The Practice of Hell Ending is a companion artifact to the Mega Bog album End of Everything, also released by Mexican Summer. As the musical artist Mega Bog, she has released seven studio albums and toured across the United States and Europe. Erin maintains a dialogue with lyric and epic poetry whilst spinning a colloquial, freewheeling verse to explore our relationship with our loved ones and the voices inside us, moving toward a rooted, interpersonal, and inviting new language.Įrin Birgy is an esoteric rodeo child with an unmistakable laugh who was allegedly cursed upon conception.
From frenzied, dissected rodeos in the States to louche Grecian beaches, the collection explores how different places and landscapes facilitate and develop old questions around our relationship to both the natural world and each other. Part dusty mountain walk, part road trip, the poems set up camp at moments of both philosophical and emotional clarity and convulsions, always with Erin’s onrushing language offering a subversive, playful persona and guide. Me Against the World was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).The Practice of Hell Ending moves like a contemporary lyric epic through the many landscapes of Erin Birgy’s inner and outer worlds. At the 38th Grammy Awards, Me Against the World was nominated for Best Rap Album and "Dear Mama" was nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance.
While 2Pac was in prison, the album over-took Bruce Springsteen's Greatest Hits as the current best-selling album of the year in the United States. "Dear Mama" was released as the album's first single in February 1995 and would be the album's most successful single, topping the Hot Rap Singles chart, and peaking at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. Released while 2Pac was imprisoned, Me Against the World made an immediate impact on the charts, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200, holding the top spot for four consecutive weeks, and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The musical production on the album was considered by several music critics to be the best on any of his albums up to that point in his career. Lyrically, he intentionally tried to make the album more personal and reflective than his previous efforts. According to 2Pac, Me Against the World was made to show the hip hop audience his respect for the art form. Drawing lyrical inspiration from his impending prison sentence, troubles with the police, and poverty, the album is described as being 2Pac's most introspective album. Me Against the World is the third studio album by American rapper 2Pac, released on Maby Interscope Records.
