Rest In Peace Big Stretch, Yaki Kadafi, The Notorious B.I.G. and 2pac. This song, is, was and will always be one of the BEST Hip Hop songs ever. The pictures the lyrics paint are just magical.
WTF are you talking about? How is Mo Bee underrated? Do you know how much love he got from Nas and so many other legends? Ya'll fools kill me with these dumb ass "underrated" comments. Ya'll learn about someone then all of a sudden feel like you have some knowledge. I wish ya'll would do some research before posting erroneous comments.
thats cos kids these days are spoiled. they all have smartphones etc even the poor kids. the real ghetto guys pre 2000 were brought up in the rough and as a result were diamonds in the rough
There's nothing more to say about Pac and Biggie, everything is told. These dudes are pioniers and poets. You can't be more honest and raw than these two lyricists. RIP Tupac Amaru Shakur RIP Christopher George Latore Wallace
That's good Ol' Marlon the same bitch ass along with Shawn' makein' excuses for rapist Bill Cosby The Wayans family all been down to those Sicko - Pedo - Diddy, Parties, the whole Hollyweird from Denzel Washington, Mario Lopez to Ashton Krutcher to his Kunis God what has the world come to word to the drms Pls! God stop all thos devils
32 thousand views ??? That kills me, this is no doubt one of the greatest rap tracks of all time and I bet the majority of the so called "rap followers" of today ain't even heard it...
what do you know about music. You don't even listen to Drake. if Drake was from the 90's all the rap artists would be scared of him. 90's music is overly hyped.
5thdawg Overhyped? No, the rap music from the 90s actually meant something. That is not to say there is plenty of rappers today that still are good like Cole, Lamar, and some other small time rappers. But many of them just rap about making that money and fucking women, And yea, I have listened to Drake, and he is ok. His songs again just don't mean anything, like some people put him up on some undeserved pedestal because he gave a diss track to an even worst rapper. And not to hate, but the diss track itself was wack compared to diss tracks in the past. Rappers from the 90s like Big had real talent, listen to Niggas Bleed for example. I can picture the things clear as day that biggie says in that song, like many others he made. But Drake? Hell no, what do I hear? Some dumb songs with some moving beat in the background. They aren't telling stories, or making statements. They just talk again about money and women. And if Drake was from the 90s rappers would laugh at him. Drake doesn't struggle. His diss track was not something to be "afraid of" It was just that Meek made an absolute dog shit rap that made Drake look like the better man. When in fact, both of them were wack. Hell drake doesn't even write his own music. Just goes to show that the majority of rappers from the 90s has much more talent then modern day rappers such as Drake.
In all of us trust me , he had left a big vacuum and hold in our lives believe me when i say this , People that likes or loves Pac is not because he is a rappet but because we have listened to his cries , tears , emotions, insecurities and felt those emotions and his lyrics his very relatable and eternal so fat life is still here , cheers to all of us
@Lamar Brown the government and illuminati made these 2 beef and then profited from their music n deaths. These 2 were too powerful and became a threat .
@@adamkhan5589 man STFU with that tin foil hat shit. He said she said made them beef after Pac got robbed. And you wanna come at someone about race shows what kind of pos u are
90s was rough, but most of us miss it. 90s had such a soulful music, and yet it had such a rough element 90s brought best era of Hip-Hop You didn't have cell phones, just your word that you will be there on time I was still a boy, but I played on a street, met friends this way. People would go talk to girls on the street, and met their future wives. In 2022 chicks love to give you their Instagram instead of their number It's nuts how fake this era is, and how real 90s was. I miss it, man. I miss it.
you're right but i still prefer today. I have a few friends from other countries that i never would've met pre internet so its good how connected we all are nowadays
I remember when I was 15 years old in 1998 buying a CD with six different versions of this song on it. It was raw. Pac and BIG are both fire on this track. I love on biggies verse when he says - that's why I bust back, it don't phase me. When he drops take his Glock and I'm Swayze - you can hear 2Pac in the background say -Yeah-. That's dope. He was feeling that.
Facts I always say that I love how you catch lil things like that 2 pac knew big was Ill and vice versa they were unreal together on a track..50 cent does the same thing when banks says cold shit
Jesus Christ is Lord God of all! God bless you all! Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is too difficult for the Lord our God, with Christ, ALL things are possible!
Every track Tupac and Biggie recorded had pac shine the brightest.....Biggie's verse was cool on this track....but Pac's verse.....on a whole other level....the emotion in his lyrics..
Easy Mo Bee, is hands down the most underrated producer in the game. When you see his credits, he is up there with Dre. It's fucking ridiculous his name isn't bigger
Because he's not a sell out. The music industry is run by dirty, evil people that pretty much require you to be a slave to be able to be a top name. Dre is a huge sell out. He's a fake.
We need an album of original Tupac songs. There's 100's of original songs, that will never see the light of day. Doesn't make sense why they don't release his original music.
100000% Agreed!!! Instead they release all those TERRIBLE remixed versions which lack that classic 2pac sound, and use modern Eminem style beats, which i hate.
It's all about sample clearances being either refused or too expensive. Unfortunately a lot of Pac's 96 Deathrow stuff used samples that were awaiting clearance before he could put them on albums
Paul Monistere I remember 99jamz in Miami played back in the days!!! Yo straight up lookin at my radio Yooooooo wtf what that??? I lost my damn mind!!!!
I'm as hardcore of a Pac fan as they come when it comes to og versions but em's version is amazing. Too often Pac fans feel the need to criticize all remade releases just to uphold the originals. I'm just glad that every time they redo an instrumental, it means we have more versions of a song to enjoy. Remember, most of Pac songs were never meant to be released the way he recorded it. They couldn't keep up with his ability to write songs so they had him rap over raw unfinished instrumentals
Eminem doesn't know how to play with the pitch. He was trying to rip off all the other producers at the time who are like pitch bending samples and whatnot but all Eminem stuff sounded like Chipmunks it was terrible and pretty amateur
Jeff Futrell - Pac's entire career? Not even in my top 20. 1. Hail Mary (Realist rap song ever) 2. So Many Tears 3. I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto 4. Changes 5. I Get Around
this single was the very first cd i ever bought.... it was 1997, i was 11 and the cd cost me 99c LOL i was very blessed to have a musically diverse mother who never oppressed me or my music taste. Props Mum! RIP PAC & BIGGIE
So I read that this song was originally supposed to be on the Thug Life album but at the time record labels were nervous about releasing music with "provoking" topics since the 1992 LA riots were still fresh in their minds so this song didn't make the cut. Then it was supposed to be included on Me Against the World, but then Pac was shot in NY and that was when he started suspecting Biggie's involvement so he ended up cutting the song from the track list. Honestly, I really wish this song had made it on to Me Against the World because I think it really would have fit. Specifically, I think it would have gone in between Young Niggaz and Heavy In the Game, I think that's where it would make the most sense for it to be sequenced.
mix is too rough to have made the cut of me against the world, if it was cleaner i could see this track being a closer for me against the world or at least a bonus track
I've been listening to this song for the past 15 years or so, keep coming back to it. Wish they would just officially release Pac's originals, no remixes, just raw Pac as he's meant to be heard
Easy Mo Bee is the Don.simple as that.the best Big ever sounded was to a mo bee produced track.and the best Pac ever sounded same.its a real shame Pac didn't work more with him.legends
The year was 1997, i was 12 years old. Listening to this as a young fella, loving it. The nostalgia..... Takes me back man. Primary School ( Elementary) I can still feel that feeling of being a youngin that has loved the beats since before then. The momeries I had before high school. Pure classic
I was bawling each time I heard they got blasted. I am West Coast and loved Big cuz of his flow no one could flow like him. And loved Pac cuz of the lyrics Pac was poet, gansta, thug, gentleman, and so much more at the same time. If we still had both of them right now we would still have some dope ass shit not this wanna be shit that we got
Right bk at'cha playa sending nuthin but luv and blessings to u and ur family all da way frm dwn south here in NC!!!..Pac will 4ver live thru muuhhfuckaz like us homie kp ur head up and stay strong homie in da words of Pac "after every dark night comes a brighter day"..
That's what I'm saying and it makes 1993 in hip-hop so special because it was before shit got stupid. They where both good friends until the shooting happened by 1995 things became dark and that was the end of of something that could have been magical. And just thank 2pac was supposed to be on Ready to die is crazy. I think 1993 was a special year in hip-hop because it was also before the West vs East war niggas had to choose a side. So now we was in that divide and conquer bag some time I wish I could set down after all these years and interview 2pac and Biggie but I'm afraid I can't do that now because I'm all grown up and there gone so the only thing I'm left with is memory thats it.
This might be my favorite track of all time -- Pac your body of work guided me through and taught me so many lessons as a child. For all the fatherless youth, thank you for everything you did and are still doing in 2019.
8/14/2022 I shed a tear for each one on this track! One of the greatest tracks EVER! Every artist killed it! Man, wtf happened to hip-hop/rap. I miss listening to new tracks, and feeling their pain, it's not like that no more. *Don't say you never heard of me till they murder me I'm a legend* R.I.P. To every mf on this track!
Este tema debería ser declarado himno mundial del rap hip hop y todas las weas, cantaban el futuro y nosotros oímos el pasado, leyendas vivientes descansen en paz donde quieran que estén, el legado que dejaron pasa de generación en generación, no hay raperos que ocupen el lugar de ustedes. CHILE🇨🇱
I remember finding this hidden gem on “the show” soundtrack as a kid, one of the greatest hidden and powerful tracks most haven’t discovered yet. It’s 2021 and this jam still provokes emotions in us all. #RIP PAC & BIG
This was NOT on the show soundtrack! I owned that cd 2-3 times! It had “me n my bitch” from big and “my block” from pac! Nothing else! Lol. Wtf u smoking!
@@ariesscar443 valid point! It’s on “one million strong” track 2. Either way I knew I had it. Rollin up some blue dream today, passing your way ese! Good catch !
@@jasoncarl601 yeah you right, someone pointed that out also. Regardless for my mistake on album/ title man these classic songs bang! And more need to know about em’ one time for hip hop!
Malcolm X was killed by his own people... the Nation of Islam. They're a dangerous cult. Now if you said MLK I would've agreed with you, he was almost certainly assassinated by the US government.
Dank Sinatra I thought so too but please watch the documentary that is on Netflix now because what really happened was a mosque out of New Jersey actually came to New York to the autobahn ballroom and did the hit and the feds knew about it because they were tracking his EVERY FUCKIN single move and that was the only time he did a rally/speech without the police presence in New York so they had him wired up completely so they knew it was coming but they want to have DIE so bad they didn’t do anything to stop it but that was definitely a hit by his own people from out of a New Jersey mosque I’m not going to give any more info but I please urge you to watch the Netflix documentary is definitely an eye opener.. but I will leave you with this last piece of information according to the documentary three people were arrested only one of them would actually involve the other two people were arrested at all two people sat in jail and write it for that time the feds knew they had two people who had nothing to do with it so did the nation and the one guy that they actually called he even later on in prison wrote the affidavit to his lawyer stating that the two people that were locked up for that murder with him were not involved at all but he didn’t give up names once again the government wanted him killed And once they found out what was going to go down on a day they forget hell we won’t get involved with his own people do the dirty work for us and that’s exactly what happened the documentary is called if I’m not mistaken who killed Malcolm X once again it’s on Netflix
I remember when this had only a few thousand views. Glad to see people checking this out, greatest rap songs of all time IMO. I believe everyone in this song is dead and if they were still alive they'd be in there late 40's, so sad.
when i first heard this track back in 2006 i was a young teen. The first thing i realised was how many dead niggaz are on this beat.. made me upset. Legends, all of them, especially 2pac's verse
A Biggie and 2pac album together would have changed the game.
Same for kendrick and jcole now

So I read that this song was originally supposed to be on the Thug Life album but at the time record labels were nervous about releasing music with "provoking" topics since the 1992 LA riots were still fresh in their minds so this song didn't make the cut. Then it was supposed to be included on Me Against the World, but then Pac was shot in NY and that was when he started suspecting Biggie's involvement so he ended up cutting the song from the track list. Honestly, I really wish this song had made it on to Me Against the World because I think it really would have fit. Specifically, I think it would have gone in between Young Niggaz and Heavy In the Game, I think that's where it would make the most sense for it to be sequenced.
Damn I wish this was on Me Against the World too
This would be so cold if it was on me against the world. Would definitely fit it sonically.
Pac was also being sued in TX by the police so Interscope said nope cant release this one
mix is too rough to have made the cut of me against the world, if it was cleaner i could see this track being a closer for me against the world or at least a bonus track
I had a boot legged CD with this song on it. 19 ninety something.
I've been listening to this song for the past 15 years or so, keep coming back to it. Wish they would just officially release Pac's originals, no remixes, just raw Pac as he's meant to be heard
pac killed it.. he has been singin from his soul
This is that song where u drive around on a night smokin a blunt
Rich Texas dawg literally me once a week at least
hell yeah, with some Thorazine
Through the tennessee streets all the time
Absolutely
Bro.. try doing it in a 96’ bmw 750iL in black! Nothin can match that shit let me tell ya, the vibe is legendary
Easy Mo Bee is the Don.simple as that.the best Big ever sounded was to a mo bee produced track.and the best Pac ever sounded same.its a real shame Pac didn't work more with him.legends
Easy Mo Bee captured the 90’s in his beats. This is track is a time capsule for me - lots of great memories while bumping this jam circa ‘96 - ‘97.
This here a classic ya heard me Pac was fire on here
Tupac came in and made u feel the energy as he paraphrases the scenario and the outmosphere as if you're there wit him
Almost everybody on this track is dead, without 2pac and Big hip hop is doomed. I hate this punk hip hop era the 90’s was the god era of music
Big facts
@Lamar Brown He said Almost
Facts and like u said music rap, alternative rock, hell even pop songs had more substance than today's shit
There are still some rappers with they own flavor how it should be. But the majority sell out to record companys and follow the same bullshit flow
@Paraone Ngatai i agree
Quite often when rappers collaborate they’ll leave the best verse for last .. this is absolutely true with this track
Only true Hip Hop fans love this version. Even then you “Hear Biggie and Feel Pac”. They can never be duplicated.
The REAL version for the REAL G's 👊🏽
You knoooowww!!!
Facts
The year was 1997, i was 12 years old. Listening to this as a young fella, loving it. The nostalgia.....
Takes me back man.
Primary School ( Elementary)
I can still feel that feeling of being a youngin that has loved the beats since before then. The momeries I had before high school.
Pure classic
I have never listened to this song without rewinding pacs verse. Easily the goat.
This just made my day, 2 of the GOATS to ever do it on the same track.
R.I.P 2Pac and B.I.G.🙏
We miss you and we need you now more than ever.
I was bawling each time I heard they got blasted. I am West Coast and loved Big cuz of his flow no one could flow like him. And loved Pac cuz of the lyrics Pac was poet, gansta, thug, gentleman, and so much more at the same time. If we still had both of them right now we would still have some dope ass shit not this wanna be shit that we got
All my true pac fans I have nothing but luv for Yall frfr
Right bk at'cha playa sending nuthin but luv and blessings to u and ur family all da way frm dwn south here in NC!!!..Pac will 4ver live thru muuhhfuckaz like us homie kp ur head up and stay strong homie in da words of Pac "after every dark night comes a brighter day"..
1 of the greatest hip hop songs of all time - change my mind :)
Amazing. RIP to the greatest rapper to ever walk this planet - Tupac Shakur
2pac FOREVER the GOAT!!!!You can hear the strength and power in his voice at all TIMES RIP my G 4ever
No doubt.
O
I pray this never gets taken down and that who ever sees this just know we all legends 👑
To be honest this is the greatest rap song to me, everyone went in so hard on this.this song should be on the radar
They all snapped.one of my all time favorite songs.Can't be a true pac fan without respecting biggies flow.DEM BOYS WERE MONSTERS TOGETHER.
yeah these two together where like God and Satan
That's what I'm saying and it makes 1993 in hip-hop so special because it was before shit got stupid. They where both good friends until the shooting happened by 1995 things became dark and that was the end of of something that could have been magical. And just thank 2pac was supposed to be on Ready to die is crazy. I think 1993 was a special year in hip-hop because it was also before the West vs East war niggas had to choose a side. So now we was in that divide and conquer bag some time I wish I could set down after all these years and interview 2pac and Biggie but I'm afraid I can't do that now because I'm all grown up and there gone so the only thing I'm left with is memory thats it.
Always loved Pacs verse on this song, it takes me back to 8th grade when this was poppin. I miss the 90's man.
God Tupac goes hard in this. So does biggie. Beautiful time capsule of when they were friends
This might be my favorite track of all time -- Pac your body of work guided me through and taught me so many lessons as a child. For all the fatherless youth, thank you for everything you did and are still doing in 2019.
I could listen to this melody for hours and never get tired nothing like the good old days with original Beats
Damn these dudes had so much power at a young age. #20s
Easy Mo Bee on the beat..
Izy was the first rapper track on this album.
@@MAC-by7ys easymobee
There will never be another rapper like Pac
facts
This is my first time I’ve heard the original man wow it’s just wow.
Fuck Em. This the real. Shout out Mo Bee
I remember finding this track on Napster or Kazaa way back when, before Em dropped his version... This track is a gem right here n im glad i found it.
@@wogdiddy4468 Same for me, but I used Ares and Limewire.
Everyone spit fire on that track!!! Pac rode and wrangled it up tho!!
One of the hardest pac verses in this hidden gem
Remember this version as a kid back in the early 2000’s. Fucking classic!
so sad to see 2 dudes that honestly changed the world. they died way before they time. much love and respect! so sad that they gone...
This track is one of the greatest's in hip hop history. You know I'm right.
90s was such a great era wish I could go back in time and spend a few days sometimes...haha
Realizniguhnit 1 No Facebook status updates tho
Me 2 100%

We lived different but we had a better quality of life.
Tupac had an UNDERRATED flow! GOAT!
EASY MO BEE MOST UNDERRATED PRODUCER OF ALL TIME

I shed a tear for each one on this track!
One of the greatest tracks EVER!
Every artist killed it!
Man, wtf happened to hip-hop/rap. I miss listening to new tracks, and feeling their pain, it's not like that no more.
*Don't say you never heard of me till they murder me I'm a legend*
R.I.P. To every mf on this track!
This is the first track I ever heard in the genre that made me sit down and actually listen and respect.
Este tema debería ser declarado himno mundial del rap hip hop y todas las weas, cantaban el futuro y nosotros oímos el pasado, leyendas vivientes descansen en paz donde quieran que estén, el legado que dejaron pasa de generación en generación, no hay raperos que ocupen el lugar de ustedes.
CHILE🇨🇱
I remember finding this hidden gem on “the show” soundtrack as a kid, one of the greatest hidden and powerful tracks most haven’t discovered yet. It’s 2021 and this jam still provokes emotions in us all. #RIP PAC & BIG
No doubt ✊
This was NOT on the show soundtrack! I owned that cd 2-3 times! It had “me n my bitch” from big and “my block” from pac! Nothing else! Lol. Wtf u smoking!
@@ariesscar443 valid point! It’s on “one million strong” track 2. Either way I knew I had it. Rollin up some blue dream today, passing your way ese! Good catch !
The show was a different song from pac named my block!!!!!!
@@jasoncarl601 yeah you right, someone pointed that out also. Regardless for my mistake on album/ title man these classic songs bang! And more need to know about em’ one time for hip hop!
Ahhhh this one song would destroy a rappers whole career
Euphanasia WHAT!?! You called that shit! Lmao
NOOOOO
FUCKIN DOUBT SON
They took Tupac like they took Malcolm X and anybody else that stood for something it's much more than music open your eyes young brothers
Malcolm X was the first Muslim hate preacher
It life about world in this life
STFU!!
Malcolm X was killed by his own people... the Nation of Islam. They're a dangerous cult. Now if you said MLK I would've agreed with you, he was almost certainly assassinated by the US government.
Dank Sinatra
I thought so too but please watch the documentary that is on Netflix now because what really happened was a mosque out of New Jersey actually came to New York to the autobahn ballroom and did the hit and the feds knew about it because they were tracking his EVERY FUCKIN single move and that was the only time he did a rally/speech without the police presence in New York so they had him wired up completely so they knew it was coming but they want to have DIE so bad they didn’t do anything to stop it but that was definitely a hit by his own people from out of a New Jersey mosque I’m not going to give any more info but I please urge you to watch the Netflix documentary is definitely an eye opener.. but I will leave you with this last piece of information according to the documentary three people were arrested only one of them would actually involve the other two people were arrested at all two people sat in jail and write it for that time the feds knew they had two people who had nothing to do with it so did the nation and the one guy that they actually called he even later on in prison wrote the affidavit to his lawyer stating that the two people that were locked up for that murder with him were not involved at all but he didn’t give up names once again the government wanted him killed And once they found out what was going to go down on a day they forget hell we won’t get involved with his own people do the dirty work for us and that’s exactly what happened the documentary is called if I’m not mistaken who killed Malcolm X once again it’s on Netflix
I remember when this had only a few thousand views. Glad to see people checking this out, greatest rap songs of all time IMO. I believe everyone in this song is dead and if they were still alive they'd be in there late 40's, so sad.
Everything about this track is pure perfection. EVERYTHING.
Masters in their prime. Music you can feel.
Agree this track is an Masterpiece
You need to listen the krysis remix . Awesome too
when i first heard this track back in 2006 i was a young teen. The first thing i realised was how many dead niggaz are on this beat.. made me upset. Legends, all of them, especially 2pac's verse
5thDawg you's a bitch
no time for sex, cause I'm my mind all I'm askin is who's next nigga
mary boyd Don't say you never heard of me, til they murder me, I'm a legend. Do thug niggaz go to heaven?
Fred DeShield Dopest part of his verse
5thDawg hardest line ever
"I ain't got NOTHING ON MY MINNNNNNNND but getting in some trouble"... Sorry!... this is one of the best opening bars ever!
This sound will always be timeless. Classic.
What an underrated track... amazing!
The Best Version…Hands Down
If you grew up in the projects your feeling pacs verse hard!!! Chills down my spine!
everyone in this song went hard
Rest In Beats Pac, Biggie, Yaki, Fatal, Big Stretch & Craig Mack.
“Showed they toes you know they got stepped on, fist full of bullets ah chest fulla teflon” BIG was serious on the mic
Break it down, what is he saying?
