[marc123]

Classic song

RIP Pac

 

[_Menace_]

it takes a real Ballerina to write a song like this

Says the fag saying "Gee has a hot picture"

I played my mom this song back in 1997 because she wanted to does Pac rap about anything else. I played her this and she cried saying that was beautiful for him to do that for his mother, this is the only Pac song my mom listens 2.

* wanted to know" damn phone kills me changing up my words

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

I remember hearing this as a child. I was 4 at the most. This will always be one of my favorite songs ever because its too real.

It was always my momma, me, brother and sister. Grew up in the hood, on the eastide of Detroit on welfare but we never struggled. She made sure we had everything and never wanted for anything. Working two and three jobs to provide.

She doing good now. Making a great living and she got everything she need. That's my black queen for sure!

Just to think, if they didn't beat up Orlando Anderson that night they would have been able to stay competitive with Bad Boy.

Remember Puffy was dancing in the videos and Ma$e was rapping over 80s samples. MC Hammer could have done the exact same thing that Puff was doing, but when they jumped Orlando Anderson the whole Death Row operation went down the toilet.

MC Hammer could have been dope with the right production and 2Pac ghostwriting for him.

He kinda sounds like an young LL in that tunes, its kinda off beat but its dope, mainly because I can hear Pac in it haha

I got question in Pac's version what did he say at the start, it always sounded edited or like he stammered or the record skipped:

'It'll last for all these crazy days

These crazy nights

Whether you wrong or you right

I'm a (sounds edited or censored) still love you

Still feel you'

I dont wanna go down on why Pac was killed etc

But I'll say, Hammer, as much he was a legend in the 80s and early 90s and one of biggest stars of hip hop ever, he was never as good on a beat like Mase and would not of been able to have an impact like the shinny suit Badboy artists in the late 90s and 00's... He would of been to dated, you only gotta hear that version of Unconditional Love, he sounded off beat and out of touch, just like other old legends that try to stay relevant...
