This one is special for Tupac because he was able to tap into his emotions better than ever. It falls in to line with Straight Outta Compton, The Chronic, Doggystyle, The Predator and Tupac’s own All Eyez On Me in terms of the greatest West Coast rap albums of all time. Overall, Me Against The World is one of the greats. “I see death around the corner, the pressure's gettin to me / I no longer trust my homies - them phonies tried to do me / Smoking too much weed, got me paranoid, stressed / Pack a gat and my vest, under my clothes when I dress,” says a lot about Tupac’s final years on the planet. “Fuck The World” says it all in the title, and “Death Around The Corner” does too in hindsight. Then Tupac goes out with guns blazin’ on the last few cuts. “It Ain’t Easy,” “Can U Get Away,” and “Old School” continue the relatively mellow section of the album that “Dear Mama” began. You can’t help but to side with the villain on this one. In “Dear Mama,” Tupac justifies his drug dealing by saying it feels good to take care of his mother. There are a lot of rap songs about justifying the hustle, whether that’s pimping or drug dealing or even killing. I hope you got the diamond necklace that I sent to you” It feels good putting money in your mailbox I ain't guilty cause even though I sell rocks I needed money of my own so I started slangin' I hung around with the thugs, and even though they sold drugs They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my anger No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there Tupac makes it clear in this rare love song that he appreciates his mother, and it’s been an instant classic ever since. I don’t know if you could play the whole album at a familial affair, but “Dear Mama” is definitely one that’s PG-13 enough for everyone to hear. Of course, “Dear Mama” is one of Tupac’s most accessible cuts. He’s known as a poet, for crying out loud, and his words evoke imagery as potent as Charles Bukowski's or Edgar Allen Poe’s. There simply wasn’t another rapper who did it like him. His ability to express his emotions was second to none in the ‘90s. I'm gettin' lost in the weed, man, gettin' highĪnd if I wasn't high, I'd probably try to blow my brains out I can't sleep, so I stay up, don't wanna fuck them bitches

Hennessy make a nigga think he strong, man I had to tell him it was alright, and that's a lieĪnd he knew it when he shook and died, my God Homies died in my arms, with his brains hangin', fucked up! Kill me if they could, I'll never let 'em capture meĭone lost too many niggas to this gangbangin' It isn’t his most positive moment, but it’s a really heartfelt song. “Lord Knows” sees our subject dive deeper in to the subjects of suicide, police paranoia, and drug dependency. Dre to make, and the supporting cast of relatively unknown vocalists make this deep cut seem fresh in 2015. The G-funk beat is as stanky as anything George Clinton influenced Dr. “Heavy in the Game” provides some historical context on the production side of things. Sometimes I hate when brothers act up, I hit the weedĪnd I proceed to blow the track up, for young niggas” More and more brothers givin' up and don't care The epidemic and diseases, what is the future? I watch the murder rate increases, and even worse Puttin' niggas in a casket, murdered for hangin'Īt the wrong place at the wrong time, no longer livin'Ĭause he threw up the wrong sign, and every day Put down the guns and have some fun nigga, the rest'll come nigga Tryin' to maintain in this dirty game, keep it realĪnd I will even if it kills me, my young niggas “Now that I'm grown, I got my mind on bein' somethin'ĭon't wanna be another statistic, out here doin' nuthin' He spits positivity, backed by harsh reality, to skew his young listeners in a way that would make his mother, Afeni Shakur, happy. On “Young Niggaz” he speaks to the younger generation, urging them to bypass the street life in hopes to live a straight and happy existence. He isn’t on his gangster shit, he’s grown. This album is 2Pac at his rawest, emotionally. “Now I'm lost and I'm weary, so many tears / I'm suicidal so don't stand near me / My every move is a calculated step, to bring me closer / To embrace an early death, now there's nothing left.” Tupac was clearly in a really rough place in the years leading up to his death, but that pain led to incredible art. “So Many Tears” sees Shakur speaking of suicide.
