I know most of you..especially the elder blades of the city probably dont have a high opinion of him. I never did myself I always regaurded him as some dumb street thug talking about some stupd bullshit in his music. But i'm about two months when I was high I really started listening to his music with an unbiased viewpoint and now i'm hooked. I live,was born & raised in NYC. And I started seeing how deep his lyrics really were. And the beats are great whle baked. Listening to him now.
I agree, I at once blew him off as another gangster rapper. But then I had a roommate who listened to NOTHING but him. It wasn't the optimum of conditions, but when you really listen to his lyrics many of his songs have some very powerful messages. I am all down for any type of music that carries a positive message, and is from the heart. He sure knew how to do that, it's a shame that money/music business politics got him killed, he helped change the face of his genre of music ~ when people were writing lyrics about violence & hate, he certainly stood out in his own way. xo~
LoL man..simply amazing I thought most of the blades here were open-minded. Well I used to think the same way as you..but then I stopped listening to the muisc and I really HEARD it. Makes a lot more sense to me. And no offense or anything...but by your narrow remarks you seem like a typical closed-minded distressed white boy (i'm white too..besides the point) I'm born & raised on the streets of NYC..whole different mentality here. Ya talk tuff about people like him online..but if you were too see them in the street..i'd bet a good amount you'd just put your head down and keep walking. DL a few songs by him..get blazed and listen up..maybe it'll make some sense to you. Peace, NYC represent!
stevieponiczz i deleted the previous post. this poster had been forewarned with a previous issue. that type of disrespect is not tolerated here... sorry you had to see that! xo~
Hey stevieponiczz, I hope that post wasn't directed at me. It looks like it was in response to a deleted post, but I wanted to be sure. In case it was, I'm not narrow minded, I simply think Biggy is far more talented. Throughout their whole beef Biggy seemed to have the upper hand as well. Tupac had a song saying he fucked Biggy's wife, while Biggy had a song restating the fact that he shot him five times. That's hardcore.
I consider Tupac the GOAT, glad you actually started listening to him his music is great. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsbHerIlupM"]Tupac - Dopefiend's Diner[/ame] Real Emotion, RIP Pac.
