They try to ban this song
They don't wanna play my song, but they wanna play Fat Boy all goddamn day
then beat drop, crowd go crazy, Pac bouncing around and then starts with that god energy
the power in his voice to
It was never supposed to be a technical songEh. It's definitely epic. But technically lacking.
Pac had a great live voice, tho.
And you oversold the crowd
I meant the performance. The song is greatIt was never supposed to be a technical song
if you wanna hear a layered Pac diss song, listen to Against All Odds
Who was banning Hit Em Up? I saw it numerous times on the hip hop video show down here. I imagine it got played on the radio down here. There were a couple of hip hop radio shows here back then.
BET and MTV didn't play it and many Clear Channel radio stations didn't play it. Arista blackballed it. That's a big reason why the "How Do U Want It" single sold so much even tho everybody had the album ("Hit Em Up" was the B-Side).
I only saw the video months after it dropped after my neighbor let me borrow a VHS copy of a Luke's Peep Show episode that aired Hit Em Up. Ironically, that episode also had Puffy hosting with guest Ray Lewis at the beach and gals doin things with whip cream & toys. I still remember that DJ Polo video "Freak of the Week" with Ron Jeremy in was also on there
