I gave you power is a song from the perspective of a gun. Who does that?:mindblown:. It's in its own league. I Don't think there is a better story told in music. I can't think of one.

Was 2Pac's song really about guns?
Is that the comparison here? Hidden meaning gun songs?

Sticky Fingaz - My dogs is my guns takes the cake then.

Okay then I vote stray bullet.

Anyway Me and My Girlfriend is the better overall song.

I gave you power is an awesome record and is more lyrically dense but Me And My Girlfriend is the better overall song, easily.

From the beat and instrumentation, the hook on top of the lyrics as well, it's a much more complete experience.


Stop it.....Stray Bullet didnt Inspire Pac...Nas' song did.

Had it not been for Nas there would be no Me And My Girlfriend and Makeveli would only be 11 tracks. Thats why Nas gets the edge because he's the reason for both songs existing.

How about you stop trying to argue a point that I didn't make, some shyt you forever try with me for some reason.

Someone said the song that precedes the other wins, I said if the poll was about that I'd vote Stray Bullet. BUT, the first thing the OP said is which is the better overall song. When I think of determining what the criteria is for which is a better overall song, which came first doesn't really move the needle. What does is song composition, replay value both of which give Pac's song the edge in my humble opinion.

Go back and read what u wrote in post #14. If what u saying now is true you wouldnt have quoted that guy to try to pile your opinion over his. He thought the strings were corny and chose Nas. That was his "humble opinion." But his criteria wasnt good enough for you and you chimed in about adding dimensions as if thats supposed to make him think you brought some grand revelation to him and that the strings in fact weren't corny. LOL. That was you arguing a point he didnt make.

The person that I was having that exchange with quoted and replied to me and my opinion, specifically on the elements of the song that I felt gave it the edge, his points were a direct rebuttal to mine, so I don't see how the bold really works.

I wasn't trying to bring a grand revlation, I was just fleshing out my initial commentary in the thread.

You said I was arguing a point u didnt make. But u brought up Stray Bullet for absolutely no reason when it didnt inspire Nas. He didn't say "precede"...He said "influenced"...U lied in post #51 saying he said something he didnt. "Precede" and "influence" are 2 totally different definitions.

:ufdup:


Thats why I brought up post #14. You responded to him quoting why your "criteria" wasnt good enough for him. Yet the guy who said he's voting for "the influencer" never responded to you quoting him as to why his "criteria" wasn't good enough for you. He let you have that with no rebuttal but you couldnt let #14 have his with no rebuttal.
