Weighty issues are handled sensitively and compassionately throughout Me Against The World, an album often considered to be 2Pac’s finest. In truth, it was a title that spoke for thousands of men and women facing the same kind of problems 2Pac rapped about: being black, poor, and marginalized in a society where they seemed destined to fail. If you consider the fierce, often savage framework around which 2Pac built his public persona-giving paparazzi the finger and spitting at them, severe brushes with the law, the aggression he carried in his final years-you might suspect that naming an album Me Against The World was his ultimate “f**k you” to everybody.

Happy 25th Anniversary to 2Pac’s third studio album Me Against The World, originally released March 14, 1995.
