best song from Me Against The World?

[Hack Wilson - real]

what are your favorite 3 songs from the classic Me Against The World album??

[Jimmy H.]

Young Niggaz, Dear Mama, and Temptations. It was a tough three to pick too because I love the title track.

[TraceOneInfinite]

That's a tough call.  I mean other than Pac's magnum opus "Dear Mama" you really don't have any tracks that stand out from the others as nearly all of them are classic.  A great album from top to bottom one of the greatest albums ever recorded, and possibly even the greatest ever.

At different times different cuts were my favs.  When the album first came out I remember I didn't like the second single that much "Temptations" so I thought back then being young that maybe "Dear Mama" was the only dope cut on there.   "So Many Tears" was another single but I don't ever remember that video getting airplay.

It wasn't till 98 when I was chilling at a friends house we had some girls over and that album was playing from beggining to end while we were getting down, and it was "It Ain't Easy" that really caught my attention and then the few songs that followed "Can You Get Away" and "Old School" really grabbed me.

After I finally bought it for myself, "If I Die 2nite" and "Me Against the World" became my favorite tracks.

Guess now I would have to say "So Many Tears", "Old School" and "Dear Mama" are my favorite cuts.

why didn't you vote, Brian?

Old School. Was always one of my favorite Pac songs and is one that it seems like most casual fans haven't heard.

[TraceOneInfinite]

why didn't you vote, Brian?

I voted

[BiG*WiCkEd]

This is by far his best  album. I just wished he was alive to make full, complete albums like this.  To me this is real music for the soul.

Couldn't really say whats better between Me Against the World and So Many Tears.

As we all agree this is a great album from start to finish so its hard to pick.

But im going to stay away from the obvious big tracks on this album and vote for the more lesser know
to the wider audience tracks if you know what i mean!

Lord Knows
Fuck The World
Outlaw

I remember bumping those tracks at school when i was 13 when the album dropped! Nobody knew who Pac was then
at my school

[bouli77]

when i was younger my favorite tracks were Outlaw / So Many Tears / Fuck the World

But now, my favorite tracks are If I Die 2nite / Me Against the World / So Many Tears. they all have that urgency, rawness, spontaneity that I love in 2pac.

I give you props for that.  Sounds like you are the same age as me.   I definitely knew who Pac was at the time, I had been a fan of him since "I Get Around" first dropped.  Funny story though is that I went to the store to buy his album and didn't buy it just because it said "Strictly 4 My Niggaz" and I thought that was racist or something, so I bought the single to "Keep Your Head Up" instead.   So I was a Pac fan before Me Against the World dropped.  Then, as I said above when Me Against the World dropped and the second single "Temptations" video didn't really grab me so I didn't buy the album at first.  Wasn't till 3 years after it dropped that I finally got into the whole album, so you were wiser then me back in the day.

Haven't actually heard this album in full.... lol.

Funny this poll is for 3 of your favourite tracks as I have only ever heard 3 tracks off here.... Dear Mama, Me Against The World and So Many Tears.

Off to youtube......

**Actually heard Temptation & It aint easy before...... solid album.... but my favourite would still be Strictly 4 My N.i.G.G.a.Z

[DJ SUGAFREE QUIK]

I haven't heard the album.  I do have 2 or 3 2pac albums-all eyez on me, greatest hits & resurrection. 
So many tears & me against the world.

Had Very Hard Time Choosing 3 Tracks When WHOLE ALBUM IS THE BOMB!

[Mietek23]

If I Die 2nite, Lord Knows and It Ain't Easy are my Top 3. If I Die 2nite showed Pac's skills as a technical/lyrical artist - they way this song was written just blows me away


With that being said, I still think "Outlaw" should be replaced with "Throw Ya Hands Up" - that song's the bomb

[bouli77]

If I Die 2nite, Lord Knows and It Ain't Easy are my Top 3. If I Die 2nite showed Pac's skills as a technical/lyrical artist - they way this song was written just blows me away

there's nothing really mindblowing about If I Die 2Nite from a technical standpoint, there's just a strong emphasis on alliterations throughout the song (with the letters S and P primarily "picturing pitiful punk niggaz copping pleas" / "i'm sick of psychotic society somebody save me"). nothing unheard of or very difficult to come up with. but it's very efficient and the energy and urgency conveyed by Pac's delivery are unfuckwitable.
