Me Against The World

Amazon.co.uk The gruesome details surrounding Tupac's third solo offering are enough to give any music fan the willies. Released when Tupac was in jail serving time for a rape conviction and just after his recovery from being shot-up gangland-style at a recording studio, this was his most introspective piece of work to date. The heavy-hearted album opens up with a radio commentary describing the circumstances surrounding his shooting, and then plunges headfirst into Pac's infatuation with death. "So Many Tears", "Death Around the Corner" and "If I Die 2Nite" are all dark, eerily prophetic tunes that lend credence to widespread theories which suggest that Pac anticipated his impending death. The perpetually thugged-out wonder reveals a more benevolent side when it comes to gender and family issues. On "Dear Mama"--a fitting tribute to his mother recorded in the "Keep Ya Head Up" vein--Pac takes listeners into the loving recesses of his heart, while on "Can U Get Away", he echoes similar respectful sentiments to black womynkind. This is probably 'Pac's most progressive issues-oriented release before he signed to Death Row and became a full-blown thug. --Dalton Higgins Product description Me Against The World - CD No. Disks or Items: 1 Product Type: Music / CD - Genre / General 1 - 1 - Intro - 01:46 1 - 2 - If I Die 2Nite - 03:57 1 - 3 - Me Against The World - 04:41 1 - 4 - So Many Tears - 03:59 1 - 5 - Temptations - 05:00 1 - 6 - Young Niggaz - 04:53 1 - 7 - Heavy In The Game - 04:24 1 - 8 - Lord Knows - 04:32 1 - 9 - Dear Mama - 04:40 1 - 10 - It Aint Easy - 04:54 1 - 11 - Can You Get Away - 05:46 1 - 12 - Old School - 04:41 1 - 13 - Fuck The World - 04:14 1 - 14 - Death Around The Corner - 04:07 1 - 15 - Outlaw - 04:33 Release Date : 31/10/2011 Dimensions: W: 142mm x L: 125mm x H: 10mm Weight: 92g Barcode: 0012414163622 Catalogue No.: 1416362
