Because of this album and the controversy surrounding it, critics and fans have used the work as a litmus test for “realness” in rap.
With “Me Against the World”, Tupac took the opportunity to address his many run-ins with the law, his feelings towards friends-turned-enemies, paranoia and even his own mortality.
The fact that his words were backed up by the truth via news headlines resonated with people around the world, making it his definitive body of work. – XXLmarg.
