Tracks like "Krazy" is why Pac >> Jay

[ROFL_GUY]

Time goes by
.. puffin on lye
Hopin that it get me high
Got a nikka goin cra-zy
Oh yeah, I feel cra-zy

Time goes by, puffin on lye
Hopin' that it gets me high
Got a nikka goin cra-zy
Oh yeah, I feel cra-zy

(Tell 'em bout it)


Last year was a hard one, but life goes on
Hold my head against the wall learnin right from wrong
They say my ghetto intrumental, detrimental to kids
As if they can't see the misery in which they live
Blame me, for the outcome, ban my records - check it
Don't have to bump this but please respect it
I took a minus and now the hard times are behind us
Turned into a plus, now they stuck livin blinded
Hennesey got me feelin bad, time to stop drinkin
Rollin, in my drop-top Jag, what's that cops thinkin?
Sittin in my car, watch the stars and smoke
I came a long way but still I got so far to go
Dear mama, don't worry; I'ma watch for snakes
Tell Setchu, that I love her, but it's hard to take
I got the letter that she sent me, and I cried for weeks
This what came out when I tried to speak - all I heard was




I see bloods and crips runnin' up the hill
Lookin for a better wayyyyyy..
My brothers and sisters it's time to build
'cause even thug nikkaz prayyyyyy..
Hopin' God hear me,
I entered the game;
look how much I changed
I'm no longer innocent - casualties of fame
Made a lot of money, seen a lot of places
And I swear I seen a peaceful smile on my mama's face
when I gave her the keys to her own house, this your land
Your only son done became a man
Watchin time fly; I love my people do or die
But I wonder why, we scared to let each other fly
June 1-6, '7-1, the day
mama pushed me out her womb, told me, "nikka get paid."
No one can understand me - the black sheep
Outcasted from my family, now packin heat
I run the streets, a young runaway, live for today
When he died, I could hear him say, c'mon..


[Bad Ass]
God help me out here, cause I'm posessed
I need the root of all evil for my stress
Cause money's like a stong prescription drug, it's got me addicted
to the pleasure and the pain it inflicted
Somethin bout the paper wit the pictures of the president's, head
Damn, it's like a motherfukkin plague that spread
It's epidemic; forgotten, forgotten it got worse
I keep my head on straight, makin money cause it's cursed
Makin money makes a difference day by day so I gotta stay
paid, no doubt, day in and day out
This life is like a vicious cycle called fightin' to live
No matter how hard you try to see death, you gotta die
A lot of my, peers didn't make it to the years to come
Did life do 'em right, or did life leave 'em dumb
Who has the answers? I wonder; I turn to my elders
They aged and experienced, but they can't even tell them
or tell me, that there'll be light at the end of the road
(Why?) Cause they don't even know
A million thangs run through my mind..
You ain't gotta be in jail to be doin time..


Time goes by
.. puffin on lye
Hopin that it get me high
Got a nikka goin cra-zy
Oh yeah, I feel cra-zy


Time goes by, puffin on lye
Hopin' that it gets me high
Got a nikka goin cra-zy
Oh yeah, I feel cra-zy

I'm feelin' fukked up in this bytch.
I smoked half a ounce to the head
Chocolate tye, indo, Hawaiian, lambsbread, buddha, all that shyt
I'm fukked up in this motherfukker, and Hennesey don't help
and Hennesey don't help - Thug Passion in this muh'fukker
Makaveli the Don puttin it down to the fullest, maximum overload
3 Day Theory - Killuminati to your body
with the impact of a 12 gauge shotty
Double-I slugs, no love, straight thugs

One time for my nikkaz in the jail cell
(One time for my nikkaz locked up)
One time for my nikkaz doin life in hell
(One time for my nikkaz and shyt, one time)
One time for my nikkaz in the jail cell
(One time)
One time for my nikkaz doin life in hell
(One time for my nikkaz locked down)
One time for my nikkaz in the jail cell
(For my nikkaz locked up, one time)
One time for my nikkaz on Death Row
(One time for my nikkaz on the Row)
For my nikkaz on Death Row
One time for my nikkaz livin, broke
(Westside, California style, L.A.!)
One time for my nikkaz livin, broke
(You know what time it is, no doubt)
One time for my nikkaz in the.. jail cell
(Get high, puffin on lye, wonder if it get me high)
(Yeah, yeah, crazy..)


Tupac Amaru Shakur

 

[Mac Casper]

Tracks like "Krazy"... and a million more that Tupac wrote that completely >>>>>> all over Jay's catalog.

Not to discredit Jay or his work

 

[Mac Casper]

Musically a fantastic album

 

[Smokin Rider]

My favorite track of all time

 

[mr. smoke weed]

favorite tupac song
but Bad Azz murdered that shyt

 

[ATearInMyEye]

"Pass me a cigarette Dog.. Got me feeling Krazy than a motherfukka"



but still jay>>>>>>pac

 

[HendriX]

Introspective tracks is Pac biggest strength as an MC tho

He wouldn't be able to make a track Like D'Evils..so it evens out imo.

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

I might be generalizing, but I think most of the time your preference between the two has more to do with what your looking for in the music rather than the artist themselves. If you love that soul music you roll with Pac or 'face whereas if your more into the popular shyt and the easy going shyt you might be more inclined to Hov or Big. To reach the heights that our Hip Hop icons are at is amazing no matter what, but we constantly pit them against each other as if there's one true concrete answer. Maybe majority consensus, but never absolute consensus.

There are more concrete reasons why I'd say Pac > Jay than randomly naming a Pac song, I think that's why Pac stans rub people the wrong way. It's like Jordan stans tellin nikkaz what we already have gone over a 1000x over. Meh whatever, it's a great song nonetheless...

 

[BlackZilla]

Uh, yeah there are better ways to prove that Pac > Jay, but I agree with the dude above me nonetheless...it's more about what you look for. Jay and Big are more slick, Pac was pretty straight forward.

 

[HendriX]

I was reading through XXL's making of Makaveli article the other day..this song wasnt finished yet..the outlawz were supposed to be on the song but they couldnt finish their verses so Pac threw bad azz on it..glad he did that ..legendary verse by him.

"Pass me a cigarette Dog.. Got me feeling Krazy than a motherfukka"

That one dimensional rapper ain't close to Pac...
Don't ruin a great thread...

Thank god

Outlaws messed up so many of my favorite pac songs.
I know that was the fam but damn Pac shoulda hit them with the way more often
