Articulate much? You're a complete idiot. Stop reading the articles online. You clearly weren't around back when all this shyt popped off.

You have put a mental lock on your brain..

Without Pac, there would be no excuse or reason for Suge to go at BB, his main competitor for top Black label of the day.
Suge was always going to try take out opposition. opposition that threatened the dominance of his label. He needed something to go at them with, a label half way across the world on the opposite side of the country. They had no connection other than Pac's paranoid snitching that they shot him up. That was all Suge needed and subsequently signed Pac, and immediately the DR attacks on BB began. look it up and quit being so obtuse.

So Wolf shooting Big Jake Robles from Campanella Park wasn't a factor at all, huh?

You buggin, Suge wouldve went at them regardless considering him and puffy had a personal beef from the Robles murder..Pac had his own beef them, it was a mutual situation of Suge backing him with his money and power and Pac becoming they mouth piece to the public, back then Suge rarely gave interviews....and at its peak Deathrow was THE label in music routinely selling 3-4mil per project and redefined gangster rap, at their respective peaks Bad boy was never on that level until Biggie passed...

Bullshyt..Bad Boy pretty much sealed Death Row's fate as the leading Black label..the shift was obvious, and their anger was all about them slipping and losing their spot.
Im sure you would have signed to DR and been broke like the Snoop Daz and the rest.

Them Lo Lifes...
how'd G Dep get fukked over? He plead to a murder charge and went to prison of his own free will.
Puff knew GDep was having issues before he signed him..

Not lets get you cleaned up...no stay on dope so you can stay creative..

Him getting dropped further fueled his addiction.

Sign a known drug addict, make a couple hits, thrownem to the curb when you no longer can captilize off them brehs..

"UNTOUCHABLE" Death Row Records, no doubt. Why? Cuz if i would rode for death row, show some loyality to Suge, Suge and Death row would gave me everything what I want. They would down for me for life. That's why i love and respect Suge

Sealed they fate how? Please explain this logic...at that point in time Deathrow always sold massive amount of records and was in no danger of Bad boy taking there spot..none at all..Bad boy was a hot label but Deathrow was THE label..it was called the motown of gangster rap for a reason. .all the released were hits..
.everything from the chronic to Makaveli were event records...only one fukking with them was biggie on a sales tip but he only moved 2mil at that point...not the 4-6mil range Deathrow did with almost every album they put out.....even there last year on top they moved almost 12 mil records based off All eyez on me and the Makaveli album..shyt even gridlock soundtrack did 2mil..Pac dying had more to do with them falling off than the general public moving on to something else. ...Besides biggie who else was selling on bad boy like that?

in 1994 i was just born in January and living in Chicagoland. So let's just say I'm the age I am now, 22.

I feel like my subject matter would be some conscious, yet still able to turn up type shyt. I'd basically be a lite Common, just not from the city

I'd prolly fukk with Bad Boy n Diddy

Dude, you would've had more of a chance to put out conscious rap with 2pac and the Outlaws on Death Row, than you ever would have on Bad Boy

Did Bad Boy ever make a conscious song in it's entire history?:heh:

At least Pac did stuff like "Life Goes On" and "Shorty Wanna Be A Thug".

Hell, even The Chronic had "Little Ghetto Boy" and "The Day The nikkaz Took Over" on it.

All Bad Boy made was party records and dope records. You would've never seen the light of day nikka.

At least Suge would've seen you as a service to the community and fukked with you.
