@@clarencecollins400 That New York hatred still exists to this day, it’s just expressed more subtly. Whenever they create a list of the Greatest Groups or MC’s, it’s mysteriously only people from New York. They always attempt to discredit Southern Rappers by saying they’re not lyricist, Westcoast Rappers by claiming they were originally from the Eastcoast, via Tupac, Kurupt, & Ice-T. They continuously create some type of technicality to disqualify anybody that’s not from New York for Greatness. New Yorkers have always been bias towards people from other areas out of arrogance.
Yup pac lived in ATL for 2 years back and forth and when he got to deathrow bought his mama a house in Stone mountain and when he passed he was closing on some land in DeKalb to build a compound he was gonna call thugz mansion. He had love for all the southern rappers he came in contact with. Goes to show he wasn't a hater as long as you was black he wanted you to win
What's crazy is Pimp C did that hook about 30yrs ago..Z Ro & Devin the Dude were also responsible for pioneering that sound in the South.. now that melodic-flow style is all we hear these days..they just use autotune
@@dmxisbetterthantupac6528 just when the hell X went at tupac when x wasn't even mentioned of when Pac was hot😂😂 get yo wack country ass the fuck outta here 😂😂😂😂
That's a fact and most East Coast acts been hating on each other the South,the Midwest & California since the early 90's. That's why it's good to be a universal person. #GAME RECOGNIZE GAME!
People been talking about Tupac’s death since 1996, conspiracy theories and whatnot. Big Mike just broke the whole damn thing down in a few minutes with real logic and OG wisdom.
Lol that ain't no logic or wisdom no offence. What he just said is just a theory like any other & what every other person seems to be blindly repeating lately. Logic shows its deeper than that fight in the mgm I guess what you're calling conspiracy theories.
@snoop Kelly You don’t know what people be listening to and that’s what this post did I strikes the convo and gave someone the opportunity to share what they like and listen to , Conversation has to start somewhere and nobody was sharing with your ass you numb🥜
I got in trouble for singing "Playa Playa." My Daddy was like, "Young lady you're too young to be saying those words and lyrics." It's 2021, and I still listen to "Something Serious." I just love classic country rap tunes!!
Thats how it was in NYC back then in the early nineties I would rock songs from scarface and geto boys but alot of new york heads was not up on it with the exception of mind playing tricks Big mike and outkast was slept on in NYC back in 94...biggie nas and method man drop there debut albums and NYC was buzzing off that
On Gawd this nigga was the very FIRST rapper I ever heard as a kid. My pops was connected to him when we lived in Houston & I DISTINCTLY remember hearing "Peterman" as a 3 year old in the back of my daddy Explorer. Mane a real legend.
Ehh I wouldn't say that. It's a few people like Jada (despite what people say about her), E-40, treach, mutah, yaki, kastro ect that really knew him. 😊
Was 50% of the south making rap music in the 80s??🤔😝(No). Enter the 90s! All ATL had was TLC!(still no rap...besides Lefteye). Then we get JD walking around a mall looking for a rap group he can form. Enter Kriss Kross Totally Krossed Out album. It was a great album...but, JD wrote it. That's all of 92 in ATL. Outkast dropped later in 95. Give me 5 classic Hip Hop albums from the south before 95. The South snapped in 1998. The East been snapped. The West been snapped. Where was y'all ATL artist in the 80s and early 90s(besides Kriss Kross in 92)!?

@@keithjohnson823 True indeed. West coast always showed love to the south. Most people in California came from Tennessee & Mississippi including my fam in Compton.
@@datniggaeazye.5968 Those are cool. I'm talking about ATL tho. Outkast Aquemini is better then all those albums tho(by a long shot). The Diary only great song is Hands Of a Dead Body. Grip it album Mind of a Lunatic is the best song. Get Up Get Out radio version is better then the album version. Those albums as a whole aren't classics to me(maybe you). 8ball best album is 1998 Lost. I still think the south best albums are from 1998/99. Big Mike Hard To Hit from 99 is way better then Something Serious from 95. Juvenile made NY cats listen to the South. He got booed in 1998 in the Tunnel in Manhattan. 1999 hit and he blew up in NY
Summer 1994 visiting family members in Mississippi I'll remember my older cousin down there taking me to the record store with him and going to buy big mike first tape I'm serious , when I went back home I went to Tanya's records on Gratiot and Harper in Detroit and buying that tape I was 1 2 years old great memories
I got a similar story my homie went to mississippi for a family reunion in 95-96 not sure of exact year he came back with Master p Down south hustlers tape and I been bout it since .
@@Ktown4500 LOL man we ain't going to talk chi town bro i spent a summer there wit my auntie that shit was crazy that was in 96 lol I got family on the south side in Chicago
There's a lot of similarities between 2pac's strictly 4 my niggaz/Thug life albums and Big Mikes somethin serious, between the sound, production and their flows. They could of swapped beats and the music still would of slapped.
Big Mike having that smooth southern rap. Man I brought my first Big Mike CD, I was in the ATL in the early mid 90's and brought that to Indy it was ON!
One of the dopest Big Mike's classic albums nonetheless. Hard to Hit, Heads Like Us, 1000 Guns, Twirk It, Sunday Morning & How You Want with Outlawz are my favorite joints off the album 💯🔥
Much love B High for this interview! 🙏🏾 First got wind of Big Mike when he was one half of The Convicts with 3-2(RIP). Didn't really start to notice him more untill he replaced Willie D of the Geto Boys for the "Till Death Do Us Part" album . Both albums "Somethin' Serious" and "Still Serious" are classics!!!
Legend 🔥 Glad to see Big Mike doing well 💪🏾 I burned up his first 2 solo CD's and every verse he kicked on TIl Death Do Us Apart with the Ghetto Boyz was hard.
S/o to Big Mike...but we all know Pac was a gangster at the end of the day. If you touch my homie we going roll on you. Period!!! Now there's a cause and effect for every reaction but Pac was just keeping it G to the end. These artist nowadays wouldn't break a nail but that's the difference in Pac and new artist he kept it real til death I love it💯 LLPac greatest rapper of all time. When he stood on something he really stood on something not just talking!!!!
Big Mike had the line that changed my life in playa playa...she playing you for the money you playing her for the drawlz she takes your money and brings it to me I'm playing both of y'all...right then I knew I wasn't the one to get played...
This is coincidence because I been listening to a lot of Tupac thug life and death row era music and I didn't know he was feature on so many songs that still BANG!!!!
That was my introduction to big Mike on that til death do us part His verses on there really stood out...unfortunately I never paid to much attention to his solo career
