Jim Jones & Maino Debate Whether 2Pac is A NYC Rapper

[BK The Great]

 

[get these nets]

MC New York

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

2pac from California

2pac never liked ny

And ny dudes never liked 2pac


Ny is where most pac haters are at


Plus pac said out his own mouth he was from Cali

Idk why this is even a debate

 

[DaveyDave]

If the man himself didn’t rep NY and is accepted as a West Coast MC by the VAST majority of not 100% of west coast/Bay Area cats then you can’t just choose to claim him for NY JUST BECAUSE he was born there.

 

[Boonapalist]

He’s a Bay rapper that’s what he claimed when he was alive and that’s who claimed him. shyt he was considered a West Coast rapper by everyone when he was alive.

I never saw him to as a NY rapper when he was alive nor nor did I meet any cats from NY that claimed him. So why after he’s passed has there been this push.

 

[28 Gramz]

Pac moved around as a kid and found his home-base in California. The nikka was a westcoast rapper point blank.

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

East Coast born but the West Coast adopted him.

So he's from the West

 

[get these nets]

His formative years were in NY. He listened to the same radio shows, watched video music box, attended the same concerts as EVERY other Black dude his age in the city

Not making it up, he said it himself on Nothing Like The Old School



His time in Baltimore, MD and in Marin City, CA expanded the amount of influences he had.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

He may have been more NY based in the Thug Life/Me Against The World era but overall I'd say West Coast

 

[KnowledgeIsQueen]

Do other artists forget another musicians catalogue or just make up anything for click bait purposes when an individual isn't alive to provide their perspective?

 

[Illuminatos]

nikka moved to California when he was 17. Damn near a legal adult. How he gets away with “being from Cali” is beyond me.

Nah he’s from the Bronx but he’s a Bay or West Coast rapper. And that’s not true about him never liking NY.
