Touted as “confessional,” “reflective,” and “soul-baring,” Me Against the World was as one of 2pac’s most positively reviewed albums, with many calling it the magnum opus of his career. In 1996, at the 38th Grammy Awards, Me Against the World was nominated for Best Rap Album and the single “Dear Mama” was nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance. Me Against the World won best rap album at the 1996 Soul Train Music Awards. “Dear Mama” was released as the album’s first single in February 1995 and would be the album’s most successful single, topping the Hot Rap Singles chart, and peaking at the ninth spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Released while 2pac was imprisoned, the album made an immediate impact on the charts, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200. Drawing lyrical inspiration from his impending prison sentence, troubles with the police, and poverty, the album is described as being 2Pac’s most introspective album. Me Against the World is the third studio album by 2Pac, released on 14th March, 1995 by Out Da Gutta/Interscope Records.
