1 on both charts where it stayed for four weeks straight. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and Billboard's R&B Albums charts and was Shakur's first album to go to No. Originally released in 1995, this landmark album debuted at No. March 14th, 2015 marks the 20 th anniversary of Tupac Shakur's critically acclaimed, GRAMMY® nominated, double-platinum release Me Against The World. It was his most introspective and emotionally deep release to date, giving a raw and honest insight into one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all-time. But I used that metallic texture of ‘That Girl.LOS ANGELES, Ma/PRNewswire/ - Me Against The World is considered one of the most influential rap albums of all-time and serves as an artistic milestone in Tupac Shakur's career. I didn’t jack the bassline…I wrote my own chords. You can hear Stevie’s texture on ‘So Many Tears. Stevie Wonder’s ‘That Girl’ was one of my favorite songs, so I knew at some point I was going to sample it. We later changed the line to ‘They try to say that I don’t care…’ ‘So Many Tears’ is another one that wasn’t made with Pac in mind. The original line was: ‘Something Minneapolis said…’ Pac let us keep some of those background vocals on there. But we ended up not doing it because nobody felt the beat but me. He’s like, ‘This one, nigga!’ It was that ‘Fuck The World’ beat, which was really a Prince remake.
I’m like, ‘There is no fourth beat…I searched and searched.’ He played the tape for me and when the third beat ran out some old, dusty shit that I had taped over and didn’t want no one to hear came on. I flew up to LA to meet with Pac about the songs. So Pac calls me back in Oakland and he’s like, ‘I like the first one and the fourth one.’ And I’m puzzled because I only sent three tracks.
The first one was what turned out to be Digital Underground’s ‘Oregano Flow,’ the second was ‘So Many Tears’ and the third one was a beat I can’t remember. “I sent three good songs to Pac for the Me Against The World album.
