Pac vs Nas

[The Ruler 09]

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.

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.

On the forum is the popularity list Pac, Nas, Jay? I wonder where KRS-One would come into if he would in terms of popularity here.

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 guess I just dont see "Take it in Blood" as lyrical. Lyrical to me is "Failure" or "D'Evils"

I feel like I can pull any Pac song up and it'll be lyrically on the same level. Lets say "Heartz of Men"

I'm a nas Stan but I'll go with Pac

Pac, easily.

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

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!

People acting like Pac created the bloods and crips or something. Some people do focus on the gangsta shyt but there were different layers to Pac, he didn't just do that musically.

Keep Ya Head Up
Baby Don't Cry
Dear Mama
Changes
Me Against The World
Can You Get Away
Unconditional Love
Brenda's Got A Baby
Happy Home
Better Dayz
Words Of Wisdom
Droppin Knolwedge
Panther Power
Part Time Mutha
White Manz World
Hold Ya Head
This Ain't Livin
Do For Love
My Burning Heart
The Goos Die Young


Etc.

What's wrong with shooting at cops? From what I heard they were harassing an innocent person and that's why it happened. Not like he just was crazy and thought mm let me shoot at these cops for fun.

Mayne da haters just gotta find sum way to hate

Bbbut but pac was a backup dancer for DU


Nig gotta get his start somewhere would you be glad he was out selling dope killing ppl?

Bbbut but pac was soft


A nig gotta be hard gangsta 24/7 no emotions at all. Dis the same fool that was well known to be in hood spots get in random fights one on one, 40 on 1, assaults with bats, he bust his gun on numerous occasions was known to be around black panthers political prisoners well known gangstas went to jail all dat

Bbbut Pac aint keeping it real


Keeping it real for who? You? A nig was being true to himself and wasn't ashamed about it. He went up against the Vice President for telling his ppl don't let these hypocrites back you down you gotta defend ya self even if against dem boys. These days Kanye Kardashian gets lambasted by the Prez for interrupting a lil white girl and he real?


Bbbut but Pac wasted his life over acting tough


First he ain't real and he soft now when he acts like a real (dumb) nicca he wasted his life. Nah dat man did more den most will do in 10 lifetimes and however foolish he was he lived what he said. You wont be able to respect that if you a sheep azz snake who only does what they can.

Pac represents the underdog in every culture or society. He is a reflection of the many sides/faces ppl hold throughout their lives. He is the fall the rise #dualities and has a song for every emotion.
He was deeper than rap so pitting him against rappers for most wont be even.

He was no where near perfect nobody is. Frankly, Im glad dude aint for everybody.

Dam that wake and bake got me writing essays my G.

Much respect to Nas him and Pac had mutual respect. Imagine them collaborating had he lived! Pac was even bumping Nas on his way to Vegas.

 

[The Ruler 09]

Yeah Pac and Nas would have collaborated and been cool, similar in some ways.

pas is untouchable tbh
