"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.
mhmm, don't think we may last as a species if we don't slow down on the exploitation of people, animal, plant and natural resources...but hey, two rich yt guys shot themselves into the upper atmosphere this year 2021, woohoo, while everyone else chokes on the fumes from their rocket ships...
i don’t know why this has been on my heart, I watched this as a child, all week this performance has been on my mind!! 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
Inspired by a verse from “ White Man’z🌍World “………Makaveli LP. “ Hop’in They Bury Me With Ammunition, Weed, & Shells Just In Case They Case Trip In Heaven, Ain’t No G’s In Hell “…………
The world is a better place because you exist! I'm a teacher, my students will see this...I promise you that. What you have to say matters that much! Add your name to the greats, you've already made a difference. Thank you for lending your brilliance and your voice to a group that has never had one..."The Innocent Criminal'- You sir- RIPPED Rap :)!
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.
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.
+deebeautiful84 I could be wrong. I could have sworn I seen something about him passing away in a documentary. I been trying to find recent videos of him and nothing shows up. I Googled and nothing. I could be wrong
"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"

Honestly, I think they took this show off the air bc it spoke too much realness lol
i believe it
Right on point they don't want people hearing truth he speaking some real shit
