...and The Outlaws, lol.

And the shh!t Pac was saying, corny shh!t. Violating wives and talking about people's children not growing, etc... How you respect that? Not manly, too emotional and reckless, I feel like Suge co-wrote that shh!t, lol. Never understood the love that song gets...and Pac Top 5 ever still, imo.

"Trash" is a little much tho, it's not a Top 5-10 diss record ever, imo. It definitely hit tho, that missile landed, pause.

Hit'em up is only compelling. As it was saved from sure fire destruction and allegedly in lore. Recreated in reel to reel.

After being mashed and eaten.

The way that got lost due to overly emo pac fans. Is completely telling.

Oh fukk the roots and quest love tho.

You fukk'n emo sellouts.

You can tell black thought and kamal simp emo face ass.
I said it too.

The song is a classic. I don't want to hear any slander on it. Drop Hit em Up in a club and it erupts.

Right?

I find it off Questlove says this.

I never took to this joint and alot of Pac's beats originally.

But a lot grew on me.

The drums are very strong on hit em up.
That right there and the content makes this a classic diss record.

Bottomline is it is a classic.

It's kinda like even if ppl are accomplished and are critical they're going to get it back.

I love the roots and Quest as a rap historian.
I disagree with him here tho.

Him and Roots should drop a new album instead of being critics.

I don't even know how I feel about this. I admire him for having a solid opinion on this, but it's kinda of shocking.

I think this happens with alot of conscious/positive rap.

Rap can be inspiring but it doesn't have to be soft.

And when the positive rappers get caught doing dirt but they first were overly positive they get caught up.

It's best to be real, honest and factual.
