it's actually IF I DIE TONITE
Oh I see, I don't think that's the same style either, but if you do then you do.
it's actually IF I DIE TONITE
explain. i questioned that because of the titles and different beats,but when i listened to how they were both spittin and what they were saying,i felt it was cool.Oh I see, I don't think that's the same style either, but if you do then you do.
I guess I just dont see "Take it in Blood" as lyrical. Lyrical to me is "Failure" or "D'Evils"I was thinking of Take It In Blood as someone mentioned that. Kind of where he ripped the beat lyrically and flow wise but had a laid back attack. What would be Pac's equivalent to that song would you say? Yeah I haven't heard Nas do songs quite like the ones you mentioned.
I could find 1000 Nas before I find another Pac.
Pac was a original individual.Nas was part of that 5 percent collective consciousness.Them pseudo intellectual cats come a dime a dozen.They read a few books, study the dictionary, extract the knowledge, and then go around parroting the shyt.I'm not knocking it, it's cool to see brothers utilizing their mind, but there's nothing unique about that.Like I said, I can go find about 10 Nas on my block right now.
Pac's intelligence was more visceral.He generated his own brightness.It originated with him.Not saying he didn't utilize the knowledge he found in books, I'm quite sure he did, but he didn't allow it to "intellectualize" his music like a lot of cats dude.He still had that gutty, instinctual/ spiritual element in his music.You know, those simple truths cast down in the same vein as old negro spirituals.That soul.The pathos of black pain.
Pac was the embodiment of that shyt.His mom fed it into his fetus when he was a baby.She was on trial and fighting for her life while she was pregnant with Pac.That shyt goes down into your baby and helps form the essence of their personality.
All those black revolutionaries/freedom fighters that Nas read about, Pac was raised by them.He lived under the same roof as them and peeped the game from just about every angle possible.Not just out of a book.
Experience is the best teacher.Pac was the nikka that Nas dreamed of being.Nas tries to "intellectualize his way there" but that's not where it's at.It's in your soul/spirit.If you really pay attention to detail, you can see that's what separates the two
lol,hate all u want to. "you're a candle in the sun,that shyt dont even out"How bright are you when you shooting at cops? No matter how you put it, people (however twisted they were) looked up to him. He was a role model and now there is a lost generation of thugs who won't amount to anything.
He was a slightly above average rapper that couldn't hang with LL, Kane, Rakim, D.O.C., Cube, KRS One, Scarface, Nas, BIG (not in this order).
Def Jef would eat his ass up!
