Product Description
From 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

Pac Kinda Slipped...,
By Hip-Hop Head "thug_makaveli" (Moonstone,Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Me Against The World (Audio CD)
I didn't feel this album as much as i felt his first three (2pacalypse Now,Strictly for my N.I.G.G.A.Z and Thug Life) but he still spit some of the best lyrics on this album.I just feel that the lable made this album and that 2pac didn't have as much say in it at all.But if your are a Pac fan or just a hip-hop fan this is a must have by a long shot.Best Song "Dear Mama"
5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful CD, buy it!,
This review is from: Me Against The World (Audio CD)
This CD is a beautiful piece of work. Tupac intellectually captured emotions as shown in "Dear Mama" and "So Many Tears"GET IT! For those few people disrespecting 2pac and rapping,you should stop basing all your opinions on what your pissy little friends tell you about rap. And to the idiot who said he could make a rap album, i'd f**king like to see you try, cuz i havent seen you on my tv screen yet. rap is in rock music too. And if you hate rap so much, why the hell would you listen to 2pac, find the name of his album on this site and badmouth it?
