Remember when Pac got in the ring with real MCs.

i remember being a lil nikka, my pops used to bump this sh*t. brings back memories

He wuz still shaking the rust off experimenting with a new flow on aeom..matter of fact id say AEOM is his least lyrical effort...whereas MATW and 7th day being his best... lyrically Thug Life and Strictly for my nikkaz is better too id say...so basically its pacs least lyrica effort lol

Only thing wrong with aeom is a lil too many features. Other than that though i agree matw and makaveli were lyrically more consistently better.

I'm not saying Pac never murked anyone, it's just on this one track, I felt he was pandering.

BTW E-40 number 4 on all time GOAT list. That's another thread.

My nikka got 40 in my all time top 3.

let me rethink that...I really do like the thug life album tracks like under pressure,and str8 ballin...pac ripped them shyts....hard to say he really lyrically outclassed himself...but u right I'm truly runnin the tracklist and verses down in my head and AEOM does have sum classic pac verses...ironically what woulda been the best verse on the album is the 3rd verse on the video version of I ain't mad atcha.....I will say his technique with the newer uptempo flow wuznt as polished as the pac we got on Thug Life who wuz familiar with his style and what he wuz doin rhymewise/flowise.

ironically huh?

for the record i do love thuglife and believe it was pac's 1st classic. And I DO like his vocal performances better on thuglife/r u still down era better than aeom performances. You understand what i'm trying to say? His delivery etc.

Meth easily had the best verse on 'Got my..' n I'm a 2pac n Red fan

 

[Da Jungles]

Never heard that version so props

Even tho Pac probably had the weakest verse it was still a good verse IMO.

Daz said "Waddup"

It doesn't sound like a Raw Pac verse. It sounds like some MC New York shyt .

No disrespect to the GOAT but it was disappointing hearing this for the first time.

Naw...That sounds NOTHING like "The Case Of The Misplaced Mic" Pac....

Every time a thread like this pops up I always think the same thing... 1996 rhymes, by anyone, cant get 2012 scrutiny. Its just not fair. Not only that, Pac pretty much said himself that he was rushing verses to hurry and get shyt done. He was tracking a lot of those verses before the beats were even all the way done... We cant even put red and meth '96 verses under todays microscope. It was a different time and attention to detail was emphasized on different details back then. Add in the fact that he wrote over 50 songs for that album over the course of 2 weeks... Your favorite MC cant even dream of doing that kind of work, and even if he/she did, there'd certainly be some quality control issues and wack lines in there.

 

[yesiambowling]

I always thought that verse was dope

My favorite mc is Pac

Meth and Red verses are still dope to this day. You say 96 rhymes can't be held under 2012 scrutiny, then why is 2012 music constantly being held to 96 standards?

 

[choc city]

Only time I ever see 2012 music being compared to 96 music is when its an artist that dropped an album in 96 is falling off in '12.

Another reason, is probably because people are a$$holes and they will try to criticize anything from any angle they can.

True true

Someone said it better than me in '96

 

[drugxglory]

Never seen nuthin wrong wit his verse...seen a interview where meth said they recorded that in Warren G's little basement.
