Damn The Official Tupac couldn't make a hit without a feature thread.

And younger generation wonders why they get no respect

Fuck this thread.

If some people in this thread bothered to watch any interviews of Pac or about Pac after his death, it's already been explained that one of the reasons, especially later in his career, why he didn't do his own hooks was b/c he was trying to churn out as much material as possible since he was paranoid about death. He would record the verses and send them out for the hooks to be placed on. He spent days in the studio recording his verses, and send them out for features and hooks while he recorded more songs. It's why he has such an extensive posthumous catalogue and why they were able to remix so many of his songs.

It wasn't particularly b/c he couldn't do it, it's b/c he wanted to record everything he had written down. I remember watching a video a while back about him in the studio and he was recording and telling the producers to worry about mastering the songs later, and how he was there to churn out song-after-song as quickly as he could. He didn't want to waste time waiting for every song to be perfected before doing the next one. So this tactic of sending it off for hooks was done for maximum efficiency.

How come @usmarine said he wrote the hooks? But atleast he aware now that he didn't write them so the featured singer basically wrote the hooks as well

So your saying once your album goes platinum all the tracks on the cd are hits?Tell me if I got you

Nope.you got it wrong..It was a single that charted decently...A single is what draws people in and makes them want to buy the album..and so many Tearz was one of the lead singles off Me Against the World so...It was a hit

 

[MrJR]

Tearz was not a hit me against the world wasn't that big of an album

Threadstarter you are a fuck ass. Pac had hooks nigga. Just cuz he wasn't singing like these flaw ass niggaz do now don't mean shit. Pac hooks had emotion and compassion. Niggaz be acting like Bitches singing and shit. That's not rap or hip hop. That's that gay shit that have you niggaz wearing all these lil ass clothes
