    "Pac died at 25, Biggie died a year younger,
    All my life been broke, I'm motivated by my hunger,
    Told my mama bury me with a 3-57
    Just incase God trip and I don't get into heaven"
    Best part

    It is the year 2024...I am now 30 years old. I think I first saw this when I was in middle school. And as a spoken word artist myself, this is still my favorite poem. Still thinking of you Pat and sharing this piece.

    "life's a bitch right from the start, that's why you come out your momma cryin". "Told my mom to burry me with a 3-57 just in case God trip and I don't get into heaven". Two of the most realist verses I have ever heard in my entire life! I get goosebumps everytime I hear em.

Pats Justice you killed this, you inspired me as a little Cali kid, one of the only westcoast rappers who made it on Def Poetry Jam, the Westcoast Lyrical emcee has had it hard in the 2000s, “I had a lotta pain in my heart, that’s why I started to rap” me too Pats Justice! Thank you for inspiring the next generation of spitters. I rap the way I do because of people like u! HIPHOP WILL NEVER DIE it’s in our #ancestry

    It's 2020 & I'm still watching this 🔥 artist. He knows his future, cause he knows his past. They used to show this on HBO on Friday's after school. Now it's unfortunate that today's generation doesn't have show's like this anymore.

    • @Akilahfoye
      @Akilahfoye 3 роки тому

      watching as many clips as I can in 2021. I know, used to stay up to watch this on HBO. With the "woke" generation now, I wonder if many would understand the messages of spoken word / poetry. ANd understand the fight for equity is a continuous one, maybe never-ending.
