Is the second verse of "Purple" by Nas about Diddy?

[UpAndComing]

Fuk Nas for dropping that wack ass album this year and disapointing a Stan like me

Im back to listening to dead rappers now

Such a try hard lol

 

[Take It In Blood]

Puffy didn’t do shyt with his own hands.

He popped bottles on Steve Stoutes head tho

 

[DonkeyPuncher718]

The only thing that really applies there is his mans getting killed. Otherwise most of his money is probably legitimate. Diddy seems like more of the extortee rather than the extorter.

I thought more of Preme when I heard this verse.

I always thought of Preme or Suge in regards to this verse but what makes it truly special is this verse applies to every hood there is a Preme/Suge type breh

"The hood love you but behind your back they pray for the day
A bullet hit your heart and ambulances take you away"

I still feel that this verse might be the greatest Verse in Rap History and I know thats saying alot but if Aliens landed tomorrow and asked me to give them the best 16 I've ever heard my heart and mind comes to this Verse

 

[Wacky D]

I think it is

you remember when JD said puffy killed suges man in th middle of the street in front of suge.

puffy isnt out here playing game.

NO.

puff's bodyguard wolf killed suge's man.

 

[Big Mark]

With the recent allegations and drama surrounding Puffy, I think ya'll need to revisit this song.

 

[Crumple]

Besides the obvious line "I don't like the way P. Diddy did Shyne with different lawyers" in the first verse

In the second verse he says...

Everything you into is underworld related
You sell your man out, not even your girl is sacred
You don't trust a soul, hold up, you molding soldiers
To pull guns quick and always look behind the shoulder
Think of how many dudes died trying to be down with you
Everybody's under six feet of ground but you
Still standing, still roaming through the streets, that's real
You a survivor, knowing all the beef is ill
You got a bunch of thugs with you even now that's ready
Trusting your judgment, quick to put it down, they deadly
The hood love you but behind your back they pray for the day
A bullet hit your heart and ambulances take you away
That ain't love it's hate, think of all the mothers at wakes
Whose sons you killed, and you ain't got a cut on your face?

Crazy.

However they are cool, I assume. Puff being "all up in the" hate me now video.

Jokes aside, that verse is powerful. Nas man... incredible.

Thanks for posting this.

I don’t think it’s no one in particular

Just the avg shooter in the streets most likely

 

[HollywoodP]

I'm pretty sure it's open ended, not directed at anyone in particular...just a certain type of street nikkas in general.

Reading that i kept thinkin how much it applies to Lil Durk

 

[The Guru]

Did didler ever reply to "i don't like the way P diddy did shyne with different lawyers" ?

 

[Cladyclad]

Nas got 5 albums in like 3 years and yall dweebs trying to interject him into a hot topic lol

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

[Brosef]

[Double Burger With Cheese]
