Another dope sample flipped on two different songs and another poll. Lets see how it goes:



Who rocked it best? Try and put your Stannery aside for a moment and consider:

  • Lyrics
  • Hook
  • Production
  • Mix
  • Overall concept and execution
  • Timelessness
  • Replayability
On either side then vote. This ones tougher than AEOM vs Street Dreams though:


Could've put the OG to Friendz up here but Troublesome 96 was Pacs own concept based on jacking the beat from Nas so its a better matchup. That and Friendz is arguably a better song than both anyway.

Troublesome is one of fav Pac songs but If I Ruled is also one of my favorite Nas songs...and on top of that that 2nd verse in one of the greatest verses in rap history, imo. I feel like I want to say Troublesome but I know it's only because of Pac's energy and the fire he had in his voice and presence on that shyt...shyt makes you want to lift the whole gym. But song wise/lyrically/hook/all that other stuff you said, I'd pick Nas shyt, perfect song.
