Lets be honest NYC. These Pro Era niggas at their strongest/prime would not have the heart or strength in bowels or bladder containment to pull up to any function with Death Row at its prime for a "battle". I can literally see the Outlaws and Suge Bloods beating the hell and chasing these weird niggas through building like they did Bad Boy, Junior Mafia, Mobb Deep. Like Pac said "this aint no freestyle battle all you niggas getting killed".
So does this guy think they are going to battle 8 mile style, 106 n park style or acapella? Pac would wash him in all 3. Joey can have all the lyrics he want. Pac has a fierce delivery, theatrics, infectious charisma and energy. Also take a look a Pac work ethic and quick adaptability to situations. something that this generation does not get taught from parents or value. 2Pac wouldnt be a pushover in a battle. Pac would work the stage and win the crowd and judges. Anybody can say what they will lyrically do to someone in a battle but being there in the heat of the moment in line of fire and doing those thing is a whole nother thing. Ask canibus
Diss records? Pac will have these bitches with drinks in the hand moving they hips like the god bcotton at the club screaming fuck joey and pro era. That is right up pac alley. Pac would make that Troy line seem like a church hymn. Pac one of the most disrespectful shit talker and provocateurs in hip hop history. He better relax and take notes from that dude in his own hood that didnt even want to battle Pac on wax. Nas is a better lyricist than Pac also but cried the whole weekend when he heard Pac dissed him on Against All Odds.
And what I find so so so so funny and ironic about his comment is that these pro era niggas get their jollies off on niggas telling them "they sound like early 90s NY rap". Pro Era and their mostly white fans love telling motherfuckers that Joey is bringing NY back. Now Joey and his fans should ask themselves what exactly happened to NY for it to be brought back. Pac happened. Pac nuked the city. Only roaches and rats survived the blast. These same NY roaches and rats went on to create the jiggy era and went down south and started bouncing all of a sudden. When NY started growing new life after Snoop leveled the buildings it was severly mutated. NY rappers wanted to be crips and bloods. NY rappers wanted to be southern drug dealers. NY rappers wanted to be EUROPEAN. NY rappers started throwing up westside and let LA niggas claim the crown of they city. Pro Era and Joey is essentially a undeveloped 6th toe, 3rd arm of the body of NY hip hop after radiation of Pac napalm blast on destroyed his city 20 years ago
