2PAC-MeAgainstTheWorld

1995: 2Pac released his third solo studio album Me Against the World. Featuring classic tracks like “Dear Momma” and “So Many Tears,” the album was hailed my critics as one of the best albums of 1995 and 2Pac’s most personal work to date. Composed of leftover tracks from Thug Life Vol. 1 recorded during the period between ’93 and ’94, Me Against the World was released while Pac was serving a on-and-a-half to four-and-a-half year sentence for sexual abuse.

The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, selling 240,000 over copies in its first week. It was certified double platinum by the end of 1996, and was later recognized by the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame as, “one of the most influential and popular albums” in recent music history.

    This was the album when Pac became PAC! It was on after that. Still arguably the best. I felt like Makaveli was part 2 to this. This set it off. All Eyez on Me was “let’s have a big ass party and throw all of my homeboys on it and sell more units than all these niggas” and then Makaveli was like let me get back in that “Me Against the World” Mindstate and go back within
