I think Pac's "So Many Tears" is the best Hip Hop beat of all time

[Imgone8itch]

Up there with Str8 Ballin and It Ain't Easy in terms of best Pac beats

It ain't easy

 

[MKIH.]

Top 5 PAC song imo

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

My favorite song of alltime

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

Nah...



This song and beat is timeless because there is a soul in it. Pete Rock took a simple loop of one of my favorite samples (Tom Scott-Today) and brought life to it. The horns, the harmony of the background singers in the filter, and the the drums to carry the beat through a song about losing a close friend. I can keep the loop on the song for a complete hour and the shyt gets better and better.

I'm still waiting for a beat that actually affects me emotionally, spiritually, and mentally like T.R.O.Y. The closest song to meet that caliber is ATCQ- Lost Somebody.

Awesome, soulful beat....Shed So Many Tears is more haunting, tho.

It's the blues for real.Icy Cold

"Now I'm lost and I'm weary, so many tears
I'm suicidal, so don't stand near me
My every move is a calculated step, to bring me closer
to embrace an early death, now there's nothin left
There was no mercy on the streets, I couldn't rest
I'm barely standin, bout to go to pieces, screamin peace
And though my soul was deleted, I couldn't see it
I had my mind full of demons tryin to break free
They planted seeds and they hatched, sparkin the flame
inside my brain like a match, such a dirty game
No memories, just a misery
Paintin a picture of my enemies killin me, in my sleep
Will I survive til the mo'nin, to see the sun
Please Lord forgive me for my sins, cause here I come"

 

[Greenhornet]

the beat is Hiroshima

and his lyrics are the bomb

that shyt melted

 

[lutha]

that is a hell of a beat, and one of the best....hell, that's one of my fav pac songs period, might be the fav....but i think there are too many fiya beats to just pick one.....if i had to pick one beat to represent what hip-hop was to someone that never heard it, i'd go with gang starr - 'mass appeal'...

edit - had to bring the beat in the thread since no one else had

[AFRAM GLORY]

Im suicidal so dont stand near me
My every move is a calculated step
To bring me closer
To embrace an early death, now there's nothing left
There was no mercy on the streets
I couldn't rest
Im barely standing, bout to go to pieces screaming fukk peace
Although my soul was deleted
I couldnt see it
Had a mind full of demons trying to break free

 

[Jacaveli The Don]

'Pac saw his death at least a couple of years before Sept '96

Sad to think this is all he could see


All that talent and he couldn't find peace within himself
