On "Let's Be Friends" Tupac told Jay-Z, "You're broke . . and I smoke daily"

Since that hacker came out we now know in 96 jay had 1/4 of a Millie ins one account while PAC died with 30 g's and ppl talk about what PAC could've been. Dumb Dude was destined for an early grave

False numbers but okay.

The point still stands that he didn't have what he was suppose to have

That's funny.. Jay-z was KNOWN around NYC to be one if the Biggest spenders. Type of nikka that would take over any club.. And this was before he seen 1 industry check.

Just comedy coming from a nikka like pac who was a superstar in movies, music etc but died broke. Pac lived most of his life in poverty and was a slave to the industry before he ever see. Any real money. U aint never heard of jigga being a roadie for a B list group. J had money coming into the game

Tupac is the greatest rapper of all-time and the greatest icon hip-hop has ever seen

With that said the industry used him to serve a demonic purpose, his intentions were good

It's just sad that he got involved with suge because he was desperate in jail. Suge baing oppertunistic took advantage of PAC who did not have his business together and end the end fukkin with suge got him killed. It's all very sad that, PAC was such beautiful soul but he let that situation become his demise.

He said "F*ck Jay-Z, he's broke and I smoke daily" . . let that sink in for a moment - let's pretend it's 1996 . .

What was this line suppose to accomplish . . one a song originally intended to be titled "Let's Be Friendz" . . was he telling Jay-Z to come smoke with him?

Word, it was a garbage line... I find many such lines on illmatic

 

[god shamgod]

Easily one of the wakkest lines in hip hop history

Ironically Jay had more dough in 96 than pac did

That's what I'm getting at, but Tupac's delivery could make a throwaway line sound good. Always look for them at the end of the verse, that's where the artist came up with something nice and then needed to finish it out and get the ball rolling in the booth

This

its fukked up that pac was only getting 5,000 a month from Death Row then died with 20,000 in his account with his house and cars in Suges name.

shyt, Puffy pays his artists better than that

"You're broke . . and I smoke daily"


Some of the brokest people in the world smoke daily

Didnt an Outlaw member say that Pac knew that Jay was gonna be the next big thing in hip hop and therefore wanted to squash him before he blew up.

Pac knew Jay was gonna be a problem

2pac loved lyricists. just look how often kurupt would show up on his later work and unreleased material. shiit, check kane poppin up on the one nation album. i dont even need to mention how he completely upped his pen game on 'first 2 bomb' and "this aint livin" og's.
2pac wasnt going to join jay cause of his alliance w/ big, but he wouldve tried to beat him. its a shame we never truely got to see him at his lyrical peak.

Yeah, it happens but I cant defend it, it was pure laziness
If he was heralded as a top lyricist I would have a major problem with it because he did that shyt fairly often where he was goin along smoovely wit a dope verse, then out of nowhere wit some ol BS and I, the listener, be like

But he also had some crack in the song too...

"sippin on Chrystyle and Alize, smokin on big weed keyed the Cali way"
"dont like trickin but I'll buy you a fit, I cant stand no sneaker wearin nappy headed bytch"
