Exasperated by his existential realities, he retreated to the studio to curate his most introspective work up to that time, his landmark album, Me Against the World. Ultimately, he was convicted of first-degree sexual abuse and sentenced to one and a half to four and a half years in prison. A little over a year later, on November 30th, 1994, he was shot five times and robbed at the Quad Recording Studios in New York City. On November 18th, 1993, 2Pac was accused of rape, a charge he vehemently denied. But just as his popularity grew exponentially, he became mired in controversy after controversy. As an actor, he was a movie star on the rise, playing iconic roles in Juice, Poetic Justice, and Above the Rim. Emerging from the Digital Underground camp, 2Pac’s music was filled with prophetic rage, tales of suffering from the inner city, systematic oppression, and a revolutionary ethos reminiscent of his family’s relationship with the Black Panthers. His previous albums, 2pacalypse Now and Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z…, garnered both critical acclaim and commercial success that cemented his place in hip-hop as a force to be reckoned with. For the most revealing, real insight into Tupac through his music, I strongly recommend Me against the worldĢpac best album like no bragging about women,money etc like todays rappers.By 1995, Tupac Amaru Shakur, aka 2Pac, had ascended into rarefied air as one of the most compelling personalities in pop culture. but theres still commercial successes on this "temptations", "dear mama" "me against the world"."So many tears",together with "heavy in the game" and "lord knows" are my recommended tunes. The mood of the album is dark to say the least so if ur afta some of his heavier/gangsta tunes buy all eyez on me. If u never listened to Tupac, buy this albumĤ me this is Tupacs best album. I love this album and its crazy that it was released 14 years ago! I still listen to it the lyrics are amazing very poetic and deep just like how tupac was.man i miss music like this You can pop in his cd now in 2010 and the lyrics and hooks are still relivent!! Nobody has ever done nor ever will do what he did. IF BIGGIE HAS THE BEST FLOW THIS CD EXEMPLIFIES 2PACS SUPREMACY AS "THE" LYRICIST.
