What if Pac were to hear " Drop a gem on 'em

[mobbinfms]

Seem salty bout how thread finner do CBR & VCR numbas

Don't make me have to risk my freedom :pdahellclean:

 

[mobbinfms]

meh

 

[Tflasha]

Because PAC died. If he had lived, that was the single.

Fam, i know you love mobb deep and you suppose to ride for your team, but be realistic, that shyt would've fell on deaf ears..
























IT FELL ON DEAF EARS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mobbinfms]

Even tho Pac responded to LA LA, We have to dismiss LA LA because my OG homie once broke the shyt down.

He said where did Dogg Pound do their NY NY video? I said in NY

He then asked where did CNN and Prodigy do LA LA? I said in NY

so he said well then Dogg Pound won that round.


But Drop A Gem was like the actual first round....Pac was still alive when that shyt dropped on Future Flavers, I'm sure he heard it.......The way Muggs was bragging about how he heard King Of The Hill before anyone else, there's no doubt in my mind Pac heard it......it was as if Biggie was the main course and Mobb Deep were the appetizers.....But Pac fukced it all by getting killed. Changed up the whole narrative. In the end, asking such a question as OP did will only lead to speculations of "could'ves would'ves and should'ves"

I doubt CNN had the budget to shoot a video in LA in 96.

Would history reflect an etherous time for Pac?

Prodigy's verse

Pac had them nikkaz runnin' for their lives in Atlanta. Claim thug life you better be ready to die behind that sh*t Hit 'em up would have been just an appetizer to the full meal he would have served them Oompa Lompa project losers had he viewed them as a serious threat.

 

[mobbinfms]

dude wasnt saying much of nothing on Hit Em Up

Oh we know :prodigylol:

they gotta say his name

For what? So Pac could move some units off the Mobb's fan base? :pdahell2:
You had to be an idiot to not know who they were taking about. Or a casual fan.

for 2, get a better a beat...that would help

 

[the cac mamba]

outside of 'got raped on the island ', never thought the song was that hard hitting

its a dope ass song but

Album is a classic and gold. Even with Pac dying and fukking up the roll out.
People know Pac got ate alive. Hearing that shyt must have felt like this for Pac

You're forgetting that Drop a Gem On Em was gonna be the first single. Thy would have shot a video for it. They had already recorded a radio version and everything.

Pac would have had to come back much harder than When We Ride on our Enemies.

Oh im sure he wouldve took notice of it. He prob wouldve released fatal and felony on them to finish mobb off. Don't get me wrong drop a gem was and still is heat and they were the only dudes to really come back but nah i can't see them really withstanding that verbal barrage pac and the laws was giving to them. shyt fatal alone wouldve worked them

I focus my locus thought on the enemies
Sick off the Hennessy, it's necessary to finish me
I'm antisocial immortal, when it comes to vocal
Jersey them nikkas down and wont approach 'em 'til it's time to smoke 'em
Hussein the terrorist
nikka they think I'm crazy
In caribbean as we speak they tryin' to find me a therapist
Rapid fire I clap that iron 'til you die a liar
Strap in the city corners droppin' on to spin the tires
My man'll find ya this 357 anaconda
Is enough to brand ya mama then turn around and handle drama
Military comradery, oulaw 'til they body me
Havoc I gotta have it steady blastin' at Prodigy
Mobb 6 feet deep, you try to bust me 'til death
And I suppose you got the dopest moves like Chucky on fresh
You know the verdict, who what when why he died murdered
Get your physical diverted and your vision deserted

“When I was in jail, when they came out with that song, when they was like, “Thug Life, we still livin’ it”…you know in that song that they have. Well I took it as a dis’. So from jail, I’m calling my lil’ homies in Atlanta and was like, “yo, they got a show out there, get with them bustaz”. So my homeboys roll up and was like, “what’s up?”, them nikkaz was cowards. In the car looking forward like they didn’t see my homeboys going, “Thug Life muthafukka, what’s poppin?”…You know what I mean?…so I hate nikkaz like that.”

P as usual falling back and claiming nothing happened

“Right after “Survival of the Fittest” came out and all that thug life shyt we was in Atlanta and I seen them nikkas across the street throwing they signs in the air screaming thug life and that was about it,” Prodigy deadpans. “I remember that day. When he said it he over exaggerated saying they did something to us because that ain’t happen, but I remember them being across the street screaming thug life. They didn’t come step to us. They must have heard about our function and came through, but we never really liked 2 Pac’s music so we don’t know who these nikkas are. 2 Pac became familiar to me when he came with “Brenda’s got a Baby” and all that and I wasn’t really into that. I didn’t start liking him until he started flipping. I felt him because that’s how we felt. He just started flipping like nikkas tried to kill me, I’m fukking with Suge this nikka is blessing me with mad dough so I’m gonna make this shyt pop and go crazy everybody is gonna remember me and he did it. So nothing that he said ever affected me because I was always like Pac is crazy. Everybody got their crazy in them but some people got it more than others. He got that crazy shyt he was ill.”

Somebody up that interview with the reporter asking P and Havoc about the Tru Life robbery? Them nikkaz acted like they saw a ghost, tried to play it off like they never heard of the dude

I'm pretty sure they would have stayed they azzes in NY regardless of a budget F*ck around and end up in Goon Room B in death row studios gettin' the sam sneed treatment

That shyt is nice definitely. But now we get into what if territory.
Remember that Prodigy was one of the best rappers in 96 and better than Pac and all the Outlawz. If Drop A Gem On Em is the lead single for HOE with a crazy video the album probably sells more. Pac and the Outlawz strike back. Mobb probably gets another album out earlier. Is Nas drawn back in? Is the original version of Long Kiss Goodnight released? We know Jay was gonna go at him. So now we got Pac and the Outlawz against Mobb Deep, Nas, Biggie, Jay Z. Probably Trag and CNN too. They would have got buried.
Do Kurupt and Snoop get in it? Who else from the West? Cube? Dre was already making records with Nas before Pac died.

So some cats in ATL are yelling at them when they are in a car and they are supposed to link that up with Pac?

Who knows? Were they even signed at that point? It's another what if.
