about that sneak shytI feel like even in 2015 it's obvious that Prodigy is going at Pac if you know any of the history. The raped in jail line, who shot ya, New York got ya, vibe magazine on some love shyt...
It wasn't a subliminal diss. It was obvious. Not saying "2Pac" doesn't equal subliminal.A lot of regions don't like that east coast subliminal slick dissing shyt.
Down in the soulful south & the wicked west, they like when you hit it head on.
A lot of up north niccaz ride their own dikk and think that shyt is cute, tho.
They just can't imagine other coast beingabout that sneak shyt
But he's right that everyone knew it was a Pac diss record in 96.


They talk about an out of towner who got shot and robbed in New York, went to jail, kicked thug shyt, had articles in vibe about him and was dissing them by name on some shyt he mighta wrote while he was drunk.
Who else would that be if not Tupac? They did everything BUT say his name.

Half the people on this board wasn't even into rap when the song came out. Some of them wasn't even born yet.
Who cares what they don't know? Yeah, let's determine whether or not something is well known by quizzing the least knowledgeable people on the subject.
Like I said, it was well known to be a diss record towards Pac when it came out. Which is the context of the song, 1996. Not 2015. I don't care about 20 years later.

Subliminal, by definition, would mean that the listener wouldn't realize the song was about 2pac. Everyone knew it was about 2pac.Yes it does, to.
Niccaz trying to change the definitions now
The casual listener had no idea who he was talking about
And by 97' it was forgotten about. I remember when I first heard "Drop A Gem On Em" in 98', I honestly didn't get it. I was aware that it was a diss record but I couldn't see where.

I agree on your point about casual listeners, but who cares about them? Hip hop fans knew what was up.

Unless you didn't know anything about 2Pac...
Mobb Deep fans - nationwide - but let's for the sake of argument say the East.No. People who listened to Mobb Deep knew wassup. People who kept up with Pac's battles knew wassup. Everybody else, you might want to reevaluate that
