Prodigy's verse on Drop a Gem On Them was the greatest thing out of that East coast-West coast beef

[African Peasant]

Once again...


Yeah likewise, Im tired of rap guys whose fakkits
Pure shuteye, and swole up your whole outside
I baptize, nikkas get wet, put up your backside
Your claptized and set straight, put on your head straight
Watch out for,
These upstate cats be leary of you
Yeddy nikkas wit gats plus the walls on they backs
Rikers Island flashback of the house you got scuffed it in
You would think you gettin your head shot was enough but then
Now you wanna got at my team,
You must of been drunk when you wrote that shyt
Too bad you had to did it to your own self
My rebellion, I retaliate, I had the whole New York state
Aimin at your face
At the gate, bottom line of top soon as you came through
Shot through, don't even know the half of my crew
I got a hundred strong arm nikkas ready to rock the shyt
Clocks tick, your days are numbered in low digits
You look suspicious, suspect nikkas is bytches
Get chppoed up, Grade A meat, somethin delicious
And laced back up, 2 G's, one for stitches
Then reconstruct your face and learn how to speak again
My Mobb's like a bunch of wild Puerto Ricans
Wit bangers the size of African spears
It's warfare in the arena, you turn arenas into house of horrors
Its terrodome, when you see my click you need to run behind shyt
You gotta gat you betta find it
And use that shyt think fast and get reminded
Of robberies in Manhattan you knew what happened
60 g's and one for gun clapping
Who Shot Ya? You'd probably scream louder than an opera
New York gotcha, now you wanna use my mob as a crutch
What makes you think you cant get bucked again
Once again, back in the house once again
Live the life that of diamonds and guns
And now gems pull gats like a basehead pull on stems
The Mobb got the bomb run out and tell a friend
Its the Infamous..

This was my favorite diss track from the whole beef. Everything u ever loved about 90's rap is contained. #bars, ridiculous beat, nikkadom, 40's and blunts, timberlands, all dat!

 

[PaperEnterprise]

Classic. QUEENS.

 

[Canada Goose]

Verse was dope but Long Kiss Goodnight >>>>>>>>

Verse was dope but Long Kiss Goodnight >>>>>>>>

Long Kiss Goodnight was great, but it was a more triumphant/laid back Biggie. The war is over and he's just pissing on his opponent's grave.

Drop A Gem On Em is the definition of lyrical assault. Prodigy was literally destroying Pac with words. Each bar is like an hammer hitting someone's skull.

Plus that dark, cold beat

those kids got sonned, thread should be retitled "what was the most irrelevant thing to come out of the east-west beef"

I think any serious hip hop fan in 96 heard it.

 

[GollyImGully]

i was only 6/7 back then but what was the reaction in the streets back then about this?

didn't this officially drop after pac died?

It got radio play before Pac died where I lived and it was buzzing heavy.

That your days are numbered in low digits was
