Casual "That's How It Is"

Casual was third out the gate (following Del tha Funkee Homosapien and Souls of Mischief) from the Hieroglyphics crew, the undisputed kings of the Oakland underground scene. Casual's stature suggests that he may be the crew's bodyguard, until the mic is in his hand and the MC commences his verbal onslaught. Anything but casual in the sound booth, the gifted freestyler, known for his fierce battle tactics, dropped the moody Fear Itself in 1994 to a chorus of cheers from the underground set. Cas scored underground hits with "Didn't Mean To" and "That's How It Is," but overall, the Hiero sound takes an edgy, soulful turn on Fear. The album goes from playful to hyper-psychedelic with tracks like the brawling "Chained Minds."

This song > Tupacs whole catalog

I can't speak for that other guy, but I can tell you that Tupac has done plenty to me. He has pissed me off by being a mediocre pop cuntrag, who made 98% shit songs, was largely responsible for the Thug Life junk that killed rap, was an invented small town acting school graduate who decided AFTER finding success to become a gangster, glamorize it and encourage kids to copy him, poor rapper, and is worshipped as a god simply because he died.

Dudes are too cowardly to admit it. I'm not.

Been saying that for YEARS!!!!!

Not here to compare 2PAC to Casual, but anyone saying 2Pac was a poor rapper is talking out their ass, like him or hate him. And it weren't Thug life that killed rap, Junior Mafia did more damage than them. What killed rap was artists signing up to major record labels that controlled their releases and recordings, instead of sticking to independent labels.
