INVADING SOHH CHAMPION
I think the Pac line went over your head. He wasn't necessarily saying that there wasn't gonna be a black president soon. I know Nas made it seem that way with the way he flipped the sample on Black President but it was taken out of context. Though I hate speculating on what a dead man would say, if Pac were still around I'm positive that he would still stand by that line even now.
That's why someone like Pac is really missed in today's game because he would have a different perspective from most other rappers and it would reflect in his music. I doubt he would have had the optimistic view that Nas had on Black President. Nas got caught up in the hype like most people and just captured that excitement (which still made a dope track too). Pac would have pointed out that it wouldn't change a thing for the conditions of the people in the ghetto, which is what he was getting at in Changes.
The line still makes a perfectly valid point and is arguably more relevant now than it was then. It's basically proven to be true now. Nas played Pac with that sample like he was wrong about that and acted as if the message is outdated now. Nothing could be further from the truth. Pac stays being misrepresented in the media by everyone including his peers though, it's sad really..
read the transcripts about how you were lead astray and lied to by pac and, stfu.
you looked for every unreleased pac album before the internet.
go use the same ingenuity.
then, find the transcripts that give the truth, about what pac really did.
tired of you pac clone war gen motherfukkers,..you all precipitated why blacks are where we are. now, go read how you were duped,...and lied to by your qwan of virtue, tupac.
