"NOTORIOUS THUGS" -VS- "THUG LUV"......

[hiphopfanatic]

its a tie

What he said.

 

[Canada Goose]

Thug Love, because Pac is on it

But Notorious Thugs is status though, as it showed that Biggie evolved from the Ready To Die album.

Also the intro to Notorious Thugs is too

Pac verse is Thug Luv is


Both songs was dope, but thug luv was better

 

[Monoblock]

Thug luv without question

 

[god shamgod]

Notorious thugs is way better

Thug luv has a wack beat and pac was rhyming off beat,big killed notorious thugs

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

Thug Luv. Great verses all round especially Krayzie.

I think for sure "Thug Luv" was a HARDER track cause of the atmosphere of the beat. And yes, those GUNSHOTS are like DAMN, this shyt is hard body. Better Rhyme Scheme? No, Better Production, No. My vote goes to "Notorious Thugs" cause between the two, that song sounds like it was a TRUE Bone Song. Don't get me wrong, "Thug Luv" was on their album so it was a Bone song also but Stevie J, Diddy and Big made a Bone Song and put it on his album. That was way harder to do. Thug Luv was produced by DJ UNEEK. What separates "Notorious Thugs" is it was so melodic. Also by not having Wish on the track (The Weakest Member) it was like "Notorious Thugs" got the best of Bone with Bizzy, Krazyie and Lazyie.

Also you have to give Big credit. He emulated their flow but did it with his own Brooklyn style. Pac didn't even try cause he knew he could match them so he just did his own thing. Big actually took the track back to NY, studied their flow and came out with his verse. I don't care who you are, or what you were doing. I know for sure just talking to friends that everyone who heard Big's verse was blow away in 97. Nobody expected him to rap fast. Now Big's fast rapping was still slow in comparison to Bone but for Big that was like a triple-time flow. Also the clarity in his voice it just worked. So "Notorious Thugs" takes this. It's just the type of track you can blaze to, chill and just zone the fukk out. Straight up.

I'll probably be punished for hard living blind to the facts
Thugs is convicts in gods prison hand on the strap
Praying to father please forgive me police be rushing when they see me
I flaunted America's most wanted live on TV life
Pleasure and pain stuck in this game holler my name
We all gone die we bleed through sim-i-lar veins
You're explain to me now don't panic when my gun burst
Heard the last jam nikka this ones worse
My nikka bone held the chrome till I came home
Thug Luv players tell these bytch nikkas bring it on
I caught a plane out to Cleveland late last evening
To help my nikkas clean up some nikkas no longer breathing now
Who you believe in hit the weed and breathe it's a
Cold ass the world them nikkas kill you in your sleep
Until they stop me bury murder me or drop me
I got Thug Luv for my nationwide posse feel me


pac rhymes each syllable while rhyming multiple different syllables biggie does not does that

This is tough.

Notorious Thugs but Thug Love is so

 

[Slystallion]

Tupac has to be the most overrated rapper of all time

As much as I hear this fairytale told I have never actually heard him do it

i give biggie props for trying to attempt to to do bone flow

but it was poorly executed on bigge's half pac already showed he could do that on his first album something wicked young black male proves that

which is why i think he did'nt try to do bone's flow because he already proved he can do that type of style

biggie never did that style up until that point so he had something to prove.

 

[chuckifubuck]

thug luv without question

the gunshots>>>>>
pac>>>>>
bizzy>>>>>>
wish's singing at the end >>>>>

might still be the most gangsta song ever. I wish an NBA team would use the beat as their intro during the finals

What's crazy is Bone Thugs ADMITTED Biggie ripped them on their own style and flow. That was way harder for him to do and more creative. Sure Pac's verse was hard, there was no doubt about it. But for Big to show Bone love by mimicking their flow and coming out with such a great quotable verse you have to give him the nod. I mean Bone themselves admitted basically Big murdered them on their own sh!t:

Layzie Bone: “Puffy called us and said, ‘BIG want y’all on a record.’ We are like, ‘Hell yeah…we coming.’ We end up being in the studio with Biggie all night. We did all of our verses and then BIG was like, ‘You know what? I’m going to take this home.’ When BIG went home we did not hear that record until after he passed.”

Flesh-N-Bone: “Hearing Biggie do our style was incredible. I understood why he had to take it home and study it for a minute. He put his own spin on our Bone flow.”

Krayzie Bone: “It was bitter sweet. Biggie ripped it but we didn’t have the opportunity to tell him how much he ripped it. He came out and did his thing on the song to where he put another notch under his belt because our style is not easy to where you can just say, ‘I’m going to rap like these dudes.’ Especially back then when we were first coming out. For a New York rapper to do our style was a risk. But when he did it that n*gga killed it. New York showed us a lot of love off of that record. ‘Notorious Thugs’ and ‘Crossroads’ are the only songs they played in NYC by Bone. It was Bone and Biggie.”



Also Big's verse was so dope, they remixed that ish 8 years later and sped it up and it sounded just as good still as Twista and Krazyie spitting new verses on "Spit Yo Game":

Notorious B.I.G - Spit Your Game - YouTube

Get the fukk outta here. Unless there's another quote from Bone stating otherwise, the one you provided doesn't say they admitted to being murdered in their own style. All they said was he ripped it. They were basically shocked that he did a respectable job on the track. Biggie murdering Bone on wax has gotta be one of the biggest NY fueled myths in rap history.

Anyways, I voted tie.

 

[The Message]

Hard to decide. Both of these is on my gym playlist on my Ipod. lol I remember when Thug Luv dropped though.....it was near riot inciting whenever that some came on. Dudes lost they mind....
