94-95 Bone was bigger than Pac. 96/97 you could say they were on par or Pac was a bit bigger. Cats saying no one gave a shyt after AOW, Resurrection was highly anticipated and I thought it was a step back in the harder direction they strayed from on AOW. That ecstasy song was still fairly big.
bone was way bigger than pac at one point.....espcially when thuggish ruggish and for the love of money came out

Pac was a "thug" for thrills, not for reals. Can't take that clown serious. Especially because he ended in the casket because of his bipolar behaviour. He was basically chiraq status in the 90s with his ignorant and childish antics, spitting on cameramen and walking like an idiot in the courtroom.

Now compare him to real street cats like M.O.P. They're low key. They're mature. They do or did their work, but don't brag about it. And they don't come off as "superthugs" with a silly bandana on their head.

Tupac Shakur was an actor, "2PAC" was his show.

Neg me.
:wow:

:dahell: Hell No

The Bone version is completely better.

The original is :camby:

Glad U-Neek cleaned up the original beat up as well.

You trippin,everything about the OG is better,besides the fact the rest of Bone Thugs aint on it.....Pacs flow don't even really match the album version,after hearing the OG you understand "That's why he was rapping like that:ohhh:"....that beat on some sinister mob shyt:blessed:

Let's compare facts
Creeping on ah come up went 2x platinum in December of 1995
E.1999 eternal went 4x platinum in July of 1996

Now 2pacs turn
2pacalypse went gold April of 1995
And strictly 4 my nikkaz was certified platinum in April of 1995 as well
December of 1995 me against the world was certified 2x platinum
April of 1996 all eyes on me was certified 5 x's platinum

So according to the stats tupac sold more records then bone thugs during there peak of success

Bone thugs had a good run from 94-97 before they fell off.


im not a number-cruncher at all but :usure:

bone thugs was double plat when eazy was still alive, handing them their plaques on the box. 2pac was still a gold artist.

your numbers are off. i dont know where you got your info from.

lol @ '94-97. bone was huge thru 2000. ressurrection went plat in 2 weeks without media hype. and they got hits & plaques everytime they dropped an album with actual promotion afterwards, all the way thru 2008, and they could get a plaque today if they were on a major.

Thug love is better, than big's notorious thug verse because pac stayed within his element, and skill set.

Been sayin this shyt for years. Not only this. But it legitimately pisses me off when nikkas try to say he used the "Bone Flow" on that shyt. nikka didn't spit double time or harmonize or nothin. There was literally zero traces of Bone's flow on that track. To add insult to injury Biggie acted like it was some kind of victory lap after he recorded that simple ass flow. Sayin "I'm the greatest."

1.but it never was rape. he went down for "forcibly touching the buttocks "....no penetration . which i could believe ...but is only sexual harassment at best.

plus nikki d gave an account of pac where she said he exposed him self......but nothing about violently raping women or herself.......plus michele never said anything about him......

:yeshrug:





2.he already had thug life album out though. maybe he turned his back on being 75% consious/blackpanther/militant but i always saw that he was just talking about the progression of his life.

he still had songs like "wonda why they calll u bytch" and "white manz world."

he had songs with methodman on aeom....so it wasn't a complete e vs w beef imo. he flew big daddy kane out to west and they did songs together n chilled.

:yeshrug:



He also had Black Moon living in his house.

Buckshot Recalls Recording With Tupac Shakur On One Nation
DX: How did that go?

Buckshot: I’m glad they’re releasing a lot of footage from that Tupac [session]…I’m talking about more footage than the one everyone kept seeing. Now you see us coming out of the limo. Tupac was like, “fukk the luggage, just leave that shyt in the car.” We go right into the studio. Tupac linked up with us because Smif-N-Wessun had sent him “Hold Ya Head Up” shouts out. Pac felt like New York people wasn’t really fukking with him, and Tek and Steele was like, they had fukked with him. So he said, “When I get out, I want to fukk with the dudes who fukk with me.” Soon as he came home, soon as he got out, he got to Cali. All that shyt that happened, he came home, he was fresh off of All Eyez On Me and everything was still rolling and he said I want to do my project, the One Nation album. That was going to have all of us on it.

[He said,] “I’m going to call up everybody.” It was going to be like 50 states. “I’ll be like the President…I want to be the individual that put it all together.” We’ve got New York, Texas, L.A. We had the Luniz on there, nobody even know the Luniz was on there, that made that record “I Got 5 On It.” We had Bone Thugs-n-Harmony on there. Since there was a few people on that album that we was all going to be one movement. I mean, it was going to be crazy. If you think about the power that ‘Pac had at that time, just imagine if his next movement was everybody coming as one nation. Something was, you know what I mean?

okay breh but u still aint showed shyt.

u a good poster when it comes to history of hip hop....but there are transcripts i can pull too.

showing a set up.

plus there is no perfect hip hop person or human literally ....everyone has a contradiction i could point out...maybe small or big.

but if there is a perfect hip hop CULTURALLY mc please recommend him.


Pac was not setup in ny..he was not setup for the shooting by badboy and that whole badboy is responsible..or big is the kony.
Badnoy were innocent in the situation and vehemently against the completely fabricated work.
pac created with biggie is the kony and setup me up lie.
Pac's whole premise of biggie should be able to stop me from being hurt after originally and then repicking back up the accusation big set him up.
Once he saw the emotional gateway response was gaining drawing traction with noon gateway marketed MTV style rap fans.
His whole premise was all fabricated and a deflection draw based ploy of sensationalism.
To cover up what he was negligent about.
Plus, when confronted with said negligence in his own self admittal in police custody that he was negligent.
Then, trying to deflect like his negligence was not that big of a deal and then play it like what he was negligent for.
Was not that big of a deal, plus other fukkery that you should know that occurred and you can tell us if you know what happened factually in the room and in pac's statement when he was held the first time.


I know why there are no Pac clone war stans here in full bloom.
I been attacked and squelched all that over processed emotional bullshyt with the facts.
Y'all lucky this community was compromised in full of its content back on a number of occasions..or, a lot of this shyt would be brought up and other members with the real info, and facts.
Would still be here in real numbers to smash on y'all over emotional Pac clone war stans.
It's okay, tho.
I can handle it all on my own, tho

If he would have lived he would have destroyed the draw of bcc, busts and anyone who aligned with him cultural.
Splintering raps draws and culturally destroying the ability for key cultural respected to be believed.
You, guys were duped by this dude and duped by a number of artist marketed to you.
During and in the gateway marketing era of mainstream rap.

Bro, when he was "walking like an idiot in the courtroom", he was just aquitted of shooting 2 off-duty cops.


I wonder how YOU would walk out of a courtroom after that.

Oh wait...:ohhh:
big d1ck walk for sure/just beat trial walk/holy fukk i'm not going to jail walk/omg p*ssy walk

etc. If you've never beat trial you simply don't know the feeling

didn't most of pac's sales come after his death?
