q tip verse was dope imo..but didnt belong on that track...totally off subject regardless with a title called DRINK AWAY THE PAIN

Well I never was into drinking and since I was on my Polo, Hilfiger sh1t heavy in high school (during the time this song was out) I related to Tip's verse more.

Wow your stupid.
Concept of the song just hurdled over your head. Addiction is the theme not just drinking... I guess they literally would have to change the hook on his part to shop away the pain for fools like you.
I'm glad 90's rap wasn't so literal and played with concepts and allowed the listener to dig deeper assuming them smart enough to decipher songs but yet this feature continues to confuse clowns decades later. Dude wasnt alcoholic like the mobb hence he spoke what was a relevant addiction in his life.

It'll amaze you sometimes how even the simplest things, even when explained will fly over a nikka's head. And yet, they be the main ones tryin to criticize simple lyricism. nikkas got enough trouble figuring how the easy shyt, lord knows it doesn't need to become even more complicated.

thats what you need to be typin paragraphs about stupid
Q-tip isn't 50 cent he wasn't gonna make a song like high all the time when he doesn't smoke so he spoke on what was relevant to him. Apparently honesty is such a rare concept in rap that it's hard to grasp
It wasn't a story telling track them dudes was alcoholic tip wasn't they wanted a verse he gave them his take on addiction. Those that get it do those that don't don't...
