In a contemporary review, Cheo H. Coker at Rolling Stone called the album Shakur's best and said it was 'by and large a work of pain, anger and burning desperation — [it] is the first time 2Pac has taken the conflicting forces tugging at his psyche head-on'. Augustine of gangster rap' due to his ambivalence towards the behavior and nature of the gangster lifestyle. Me Against the World is a statement of intent, a note from the depths of America, and a fine, thoughtful LP.
Desperation follows raw anger on 'Fuck the World' and 'It Ain't Easy,' but most tracks confess frailties beneath the rapper's tough exterior.

Cole has cited Me Against the World as one of his favorite albums of all time, [40] Cole spoke about the album saying:.
So even being 10 years old, I still knew the importance of this album. I knew how ill the shit he was saying was, and how emotional he sounded. I was ten years old, but I could connect to the dude. It's like now, when I'm traveling on the road, a parent will bring their year-old kid to me and say, 'You're his favorite rapper. Some reviewers were less impressed.
