The reason people are excited for the so-called OGs , is because people want some real hip-hop. Nobody wants to hear songs about the same shhiiii! Nobody wants to hear about drugs, killing somebody, all the girls you F.....etc
Leroy uses so called insults like “Bible thumper” because he despises God’s word. Yet in this live he proudly refers to the words of a man who joined the police force voluntarily, cried when it didn’t work out, then took the lives of innocent people. Then took his own life because he was cowardice. That’s Leroy’s hero. Yet he falsely accuses others of glorifying Pac’s murder while he glorifies a failed cop/murderer/cowardice self deleter who didn’t want to face the same system he once was thirsty to be a part of as a token “good ole black boy in blue”. Leroy’s hypocrisy continues to reach new heights.
Again the story is about racism in the police department. Those that don't wanna believe there's a blue wall of silence in which this officer reported on after witnessing abuse against the black community can side with the LAPD. Again I said where the story came from and told people to look it up and read for themselves.
He sided with the LAPD when he decided to join their force. He sided with evil when he decided to kill innocent people. It has nothing to do with siding with the LAPD. Since you side with Dorden, you side with taking innocent lives and one’s own life instead of standing like a man and fighting the so called wrong doing he saw and experienced
Tupac, who you have so much criticism for, didn’t take anyone’s life or his own like Dorden, the man you’re upholding. When Pac was beat by the cops (which there is irrefutable evidence of), he fought the culprits using intelligence and the legal system, and prevailed. Your hero wasn’t smart, righteous or brave enough to do that
When Pac, a civilian, witnessed a man being harassed, he came to his defense. As a result, he ended up in a gun fight with men who were later found to be corrupt police officers. Tupac was charged with assault and beat the charges largely due to the fact one of the firearms the cops used was stolen from the evidence locker. Tupac Shakur is a hero against police corruption, not Chris Dorden.
@@stillhere6558 As a black man I've already LIVED the experience your describing with Pac which is why I say I can relate when he was brought up. I criticized Pac FANS (fanatics) for not upholding his mission statement by living out the "thug" part but NOT the community activism. YOU took that as a diss to Pac so take your nonsense elsewhere.
@@chiefnem It does not matter because anything I say you'll find an issue with because I'm not a white man so unless it comes from them you'll find a way to disregard it before actually researching it yourself.
@@chiefnem This is the era where people read about something and two minutes later think they know all about it? No. Unless you take a decade of your life to study African (Egypt in ancient times is really Africa) history then you're talking without full understanding of what you've read respectfully. It's not about challenging me to a tit for tat debate. It's about you reading for yourself and understanding for yourself.
Who in their right mind speaks of Christopher Dorner in a positive light, yet degrades Jesus Christ and those who believe in Him. Leroy is a total joke.
I literally said look up the story and think what you want. I gave no personal opinion however in the story racism within the police to department from the Rampart era and before up until today is a constant in which he said he personally witnessed as a police officer. Again though think what you want. I gave no personal opinion.
There was absolutely no reason to bring up Chris Dorden’s name. First off, he wanted to be a part of a known corrupt and discriminatory system. Secondly, he was infuriated when they dismissed him and he could no longer be a part of their wicked system. And he took his anger out by taking innocent lives, then his own. You evoked his name because you admire him. You won’t admit it now because you’ve been put on blast
@@stillhere6558 I brought up the name because its literally what the song was about and I cover Hip Hop songs. I told people think what they want and gave no personal take on the story. Thee end.
@@stillhere6558 But No I don't have on no cape for the police and as someone from the home of the Panthers I don't feel sorry for them (the corrupt ones). I am not responsible for what happens to other people however the song was about this subject so I made it clear. Period
@@infamoushicks7471 yes the production is mid for sure. I expected better quality with that especially from Q Tip. What Pete Rock gave Common is much superior to what Tip gave LL
The album sounds like what it is: a 50+yr old MC long past his prime trying to sound and act cool and interesting. Nas IS cool and interesting (and a supreme lyricist), so his more recent projects actually hit. This LL album should've been left in the vault.
Pac v Cube….Pac wins easily. From Letter to the President to Happy Home to Blasphemy to Keep Ya Head Up. From So Many Tears to Tattoo Tearz, and the list goes on for days. Cube can’t compete with Pac’s flow, delivery, depth, charisma, range, talent or artistry. Pac was also a real militant from a militant family, Cube just played one on wax
Yea shout out to Cube but when I hear goofies who don’t know better say Cube was Pac before Pac, I immediately go and search for Cube’s Brenda’s got a baby, Keep Your Head Up. I can’t find a I ain’t mad at cha, or a Who do you believe in anywhere in Cube’s catalog. Shout out to today was a good day (one of the greatest rap songs ever) but it doesn’t trigger the same emotions as Dear Mama. Pac might’ve been inspired by Cube but he’s not Cube and Cube damn sure ain’t Pac
@@TheRealLeonardWashington And after your goofy self looks up those Pac songs go look up NWA, Amerikkkas Most, Death Certificate, Kill At Will, Predator, Lethal Injection and Westside Connection. Cube wasn't making records to get emotional to. He was making revolutionary music and yes Pac took influence from it clearly. Cube may have never given you the perspective of a woman but every aspect of being a black man he already covered in detail before Pac and became one of the biggest rappers in Hip hop with the government writing him letters asking him to chill before he incites black people to stand up for themselves. Hate all you want but it is what it is.
@@leroygreen6310a hit dog will holler that’s for sure lmao. And nobody is downplaying Cube’s impact. We’re just not goofy enough to agree with you saying Pac was just a carbon copy of Cube based off the fact that he influenced Pac. Well so did Chuck D. So did Kane when it comes to the playful swag. So did Schoolly D, so did Scarface. Only somebody that doesn’t know any better would credit all things Pac to Ice Cube. That’s like crediting all things Jay to Nas. We not about to act like Nas didn’t influence Jay. But nobody is dumb enough to say Jay is a carbon copy of Nas but based on your logic I guess some would say that
@@leroygreen6310 you took me saying that Cube doesn’t have these songs as a swipe at Cube’s catalog because you responded with emotions. I’m just simply telling you why they are not the same. If you think Cube is better then that’s subjective and I can’t argue against your preference. But I will argue against you every time when you say a BS narrative that Pac was just a copy of Cube. It makes no sense at all when Cube doesn’t have these type of songs in his catalog
LL said that when Q tip made the beat, LL thought of Em. I feel you Mike but I don’t think Q tip made this for Em specifically. It’s Dilla inspired with a Detroit synth bounce and happens to work for Em. Calling it wack is too far it’s not a bad track
@According2HipHop I think LL wanted to wash Em on his own platform. That eliminates excuses. You clearly didn’t understand Passion. The bar work on that is supreme. In fact, on EVERY song so far. Everything LL has done so far is laced with crazy double and triple and quadruple entendres. Difference with LL is he doesn’t make it obvious or overly simplistic.
Problem is how you define underrated, if we're talking in regards to mainstream rap, then I'd say G Rap is the most underrated ever, the guy basically created half the top rappers of the 90s and yet somehow never gets recognition for what he did in the late 80s/early 90s, hell most of the praise Rakim gets actually deserves to go to G Rap. Elz is definitely one of the most underrated rappers of all time though, I have him right up there with Locksmith as one of the best lyricists ever.
1. NY State of Mind 2. Nas is Like 3. Hate Me Now 4. It Ain’t Hard to Tell 5. Memory Lane 6. Take it In Blood 7. The World Is Yours 8. Made You Look 9. Street Dreams Remix 10. I Gave you Power 12. Got yourself a Gun 13. Your Da Man 14. The Message 15. Ether 16. Last Real Nigga Alive 17. One Mic 18. Thief’s Theme 19. Blaze a 50 20. The Cure
Feel like Stout meant that lyrics didn’t matter to the greater populace in the 90s when old heads try to act like that was the case, obviously to hardcore heads it did but there wasn’t as much of a “switch” as people think, it was always the case
Ancient Egypt was a dynamic civilization that made many advances as a society. They were a highly intelligent people whose innovations and lives influence and amaze the world to this day. However, their grave mistake was ignoring God's command to not place any gods before Him. And for that reason, God caused their epic fall off. The same is going to happen to all people who reject God, His Son, and Holy Spirit. I didn't make the rules, I just communicate them like God instructs all His true followers to do.
The historical proof concerning Ancient Egypt reflects idolatry, such as figurines, drawings and artifacts they replaced God with. This includes depictions of human bodies with frog heads, etc. They replaced God with pharaohs as well. So if that's the "proof" they wish to rock with as being superior to God, Jesus, Holy Spirit - good luck with the frogs, relics and the mummified pharaohs. They didn't save Ancient Egypt then, so anyone thinking they'll save people today is simply lost in every way. The Bible says what was going to happen to Ancient Egypt - and it happened. Where are their kingdoms now? Destroyed, in literal ruins - there's one piece of proof for those who will still deny the obvious. Ancient Egypt is simply a part of human history - the key word being history. The Kingdom of God is eternal.
yeah but Kendrick also got that certain lax to him yah. Songs like bitch don't kill my vibe, Die Hard don't come out of NYC (or at least from them introspective lyricists)
