If someone said it was better than illmatic, I wouldn't argue. I disagree but their opinion holds alot if weight as well

 

[So ILL]

Undisputed classic.

I wonder is this the song that made Pac think Big was biting him. This and shed so many tears have a similar feel to them..

 

[Preach2Teach]

I could spit at least 98% of the rhymes just from my memory, this could be the Hip Hop album I have listened to the most in my life if not it is top 5 for sure.

Not trying to turn this into the 10000 big vs pac thread but I don't see the similarities between those songs at all. Pac wasn't talking about putting hits on people And stomping out people on so many tears lol

Yea, what 2Pac was talking about wasn't on Ready To Die

Best track on the album that people barely talk about. Ironic since it's the title track.

I really hate the remaster for this album and how you can no longer find the original on streaming services. The missing scratches/samples on this song and Machine Gun Funk were crucial. Those songs don't feel the same anymore.

About 10 years ago he got sued for those samples, so they had to take it off

I'm cool. I got the original remaster release from '04 that is just a cleaned up mix of the original album. Since I haven't used a CD player to listen to music in over 5 years it's a bit of a nuisance since I only stream music now but it's still there in the event that I actually plug in a CD player one day.

Didn't know that. Why'd they wait over 20 yrs to sue though? That long a time you'd figure they were cleared.
