Holla At Me might be the hardest track ever

[Complexion]

​

And not in an over the top, cartoonish violence kind of way but in the pure fury and rage that saturated Pacs vocal tone as he was throwin darts at his foes in order to vent. Still crystal clear enunciation and wordplay tho.

Also props to Quik for polishing the beat to perfection and Nanci laced the hooks as the perfectly smooth counterpoint vocally:

This song would have been a generic G funk era track if it wasn't for pacs vocals.

You could say that about a lot of Pacs production as it ranged from mediocre to subpar to awesome as he didn't give a what in that respect as it was just about laying the track. MATW has some of the best beats in that sense but even Makaveli proves he could take something basic as hell and make it super dope.

I do wonder what we'd have heard if he was here during the Justice League area of lavish production and aural symphonies over which to tell tales of felonies though.

It is amazing how one artist can turn an average beat to heat and the other can do the flip due to the rhymes they kick. Voice is such a huge component and no one can come close to Pac when it comes to conveying emotion. That is what sets him apart as an MC.

Something something Hennessy and Enemies.

Don't get me wrong that type of production is a staple in my childhood but yeah most of those beats wasn't that good just properly mixed by Quik and the vocals of pac elevated the song.

Thats why I've said that without Quik there would be no Death Row as we know as he added so much behind the scenes.

Its amazing what good mixing and engineering can do because the OG and retail are night and day in that sense. One of Quiks greatest strengths is how he positions the vocals in a mix followed by all of his little flourishes and details that add so much depth.

I always liked this song from All Eyez On Me, nobody really gives it any light as much cause of the other bigger songs on this album.

[Vic Damone. Jr]

Curious, spittin' lyrics on the verge of furious
I'm addicted to currency, nikka, that's why we doin' this
I got shot up, I surprised the nikkas the way I got up
And then I hit the studio, it's time to blow the block up

 

[TripleAgent]

Not at all, but it's cool, and I'm not a Pac fan so that's a compliment.
