MATW to zdecydowanie najbardziej osobisty krążek rapera, który zdobył pierwsze miejsce w notowaniu Billboard 200. "Me Against The Word" dziś zdecydowanie jest klasykiem, emocjonalne i społecznie zaangażowane numery jak "Dear Mama" i "So Many Tears" sprawiły, że Tupac został zupełnie inaczej postrzegany, była to duża odmiana dla słuchaczy, którzy kojarzyli Paca jedynie z gangsta rapem. Steve Huey, AllMusic Reviewġ4 marca 1995 roku Tupac wypuścił swój trzeci studyjny album "Me Against The World" i zmienił rap grę na zawsze. It's the best place to go to understand why 2Pac is so revered it may not be his definitive album, but it just might be his best. He longs for the innocence of childhood ("Young Niggaz," "Old School"), and remembers how quickly it disappeared, yet he still pays loving, clear-eyed tribute to his drug-addicted mother on the touching "Dear Mama." Overall, Me Against the World paints a bleak, nihilistic picture, but there's such an honest, self-revealing quality to it that it can't help conveying a certain hope simply through its humanity. Even romance takes on a new meaning as an escape from the hellish pressure of everyday life ("Temptations," "Can U Get Away"), and when that's not available, getting high or drunk is almost a necessity. These tracks - most notably "So Many Tears," "Lord Knows," and "Death Around the Corner" - are all the more powerful in hindsight with the chilling knowledge that he was right. He battles occasional self-loathing, is haunted by the friends he's already lost to violence, and can't escape the desperate paranoia that his own death isn't far in the future. Even the more combative tracks ("Me Against the World," "Fuck the World") acknowledge the high-risk life he's living, and pause to wonder how things ever went this far.
#2PAC DEAR MAMA REMIX 1 2009 FULL#
It's his most thematically consistent, least-self-contradicting work, full of genuine reflection about how he's gotten where he is - and dread of the consequences.
By and large, this isn't the sort of material that made him a gangsta icon this is 2Pac the soul-baring artist, the foundation of the immense respect he commanded in the hip-hop community. Having stared death in the face and survived, he was a changed man on record, displaying a new confessional bent and a consistent emotional depth.
Recorded following his near-fatal shooting in New York, and released while he was in prison, Me Against the World is the point where 2Pac really became a legendary figure.
