The album also received much critical praise for its deep and introspective lyrics, with many calling it his best album yet. It spawned three singles - 'Dear Mama', 'So Many Tears' and 'Temptations'. Released while he was incarcerated, Me Against the World was a smash hit, debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 and staying there for four weeks in a row (in fact, 2Pac became the first artist to have a #1 album released while they were in prison), and by the end of '95 it had gone double platinum. That said, he still shows his thug side on a few tracks and kicks a few jams for the ladies. Featuring production that is smoother and more G-Funk influenced than his previous two albums, Me Against the World finds 2Pac at his most introspective and emotional yet as he reflects on his life up to that point, ponders his future, and covers important aspects and issues such as his growing status as a popular and controversial figure, his legal issues, and women (especially his mother).
