“Me Against the World” by 2Pac featuring Dramacydal

The title track of 2Pac's third studio album, "Me Against the World" arrived with the rest of the record on March 14, 1995, through Interscope and Out da Gutta Records. He wanted that album more personal, more reflective, than anything he'd done before, and he drew on the prison sentence he was facing, his run-ins with the police and poverty.

Soulshock & Karlin, the Danish production duo, produced it, and Soulshock mixed it with engineer Jay Lean; Afeni Shakur served as executive producer. 2Pac wrote the words, the rap group Dramacydal ride shotgun as guests, and Puff Johnson sings backup. The composer credits run long, from Kenneth Karlin, E.D.I. Mean and Yaki Kadafi to Burt Bacharach, Hal David, Minnie Riperton and Richard Rudolph.
