[Cooper]

uteot and rusd dont really have themes so much as MATW etc

 

[madcower3]

what would u say the theme of MATW is then

 

[Cooper]

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. These tracks -- most notably "So Many Tears," "Lord Knows," and "Death Around the Corner" -- are all the more powerful in hindsight with the chilling knowledge that he was right. Even romance takes on a new meaning as an escape from the hellish pressure of everyday life ("Temptations," "Can U Get Away"), and when that's not available, getting high or drunk is almost a necessity. He longs for the innocence of childhood ("Young Niggaz," "Old School"), and remembers how quickly it disappeared, yet he still pays loving, clear-eyed tribute to his drug-addicted mother on the touching "Dear Mama." Overall, Me Against the World paints a bleak, nihilistic picture, but there's such an honest, self-revealing quality to it that it can't help conveying a certain hope simply through its humanity.

choose Better Dayz and pick Mama's just a little girl, They Don't Give a Fuck about us & Better Dayz :thumb:
and choose Makaveli and pick: White man'z world, Krazy, Blasphemy or Hold ya head..
the theme of the first is simple: looking for better dayz. the second theme could be the fact that he was crussified (the cover) by the media/ bad media attention and in the three songs he shows his thoughts about the world, that's bad too, and in blasphemy he brings religion to nowadays and to the ghetto..
I hope that i helped ya a little bit

a couple cd's and a few thousand people at tb.

Whatever you do, do not pick a posthumous release - unless it's the 7 Day Theory - as those CDs are less likely to have a theme which is consistant & readily identifiable imo.

yea refernce me......me i tell u

 

[Hellrazor1978]

you should do either MATW or AEOM.

7 Day Theory is his best album but it wasnt an album based around a theme like the two above albums were.
