His emotion was more than enough to bring these smooth beats to life he usually opted to include great singers to give these songs a professional feel, for example, choruses. Sure, he could be considered an innovative artist he had more than an “ear for a beat” but was groove savvy like no other mainstream rapper of his time. So from the hard-hitting G-Rap jamz of “If I Die 2nite” to any loving mother’s anthem “Dear Mama” 2Pac uses his talent very well, and its clear that his young, ballet-dancing art-school attending self is trying to break the mold. And while you will encounter this aggressive side of Pac on almost all of these songs, you’ll be able to hear his intellectual side go to work too, and just as well. He’d already lived on the West Coast for a while before this was released and his gangsta-rap mentality left a permanent mark on his lyrics, but thankfully didn’t encompass everything because this guy was a poet at heart, and not necessarily a gang-banging hoodlum as some like to believe. Shakur’s poetic ability is no stranger to this album lyrically it rivals the masterful performance on his debut “2Pacalypse Now” and from time to time, surpasses it by far. Pac’s focus and determination is evident on “Me Against The World” within every song, and while it isn’t perfect, it’ll maintain his perfect legacy for years to come. This point in time could be called his “prime”, and ironically he was in prison but that didn’t hurt his beautiful mind. “Me Against The World” was his magnum opus, a brilliant example of rhythm and rhyme intertwined. Tupac Shakur epitomized what hip-hop was trying to do make it political, make it relevant and above all make it funky. He’s an inspiring man, an iconic man, and a talented man.
