Me Against The World > 7 Day Theory

[intilectual recipricol]

7 Day Theory wins but theyre the two best albums in hip hop so I cant fault a nicca for gettin it wrong

 

[phatphuck]

personally its matw 7dt aeom

and agreed that thug life is underrated

 

[Drew Wonder]

yeah it's my favorite Pac album

though in general I find that East coast Pac fans like MATW the most while westcoast Pac fans like AEOM and 7 Day Theory the most. makes sense since MATW had east-coast sounding production(easy mo bee) and he wasn't shytting on NY

 

[bl2k8]

That's pretty much the consensus ain't it

 

[Still Benefited]

I respect that choice,I tend to go back and forth on 4 Pac albums bein my favorite depending on my mood.....I don't agree with your reasoning for not liking it...too much cursing?tough talk?dissing dre every other song which is a reach.....how can 7th Day theory be childish with songs like Hail Mary,White Manz World,Hold Ya Head,Blashemy,Krazy.....its like not liking MATW bcuz its too depressing,the mood fit the album pretty perfect to me.

 

[JuvenileHell]

Personally I like 7DT better but I won't argue against someone liking MAW more. Both are classic albums

 

[hiphopfanatic]

You want to know how great 2Pac was? He dropped three straight albums that can be considered classics.

7 day theory has a totally unique sound and could come out today remastered and still sound "new" its hip hops crown jewel

Four Thug Life was definitely a street classic

 

[Liquid]

Co sign... Me Against the world is Pac's best album

and Thug Life vol1 is his most underrated album... just as good as All Eyes on Me and 7 Day Theory

I agree. But, I always have a hesitation including group/side projects in these debates. I don't know why.

this is where you kinda have to seperate "best" from favorite....i feel like MATW should be the definitive 2pac album, if you're going to play any album of his for someone who's not familiar with his work as of yet, that should be it.

as far as favorite though...i would probably rank 7DT, and even AEOM ahead of it, just because there was venom doesn't mean it wasn't honest, the fact that he was going through so much and jumped right out the gate with it as soon as he had an outlet really makes that album powerful, the cursing, and the insults and all that only make it that much more concrete.

i understand what you mean about listening to it from a different perspective but i've always tried to listen to the music from the artists perspective where it calls for it, when you DO THAT, 7DT is much more of a real live account of what he was thinking/feeling, it's more organic.

A lot of the songs on MATW sound dated.

If I die tonight, Death around the corner is my favorite songs off of "MATW".

Pac was on a whole another level on 7 day theory, most of the songs still sound fresh. Classic.

at the OP mentioned how Pac was exessive with dissing Dre.

I thought I was the only one that found that to be annoying as well, dude was spamming his regular songs with disses and stupid shyt like "Bad boy killa" "random NYC rapper die slow!"

I hate when people say this such a generic response

 

[Anti-Anime]

MATW should be in everyone's top 5.

 

[SubLyminalz]

7 day theory is the goat album imo.
