It was NY rappers who were saying West Coast rappers couldn't rap, they had no lyrics, basically was calling them Chief Keef of their time, more image and style than substance in their lyrics, they didn't participate in the pillars of hip-hop (freestyling, b-boying, djing, etc.) And Pac showed them up

Pac was from Bronx breh

pac showed them up how?

im still tryna figure out who called pac out. youre all over the place.

A lot of sneak dissin' was goin' on, wasn't too many cats from the NYC with heart to diss West Coast rappers to their face, and in regards to Pac it wasn't him specifically, that was the general sentiment on the East Coast at that time. If you weren't born before 1985 you wouldn't understand breh

ehh, cube wouldve ate common and his overrated track if the beef didnt get squashed.

Disagree there, Com ate Cube beyond repair.

i was into hip-hop before 2pac was even dancing for digital underground. i know all about how the west was criticized.

im just trying to figure out how 2pac got into this, and what this has to do with finesse/percee.

It'll always be amazing to me, man....

watching or listening to old school cats....

the wordplay and science and multis and rhyming to the syllables is there, just like the best of the best today

only thing different is the old school sounding flow and the subject matter.

But it's still all the same. like math equations and sheet music.

hip hop is such an amazing thing....
