Brenda's got a baby, while a great song has the most CHEESIEST fukking hook

BRENNNNNDAAAAA, BRENDA, BRENDA, BRENNNNDAAAAAA

Did you know that there's actually still people to this die that live by that . . like "I was on the vocals for "Brenda's Got a Baby" . . "Oh you want me on your song? $500"

Tupac is one of the greatest songwriters ever in music. Far beyond hip-hop or "rapping", we're talking songmaking here

he's on some legendary hooks but he seemed to of put others on a lot of his hooks, for his most commercial efforts and that's all a part of song production and musical vision. He did reference vocals for a lot of those choruses and those songs wouldn't be the same without the departure in voice

Fukk a hook. Stop overanalyzing sh!t. Appreciate the music for what it's worth. "Gang Starr was azz at the hooks. They couldn't do a hook that didn't involve scratching the record?!?!?1?"

Music, on some level, is meant to be analyzed

Further analysis of his creative process -

"Hail Mary" is essentially "Ambitionz Az A Ridah 2"

"Temptations" is essentially precursor to "How Do U Want It" - :"Toss It Up" is essentially "How Do U Want It 2" (even the disses on the last verse) . . He even has a song called "Tongue Kissin'" which is unreleased and would've been a likely 1997 single
