"Hit 'Em Up", a landmark diss track . . but the truth is far more sinister

[Mac Casper]

"Hit 'Em Up" was the most thing that Tupac had ever done, it wasn't just a diss track it was used by the powers that be to serve a sinister purpose.

This was a high-profiled video release in the MTV music video era and yet it wasn't available on the album. So the song didn't sell albums, at best it sold the single (it was on the "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" single release)

Here's an example of the meeting Tupac went through prior to it's release.


My sources will go unnamed but "Hit 'Em Up" was meant to instill a "cuckolding fear" in it's listeners . . in the hood people were getting killed over sleeping with another man's woman, and "Hit 'Em Up" brought light to the humiliation effect it has on the husband/boyfriend. "Hit 'Em Up" was planted in Tupac's music just as he was reaching a mainstream pop level of success . . so it was mostly meant to target white America as well

i dont understand....what is sinister about "bringing light to the humiliation of the husband boyfriend"

isnt it the opposite of sinister, instilling the fear of cheating and what not?

I think after that song nikkas started bragging about sleeping with other mens women, as something 2 b proud of.

But theyve been doing that in r&b for a while it just wasnt directed at a particular person.

Breh . . I see you're trying to be logical but instilling fear in anyway is never a positive thing. I can't fully explain to you their reasoning behind it, it's just one small piece of a larger agenda. The negativity of such a line as "That's why I fukk3d you're b!tch" is going to be set into your subconscious, the intention is for this to manifest in it's own way

I think the diss is overrated but I cant front on the way this thread is presnted
