Twenty years ago today, Tupac Shakur’s third solo album, Me Against the World, hit stores in a time before streaming services, during an era when compact discs were still. In the year after its release, the album received the Soul Train Music Award for Best Rap Album. Along with being #1 in the US, the album also ranked #23 in Germany and #20 in Sweden. Recorded when he was just 23-years-old, and released while facing an impending prison sentence, it is a lyrical tour-de-force that touches on the issues of poverty and violence. The heavy-hearted album opens up with a radio commentary describing the circumstances surrounding his shooting. A plaque below the LP reads PRESENTED TO TUPAC SHAKUR TO COMMEMORATE THE SALE OF MORE THAN 2,000,000 COPIES OF THE INTERSCOPE RECORDS ALBUM, CASSETTE AND C.D. Debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, the album has been certified double platinum selling over 3.5 million copies in the United States alone. In honor of Me Against The World's 25th anniversary, Interscope/Urban Legends is reissuing 2Pac's third studio album, considered by many to be his most poetic and cohesive masterpiece. The platinum record displays art from the 1995 album Me Against The World LP, along with a platinum cassette tape that reads Multi-Platinum Award. The realism of this album brought a ridiculous amount of commercial success. ![]() Much less high energy than the tracks from his previous album Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z…, this album showed genuine reflection on his life and career path as an artist along with shining light on some of his personal struggles with paranoia and self-loathing. The subject matter and tone of this project were a lot more serious and introspective than anything he had previously released. The mixtape is named after one of 2Pac’s albums, also called Me Against the World. It was released in 2007 under his old moniker Tity Boi. This album was nothing like the music that gave him his “thug life” gangster image and street credentials. Me Against the World is the first mixtape from 2 Chainz. ![]()
