Is Drop A Gem On Em the GOAT diss track?

[mobbinfms]

Saigon handled Mobb Deep on the street shyt. I loved Mobb Deep but they stayed getting embarrassing on wax and street shyt by Nas. Jay-Z, Pac, Saigon, 50 Cent, etc





@smokeurobinson

@mobbinfms hate it have to be you.

What does any of this have to do with Drop A Gem On Em?

 

[mobbinfms]

Prodigy was never a better rapper than Pac.

95-96 Prodigy >>> 95-96 Pac
Are you really telling me 91 Pac was better than Prodigy on Infamous and Hell on Earth??

 

[hex]

Prodigy in that era >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pac as far as rapping but rapping does not necessarily mean better songs.

So yeah, if you take, I dunno...."Nighttime Vultures" verse it's better than anything Pac was spitting....but hardly anyone would say that song was better than what Pac was putting out.

Lupe is probably the most extreme example of this. He's a great MC but struggles to actually make good music. And before his stans lose their minds....he basically admitted this a few years ago on Twitter.

EDIT:

And no, I'm not saying Mobb Deep didn't make good music.

Fred.

 

[28 Gramz]

Same thing pac did in all his disses

He did smash Faith though.

I remember the Clue tape I had this on prolly ran it back 100x in my first 92 Accord with the back seat down pumping this crazy and every picnic I pillaged that weekend the beat and P was a monster at this point!

From a dude that was active in that era, I eventually learned to love Pac but everybody he dissed smoked him lyrically. Nas a true demon tho & killed him wit one line. I’m pretty sure dropped after death

this and Lloyd Banks Officer Down...

two joints that fans think is


but if you play that shyt for anyone neutral and cyse it as the goat diss they gone look at you with the

they rapping but it dont grab you like a diss record should

if you dont know the background you wouldnt even catch that this is a Pac diss

just sound like some generic east coast shyt

 

[mobbinfms]

Why am I getting egged by @mobbinfms?

 

[Fukwatutalkinwatisaylaw]

It was a number of rappers that dissed Pac after he died? Who?

I enjoyed the shyt talkin at the end of Hit Em Up too. But Prodigy’s verse > the part about Mobb in Hit Em Up.

DMX is one Jayz is another.. Long Kiss Goodnight by Big was dissing him too

 

[Black Haven]

Drop a gem on em>>>>>>>long kiss goodbye by a long shot. Besides Mobb deep actually released their song when pac was still breathing.

 

[ThirdAct]

I dunno about greatest, but I'd definitely say the most underrated diss song ever...its never mentioned on GOAT diss lists, maybe its cuz they dont say Pacs name outright, not that they needed to though cuz everyone knows who they are talking about...

The beat is classic Hav and P's verse was just a fukking scorcher...dude was in a zone on that album

Also don't get me wrong Pac is a GOAT but P does get points for predicting how Pac went out

 

[Xerces]

didn’t really have a chance to make a great impact because of Pac’s death




love Pac but Drop A Gem > Hit Em Up

P was dropping lyrical gems while Pac was just ranting

But Pac had the balls to say Mob deep's name. That garners way much more respect.

 

[ThirdAct]

They didn't even have the balls to say 2pacs name

"You yell my name, that's only giving me props"

 

[RasNas]

Top 5 4 sure

 

[Black Haven]

But Pac had the balls to say Mob deep's name. That garners way much more respect.

Everyone and they momma knew exactly who they were talking about in that song. The song was even removed from radio stations out of respect for pacs death.

 

[BlackDroog]

Yes. I was a huge pac fan and a mobb deep fan back then. listened to both on a daily basis. I didn't even know what to do with myself. I was offended and hyped at the same time literally. lol.
