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

[GunTown]

Well almost 99% of 2pac songs feature a singer doing the hook @ Da Riddler maybe not 99% but almost most his songs. The hooks u named that he did do there were simple rapped hooks

U mustve only heard his post death albums, he did most of his hooks df is u talkin bout?

nah he's in my top 10 easily own more than just his death row albums i respect the fact he did at times do hooks but these hooks he did are not really anything that stand out, i just can't image another rapper thought lemme get 2pac to do a hook for my song

Those same hooks that didnt "stand out" have been re made 1000 times...

I heard these songs lol i just never ever found a hook he did catchy like thought wow this stuck in my head. 2pac to me was about verses with conscious ish but diverse in the verses he wasn't just conscious bars he could do the Gangster ish too

I think o/p just saying if 2pac was good at hooks he would have had some big hits on the chart where he did hooks himself rather than get a featured singer or use a sampled hook

 

[_Goldie_]

I would post "keep ya head up" and "temptations" but ik yall mfs gon nitpick and say that aint him on the bg vocals lol, Yall cant say shit about "so many tears " tho

Can somebody explain why this is even getting recognized. This is a troll thread and its more than apparent that with ALL the facts that you will show them, they will come with an excuse. Everybody that LISTENS to pac knows this isn't a fact.

I could've sworn someone was singing on dear mama and I ain't mad at ya but whatever you niggas hear what you wanna hear. And I Get Around had a feature and tbh the feature was the better verse. And nigga if yall wanna make this about hooks thats on yall all I'm saying is he never had a hit without a feature.

 

[rapmusic]

I don't even know how to respond to this lol

Does it matter if he didn't sing it as long as he wrote it. smh

was he supposed to be singing on the hooks instead?!!!

Lmaooo, yall lost yall mind with this drake shit, and i like the kid drake and a big fan of Max B, still Pac had them hooks in his own way, just like the artists i mentioned...foh

 

[hnic1978]

They talkin bout it like it made a difference in him being one of the best rappers of all time....."Oh the only reason why Pac is the GOAT is because he had other people singing his hooks lol FOH.

 

[hnic1978]

Like niggas gonna be like PAC AINT THE GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME CUZ SOMEBODY ELSE SANG HIS HOOKS!!!

 

[hnic1978]

MAN I CANT LISTEN TO PAC UNLESS HE GOT SOMEBODY SINGING THE HOOKS!!!

 

[GunTown]

Does it matter if he didn't sing it as long as he wrote it. smh

Evidence that he wrote all the hooks that had a singer feuting and doing them? Even then writting a hook is easier than singing it 2pac couldn't sing

A hook stays stuck in the listeners head because of huw it is sung not because of how it is written or the lyrics in the hook

Of course he wasn't suppose to sing hooks because he couldn't sing the altenative would be to just do rapped hooks which he did wen he didn't have a feature on them. I'm a fan of Max B, Eminem, B.o.B, Bone Thugs who sing hooks as well that's a huge aspect of why i love their music

If u listening to 2pac for hooks u listening to the wrong rapper that's why i said Pac made up for it with his verses

why you trying to make 'singing' apart of some criteria that we have to abide by? fuck outta here with this bullshit, if thats how you like hooks and believe thats the formula for them, stick to them shits, in the era in which Pac was a apart of niggas/rappers didn't sing their hooks, straight hip hop, go and up a track of nwa or wu-tang trying to sing out their hooks, smh

I'll catch hate for it and have done but me they are something i look forward to hearing. But That don't mean 2pac isn't in my top 10 he makes the top 10 greatest ever because he could rap what he did in rapping he did very well

^^^does this count and validify Pac being able to compose and 'sing' hooks?!!!

This shit solidifies Pac's status so much more now...omg...omg...omg

 

[usmarin3]

It's like saying Quincy Jones ain't shit because he directed the musicians, he didn't play all the instruments. The vision to create music > the ability to perform it imo.

I guess they have never heard of a rapper or producer composing the hook but getting somebody else to sing it......
