It was a clever line lol..but have you seen anyone outside of SOHH/Coli use it?


Nah..yall overrating the impact of this line.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows what Larry Holmes status is... matter of fact Champ Bailey got called Larry Holmes status on a FB post on my feed last night... I didnt even watch the game but I knew what was happening once I read that

People definitely use this shyt offline. I've seen and heard - with my own two eyes and ears - a nikka use the line 5 feet from de la soul in their rehearsal/dressing room. Maseo looked up in shock from the video game he was playing on some :Oh shyt: shyt. The dude who said it wasn't even thinking about the fact that de la soul was in the room with us, he was describing the lack of attractive females at the show. I was trying mad hard to keep a straight face, and I shot him a look like :jackeenikkaplease: but homie was too high and drunk to realize what he had just said.

nikka you said in 1995 ll was still going platinum,but during the bulk of 95' he hadnt dropped a platinum album in 5 years :merchant: Are we gonna pretend this wasnt a trying time for LL? Hoes wasnt even talking about this nikka anymore. That nikka was on the ropes and mr. smith brought him back to prominence in hiphop. He probaly was jealous like when he punched jaime foxx.

You're missing the context breh.

Song was called "Old School", mentioned "LL raisin hell but that didn't last". Also "LL when he Rocks the Bells".

Doesn't matter if LL didn't go plat for 5 years. The song Pac referenced was "Rock The Bells". It came out in '85 breh. If that was LL's only hit, or if he didn't go plat '85-'95, I could understand. But he put out 3 albums before "14 Shots To The Dome", and they all went plat or multi-plat. He dropped 1 gold album, then went right back to 2x plat with "Mr. Smith".

So his career was never cold. This is probably why he took the Pac lines the wrong way.

We laughed about it later with a bunch of our peoples. It was so disrespectful, but it's a priceless memory. I wish I hadn't met de la, their first two albums were really important to me as a hip hop fan, and I haven't listened to any of their shyt on purpose since meeting them. They were that corny to me.

The term is stupid. Larry Holmes was damn near fifty beating the shyt out of youngins. I think he even won a championship. If Suge and Pac ran up on him he would've beat them to a pulp.

I didnt take anything out of context,ll had most recently flopped and was at his worst moment musically of career at that point. And mr smith was considered a come back. While he was recording his diss he hadnt dropped a successful album in 5 years,in between that time he dropped his 1st flop

So out of every rapper in the game,pac decides to diss LL on the slick, on MATW? Meanwhile giving passes to biggie whom he claimed "stole" his original MATW (crucified) concepts and sound? Did 2pac diss any other rappers on the entire MATW? Over Kidada,whom he hadnt even met till 96'? :troll:


That wasnt a flop? LLCOOLJ was a hiphop superstar whom went gold with a few lackluster singles in the process.
Look at what Boomin system,around the way girl and mama said knock you out meant when they dropped. Then compare to pink cookies,back seat of my jeep and that other bullshyt. Then look at what hey lover,loungin rmx and Doin it meant when they dropped.
nikka 14 shots was a clear flop in comparison to both of those albums

dont try to dress it up.

you were making it seem like he dropped a string of albums and was cold during that period. in reality, he dropped that 1 album and was off doing other stuff. and while "14 shots" had dissappointing returns by LL standards, it wasnt a flop. and every single you just mentioned was a popular hit.

tupac looked like he was 37 when he died. nikka got that greg oden syndrome

2pac aint look no dam 37.

:hmm:

watch your mouth wierdo.

you purposely made a vague statement.

we saw what you did and called you out for it. youre not fooling anybody but simpletons like yourself.

Didn't Fat Joe diss Pac on the I Shot Ya remix as well? :leon:

i always wondered this.

and why did pac square off with keith murray? because keith was on the song?
