his wordplay is ridiculous; he still has it. worthless beef though b/c it's not anyone in his genre. HOWEVER, mariah is a big name in the industry. if he can shut her down, the publicity can only go up.
Come on, man, everyone knows that those 566,000 copies were all sold to 15-year olds that watched MTV!
ya dude has dug himself in a hole but won't quit. you gotta atleast know about California Love..that was released not too long before his death. If you listened to rap, you knew about Tupac. Period. List of songs that I listened to like a madman- I Ain't Mad At Cha Dear Mama Thugz Mansion Hit em up I Get Around Keep Ya Head Up Picture Me Rolling To Live in Die in LA Ambitionz Az a Ridah Smile 2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted Hailmary When Thugs Cry Pain Thug Love How Do You Want It All Eyez on Me When We Ride On Our Enemies Toss it Up Do For Love Bury Me A G Only God Can Judge Me Me and My Girlfriend Changes Until the End of Time And I'm 100 % sure that I'm leaving numerous classics out !
How could I forget about Are U Still Down feat Jon B ? This thread made me remember some of my fav songs of all-time.
Nobody's ever killed Mariah like this dude killed Mariah back in the day (there's more of him on youtube) : <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/G7oGx2dImE8&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/G7oGx2dImE8&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Selena, she was only known after her death. I mean, forget all her numerous awards, Grammys and millions of adoring tejano fans, and the general bump up in recognition after any celebrity death. I wasn't around that demographic of people to "see it for myself". And those people dont count anyway, so therefore she almost ceased to even exist.
2pac is my favorite rapper of all time, but people can have different opinions. but just play a pac song, and you can feel the passion in every verse, regardless if it's a tribute to his mama or a diss song. 99% of rappers can't do the same, despite better lyrics or word play or flow. 2pac/ice cube all were niiiice w/ the mic. no need to put one above the other though. what i really wish is for rap to be what it once was. what we have today is a bunch of garbage primarily. even the new jay-z materials are pretty much sub-standard.
Eminem killed jay z in renegade back in 2002 iirc, even NaS metioned it in ether where he killed jay z. renegade <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Gdz3StIpErw&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Gdz3StIpErw&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> ether <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0ePQKD9iBfU&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0ePQKD9iBfU&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Hillel Slovak was popular when he died as a musician, but I didn't expect the masses to be upset about it. Tupac's death being such BIG news to the MTV media may have caused BIGGIE'S death, afterall. Gangsta rap FTL!
I've got a soft spot for Chi Ali. He had tons of potential, if only he didn't kill his ex-girlfriend's brother.
Well he will have to settle with his underground, underground, underground $paycheck$ and hope his conspiracy theory flows will crack the main stream ears or radio play if that. Wu tang all the way.
