Recorded following his near-fatal shooting in New York, and released while he was in prison, Me Against the World is the point where 2Pac really became a legendary figure. Having stared death in the face and survived, he was a changed man on record, displaying a new confessional bent and a consistent emotional depth.
By and large, this isn't the sort of material that made him a gangsta icon; this is 2Pac the soul-baring artist, the foundation of the immense respect he commanded in the hip-hop community.
It's his most thematically consistent, least-self-contradicting work, full of genuine reflection about how he's gotten where he is -- and dread of the consequences. Even the more combative tracks ("Me Against the World," "Fuck the World") acknowledge the high-risk life he's living, and pause to wonder how things ever went this far.
He battles occasional self-loathing, is haunted by the friends he's already lost to violence, and can't escape the desperate paranoia that his own death isn't far in the future.

Straight Outta Compton wasn't quite the first gangsta rap album, but it was the first one to find a popular audience, and its sensibility virtually defined the genre from its 1988 release on. It established gangsta rap -- and, moreover, West Coast rap in general -- as a commercial force, going platinum with no airplay and crossing over with shock-hungry white teenagers. Unlike Ice-T, there's little social criticism or reflection on the gangsta lifestyle; most of the record is about raising hell -- harassing women, driving drunk, shooting it out with cops and partygoers. All of that directionless rebellion and rage produces some of the most frightening, visceral moments in all of rap, especially the amazing opening trio of songs, which threaten to dwarf everything that follows. Given the album's sheer force, the production is surprisingly spare, even a little low-budget -- mostly DJ scratches and a drum machine, plus a few sampled horn blasts and bits of funk guitar. Although they were as much a reaction against pop-friendly rap, Straight Outta Compton's insistent claims of reality ring a little hollow today, since it hardly ever depicts consequences. But despite all the romanticized invincibility, the force and detail of Ice Cube's writing makes the exaggerations resonate. Although Cube wrote some of his bandmates' raps, including nearly all of Eazy-E's, each member has a distinct delivery and character, and the energy of their individual personalities puts their generic imitators to shame. But although Straight Outta Compton has its own share of posturing, it still sounds refreshingly uncalculated because of its irreverent, gonzo sense of humor, still unfortunately rare in hardcore rap. There are several undistinguished misfires during the second half, but they aren't nearly enough to detract from the overall magnitude. It's impossible to overstate the enduring impact of Straight Outta Compton; as polarizing as its outlook may be, it remains an essential landmark, one of hip-hop's all-time greatest.

The Notorious BIG在1994年发行的第一张专辑名字就叫Ready to Die，像是暗示了Biggie三年后遭枪击身亡的悲剧。然而Ready to Die着实是这位早逝英才震撼说唱乐界的超级武器在将Biggie自己半辈子的帮派生活缩影在80年代Funk节奏中的Ready to Die，毒品、谋杀样样都真实地穿插在Biggie比帮匪说唱更黑暗的音乐笔记里，The Notorious BIG拥有将幽默感发挥在人生最黑暗一面上的功力，能以生命历练来左右创作的态度，实在难得。但是专辑中两首歌重混音后的Top 10单曲Big Poppa和One More Chance却区别于整体上深沉的专辑走向，带来了慵懒的Funk风情

Some rappers die because they get shot. Some die of AIDS. But corpulent Latino rapper Big Punisher died of a massive coronary; at the time of his February 2000 death, he weighed over 600 pounds. While this made Punisher a suitable poster boy for the dangers of conspicuous consumption, on his platinum 1998 debut album, Capital Punishment, he's eager to poke fun at the creed of greed: "I'm not a player", he announces, "I just fuck a lot." But while Capital Punishment is perfectly adequate gangsta fare, Big Pun doesn't deserve the deification that dead rappers so frequently receive; here, he deviates little from the egomaniacal posturing that the Notorious B.I.G. branded his own. "If it doesn't make dollars, then it doesn't make sense," splutters compadre Fat Joe on "Glamour Life." Suitable, then, that Big Pun died in an industry where rigor mortis is the ultimate unit-shifter. --Louis Pattison

我只在乎每一次我用力扯着声带
在每个现场证明中文说唱的存在

得道者多助，说唱集大成者是也。

Verse1:
放一首Domingo 倒一杯清酒
整理我领口 这爱情的criminal （罪犯）
窗外的雨 让 气氛 与众不同
流泪的你 可 我 无动于衷
我开始认真 你当然输了
无论买庄闲 都注定是loser （输家）
牌桌的事 当然有变
感情的事 十赌九骗
起手都是五五开的嘛，喊对手开的大
看对家牌面几个花，也都是猜的嘛
把牌都摔了吗？最后认栽了吗？
你爱了吗？喊开了吗？挨了吗？
活该了吗？有种把牌都掰了吧
喊我上你又不跟
身后站那么多的人
今晚想扮猪吃老虎
结果被老虎吃的撑
嘴上还不认
明明一分都不剩
忘了自己挖的坑
还想躺着把钱挣了
永远不会让你猜到我的牌
我眼睁睁的看你出千作贱我的爱
只怪你太满了太懒了太慢了怠慢了
你的四张k大不过我的四张ace
哎 看我干杯 扔牌 他们全部红了眼
我梭哈 赢钱 站起来 再 道个别
take love take money you take shit （夺爱赢钱作孽）
** love ** money and ** you ** （封心锁爱再见）
Hook:
象一阵细雨洒落我心底，
那感觉如此神秘。
你不禁抬起头看着我，
而我并不露痕迹。
Verse2:
你赢的时候从没想过输
抓住我的心只是为了自己胡
做个倾家荡产这爱情的赌徒
坐上这张牌桌再没有回头路
可你赌的样子一点都不酷
好像有个女巫在你心里住
腐烂雪白的皮肤也变得恐怖
却忘不了你下注时那通红的眼珠
求你别再爱我了因为我已经死了
我连自己都不放过怎么会放过你呢
雨打湿了窗台 心冷的像深海
时钟全部停摆 定格你的失败
再说一声goodbye 再见我的挚爱
定格中的姿态 谁在换着底牌
我怎么可能给你机会呢
我那颗透明的心早就被你击碎了
那些爱过的 恨过的 赢过的 输过的 全部都灰飞烟灭
就让败过的 胜过的 恋过的 念过的 从此再互不相欠
直到最后的牌面你摘下了押下我多年前送的尾戒
我看着我最后的对手和情人却忽然间泪流满面
Hook:
象一阵细雨洒落我心底，
那感觉如此神秘。
你不禁抬起头看着我，
而我并不露痕迹。

AZ是90年代中期在纽约涌现的几位有思想,有文化的匪帮饶舌大将之一。他曾经与Nas合作，帮助他发表了那张旷世巨作《Illmatic》。不过AZ却从未得到过与他同辈的艺人，如Nas、Jay z那般的关注。相反，他的第一张专辑《Doe or Die》只是在评论界大受好评，在这样小小的短暂的成功之后，他的音乐生涯便堕入低谷。评论家和B-Boys都喜欢他，但他却始终隐没在Nas与Jay Z的巨大阴影之下。就说唱方面来说，他的精准巧妙饶舌以及让人印象深刻的FLOW，在纽约数不胜数的同类MC中都是独树一帜的。可惜AZ自从第一张专辑之后，一直到2000年才真正觉醒并签约MOTOWN发表新专辑。

《无情》（No Mercy）是格莱美获说唱歌手T.I.的第七张录音室专辑。在上月因违反保释条例而被判入狱11个月后，T.I.将原专辑名《解禁之王》（King Uncaged）改成了“No Mercy”。与自己的好友，同样来自美国南部的小韦恩（Lil Wayne）一样，这张专辑是由T.I.在狱中发行的。
专辑开场曲“欢迎来到世界”（ Welcome To The World）邀请了芝加哥说唱歌手坎耶?韦斯特以及克利夫兰说唱歌手顽童卡迪（Kid Cudi）担当客串嘉宾，而专辑的制作人为坎耶和曾经制作过Jay-Z专辑《蓝图3》中歌曲“Auto-Tune之死”（D.O.A.）的制作人NO I.D。
由Mitchelle’l与西南帮匪说唱歌手疤面煞星（Scarface）为专辑第二首歌曲“生活是如何改变”（ How Life Changed）献声。尽管Chrisette Michele Mitchelle的名字恐怕99%的蚁友闻所未闻，但这首由小C（Lil C）制作的歌曲似乎特地就是为T.I.的声线而打造的作品，T.I在音乐中回忆了曾经的生活－“15，16岁的时候，梦想着成为兜售可卡因的贩毒老大”。同时，Scarface的唱段依旧如大家预料的那样出色。
下一首歌曲“振作”（Get Back Up）在T.I.被审判期间就已经被发布，在这首由金牌嘻哈制作组合海王星（The Neptunes）制作的歌曲中，T.I.重申自己只不过是一个普通人，所以当然会犯下错误。而客串克里斯?布朗（Chris Brown）看起来良好地规划了音符结构，以至于听众有可能忽略了歌曲传达的信息。回到现实中，T.I.和克里斯?布朗已经为他们曾经糟糕的言行举动道歉过数次，我们都看到了，希望他们能够真的汲取教训，毕竟事实胜于雄辩。
回到“Get Back Up”，这首歌曲的主要的分散注意点在于这几句歌词：“我为曾经犯下的所有错误负责。如果你们都认为我是一个完人，那抱歉告诉你们，我是一个普通人。但是伙计们，不要再错误地理解我的生活。”
“Get Back Up”是一首令人鼓舞的歌曲，但是在这个时候，它又是显得那么的讽刺和尴尬。也许T.I.应该在第二次出狱后发行这首歌曲来复活自己的公众形象。
第四首歌曲“情不自禁”( I Can’t Help It) 中出现了亚特兰大说唱歌手洛克(Rocko)。身在狱中无法为这首歌带来更大的宣传实在是一件令人遗憾的事。不过无论怎样，两人都各自贡献了一段精彩的唱段。
歌曲“这就是她记下的”( That’s All She Wrote) 中，T.I.找来了底特律说唱歌手阿姆(Eminem)。尽管这首歌曲的节奏受到了褒贬不一的评价，但是当音乐响起的时候，各位蚁友一定会深陷其中。事实上，这首由卢克博士（Dr. Luke）操刀的曲子已经成为电台最新宠儿。
The Dream陪伴T.I.加入了歌曲“无情”（ No Mercy），这首由The Dream制作的歌曲中，除了T.I.，制作人特里奇?史都华 (Tricky Stewart )也奉献了自己的声音。这是一首可以让“南方之王”音乐生涯再次坐上弹射火箭的作品。 接下来，我们终于迎来了“大场面”（ Big Picture），T.I.在歌中意识到，自己得时刻远离各种愤恨者，不过歌词略显造作。
歌曲“脱”( Strip) 是又一首来自小C制作的佳作。R&B小天王Trey Songz为歌曲演绎了副歌，同时，亚特兰大说唱歌手Young Dro贡献了一个唱段。
当你明年见到T.I.的时候，给他“致敬”（Salute）吧。因为怎么看亚特兰大人这段歌词怎么觉得他是在内涵：“当你见着我在敬礼的时候，哥们儿你什么话也别说。”T.I.的意思是…
我们已经数不清近年来，已经有多少嘻哈歌曲取名为“赞”（ Amazing）了，好了，您就耐心点听下滑板少年菲董（Pharrlell）制作，T.I.演绎的版本。歌曲节奏酷极了，“滑板P的”的那句“我把你的脸色拉了下来”让人一听上了瘾。
“费用全我包”（ Everything On Me）是“随你要什么”（ Whatever You Like）的复制品。不过如果T.I.想要保持流行度的话，他最好想出一点别具心裁的内容，翻新曾经的热单可不是一个明智之举。“她说我的老二就像大猩猩金刚的那样”，有没有搞错，T.I？
由加拿大新星德雷克（Drake）客串的“开启瓶盖”（ Poppin Bottles）似乎又是一首矫情的歌曲。歌曲制作表现得不赖，但是说唱部分却显得不是那么的自然。
歌曲“躺下”（ Lay Me Down）中，我们发现了资深创作人，制作人Rico Love。歌曲取样了蜜西艾莉特（Missy Elliot）的歌曲“失控”（ Lose Control），而“失控”又是取样于Cybotron乐队的“清晰”（Clear）一曲。但是当听到T.I.唱起：“宝贝，继续，再坚持一下”这种充满性暗示的歌词时，大家不禁扑哧一笑。
说唱明星和流行明星在一起会产生怎样的化学反应？答案是：热门单曲！充满思想型的单曲“城堡之墙”（Castle Walls）中，克里斯汀?克里斯蒂娜（Christina Aguilera）的奇妙声线直接将歌曲提高了几个层次，当“每个人都认为我的生活华贵幸福时，但事实是，在城堡墙壁后，内心是如此空洞。”
纵观全局，T.《No Mercy》是张令人肃然起敬的专辑。不过也有些显而易见的缺陷－曲目表从第六首歌往后，所有的歌曲似乎都是在T.I. 第二次入狱前录制的，（除了“Castle Walls”）。也就是说，专辑带着各位听众经历了一段情感波动的过山车。就好像是，T.I.重新返回了《T.I. vs. TIP》的岁月，随后回归发行了一张从多种角度看待问题的专辑
