Can someone explain the greatness of Hit Em Up? Because I'm not seeing it...

[larryshogunz]

Talking about a mans sickle cell is some bullshyt...

This is a prime example of why it was soo hard as a diss track. shyt went straight in, and didnt hold anything back. You understood what he was saying, and WHO he was saying it to. No subliminals, singing, or light jabs. Just pure emotion. Pac attacked the target and everyone he run with (by name also).

If you feel this way about Hit Em Up, your probably really disappointed in the "diss tracks" in this current era.

 

[Champ_KW]

honestly

the shock at the time of its release is what really made it pop

the undertone between big and pac bubbled for quite a while prior to this

the fact it had a video really pushed it over the top

and the timing 2pac just started the rumor he fukked faith then BOOM video drops and has the lyrics he fukked his wife

now this is back in the 90's i remember myself and others were like OHHHH shyt HE MADE A VIDEO!?!?!?! and he parodied everyone

and it was BLATANT before this even videos were kinda subliminal with the exception of 3rd base pop goes the weasel but vanilla ice wasnt exactly a respectable/credible MC lol

it was simply the perfect time more than anything as the track by itself is really nothing to brag about lyrically if anything the ad libs are far more potent then the bars llol

but pac capitaslized maybe even planned/set this up perfectly


because the song is overall kinda mehh

hell drop a gem on'em is INSANELY better than this and was overlooked massively in comparrison(still is)

hit'em up is definitely one of the most overrated diss tracks ever along with ripper strikes back and ether

.....you're probably one of those cats that think fake memes was essential to the Drake/Meek beef, saw with your own two eyes Prodigy in a MJ jacket that every kid had/wanted and let Jay tell you he "was a ballerina".....and yet real pics of this broad high and drunk with Pac, numerous people saying they saw her all on his lap, and even this trollops own story changing everytime she recounts the story, leads you to place this in the "rumor" category????

tell @premier58 to keep his mouth closed

fukk AROUND & GET TOSSED UP BY THE fukkIN OUTLAWZ

 

[Just Jimmy]

THATS WHY I fukkED YO bytch YOU FAT MOTHERfukkER!!!
It was no slick talking, it was in your face nikka let's get it on type shyt and in an era where nikkas were really getting shot. By putting that song out Pac basically said "somebody gotta die now." Sad that that's what actually happened but it was the level of audacity and fearlessness and not giving a fukk, Pac empowered nikkas for better or for worse to not be afraid to say what they felt

RIP Pac
RIP BIG

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

most overrated diss song in hip hop

 

[shopthatwrecks]

All I hear is a bunch of wolf tickets, empty threats and a bunch of inappropriate shyt talking. And possibly lying about boning Faith. He basically sealed his own fate. I respect Pac, but I have never gotten the reverance for this song. Never. Great diss tracks are, The bridge is over, No vaseline, Dollahs and Sense etc...not Hit em Up.

hit em up and ether the most overrated disses of all time imo..



pac was a real live hoe for that..imo...nikka ya potna and the heavyweight champion of the world tell u bout the nikkas u fukkin with ...

u not listenin 2 them....u get hit with a rape case and a attemtped robbery from the same nikkas..

he told ya muhfukkin ass...

but its biggie fought..

fast forward vegas...nikka get killed for being a captain save a hoe

been sayin this whole time pac lived like bishop til his final days..

biggie n mike was q n raheem tryin 2 keep him from fukkin with blizzard...

he show as hell didnt have nobody in his here to stay out that piru shyt...

 

[shopthatwrecks]

While it was as shocking and bold as hell, whose career did he derail with it?

nobodies...biggie ate..

n said if fay had twins she prolly have 2 pacs..get it..tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupac

 

[Jacaveli The Don]

While it was as shocking and bold as hell, whose career did he derail with it?

Uh, he derailed Biggie's LIFE after that song.

That's like someone coming up to your face and saying fukk you, your family, your friends and everyone who know's you and you walk away and say "I won"

There was literally NO coming back from "Hit 'Em Up" and EVERYONE mentioned on the song knew it. That's why they never said shyt

@shopthatwrecks I've got a lot of respect for you OG, but how is it not a knockout if Biggie SAYS if his wife has twins, she would have 2Pac's

Even on a lyrical level, that shyt makes no sense apart from Biggie admitting that 'Pac fukked Faith

 

[Deucage]

You getting killed in this thread my dude.
Just questioning Hit em up was an instant

 

[CourtesyFlush]

Pac fukked up by letting Outlawz get on the track

 

[the cac mamba]

lets be dead honest about this song:

after 'you claim to be a playa, but i fukked your wife", it falls the fukk off

 

[FS4LFE]

Rep, dap, 5 star.

 

[FS4LFE]

Wait, nikkas really sit through Hit Em Up long enough to hear the Outlawz part?

I deadass didn't know them nikkas were on Hit Em Up until I found myself not skipping after Pac's verse a few months ago.
