How is Drop a Gem not the G.O.A.T. diss track?

[smokeurobinson]

Dropped way before he died.

The debut of Drop A Gem was on Future Flavers.....Pete Rock and Marly Marl kept stressing to get your tapedecks ready. Pac was still alive that Sunday night. Its was maybe a few weeks later when he got killed.


Too me it was the first shot. It felt like there was more to come but Pac died soon after and things just changed. The same with Biggie....The mood in the air at the time was that something bigger was brewing from everyone Pac called out on Hit Em Up but Pac dying changed things around.




But Mobb Deep putting it on the album, after the fact was cold as fukk


It was as if they were saying 'fukk you' to his death.

I can't respect a rapper that talks shyt on wax then gets thrown under cars by Keith Murray, knocked out several times, and got exposed for dancing in The Nutcracker ballet recital

 

[FreshAIG]

It's a much better record than a diss. It's great great song, it's a good diss, but it's kinda just full of empty threats. It's funny though. Great diss records are more hard hitting (with facts) and personal imo.

 

[FreshAIG]

It's probably the third best Pac diss. The best is clearly King Sun's diss. And he never said Pac's name either. But it was full of more facts and less about empty threats.

 

[Trajan]

Nobody takes sub 5 foot men serious

Basically. Good disses have to either be factual or funny.

Mobb deep are studio gangsters. Empty tough guy talk is lame. Anyone can pop shyt in the studio. It's more potent when you know the person is about that action.


However, this

Mobb Deep should thank Pac.

Pac dissing them, probably got them more recognition than their biggest hit.

Also, the whole days are numbered line would be dope if they were the ones who caused the death of Pac. Since they didn't, that just a basic throwaway diss line, like the other empty threats Prodigy made towards Jay.

The importance of this track is manufactured mostly by the internet, just like Reasonable Doubt's impact in 96, Pac's superior lyrical abilities or Big L's potential for greatness.

Naming him was the easy way to go about it. They chose a much more difficult path to execute. And everyone knew it was about Pac. Except Rosenberg apparently.

I don't know about Rosenberg right. But that's a piss poor excuse for a "diss". Word to Drake

 

[DrHackenbush]

shyt was scientific..In the Long run was a dope diss track too

Get chopped up grade A beef, somethin delicious

The track was vicious as fukk.

Only dumbed down idiots would dislike it.

it's overlooked because it came out after Pac passed, but it's one of the best IMO

"when grown folk talk nicca close yo mouth" >

all pac needed to do was spit a phrase or a couple of syllables and prodigy was done.

 

[pointproven214]

and lyrically it was ass imo
