Mistakes rappers made

[sully]

Big Stretch should have stood by Pac's side instead of turning on him, Pac gave him his look not Biggie

What makes you think he took Biggie's side? Again, 2pac and Biggie's so called issues were not 2pac's real beef. 2pac's real beef were with the people who did "business" with Bad Boy. Alot of similar cats have been in the game forever. Rap or no rap. So i dont get why u dropped Biggie's name there. He never choose Biggie's side. The thing of it was that he prolly did street business and knew of those street cats before he even knew 2pac. Thats how they hooked up. Stretch was really that link between 2pac and Henchman and nem, while Henchman, Tut etc. were the obvious link between 2pac and Biggie.

Cats get it confused like 2pac just put Biggie on. As far as fame he definitely helped, but there was a reason. Happens all the time in the business. So technically 2pac didnt do more or less than those dudes. He was just the name who helped introduce Biggie in the spotlight, but he only did it as a favor or whatever to those cats, who Stretch knew before 2pac.

This is why 2pac dissed Nas too, which alot of people dont get. 2pac and Nas were cool, until after his shooting. Not a coincidence. Why? Cuz Nas had a connection to them too, hence the close affiliation to Foxy Brown down the line - who was fuckng and a "project" of those same cats - namely Haitian Jack. Welcome to the game ladies and gentleman. Cant believe mofos STILL that naive and cant see through things like that.

the 50/Ja thing is similar in that it wasn't that 50 hates Ja Rule as much as 50 was attacking Ja to get at the money that he was making for the backers of Murder Inc.

a lot of the more violent beefs have had a lot of street and business undertones that casual fans just don't pay attention to and get lost in the hype of two rappers beefing.

 

[sully]

Ja Rule shoulda took 50 Cent more seriously

i feel like Ja's biggest downfall was that he decided to start rapping hard again, after the beef really set off w/ 50. He had a lane that he was doing well in. Some people wouldn't have liked it, but i think he lost the fanbase he had with those thug love songs when abandoned that to prove to 50's audience that he was still a tough guy. Had he not done that, I think he would've remained relevant longer and 50 wouldn't have had the impact on his career that he had.

 

[onthafly]

Kanye should've never spoke swaghili.

 

[qawshun]

ny should've never adapted a south sound

beans shoud've listen to hov

who ever thought it was cool to dress like a girl/wear you hair in a Feminine mannor/or call yourself a pretty bitch/ all need to be murked out the game. see young boys/asap crew,/lil b and others for examples

Nosign about Nas releasing Nastradamus. You might be too young to remember but people were saying that the world was gonna end on Dec 31, 1999. he released two albums that year, on in the spring and one in the fall.

Nastradamus was a solid album. Not saying it was a 5 mic classic, but it was better than most of the albums that came out that year simply because Nas is/was a better MC than anybody and/or everybody that released an album that year. Jay Z, DMX, Ja Rule, Eminem, Common - Nas can spit better than all of them.

As far as mistakes rappers made, Tupac should have abandoned that Thug Life theme as soon as he went to prison. And when he came out of prison he should have made more songs like "Lord Knows" and "So Many Tears" and less songs like "Hit Em Up" and "Bomb First". Yeah, I know everybody likes to watch a beef but look what happened.

KRS should have never stepped to Nelly or he should have picked a better beat.

Canibus should have never dissed LL's wife

The Lox probably would have been better off if they stayed with Bad Boy. Because now Puffy gets 1/2 of their publishing and has no obligation or reason to promote them.

Jay Z should have never released "Supa Ugly". He should have released "Takeover" and when Nas dropped "Ether" he should have waited and dropped "Blueprint 2" when the album came out.

Cool C and Steady B should have never robbed that bank

C- Murder and all these other rappers that rap about killing people should have never made those kinds of songs. Seriously, if your on a jury in a murder trial and the prosecution plays a gangsta rap song that the defendant wrote, what would you think?

You would think a jury would know what an artist writes in songs should be seen as fiction and hold no weight in a murder trial.

Yeah but its not just 'a song', its the whole album. And his name. And its not like he's reading a script that somebody else wrote like actors do. He wrote those lyrics himself.

C murder should have sat his dumb ass down somewhere and enjoyed being rich. Fool ass nigga.

 

[Nah Son]

Jay Z should have never abandoned Tompetrez like that

 

[macadonwoo]

50 shoulda fell back and pushed Banks hard to save G units street and mainstreem value instead of barely shipping anything for hfm2

Mase should have never fucked that drug dealers girlfriend that lead to the deaths of some of his friends and made him pretend to quit Rap to become a preacher. When it was quite clear he had no other option.

Shyne shouldnt have gotten addicted to taken horse tranqs and eating marbles while he rsos.

C murder shouldnt have threw his life away over a battle rap.

Ross shouldnt have come out of his moms vagina and started breathing.

Dmx should have stayed away from crack

JA Rule should have never went after the only lable hotter then thiers at the time.

 

[south4life]

Russell shouldnt of given up the reigns of Def Jam, it pumped out better quality artists under his watch.

True shit right here

 

[macadonwoo]

^^^^ yes !

 

[sully]

Xzibit should've never done Pimp My Ride

 

[onthafly]

Lupe Fiasco should have kept hustlers song on food and liquor

 

[qawshun]

Canibus shouldve left the mic on LLs arm

Jayz should have never release the takeover

Capone shouldve kept his nose clean and blew up w Nore while CNN had momentum

Can't agree with you about take over the game needed that
