Today we have gathered what some of his closest friends, relatives, and colleagues have to say about “Me against the world” and Tupac himself.
His music continues to ring true to this day, giving voice to movements like Black Lives Matter. Tupac didn’t hold anything back while writing this album – making it a staple in hip-hop music for generations to come. The soulful instrumental (“Dear Mama,” “Me Against the World”), true thoughts (“So Many Tears,” “Lord Knows”), and scary paranoia (“If I Die 2Nite,” “Death Around the Corner”) found in these songs are extremely honest and that is why they are still being listened to. Like many before him (Marvin Gaye – What’s going on? & Miles Davis – Kind of Blue) Tupac turned his pain and anger into poetry and music, giving an outlet to the emotions he felt and making it relatable for the audience. The emotional turmoil from getting shot, feeling betrayed (by both the system and his close friends), going to court, and subsequently being imprisoned made Tupac write some of the biggest social justice hymns to this day. This is the background that led to the writing of “Me against the world”. He serves 11 months in New York’s Clinton Correctional Facility. In the same year, Tupac is imprisoned again due to a sexual assault accusation from 1993. The assailants are still unknown, although in an interview in ‘95 the rapper accused Sean Combs and Biggie among others of taking part or knowing beforehand of the shooting. In 1994 he spent 15 days in prison for the assault on Allen Hughes, the co-director of “Menace II Society” and later that same year the famous rapper took 5 bullets in Quad Recording Studios in New York. Tupac led a dangerous life ever since childhood and the ’90s were no different. And from the charred remains of his past – the shooting, the trial, and the media storm that pinned him inside the prison cell at New York’s Clinton Correctional Facility he made the groundwork for his magnum opus, his final message – “Me Against the World”. However Tupac was one of a kind – he arose from the ashes like a great Phoenix and spread his wings with renewed strength and breath of life. Tupac`s world was set ablaze in a fiery inferno that burned with such a fury that for most it would have surely been a harbringer of a certain end. The artist knew that he could use his art and his place in society to influence the world around him – in doing so Tupac became one of the symbolic activists against inequality. The music he wrote was an outlet for his outrage regarding the social construct at the time. Tupac Shakur was famous for speaking up and standing his ground, regardless of the consequences. However, with the start of 1995 cracks began appearing on the seemingly impenetrable armor of the audacious rapper. Unlike many of his contemporaries that were labeled as “studio gangsters (gangstas)”, he was someone who actually led the hardcore lifestyle he was rapping about in his songs. Tupac Shakur hardly ever let anyone doubt that he was the real deal.
