Me Against the World won best rap album at the 1996 Soul Train Music Awards.Īmong movie roles, music-video cameos and court appearances, Tupac Shakur remains a frustrating yet fascinating character because it’s obvious that the 23-year-old rapper has decided to make his journey for self-discovery open to the world. It is also his fourth biggest selling album with 2,439,000 units moved to date. The album served as one of Shakur's most positively reviewed albums, with many calling it the magnum opus of his career, and is considered one of the greatest and most influential hip hop albums of all-time. This ultimately made Shakur the first artist to have an album debut at number one on Billboard 200 while serving time in prison. Me Against the World, released while Shakur was imprisoned, made an immediate impact on the charts, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. It was his impending prison sentence, troubles with the police and Shakur being poor, which many believe might have contributed to Shakur's artistic re-emergence on record, as his material is believed by Steve Huey of Allmusic to have become markedly more "confessional", "reflective", and "soul-baring". The album was composed of un-used tracks from the Thug Life era, and from other studio sessions from 1993 to 1994.
It was released Maon the Interscope Records label. Me Against the World is the third studio album by American hip hop artist Tupac Shakur.
