Matter of fact he was directing them toward some iconic verses on this. These were basically guys in their first studio sessions finding their voices

Young Noble yes, he was new to rap

EDI had been rapping with Pac since 93 (first appearance was the song Flex) so he was seasoned by 96

There's a difference between a professional who may spends months on a daily basis recording versus someone who gets in the studio every now and then in a blue moon. I don't know EDI's experience beyond his work with Tupac but there's a stark difference. People like Big Syke were professional realm, doing it. Many are just engaging in freestyles all day but rarely get in the studio

I hear you. EDI and Dramacydal did have a lot of studio sessions between 93 and 96 so i'd say he had a good 25+ songs under his belt by the time Bomb 1st was made. Noble on the other hand was very new to the rap game, I don't think he even recorded a verse with the Lawz until early 96.

Basically the reason I'm posting this is to show that Tupac's style of governship would be similar to Trump's

And he'd have many mainstream entities speaking against him


I see a lot of parallels between Tupac in 1996 and Trump today (and I'm honestly no fan of Trump)

If you are from the old day communities you might recognize this remix



Tupac fans were basically like Prince.org members. How many Tupac fans learned how to make a remix so they could pass off an "OG". Many of the remixes from those days were meant to replicate the original styles, they would be called "OG vibes"

This song pairs perfectly with Soon As I Get Home

Also a classic part of the song is the baseline it samples from Fred Wesley and The J.B.' s More Peas for my 'digging in the crates' heads. You can hear it @ 7:20.


I think it was Johnny J who talked about how 2pac basically produced his songs, he would tell him sample a bass line from this song, or take a rift from this song. Everybody talks about his work ethic not a lot of people give him credit for how different his songs sounded in that era. It's basically because of Pac's music mind.

Uptown anthem also uses that sample.
