Product Description This classic album by the pioneering rapper is now available through Amaru/Jive Records. Besides the smash hit "Dear Mama," this album includes "If I Die 2Nite," "Me Against the World," "So Many Tears," "Temptations," "Heavy in the Game" (feat. Richie Rich), "Lord Knows," "It Ain't Easy," "Can You Get Away," "F*#k the World," "Outlaw" (feat. Dramacydal) and more. desertcart.com 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 Review: 2 pac cd review - Good adiou, one of his best cds.

A classic in every sense.
Personally, I don't identify with a lot of rap today, and at times the mainstream is unlistenable garbage. This is not that. This is 2Pac at the height of his game. Along with AEoM this presents two of the greatest rap albums ever made. A decidedly less gangsta version of Eyez, this one has a tragic yet wise feel to it that I almost wish he would have stuck with. Though I think Eyez probably has the better hits, it feels like this is the album I would recommend to people just getting into 2Pac. You can't deny some of the more than solid surrounding pieces like Old School, and the hits like Dear Mama and the title track are as good as they always were. Temptations, Can U Get Away, and a few others round out the exceptional package and kind of hint at his future demise, sadly. What is there is something everyone should at least try to listen to once, and thus this receives my highest recommendation.

Great album and great gift to a friend
I gift this to a friend. So glad physical copies are somewhat still around in this tech world. Because this is something my friend always wanted to own.

"2nd 2 None"
"Back in elementary, I strived on misery...left me alone I grew up amongst a dying breed". Immortal words of an immortal soul. What 2Pac brought to the "rap game" was unquestionable, and definitely undeniable. The difference between a "Lyricist & an MC" is methodology. 2Pac had the ability to combine both art forms into one technique, which is what made him a unique artist. 2Pac or (Pac) as we called him on the Westcoast,...was the opposite of 'Jekyll & Hyde!" in other words, he could administer surgical precision on paper,...and literally become a monster on the mic. 'Me Against The World; was his third studio album, a follow-up to (Strictly for my N.I.G.G.A.Z.). MATW was a more somber, tempered album... 2Pac's approach was "methodically mature" this time around, and it shows in his words & flow. This album is a must-have for any rap fan, but it is a must if you're a (2Pac) fan. Even with a half-way decent record player, this album is 'top-quality', Pressed to perfection, and delivers on the audio. I will always be an immortal "fan and critic" of (2Pac), and there is a heaven for a 'G'.

This album is by far the GOAT of HipHop. Good quality vinyl as well.
Delivery was timely. Vinyl quality excellent, no issues. If you are on the fence about this album due to the price, remember that a lot of Hip-Hop records of this time, and really in general, are hard to find and this one is no exception. A first edition press will run you hundreds of dollars. This is a great alternative. This is one of those rare instances where every song on the album is memorable. The best 2Pac album by far, perhaps the best album of Hip-Hop period. This record is a representation of the peak of 90's hip-hop, it just went downhill after this, meaning, nothing since has had the same soul and impact, many have tried but none compare to this. Worth it if you are a fan.

Não sou profundo conhecedor do estilo musical mas entendo a importância artística e histórica de 2pac. Adquiri o álbum pelo fato de ser considerado por especialistas como a obra-prima do artista e, além disso, representar o estilo musical entre outros gêneros da música pop nas listas de melhores álbuns de todos os tempos.

Pac cambió un poco su estilo en esta ocasión. Se aleja de los temas políticos y de las letras más duras y opta por un estilo más callejero. Este álbum contiene algunos de los mejores momentos de la carrera de Pac. Casi todos los temas destacan. Hay muy pocas apariciones de invitados y eso está bien porque Pac es uno de los mejores raperos. Tiene una voz increíble y puede fluir muy bien sobre esta increíble producción. Por lo demás, decir que el envío sin duda ha sido espectacular por parte de Disco100 y el CD llegó rápido y en perfecto estado.
