Me Against the World (CD)

2Pac recorded Me Against the World from prison, serving time at Rikers Island while awaiting sentencing on an assault conviction. It became the first album by a living artist to debut at number one while its creator was incarcerated. The album is his most emotionally direct: Dear Mama is one of the most tender tributes in rap history, So Many Tears one of the most haunted. Death Around the Corner, recorded in a single session, proved prophetic. It was released in March 1995 and went platinum within a month. 2Pac was released from prison six months later. He would be killed eighteen months after that.
