I'm a 17 year old mc from bk looking for some honest opinions on my bars tryna build a fan base of people that appreciate lyricism thanks ffor whoever checcs my page
If BIG didnt die I coulda seen him and Jigga as the most powerful rap duo ever! I mean just listen to how they fade and blend perfectly with eachothers verses. RIP Notorious
@Kiburedomasuta fuckiinnn truuuuth! OLD jay-z tho.. then ya gotta remind yourself.. ya think big would have transformed into this auto tuned out world?
@daggakid90 i think most of the people sayin that are people STUCK in the 90s or just young people who never got to say what side they take before.lol
Word, true but they reminisce on days of real rap, grimy lyrics, hard beats and hard times. Not the watered down version of rap that is out now. They are calling these new dudes in 2012 Generation Gay...its all gay now, the people, the music, the style...
@Moyabeast there isnt just one meaning to a song its based on the listener. i mean sure the artist has his meaning for the song but its like colors the blue i see might be a different blue then what you see.
@Budsmokerhaha true that but this entire album is a classic. its a shame jay z stopped trying and making good shit like this and just went to biting biggie's lines to make up the rest of his career.
@4Dodi ha. i never would have heard this song if not for youtube, piratebay and what not, and even though jay was big when i was a kid and i thought he was all right, i never would have been a fan.
It's too bad Big got murdered not long after this cuz him and Jay would've come up with a even tighter colab.....I hated the chorus on this one and I hated the Biggie ad-libs underneath Jay's last verse...it didn't fit Jay's style imo.
Eveybody shut the fuck up about "oh no, why is there different music coming out"...If you wanna go back to the 90's throw yo fuckn cell phones, GPS, iPods/iPads, laptops, and all other present day shit you can't live w/out away and go pick up your fuckn BEEPER. Just enjoy listening to older music and shut the fuck up cuz if we kept listening to the same shit from back then you would be sick of it...AND YEAH I SAID IT BITCH!
think track shows big was better at this point it would have been good to see big jayz go for the newyork crown cus now in 2012 nas didn't bang out the hits that jay did jay kept his career mainstream but i know for a FACT biggie would have been able to keep up with jayz by now big probaly would be worth as much as jay
This was Jay-Z's first album and your saying he was in the Illuminati since he started his own record company with barely any money? Keep going on with that. And this was when he was apparently, at his finest. Keep spouting that nonsense. Until I actually see legit proof of this Illuminati I won't believe it. Music videos or lyrics isn't going to convince me.
yea this is what i have always thought...but if you listen closely he could be saying "two pops" and this would make sense as well meaning two diff. fathers which is a nice play on words considering faith was BIGs wife and there was a lot of heat on her for having "potentially" cheated with 2pac....."Get it two pops"
DIS SHIT GANGSTA!!!!!!! HATE 2 SAY IT BUT, I WOULDN'T WANT 2PAC NOWHERE NEAR THAT STUDIO THE NITE THEY RECORDED THIS!!!!! THIS WAS EAST COAST HEAT!!! 2PAC CAN TELL STORIES BUT DAMN.... THAT BACK & FORTH ON THIS JOINT IS RIDICULOUS!!
@MegaRandy18 ye pacs overated lyrically i agree but big an jay cudnt handle nigga his raw passion destroyed these niggas.. plus hes bigger then rap hes the BEST OVERALL ARTIST these niggas are nice emcees pacs bigger then rap..
@dartox54 its not less effort its just emeienm and jay arnt in a struggle enviroment anymore you cant paint a picture of somthign you dont see everyday anymore if jay-z rapped about the hood we would call him fake
@dartox54 Honest to goodness, I think that Pac was getting steadily better up to the point of his death. By mixing his style with the Boot Camp Clik, Busta, and Kane via the One Nation Project, he was spicing up his flow, and it's great to see his universal chemistry with the artists on their collabos. Also, I loved the alliteration on "If I Should Die 2Nite" from "Me Against the World". "Heartz of Men" was so solid a song to me as it had that pure MC stance mixed with West flair.
This is one of my all time best Jay-z tracks, he goes hard on this one R.I.P. Biggie. See you when i get there. Keep it hot.Blazzin!!!!! Real respect Real.
@dartox54 haha yeps totally agree if ur an artist who cant do multis put the mic down already. I was jus sayin that using mockingbird of Em's decline in lyricism was a bad example cuz of the content. Not sayin powerful songs cant have multis, just sayin most personal songs that come from the artist's heart are better without multis. Traces of the old Eminem come here and there, but it seems like he'll never come back, ehh all artists grow out and become somethin else.
Watch some of the house of blues performances from 2pac, he disses biggie and talks about it on stage. I think it was Americaz most wanted performance where he dissed him about the Faith thing. So search "Americaz most wanted house of blues 2pac"
@Eight1Eighty2 im trying to understand the context of this line, were him and faith over by this time? is he actually admitting that pac fucked faith?
It was a turbulent relationship off and on, both cheated a lot supposedly. Biggie saying that line in this song is like him telling everyone Faith fucked 2pac and she is slut, basically just spreading her dirty laundry.
2pac admitted to fucking her. Just search on youtube his house of Blues Americaz most wanted performance, the extended 9 minute version, he rips Biggie on stage. Big and Faith were officially divorced in 1997, I think.
@dartox54 huh? did you not read my comment correctly? I used black star as an example of rap that has depth and lyrically inclined, but i pointed out it's not personal struggle type of depth. When it comes to depth like that, songs like "Dear Mama" would be a perfect example, internal rhyme schemes and all that takes away from the song. Mockingbird with a bunch of internal rhyme schemes would of been a horrible idea.
@dartox54 actually i dont agree with you there. When it comes to personal struggles you are tryin to convey and the pain and emotion you feel, complex lyricism and only in this circumstance, is not needed and discouraged to me. I'm talkin about personal depth, yes there is depth songs that are super lyrical, my fav is all of black star's album. When it comes to personal depth though conveying true pain and conviction from the heart, complex lyricism can take away from it.
@ashbash986 I dont get it either. I think he was just having fun with the rumors

@dartox54 haha yeps totally agree if ur an artist who cant do multis put the mic down already. I was jus sayin that using mockingbird of Em's decline in lyricism was a bad example cuz of the content. Not sayin powerful songs cant have multis, just sayin most personal songs that come from the artist's heart are better without multis. Traces of the old Eminem come here and there, but it seems like he'll never come back, ehh all artists grow out and become somethin else.

@seanishimself
He says "if Faith had twins she'd probably have TWO Pac's". Meaning she would have Two kids (twins) from 2pac.
When he says.."Get it, two pacs". He is saying both Two pacs (twins) and 2pac's as in his kids.

He's Dissing Faith Evans for cheating on him with 2pac. It's kind of like calling her a slut.

@Prytex11
Watch some of the house of blues performances from 2pac, he disses biggie and talks about it on stage. I think it was Americaz most wanted performance where he dissed him about the Faith thing. So search "Americaz most wanted house of blues 2pac"

@Eight1Eighty2 im trying to understand the context of this line, were him and faith over by this time? is he actually admitting that pac fucked faith?

@FMAN13
It was a turbulent relationship off and on, both cheated a lot supposedly. Biggie saying that line in this song is like him telling everyone Faith fucked 2pac and she is slut, basically just spreading her dirty laundry.

@FMAN13
2pac admitted to fucking her. Just search on youtube his house of Blues Americaz most wanted performance, the extended 9 minute version, he rips Biggie on stage. Big and Faith were officially divorced in 1997, I think.

@dartox54 huh? did you not read my comment correctly? I used black star as an example of rap that has depth and lyrically inclined, but i pointed out it's not personal struggle type of depth. When it comes to depth like that, songs like "Dear Mama" would be a perfect example, internal rhyme schemes and all that takes away from the song. Mockingbird with a bunch of internal rhyme schemes would of been a horrible idea.

@dartox54 actually i dont agree with you there. When it comes to personal struggles you are tryin to convey and the pain and emotion you feel, complex lyricism and only in this circumstance, is not needed and discouraged to me. I'm talkin about personal depth, yes there is depth songs that are super lyrical, my fav is all of black star's album. When it comes to personal depth though conveying true pain and conviction from the heart, complex lyricism can take away from it.
