No. Would it have been dope as fuck for them to, knowing it would've been colossal? Well, of course.

Same. I'm from Indy and went to Jackson State. Same thing, I use to tutor at this elementary school and a young kid came in saying "my mom said Pac got shot". No social media I'm thinking, his mom must have been talking about 94. Later we played I think Gramblin or someone in the swac. Announcement that Pac died. We had a moment of silence, the band played "I ain't mad at Cha". Later that night, women crying on the campus, the mood was shock mode.

@@DyoungOG3 I agree. I don't value that opinion at all. Anyone that says that must not have listened to the albums in full and if they have, they're trippin. This man has created such solid albums over the years, it's such a weird opinion to me.
I’m from New Jersey I never got into that east coast west coast stuff I just listened to the music. Tupac’s music spoke to me differently it was a message given in it that needed to be heard he was speaking to the ghettos children back then as a kid listening to his music I didn’t feel so alone and he understood everything I was going through it was like an older brother or homie giving you the game and telling you everything will be alright. Damn I miss you RIP Makaveli the Don.
To me that's why Pac is still celebrated worldwide to this day. People from different cultures and races can relate to his music because it speaks to the soul
@@issajoke2437 there's so many 'Pac songs where I feel like he's literally speaking directly to me. It's a talent very very few artists have. The ability to make the listener feel special, feel wanted, feel welcomed into the journey.
Who can possibly doubt this guy isn't the greatest who ever did it? I get chills and reminisce about the days I would wait for his albums to drop at the store
This album's so good, I'm actively trying to play music from other artists to avoid overplaying it and getting burnt out. Its been the only thing on rotation on my playlist. Thank you Nas and Hit Boy.
Check Hitboy's tweets, there's one that mentions this song specifically. He says he studied Johnny J's production style to craft this beat to give it a 'Pac-like sound. 🤯 Nailed it.

Todays generation doesn't understand anything. 90s gen can go back and bump the 80s and flow right thru the 2000s and get it. Today's gen is lost in my op
I'm 45. I met both PAC and Nas. Both times on the street in passing. Just daps and keep it moving. Both seem cool. Losing PAC made me lost my west coast artist groove but Nas kept me in hip hop.
I thought I was the only one.Powerful! R.i.p 2pac MakavelithaDon, Ermias NiphussleThaGreat, Patrice O Neal, Prodigy Earl Dmx, Gonzoe and all the other REAL soldiers we lost too soon 🤍🕊🙏
Nas is a lyrical genius🔥🔥🔥The excitement that I felt yesterday when your new music popped up🙌🏾I grew up listening to you. I had to go take a ride just to bump your new tracks. 🔥🔥🔥
Album has only been out a few weeks and spins of this track are approaching four digits. I can’t stop listening to this track. So mind blowing to hear Nas finally speak on the situation between him and Pac.
Much respect for Nas... it dawned on Nas that Pac wasn't just thugging and that Pac was a lyrical warlord trying to change something that's certainly not right... that was the same day both of them almost killed themselves on issues about their short term beef. Nas then realised that both he & Pac, were actually soldiers on the same struggle. If Pac was still alive, they would have been the biggest flocks that the rap game ever experienced. Pac and Nas are actually the greatest 🙌 in rap history. Respect!!!
Nas puts a Major part of the history of rap music on this record. The events that occurred between 93-96 had major repercussions for the genre and its effects are still being felt till this day. RIP Tupac RIP Notorious BIG
It’s crazy because I was just thinking about how Pac called majority of east coast out when I was a child, even Nas. This song is like the closure I needed to understand Nas’ perspective.
Loved that Nas cleared the record, finally. That whole saga of Pac vs Nas was tough on fans like myself, who appreciated both artists. I'm glad they squashed it before Pac died.
They squashed the beef and people don't understand how young they were when they squashed it Nas was like 22-23 and pac was like 24-25 . Dudes these days got so much ego at that age that they're not squashing a beef due to ego and lack of maturity. Says alot about those two being wiser than their age.
Nas’ “King’s Disease 2” is like an effervescent Romance that is not built on lust… Nostalgic. It builds, grows on you after deep appreciative listening, re-listening, attentiveness, presence and time. Hits you in spaces only excavateable via high perceptivity. Not to be slept on, and for special ears. 🙏🏾👑❣️
@@dorianpaisley-smith303 look a little further into it homie. Napoleon from the outlaws was right beside pac when it happen. Snoop wasn’t even there. Nas and Pac had a conversation about squashing the beef. Both sides had men with them, Nas with his New York back up, and pac also had New York back up along with hoods from New Jersey. They were both ready if anything popped off. Napoleon went on record saying snoop is wrong and that he wasn’t even there to begin with. Nas also said Pac had hella back up as well.
_RIP to The Don Killuminati._ Edit: *this track right here, proves that Tupac is your favourite rapper's favourite rapper. Nas just documented history on wax.* _Nasir Jones the G.O.A.T. thank you._
And Nas was one of Pacs favorite rappers, along with C-bo, but they all said he was studying It Was Written intently. I don't know why it takes 25 years but this is closure.
@@walterfrisbee9878 Did we listen to the same hook? Moreover, how is addressing Stretch situation considered "paying homage" If youwant an example of "paying homage" _go listen to 3rd verse of EPMD 2._ don't conflict the two bro. *Don't embarrass yourself.*
Nas is the GOAT. You can listen to any artist you want and compare the lyricism and discographys and Nas will come out on top every single time if you actually enjoy music. Greatest of all time man
NEGATIVE. It's an issue "real" Hip-Hop heads have been arguing/beefin'/complaining about for decades. His beat selections is mad suspect but unfortunately for him (and Redman), it's part of being a dope MC.
Fr That shit died years ago. He's been having dope bests & plus all his old shit has aged much better than most rappers catalog For the main reason that he chose those beats. Alot of rappers chose good beats for that moment era But Nas chose beats that never get old, no radio shit mainstream type beats, straight street shit. I can go on about this topic but I made my point.
Nas has been involved in some of Hip Hops most pivotal moments. 1. Death Row East (during the 90's) 2. Beef with Jay. 3. Reconciliation with Jay 4. When he hopped on the remix of J Coles "Let Nas Down" 5. Releasing this song. Like these are all goosebump moments in hip hop.

*I remember the exact spot I was at when Pac was killed. This song is giving me a great amount of energy and nostalgia effect. I was staying at the flamingo that night and I just remembered looking out the window from the top floor. My room was 18744 and I was seeing tons of police and and ambulance rushing down the strip to aid we know who back in 96 but at the time that it was occuring I didn't think nothing of it....it hurts knowing that it was Pac. Rest in Peace*

The true gospel is the good news of the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, it is concerning who Christ is and what He did to save His elect only. The gospel includes the how and why, which can only be seen by faith. It is a message that declares how the eternal Son of God came down, took on a body of sinless flesh (John 1:14) as He was born of a virgin (Mat 1:23). He was both God and man in one Person. He was born under the Law to keep and fulfill it (Mat 5:18, Gal 4:4). He did that, not for Himself, but for all those He represented because they could not keep it themselves. The word of God calls these people the elect or His sheep, among several other names. His obedient life also included the part of dying. He took on the sin of His people as both a Substitute and Representative of those people. The Bible said He was "made to be sin" (II Cor 5:21) and the way that was done is by God imputing (legally reckoned or charged to the account of) sin to Christ. That means all the sin of all those people God chose was "laid on Him" (Isaiah 53:6). This sin was legally transferred to His account and He then owned it in such a way to be guilty of it all. God the Father poured out His wrath and hatred toward sin on His Son and had pleasure (Isaiah 53:10) in doing so, in that, He was completely satisfied in Christ as a Sacrifice that met all the demands of His strict Law and inflexible justice. Christ finished the work of paying the penalty of the Law and then said " It is finished" (John 19:30). He secured salvation for all God’s chosen people that would even be born. His resurrection is evidence of the acceptance of His sacrifice to the Father. The combined work of His obedience to the Law and His obedience unto death on the cross was considered establishing righteousness. This is what one of the Old Testament prophets prophesied as "bringing in an everlasting righteousness" (Daniel 9:24) as Christ died effectually and exclusively for those chosen of God before the world began (Eph 1:4). This righteousness is what God imputes to His people in the context of giving the life to believe in Christ. This puts them in a state called "Justification" and as a result they are eternally secure, in Christ. This is the gospel (Rom 1:16-17). All this takes place in such a way to show God as both a God of justice and a Savior. This is how grace reigns through righteousness (Rom 5:21)
I got chills. This hit different cause I was out and about during that era. Clubbing, concerts...all that. Lived through the music, mythology, the death of our Kyngs. WOW! The haunting melody - this hit different. To all those that are still here, SALUTE🖤🖤🖤🖤

I’m from New Jersey I never got into that east coast west coast stuff I just listened to the music. Tupac’s music spoke to me differently it was a message given in it that needed to be heard he was speaking to the ghettos children back then as a kid listening to his music I didn’t feel so alone and he understood everything I was going through it was like an older brother or homie giving you the game and telling you everything will be alright. Damn I miss you RIP Makaveli the Don.
I was the same in the 90s i feel you. I’m from Union County Plainfield New Jersey
To me that's why Pac is still celebrated worldwide to this day. People from different cultures and races can relate to his music because it speaks to the soul
@@issajoke2437 there's so many 'Pac songs where I feel like he's literally speaking directly to me. It's a talent very very few artists have. The ability to make the listener feel special, feel wanted, feel welcomed into the journey.

I was listening with my phone on my pocket and yet I saw the entire story Nas was rapping about. Best lyricist dead or alive!
Master class 🖋
U the best definition of beautiful too lol
Album has only been out a few weeks and spins of this track are approaching four digits. I can’t stop listening to this track. So mind blowing to hear Nas finally speak on the situation between him and Pac.
Much respect for Nas... it dawned on Nas that Pac wasn't just thugging and that Pac was a lyrical warlord trying to change something that's certainly not right... that was the same day both of them almost killed themselves on issues about their short term beef.
Nas then realised that both he & Pac, were actually soldiers on the same struggle.
If Pac was still alive, they would have been the biggest flocks that the rap game ever experienced.
Pac and Nas are actually the greatest 🙌 in rap history.
Respect!!!
@@SuperBreaker7 BIG was nice but he was not on Makaveli Nas level. Just my honest opinion.
Absolutely agree.
Lol
💯💯💪
Nas puts a Major part of the history of rap music on this record. The events that occurred between 93-96 had major repercussions for the genre and its effects are still being felt till this day.
RIP Tupac
RIP Notorious BIG
It’s crazy because I was just thinking about how Pac called majority of east coast out when I was a child, even Nas. This song is like the closure I needed to understand Nas’ perspective.
He agreed to take the nas disses off makaveli after they had the confrontation/sit down but he died & suge released it as is
@Doctor Sleep yup, because 2pac went hard on EVERYBODY. I just wanted to hear Nas’ perspective explained on song
@@dhu55ein9 ok, Pac was going to remove the disses, but didn’t get to change the songs before he died. Thanks for explaining that
This was a masterpiece, Nas is the greatest
People wanted this man to retire.
He's hittin a new stride.
1:32 i love this part🔥🔥🔥 the voice overlay is so good!!🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Loved that Nas cleared the record, finally. That whole saga of Pac vs Nas was tough on fans like myself, who appreciated both artists. I'm glad they squashed it before Pac died.
Name 1 rapper that had beef with Pac, Big and Jay but still stands the test of time. Ain't no other but NAS.
Nas stopping his show to show respect for 2PAC when he got killed despite the things 2Pac said about him showed just how big Nas' character is.
Respect / 2pac fan👑 they squashed the beef before he died
They squashed the beef and people don't understand how young they were when they squashed it Nas was like 22-23 and pac was like 24-25 . Dudes these days got so much ego at that age that they're not squashing a beef due to ego and lack of maturity. Says alot about those two being wiser than their age.
2pac had him shook hommie
They had already talked about it before he died.
@@sero9878 ❤❤❤❤
"But he was still alive in the hospital And it rained that day in Vegas" That's it for me.

Nas is a living legend Im feeling that Stillmatic vibes right now
Lake was in jail when that shit almost popped off in 96. He is talking about eric B
Nas’ “King’s Disease 2” is like an effervescent Romance that is not built on lust… Nostalgic. It builds, grows on you after deep appreciative listening, re-listening, attentiveness, presence and time. Hits you in spaces only excavateable via high perceptivity. Not to be slept on, and for special ears. 🙏🏾👑❣️
Best review I've ever read lol
Well put🔥
An elegant take
Great review. You should critique my music
Very well said
This shit so hard it almost brings tears to my eyes
So legendary
Snoop talks about the story when pac was on nas' face. If nas said the word pac was done. But he let him slide
@@dorianpaisley-smith303 look a little further into it homie. Napoleon from the outlaws was right beside pac when it happen. Snoop wasn’t even there. Nas and Pac had a conversation about squashing the beef. Both sides had men with them, Nas with his New York back up, and pac also had New York back up along with hoods from New Jersey. They were both ready if anything popped off. Napoleon went on record saying snoop is wrong and that he wasn’t even there to begin with. Nas also said Pac had hella back up as well.

_Nasir Jones the G.O.A.T. thank you._
Stop it! Don't over dramatize the situation like some morning shock jock. He merely paying homage to Pac.
And Nas was one of Pacs favorite rappers, along with C-bo, but they all said he was studying It Was Written intently. I don't know why it takes 25 years but this is closure.
Right. Nas always name dropping Pac, its love tho
@@walterfrisbee9878 Did we listen to the same hook? Moreover, how is addressing Stretch situation considered "paying homage"
If youwant an example of "paying homage" _go listen to 3rd verse of EPMD 2._ don't conflict the two bro. *Don't embarrass yourself.*
@Kingsley AyeniYet this thread is about him and Pac. I said what I said, get out your feelings or go cry about it. Lol
Nas is the GOAT. You can listen to any artist you want and compare the lyricism and discographys and Nas will come out on top every single time if you actually enjoy music. Greatest of all time man
Absolutely! The quality and depth of his catalog is unmatched.
Nas has some of the most legendary beats I don’t know what they talking about !
NEGATIVE. It's an issue "real" Hip-Hop heads have been arguing/beefin'/complaining about for decades. His beat selections is mad suspect but unfortunately for him (and Redman), it's part of being a dope MC.
Fr That shit died years ago. He's been having dope bests & plus all his old shit has aged much better than most rappers catalog For the main reason that he chose those beats. Alot of rappers chose good beats for that moment era But Nas chose beats that never get old, no radio shit mainstream type beats, straight street shit. I can go on about this topic but I made my point.
It’s Vlad’s bitch ass that started this pointless topic, Nas got countless sick beats!
Legendary? Nigga are are u serious? Errrrrbody knows Nas beat selection is suspect. His pen is what saves it.
@@DubCnot sure who Vlad is but I agree with him
Nas has been involved in some of Hip Hops most pivotal moments.
1. Death Row East (during the 90's)
2. Beef with Jay.
3. Reconciliation with Jay
4. When he hopped on the remix of J Coles "Let Nas Down"
5. Releasing this song.
Like these are all goosebump moments in hip hop.

*I remember the exact spot I was at when Pac was killed. This song is giving me a great amount of energy and nostalgia effect. I was staying at the flamingo that night and I just remembered looking out the window from the top floor. My room was 18744 and I was seeing tons of police and and ambulance rushing down the strip to aid we know who back in 96 but at the time that it was occuring I didn't think nothing of it....it hurts knowing that it was Pac. Rest in Peace*

I was watching Ren & Stimpy
I remember I was 17 and at work I swear I started crying
From Vegas we were shooting hoops when the announcement came on the radio he died we went down to UMC smh wild times

"Lookin' through a fresh lens. Everything I know now, wish I knew back then, like it was only so much time left... Before Machiavelli the Don left!" - Sick bars! Gets me every time. Never gets old.

Knew this would be historic from the name alone
This is just absolute perfection. Cant help but just keep it on repeat. This pressure and my bible are my favorite
The true gospel is the good news of the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, it is concerning who Christ is and what He did to save His elect only. The gospel includes the how and why, which can only be seen by faith.
It is a message that declares how the eternal Son of God came down, took on a body of sinless flesh (John 1:14) as He was born of a virgin (Mat 1:23). He was both God and man in one Person.
He was born under the Law to keep and fulfill it (Mat 5:18, Gal 4:4). He did that, not for Himself, but for all those He represented because they could not keep it themselves. The word of God calls these people the elect or His sheep, among several other names.
His obedient life also included the part of dying. He took on the sin of His people as both a Substitute and Representative of those people. The Bible said He was "made to be sin" (II Cor 5:21) and the way that was done is by God imputing (legally reckoned or charged to the account of) sin to Christ. That means all the sin of all those people God chose was "laid on Him" (Isaiah 53:6). This sin was legally transferred to His account and He then owned it in such a way to be guilty of it all.
God the Father poured out His wrath and hatred toward sin on His Son and had pleasure (Isaiah 53:10) in doing so, in that, He was completely satisfied in Christ as a Sacrifice that met all the demands of His strict Law and inflexible justice. Christ finished the work of paying the penalty of the Law and then said " It is finished" (John 19:30). He secured salvation for all God’s chosen people that would even be born. His resurrection is evidence of the acceptance of His sacrifice to the Father.
The combined work of His obedience to the Law and His obedience unto death on the cross was considered establishing righteousness. This is what one of the Old Testament prophets prophesied as "bringing in an everlasting righteousness" (Daniel 9:24) as Christ died effectually and exclusively for those chosen of God before the world began (Eph 1:4).
This righteousness is what God imputes to His people in the context of giving the life to believe in Christ. This puts them in a state called "Justification" and as a result they are eternally secure, in Christ. This is the gospel (Rom 1:16-17).
All this takes place in such a way to show God as both a God of justice and a Savior. This is how grace reigns through righteousness (Rom 5:21)
Thought it was just me.
Much Much Much love and respect to Nas, things like this are the reason why you and Pac are my two favorite rappers. Makaveli rest in power...
