Me Against The World

Good adiou, one of his best cds.

Amazing

Me encantó

Personally, I don't identify with a lot of rap today, and at times the mainstream is unlistenable garbage. This is not that. This is 2Pac at the height of his game. Along with AEoM this presents two of the greatest rap albums ever made. A decidedly less gangsta version of Eyez, this one has a tragic yet wise feel to it that I almost wish he would have stuck with. Though I think Eyez probably has the better hits, it feels like this is the album I would recommend to people just getting into 2Pac. You can't deny some of the more than solid surrounding pieces like Old School, and the hits like Dear Mama and the title track are as good as they always were. Temptations, Can U Get Away, and a few others round out the exceptional package and kind of hint at his future demise, sadly. What is there is something everyone should at least try to listen to once, and thus this receives my highest recommendation.

I gift this to a friend. So glad physical copies are somewhat still around in this tech world. Because this is something my friend always wanted to own.

One of his best albums

"Back in elementary, I strived on misery...left me alone I grew up amongst a dying breed". Immortal words of an immortal soul. What 2Pac brought to the "rap game" was unquestionable, and definitely undeniable. The difference between a "Lyricist & an MC" is methodology. 2Pac had the ability to combine both art forms into one technique, which is what made him a unique artist. 2Pac or (Pac) as we called him on the Westcoast,...was the opposite of 'Jekyll & Hyde!" in other words, he could administer surgical precision on paper,...and literally become a monster on the mic. 'Me Against The World; was his third studio album, a follow-up to (Strictly for my N.I.G.G.A.Z.). MATW was a more somber, tempered album... 2Pac's approach was "methodically mature" this time around, and it shows in his words & flow. This album is a must-have for any rap fan, but it is a must if you're a (2Pac) fan. Even with a half-way decent record player, this album is 'top-quality', Pressed to perfection, and delivers on the audio. I will always be an immortal "fan and critic" of (2Pac), and there is a heaven for a 'G'.

Delivery was timely. Vinyl quality excellent, no issues. If you are on the fence about this album due to the price, remember that a lot of Hip-Hop records of this time, and really in general, are hard to find and this one is no exception. A first edition press will run you hundreds of dollars. This is a great alternative. This is one of those rare instances where every song on the album is memorable. The best 2Pac album by far, perhaps the best album of Hip-Hop period. This record is a representation of the peak of 90's hip-hop, it just went downhill after this, meaning, nothing since has had the same soul and impact, many have tried but none compare to this. Worth it if you are a fan.
