lmfao classic shyt. Never gets old

It's really not that much of straw man...considering he said 90% of all rappers were legit tough guys...that's the overwhelming vast majority of every rapper walking the earth....I mean if somebody is saying something that is CLEARLY hyperbolic, ridiculously exaggerated silliness born out of nostalgia and expects me to take it at face value...I have to question something, especially when COMMON FUKKING SENSE and others with even more initimate knowledge of hip hop from that era say otherwise...I'm not calling him a flat out liar or knocking or him or anything...but he's doing the same thing all these "back in the day puzzy was wetter" dudes do when they get older...it's just human nature

Did YOU live thru it?...no...statically ALONE proves nikkas are far softer now...

 

[Canada Goose]

This is stupid. What was he supposed to do
go murk a bunch of cats and
sacrifice his lucrative career for your entertainment?
Do you guys even think about this shyt before you type it ?

Even real street cats aren't trying to go out
and commit a bunch of murders.

Exactly 2pac was a Celebrity, dude wasn't no mixtape rapper, he was one of the hottest rappers in the game topping billboard charts and was in movies, he couldn't go around murdering people

Also, Pac was a man that grew up in the struggle and made it, why the fukk why would he throw his life away after having so much success? He could have made his eminmies miserable by running Bad Boy out the game, and if he was successful with that, he would still have his freedom where's Diddy & Biggie would be like

This is much better method than going around killing people

Basically Pac was trying to do to Bad Boy what 50 did to Ja & Murder Inc.

Its funny cause the rap cats who used to promote peace n shyt like that was like the most thoro nikkas...

Real talk, mayne.

I mean, iono about the 90% stat, but in order to be heard in your neighborhood you had to be a dude with clout...and a lot of dudes had clout because they were track-tested.

At the very least, rappers weren't lettin' niccas slide talkin' chit about them.

 

[OG Talk]

Look at these Pac stans with their double standard ass reasoning to justify Pac's tough guy bravado...These Pac stans are hilarious

That fake ass ballerina fakket ass nikka

I spit at that man's lie of a legacy and thats why that fakket died broke..

Thank Gawd for real West Coast nikkaz like K dot...who keeps it authentic and aint out there making a front.....

And fck any bytch arguing with me about Pac being better than Hov...I'll kiss you, fukk you and have u feelin like I love u with my immaculate stroke game..then dip back to my crib before ya ass wake up and have u wake up with no good morning text from me the morning after

It's funny how Pac is always you guys poster child for a fake gangster rapper..But who are the real gangster rappers from your era that you are comparing him to?

Drake? Kanye? Wiz? Wayne? Ross?

I notice a few months ago you were running around procliaming Keef as your generations new Pac.. Then he got sent to camp Snoopy, broke down crying in the courtroom and wants to get baptized and give his life to Jesus




So ask yourself.. Who are they to be equaled to?

Does your dumb ass believe 90% of all rappers 20 years ago were legit tough guys?

TODAY has absolutely bearing on what is OBVIOUSLY a ridiculously and CLEARLY false claim of the past

Y'all are trying to make some silly ass pissing test between now and then...I'm just calling out what is a very plainly based statement

Does your dumb ass believe 90% of all rappers 20 years ago were legit tough guys?

TODAY has absolutely baring on what is OBVIOUSLY a ridiculously and CLEARLY false claim

Mike was actually there and he was a legit street dude, im taking mikes word.

 

[Real N Quotes]

son..u focusing on the 90% rather than the full message he was tryna convey...second...u wasn't there....third...he was...and he was doin dirt on the streets...also..rappers were more close knit and ran into eachother ALL the time on the streets...it's COMPLETELY different than it is now..do u hear me?..COMPLETELY different...environment..streets..people...everything...u have no argument....

Yea same with pac....That nikka was a fakket ass stripper and ballerina

 

[boskey]

Yep exactly..

It's not just rap.. It's society as a whole..Every generation gets progressively more soft...The generations before us were callused to a level that we can't even comprehend..

There are blatant examples everywhere to show that this era is more p*ssy.. Women fighting on the front line, homos in the military, the NFL turning into a flag football league,the concept of hate crimes, the national campaign against bullying etc..etc...

Times Square used to look like a 3rd world country now it's Disney Land (except you can't even buy a large soda)

Everything around it is trending more towards soft...

To argue against the reality is just arrogant and ignorant...

It's funny how Pac is always you guys poster child for a fake gangster rapper..

Pac said fukk Jay Z...you do the math

 

[Gifted one]

How come people on here don't realize that Mike was out there in the streets during that time period I'm supposed to take some 20-25 year old message board posters word over someone(Mike Tyson) that was actually out there in that environment.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

son..u focusing on the 90% rather than the full message he was tryna convey...second...u wasn't there....third...he was...and he was doin dirt on the streets...also..rappers were more close knit and ran into eachother ALL the time on the streets...it's COMPLETELY different than it is now..do u hear me?..COMPLETELY different...environment..streets..people...everything...u have no argument....

So you're just no-sell what I'm actually saying...disregard everything and argue some IMAGINARY argument you've made up in your head...niqqa get the hell outta here until you learn how to read

Mike said 90% of all rappers were legit tough guys...I say that is a clearly ridiculous statement...all the other sh!t I don't care about and haven't said a word about....what you think if you TYPE YOUR IMAGINARY ARGUMENTS THAT I'M NOT MAKING IN CAPITIALIZED LETTERS IT MAKES MORE SENSE?

Y'all acting like Mike Tyson is the first person in the history of the world with first hand knowledge to speak on rappers back in the day...CERTIFIED STREET LEGENDS have gone on record saying the exact opposite of what Mike's saying here...hell Rappers themselves have...Jigga saying he didn't want to rap because rappers were corny and the dudes he hustled with used to clown them, all of this is disregarded because Mike Tyson said otherwise in a podcast? The majority of the entire rap game was full of thorough killers that just decided to pick up a mic
