Mobb Deep should thank Pac.

Pac dissing them, probably got them more recognition than their biggest hit.
It definitely got them recognition...but it wasn't like he was dissing them on California Love :pachaha:
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.
:why:
So why even rap then?
Why not just kill him and confess? That would have been the ultimate comeback :martin:
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.
He was just about to sign to the Roc though :mjcry:

I've had this convo before....I remember someone saying that maybe they had plans of putting it on the album prior to his death and it just turned out that way. But what if Mobb Deep had control and knew what they were doing actually green lighting it to be on the album afterwards? What if it was never meant to be on the album and instead was just meant for the dj's but after his death they said 'fukk him lets put this on the record' just to be spiteful and evil.
It was supposed to be the lead single. Pac dying actually fukked up the roll out of Hell On Earth.

Cause it was terrible. I tried to listen to it the other day. It was whack. Smh at how prodigy gets so much credit for The Infamous but outside of that dude really didn't bring it. .


"How the fukk is murder music when everybody that ever dissed this nikka is still breathing/ jayz saigon nas already killed him/tupac he ain't alive but you ain't kill him" Hail Joe Budden
:dwillhuh:

I couldn't believe it when you brought up BP2. I lost, but I learned a good lesson...so really I won :huhldup:
Yeah - Super Ugly started off shaky and came across as kind of creepy.
The people rejected it right off top.

creepy or not, Jay got him with that last verse. It was personal, but irrefutable facts, and the truth stands out more than any lyrical dexterity. That's the aim of a diss track.

@mobbinfms

yeah I mean I was barely getting into hip-hop by the time this beef had come to life so I wasn't living it at the time

Creativity is great for sure, but look at what the best disses did. My top 2:

1. No Vaseline - led to NWA's break-up and a vicious attack on all existing members and Jerry Heller
2. The Bridge is Over - R.I.P. MC Shan and put The Bronx on the map as a place to be respected and taken notice of

I mean Supa Ugly is hardly remembered anyway but that 3rd verse even made me feel sorry for Nas lol. It's whatever. I think at the end of it all, Jay won. And remember in Ether vs. Takeover, Ether was a response diss so it should have been even more devastating but it wasn't. It was just a load of childish insults.
