One of Tupac's albums was called "me against the world" the reason to the title of this is because Tupac was in a struggle with his musical career and felt no one was there to help him he had rivals of his music, his main one being The Notorious B.I.G. in the song "me against the world" one of his lyrics are "i aint got nuttin to lose its just me against the world" this is showing that Tupac doesn't want to do anything other than to make music. Tupac's first album he made was called "out on bail" the reason behind this is because he had been arrested and got released on bail. Tupacs full name is Tupac Shakur he was born on June 16th 1971, he was raised in East Harlem New York and tragically died in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 13, 1996(aged 25) How Tupac died: On September 7, 1996, at approximately 11:15 pm, Tupac Shakur was struck by four of twelve or thirteen shots fired from one vehicle to the next in the middle of the street, with bullets hitting him in the chest, the pelvis, and his right hand and thigh.

Notorious B.I.G aka Biggie Smalls One of The Notorious B.I.G albums was called life after death there was a part on and a part 2, the reason they called it this is because The Notorious B.I.G was shot four times in the chest in a drive by shooting pronounced dead at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. The album sold 690,000 copies in its first week and was certified Diamond three years later. This is a great inspiration for people who listen to his music because even know he was shot down and dead they used his album as a memory for him. The Notorious B.I.G done many songs in these 2 albums one of them being “kick in the door” The track "Kick In The Door" is directed at Nas, Jeru the Damaja, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah and even the track's producer DJ Premier. The subliminal messages had been speculated by listeners and confirmed by artists on several occasions, including XXL Magazine's April 2003 edition "The Making of: Life After Death". A lot of The Notorious B.I.G’s songs are about violence and thug life that he had to go through. He talks about from when he was a child through to his adolescent age to his current age before he died.
