Me Against the WorldFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Me Against the World is the third studio album byAmerican hip hop artist Tupac Shakur. It was releasedMarch 14, 1995 on the Interscope Records label. It was hisimpending prison sentence, troubles with the police andShakur being poor, which many believe might havecontributed to Shakur's artistic reemergence on record, ashis material is believed by Steve Huey of Allmusic to havebecome markedly more "confessional", "reflective", and"soul-baring".[2]

Me Against the World, released while Shakur wasimprisoned, made an immediate impact on the charts,debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. This madeShakur the first artist to have an album debut at numberone on Billboard 200 while serving time in prison. Thealbum served as one of Shakur's most positively reviewedalbums, with many calling it the magnum opus of hiscareer, and is considered one of the greatest and mostinfluential hip hop albums of all-time.[3] Me Against theWorld won best rap album at the 1996 Soul Train MusicAwards.[4]

Background

In 1993, Tupac Shakur was already a success in the hip hop industry, with two gold-certified singles

In 1993, Tupac Shakur was already a success in the hip hop industry, with two gold-certified singlesthat reached the top twenty on the pop charts ("I Get Around", "Keep Ya Head Up"), and a platinum-selling sophomore album that would peak just inside the top twenty-five of the Billboard 200 (Strictly4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.).[5][6] However, the 22-year-old artist had a series of incidents and charges ofbreaking the law. In the summer of 1993, Shakur was charged for assaulting director Allen Hugheswhile filming Menace II Society; Shakur was later sentenced to fifteen days in jail. Later, in October1993, Shakur was charged with shooting two off-duty police officers in Atlanta, though the chargeswould eventually be dismissed. In November, Shakur and two members of his entourage werecharged with sexually assaulting a female fan, for which they were found guilty and sentenced to 4.5years in jail.[7] According to Shakur, the album was made to show the hip hop audience his respectfor the art form. Lyrically, Shakur intentionally tried to make the album more personal and reflectivethan his previous efforts.[8]

Recording and production

The musical production on the album was considered by several music critics to be the best on any ofShakur's albums up to that point in his career. Steve "Flash" Juon at RapReviews gave the productionon the album a perfect 10 of 10 rating, particularly praising tracks like "So Many Tears" and"Temptations".[9] Jon Pareles of the New York Times remarked that the production had a "fatalisticcalm, in a commercial mold". He compared the album's production and synthesized hooks to that ofDr. Dre's G-funk style, stating that "while 2Pac doesn't sing, other voices do, providing smoothmelody".[10] James Bernard at Entertainment Weekly was not quite as enthusiastic about the album'sproduction, remarking that Shakur's "vocals are buried deep in the mix. That's a shameif they weremore in-your-face, the lackluster beats might be less noticeable."[11] The album's recording sessionstook place at ten different studios, while it was mastered at Bernie Grundman Mastering.[12] Althoughthe album was originally released on Interscope. Amaru Entertainment, the label owned by Shakur'smother Afeni Shakur, has since released the album twice.[13][14]

Lyrical Themes

It was like a blues record. It was down-home. It was all my fears, all the things I justcouldn't sleep about. Everybody thought I was living so well and doing so good that Iwanted to explain it. And it took a whole album to get it all out. I get to tell my innermost,darkest secrets I tell my own personal problems.[8]

Tupac Shakur

Some of the album's main themes concern the loss of innocence, paranoia, and occasional self-loathing.[2] Much attention is paid to subjects such as the pain of urban survival.[9] Not all of themusic deals with such extremely bleak subject matter, however. Some tracks, such as "Old School",lean more to the nostalgic, though somewhat bittersweet side in Shakur's remembrance of his youthand the early days of hip hop music.[2][9] The album is also well known for the more sensitive tracks"Dear Mama" and "Can U Get Away", which are both directed towards and reveal Shakur's devotion tothe women he loves. On "Dear Mama", Shakur pays tribute to and expresses his undying affection forhis own mother, continuously reminding her that though his actions might sometimes seem to stateotherwise, "you are appreciated".[9][15] On the track "Can U Get Away", Shakur attempts to impress awoman who has managed to gain his affections, away from the woman's abusive relationship. Fourof the most eerie and revered tracks on the album are "If I Die 2Nite", "Lord Knows" "Outlaw" whichdirectly references the shooting that Tupac went through before it happened, and "Fuck The World"Throughout the entirety of the album Shakur employs various poetical deliveries, ranging fromalliteration ("If I Die 2Nite"), to the use of paired couplets ("Lord Knows").[9]

Tupac Shakur's virtual appearance on the annual Coachella Festival (April 15, 2012) saw gains insales, the album sold 1,000 copies the following week (Up by 53% from the previous week).[25]

Critical reception

In a contemporary review, Cheo H. Coker at Rolling Stonecalled the album Shakur's best and said it was "by andlarge a work of pain, anger and burning desperation [it]is the first time 2Pac has taken the conflicting forcestugging at his psyche head-on".[27] Jon Pareles, writing inThe New York Times, called Shakur the "St. Augustine ofgangster rap" due to his ambivalence towards the behaviorand nature of the gangster lifestyle.[10] In a negativereview, Robert Christgau of The Village Voice felt thatShakur is "witless" when dealing with fundamental hip hopthemes of persecution and accused him of "self-pity": "Thesubtext of his persecution complex is his self-regard".[26]

In a retrospective review, Allmusic editor Steve Hueydubbed the album "[Shakur's] most thematically consistent,least self-contradicting work", and stated, "it may not be hisdefinitive album, but it just might be his best".[2] Steve "Flash" Juon of RapReview seemed to feeldifferently, remarking that the album "is not only the quintessential Shakur album, but one of themost important rap albums released in the 1990s as a whole".[31]
