This is most important album by 2Pac. This album was his ticket to get out of prison. The success of this album prompted Interscope to devise a plan to get 2Pac out of prison.This is my favourite album by Pac. Indeed Dear Mama was one of the best song he ever wrote.
My favorite Tupac album as well. Just listened to it the other day from beginning to end. 💯
Love that album but Makaveli is the best record ever rap rock whatever
@Ms Penny Isaac so does ya mama
@@bobross5455 "last year was a hard one, but life goes on, banging my head against the wall learning right from wrong"
@Ms Penny Isaac go comment on Beyoncé or Lizzo because you don’t know what you talking about 🤦🏾♂️
So many tears probably the most poetic song in history
💯
Lord knows was a soundtrack to my life
Man…. It wasn’t when I first heard, but it damn sure became it
You can always bounce back, keep your head up
The og version so great.the lord knows
@@conservativeasiatic9752 it was my favorite song day one period
Lord Knows the song for the real ones to feel.
Me Against the World just brings out every emotion when I listening to it.
Right takes u from happy to sad to angry to paranoid to damn near suicidal

@@AP11634 Fasugadale my guy
@Ms Penny Isaac why all the hate?No disrespect but you got a lot of hate for Pac. The man was out of jail for 9 months made about 10 albums worth of songs and 2 movies in that time. Keep ya head up and sorry for the mama joke.
Fr I just can't compare biggie to pac, because Pac changed my life, taught me how I should love my moms regardless what she do, helped me get thru them cold nights in that cell. He was with me!!! If I stay positive and do what I gotta do, thru me pac will be reborn. True poet and leader
“Me Against The World” is Pac best album that gets overshadowed by “All Eyez On Me” MATW is his most introspective album plus u think about wat he was going through at the time smh mannnn talk about perfect art, pac BLED on this album, so pure man.
Makaveli is his best album, me against the world is number 2, all eyez on me number 3
That temptations song is one of my favorite 2pac songs.
IMO pacs most underrated slept on song is my block the og version off the show soundtrack that song doesn’t get even credit some of his very best work ever lyric is so current & relatable I never hear people talk about that song
Myyyy fucking G...U knowwwwww..the first time I heard this track,I replayed it at least 5times wit my friends
Me Against the world blows Ready to die out the water.
Me Against the World is, to me, the best Hip-Hop album of all time. No filler tracks like All Eyez On Me. If you want to know the true essence of who PAC really was, this is that album. From the beats to his incredible song writing on songs like If I Die Tonight, Dear Mama, She’d So Many Tears and so on. Album is flawless in my opinion wish more people would talk about it like they do All Eyez On Me album.
Good take I would say that Me Against the World if he had not giving us The 7 Day Theory its like
M A T W on roids but you have a great point and I cant argue with U whole heartedly
@@nicstone3141 might get a lot of flack but I’m a PAC Stan obviously lol but 7 day theory… I don’t care much for. Don’t get me wrong, good album but most the beats I just don’t like and it’s angry pac which I love but not this type of angry pac if that makes sense. Though white mans world and Krazy are two of my favorite pac songs ever!!
@@rickyrichreacts9667 Aight Rick I will just chop your reply up as dont take it personal we on the same team here but U might not quite understand the 7 day because in my humble opinion its the best album ever as far as hip hop that acoustic guitar and the mandolins he was the first to implement them at that level he gave us a different flow on every trak he covered all the bases as far as content to sum it up he gave us the angry Pac the introspective Pac the Panther Pac and again think about it sonically there was nothing that sounded like that before but to each his own
stay up wherever U R my guy
@Ms Penny Isaac you really just said pacs albums are overrated? 😂😂😂
@@nicstone3141 it's all preference my guy. I just don't enjoy most of the beats on that album. Don't get me wrong it's obviously a classic but I got it at #3 behind matw and aeom. Another reason I don't enjoy that album more is he let the outlaws jump in wayyyyyy too many times in the songs on that album. I love the outlaws because pac loved em but I honestly can't stand when they come on.
Me against the world is a classic pac album
Both are,
@@dominiquejones3805 Is All Eyez On Me a classic
Me against the world is Tupac's best album in my opinion.
Agree on dat 1
Me against the World, My favorite Album. R.I.P to both these Legends
Will Smith even said ready to die captured everything a black man goes through.
Tupac music has more substance meaning timeless
Easy Mo Bee Is One The Best Underated Producers/ Engineers Of All Time.🏆
Always loved the instrumental on the Me Against The World intro, said a LOOOOONG time ago that the Outlawz and plenty other rappers shouldve rapped on it, dont know why nobody ever did
Me Against the world one of Pac top albums
Pac album is definitely better than biggie ready to die. 💯
i'll just put it like this......i like both cd's but...it's pac hands down....heavy in da game. so many tears. if i die tonight....pac is the g.o.a.t and i still rock all of these songs to this very day just like they came out today.......
Me against Da World deals with a emotional side of pac, that we can all can relate too..... This album help me out during early 95 when a teenage kid was trying to find himself....... I think Me against world far pass ready to die.....
Moe B. give Pac that East Cost vibe! back to his roots! they worked well together
Ready to die was BIGs FIRST album. Compare pacs first album to RTD 😂. PAC was at peak artistically on Me against the world
He was still warming up
@@itisim warming up on his 3rd album after being in the industry for already 4 years by the time it came out? I don’t think so.
I compare similar songs to each other not based off tracklist. Compare street bangers to street bangers, love song to love song, motivation song to motivation. Then overall production, impact and lyrics.
Hey Del Ray can you do a video about 2pac busy work schedule on how he moved from the studio to video shoots and movies ➕ touring with radio interviews and still had time to chill in the clubs and personally with friends. I mean darn when did he take a break to rest
It’s not even close for me Me against the World is Pacs greatest album!
1 Me Against The World
2 Makeveli
3 All Eyes On Me
I disagree. The 7 Day Theory Makaveli was the best rap album ever but Me Against The World was way better than Ready to Die.
Makaveli, number 2 me against the world, all eyez on me ! Makaveli is pac best album hands down ! Makaveli changed hip hop going forward in 1996
@@jbcool9178 I understand completely what your saying I believe song for song Makeveli is amazing but I think MATW is the most personal and emotional album he made
This isn't fair. A fair assessment would be to compare debut album to debut album. But we wouldn't want to compare that huh pac fanatics. Ready to die vs 2pacalypse Now? Track for track.
It's fair because they came out in the same time period.. with in months of each other...
Some people think illmatic the best rap album ever.
It ain't even the best album of 94.
That'll be southern playalistic then ready to die play them track by track..
Outkast & Biggie smoke that shit songs had feeling a vibe,better sequence and production
The kind of beats around in 91 wasn’t the same, even check redmans first album it’s completely different, it’s like the beats were less elaborated but still dope
Nah me against the world is better 💯☝️🔥🧯
great break down, but I aint gonna lie I got triggered when you didn't choose Lord Knows. That's hands down one of Pac's best songs. And the song Outlaw just resides with me heavy. That record was crazy.
Not to forget Young Niggaz. Damn man that record still gets me hype and make me feel young. Eyy kudos to you though. I respect it.
Me too
Pac dropped so much game on young niggas really the whole album. I learned alot from Pac
Unbelievable is the only track Biggie beat Pac on that's cause of Dj Premier. Me Against the world is Tupac's second best album right after Makaveli the don killuminati the best album of all time. You know The 7 day theory. I got them wen they dropped
I just said the same fucking thing bro...I remember when I had that album and played it in my car with like 3 friend of mine who had never heard the album, when that track came on, everyone was just quiet listening, at the end of the track,I was like ok listen to track I think 14 which was death around the corner, which they hadn't heard of either, but before I cud finish , they all said nahhhh play that shit rite back,I was dammmn so these mofos was feeling that shit too lol Id never forget it, we replayed it at least 4 times no lie...that track alone shits on puffs whole discography
Lord knows the shit bring tears to my eyez..
Ain't shit like that ..
That alone is the difference maker...
Matw songs hit different especially when we seen this man life playout before our eyes and know it to be facts
Temptations
"Hay Hay Hay throw up yo finger"
R2D was like a journal into the life of a Brooklyn young man. Amazing debut.
Without a doubt. Ready to die isn’t nowhere near that level.
This puts more clarity on Tupacs you copy my style line for me. Not just the Versace, and no not specifically his rhyme style, but his subject matter. Everyone knew Pacs obsession with death. BIGGIE names his first album Ready To Die. And on top of that Easy Mo Bee did a lot of work on his album. A person Tupac worked with before him. So know I see what Tupac meant by copy my style.
Everyday Struggle and It ain't Easy is a tie...
Hell no Everyday struggle was definitely better
It ain’t easy is my favorite 2pac song, so that beats everything biggie did, by far
Ready to die is a hip hop classic niggaz sleep 😴
Me against the world was the best album ever period so this is no knock to R.T.D
“it Ain’t Easy” & “Everyday Struggle” is a push my guy!!!
I’m a huge Pac fan I got a 2Pac chain I rock all the time. I feel Ready 2 Die was the better album and Who shot Ya was better than Hit em Up. I take my feelings out of it and I listen to the tracks. I skip a few only about 2,tracks on MATW but none on R2D. As far as the WSY vs HEU Till this day when Who Shot Ya came out, it’s the only song I ever pulled my car over to side of the street at the time the I first heard it on the radio. I called my cousin and said turn on your fking radio. That high pitched horn in the background. Separate the weak from the obsolete. The lyricism in that record is unmatched to me. To me Hit em up is more of the shock factor of the lyrics than the word play. Not saying it wasn’t great lyrically as well or maybe greatest as a disrespecting song. 2 separate things. Plus he used the same beat as Get Money Remix which had no originality on production which gets a slight ding from me. And I’m from the south before y’all think I’m some NY dude. Biggie was a new artist so of course they are going to have to put more into remixes and stuff to promote the record, 2Pac had 2 albums out prior whose combined sales where less than ready to die, see what I mean you can skew the facts to win an argument but an established star is going to need less promotion than a new artist regardless of the quality of the album. Plus 2Pacs sales push and publicity came from the fact he got shot and was in prison he never saw that level of success prior. I worked in the industry managing a group myself for spell. 2Pac is probably my favorite artist of all time but sometimes I think some of his fans are like the Lebron fans that gives you all the stats, but to me, Jordan was better no matter how you want to throw stats up. It’s not a crime to say he’s my favorite but there are better works out there and Big had hits out the Yang. Big took summers over.
@@thomasbettsthelitstove what did Big mean with that line: "separate the weak from the obsolete"? It doesnt make sense to me, can you explain?
@@onajiranac7237 Sorry for the late response been battling covid. He is speaking like a medic triages a multiple wounded scene. I know because I was an EMT. You have the triage categories of the wounded on a scene with multiple casualties. You have "minimal" which are people who are scratched up but fine, "delayed" which are people with injuries that require attention but can wait a bit, "immediate" which are those with life threatening injuries, needing immediate transport, and "expectant" which are those you can only provide comfort and are expected to die regardless of medical intervention. Thats why you will see like these different colored cones at mass shooting scenes. You are supposed to separate the casualties by their category. So Big is metaphorically speaking like a medic pulling up to a multiple casualty shooting scene, he is triaging them saying put the "weak" dudes over here which is the wounded or shook dudes, and obsolete dudes over here which are the dead ones. I only got it easily because of my background. Hopefully, I broke it good enough.
@@thomasbettsthelitstove ready to die first week sales was terrible.
@@thomasbettsthelitstove it sold 57,000 in its first week
Both. These are my 2 go to albums especially when your stressed out, broke, poverty stricken, and going through it struggling or fighting some charges dealing with this broken unfair criminal justice system or dealing the death of a loved one.
💯
Word, 2 monumental albums can be dropped in the same time frame, everything does not always have to be a competition
NO! But All eyes on me is definitely a all around better album than ready to die.
I still find it hard to listen to big. I don't respect the diss after the passing of Tupac.
Tupac F*d that mans wife… I bet you respected that though? You Pac fans are insane lol
@@SocaDonTV yea after biggie wouldn’t let pac know who was behind his shooting
@@mr206gohawks8 You Tupac fan boys are still hanging on to that narrative? Lol… Pac knew who was behind the shooting, plus he was warned by numerous people not to hang around with certain dudes and he chose not to listen… Stop making excuses
Ready to die for a first project was classic. Big was destined to become better over time. The hunger in that album we felt Big and his admiration for deathrow. It was well or orchestrated and flowed from beginning to the end (birth to death). First east coast album of its kind.
Illmatic
HANDS DOWN MATW!!
Plus me against the world song was on the bad boys soundtrack
All Eyes On Me #1, Always in My Book..
been playin me against the world all the way thru for almost 30 years.
All Eyez on me vs Life after death? Your thoughts? Tupac was a much better artist than Biggie. Biggie relied more on word play than Pac. Tupac was more to the point in his songs. If you stuck both of them in the booth with 30 minutes to write and record a song Tupac in my opinion wins every time. Biggie was great in his own right but his music isn’t as timeless as Pac. What are your thoughts?
Just play the freestyle from Madison Square Garden and you got your answer. Tupac kills it Big was good but Tupac gave him that. House of pain the same thing ext. Runnin from the police play those tracks and you be the Judge. Remember Big was in Thug life. With out Tupac Big would of bin a mix tape rapper.
"Relied more on word play" what rappers do you listen to. That can be applied to all the great lyricts. Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Jay-Z, Eminem, Kool G Rap, Big L, Big Pun. Anybody can rap what they think but it takes a skilled MC to put it down in a clever way.
@@3rdGenerationCancer Big had great delivery, flow, and presence on a track he had clever lines and wordplay but lacked in lyrical content everybody you named had more lyrical content
@@nvm7191 Not at all at. You must've never heard Things Done Change, Juicy, Everyday Struggle, Me & My Bitch, Sky's The Limit, Miss U. BIG had subject matter
@@3rdGenerationCancer I heard them
Remember this is just his opinion because it just seems like he has a little bias just
A little? 😆 😆
Even who shot ya a better song than hit em up. The most memorable part was Hitem up was the shid talking at the end
Still my favorite Pac album next 2 7 Day Theory
Biggie the most overrated rapper in rap history😂😂😂 when 👑 tupac 👑 was alive & free nobody existed for real for real !!!
Your a muppett if anyone is over rated its pac I love him and his music but jesus you pac Stans are unbelievable biggie isnt overrated or underrated he's where he should be in the history books.
@@jamesdillon637 biggie absolutely overrated just big in NY 👑 tupac 👑 was worldwide🌎 James did you know biggie would get buttnaked for the guy's in do the butterfly dance😂😂facts ask lil kim
@@jamesdillon637 biggie was a homosexual his circle was too😂😂
@@raymondbrown4972 we are on about music I don't care what biggie did he was way more lyrical than pac and all that was wrong with pac is he knew big was better than him biggie is way more loved in New york in the UK ireland Jamaica and France than pac ever has been people do be bumping his shit over here in these countries cause that's gangster rap so he is no way overrated pac is only liked in california and Africa nowhere else really
@@jamesdillon637 lyical means being able to rap about anything any topic any subject😂😂 biggie definitely could not do that only thing biggie rap about was parting women clothes drugs plus homosexual lyrics definitely wasn't lyrical😂😂 👑 tupac 👑 the rap god! nobody til this day can touch on topics subjects he rap about😂😂 that's why everyone compares yourself to 👑 tupac 👑 nobody wants to be compared to biggie😂 👑 tupac 👑 luv worldwide even the places you name😂😂😂
Kudos to TUPAC'S Me against the 🌎, it's Awesome & Amazing Album 👑❣️💎🔝
More so Biggie's ready to die vs 2Pacalyse now. And Life after death vs Strictly for my nggaz. In which Biggies are better.
He's scared 😂🤣
That production on Ready to Die was banging!
4 me me against the world, illmatic, return of the boom bap,straight outta compton n a tribe called quest 1st 4 albums are the ultimate classics I could never get tired of bumpin every day all day
Keep it going Delray i tune in
everyday after work
Substance wise and song by song i have to go with M.A.G
It Touches me deeper than Ready to Die
Me against the world was so surreal to listen to. Pac basically predicted being shot at Quad before it happened. The production and content were phenomenal.
@@kenbell3101 Its called google. The Album was released before he got shot
@@DJCalimovement so what's the correction
Pac was shot at quad in 94
Me Against The World came out in 95
Your opinion is biased obviously. Your a real fan of Tupac. Rip the Greatest to ever do it. I hope my name tastes like ass when you speak it! Big Poppa
"Lord Knows" crushing that entire album. What the fuck!?!
Right. Did this man just say “The what” is better than Lord Knows?? I almost cut this off
Right
I think I love the few more songs off Ready 2 Die but Damn Me Against The World is my joint
Me Against The World is Pac best album & is better than Ready To Die
Why are you comparing Pac's 3rd album to Big's first? Why not compare 2Pacalypse Now? We know why bc Ready To Die would murder that shit. Compare Biggie's 2nd album to Pac's 2nd album, again that's another L.
Dude is biased I can’t take this serious
@@sascott1987 Right? And I love Pac, but dude is corny for this.
@@shawnwilliam1802 definitely respect the album MATW but I can’t take him serious at all
See how he ain’t ask is pac first album better than ready to die which is biggie first album lol
Very cringe video(and bias)
@@jknumber5138 super bias can’t fool me
They were two different ages and two different life experiences by then.
2Pac hands down💯
Great analysis bro though I feel some songs you gave to Biggie should have been a tie considering the message from Pac's songs, that being said Me against the World is definitely one of the best hip hop albums of all time.
Me Against The World! 🌎💥🤛🏆
Lord Knows is one of my favorite songs on MATW!
I liked Me Against the World more than Ready to Die but I liked Life After Death more than All Eyez on Me.
TUPAC SAID THAT BIGGIE COPIED HIS ORIGINAL ME AGAINST THE WORLD AND HE HAD TO RE DO IT BECAUSE TUPAC HAD REDID HIS WHOLE ALBUM..HE CHANGED IT AROUND AND PUT MORE WEST COAST BEATS ON THERE
Temptations is better than Big Pappa.
I think they are 2 different artists. Pac is a poet and Biggie is a metaphorically gifted rapper. It's just a preference.
Ready to die wins song for song with the exception of dear mama
Ready to die is a superb album. Sold much better and is a much better production album
Me against the world sold more
Rolling Stone: “Ready to Die” best hip hop album of all times.
Both albums were great! But ready to die was way better
"It ain't eazy being me will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free"
I loved both albums to be honest. I can`t really say one is better than the other. I bought Me Against the World on cassette tape back in 1995. And years later bought again on cd. That album was dope. 2Pac Me Against The World I played that album heavy back then. 2Pac Temptations & Death Around the Corner was straight 🔥🔥🔥
When I heard the song Juicy by The Notorious BIG I was on board I loved his flow. I bought his album on cassette tape back in November 1994. I played the hell out of that album The Notorious BIG Ready To Die. By the summer of 1995 I bought the One More Chance remix single and that joint was 🔥🔥🔥. The Notorious BIG Machine Gun Funk & Warning was straight 🔥🔥🔥.
RIP to the Legends Of The Fall.
I know biggie was taking too many Ls jeans to head but no way is any song on R2D not named big poppa or Juicy coming close to Lord Knows!! What?! Lord of knows is one of Pacs hardest songs from start to finish. Anyway, love the breakdown and it kinda mirrors both artists and their levels. Big will always be lyrically nice but Pac was just on another level. Put it this way, Pac was like 2 or 3 Bigs.
Yeh it was to be honest. It was more diverse. Ready To Die dope though, but it wasn’t as diverse and deep as Me Against The World.
Delray
I would love for you to do Me against the world vs Makaveli track by track
A request from the UK
Agreed. The only person Pac was in competition with was himself
Biggie ready to die ! Hands down!BIGGIE
Best Tupac album for sure 💰
So many tears hits so different I play it every morning when I wake up
Delray richardson..came in here with home work, let me grab a beer and a cigarette..I need to check mate this..
Ready To Die was a better album all round, any hip hop head with merit and no bias will tell you this, I’m shocked at some of these comments in here. I know people love 2pac but you gotta be out your mind to think Me Against The World was superior to one of the best debut hip hop albums ever made. Me Against the World is not a classic album, it’s got classics joints and came out at a pivotal time in PAC’s life story, but it’s not a classic, it’s a 4 Mic album at best. Ready To Die is a 5 Mic album, no doubt about it, cut the B.S. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 no joint gets skipped. Pac rushed Me Against The World, the original version of the album that never got released was actually a better body of work. Like I said, he got classic songs on this album like “So Many Tears”, “Temptations” and “Dear Mama”.
Bro you high 😂
Compare pacs first album to ready to die
They only go by his last 3 vs Biggie last 2
Which is better Life After Death or All Eyes on Me?
All eyes on me all day!!!!
All eyez on me, front to back
I agree with all your picks except “Everyday Struggle "
Pac 1 2 3 0 0 4 0 5 6 7 0 8 9 10 11 0
Big 0 0 0 1 2 0 3 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 5 6
Pac wins with 11 votes
Big had 6
Biggie’s Life After Death album wasn’t even better than the….. R U Still down album…. Str8 up!!!
The funny thing is r u still down was thug style but he Scratch 🗑 that album cause ready 2 to sounded like his album
Me against the world sold more then ready to die and it was better 🤷♂️
Absolutely!!no contest!big never had the impact that pac did he is still to this day worldwide no diss to big.
Me Against the World is way better than Pacs Death Row stuff. And his Death Row stuff was Fire.
All pac albums better than biggie 2 albums
Tupac had the same for most of his tracks. Dear momma is the stand out
Here we go you can’t compare 2pac and biggie they was both very excellent artist
8 was close. Skill wise the what, but lyrically id say lord knows is so personally (i take a puff of the blunt to take the pain out, and if i wasnt high id probably blow my brains out - which he was close to before going to jail). Everyday struggle and suicidal thoughts is an interesting one - i think it's the "copied my style" big copied from him, because he had heard the lyrics to ru still down and me against the world album before. Otherwise agree - good analysis. Illmatic, me against the world and it's dark and hell is hot - my top 3 hip hop albums of all time.
Ready to Die anyday
Just found your channel today because I’m a 2Pac fan forever. I love the interview you did with his father, his brother. Hopefully you do one with his sister on his father side.
Against all odds is better diss track compare too hit em up . just my opinion
Yes
Me Against The World (Song) better than Gimme The Loot???????? Are you smoking CRACK
Pac was a lyrical genius. Just listen to what he is saying. Gimme the loot was just a hard core song to smoke while listening.
ruclips.net/video/QHCSL-AKd3w/видео.html
Yes it was. NO DEBATE
