Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

preciate that bruh. What year/album would you say the beginning of his fall off musically?

Lethal Injection I could see it.

and Ice Cube was in Hollywood and more concerned by movie scripts by then and there was a big gap before his next album. Tupac pretty much helped shut the door and he had one foot in and had lost touch with the younger generation.

and the bow down stuff caused a lot of New York fans to look at him funny, because he was trying to piggy back off Pac's problem. I know I did, because New York embraced him more than a lot of our own.

The funny thing I just watched Lou Simms interview and how he started calling his crew Lench Mob(Harlem 142nd st crew) because he used to listen to Ice Cube.

People be getting the timelines messed up. Westside Slaughter House dropped in June 95 on Mack 10's album, was most likely made months before that. Pac was locked up. Cube wasn't piggybacking.

Ummmm, Pac even talked about what Ice Cube did

and Bow Down came out in the summer of 96

The record was still made while Pac was locked up. That's a fact.

The Westside connection album ain't drop until late 96 so that's why Pac probably felt like that but Cube was dissing New York a year and change before that.
 
I'm probably one of the few people that didn't have grodt...I didn't really care for the album but I heard it out so much that I knew all the songs

Yeah after Westside Connection first album (after lethal injection) - the decline started.

Pac died in September 96

and he was let out of jail in 95
 
I’m not sure of the facts surrounding Pac and Cube. But I always wondered why he didn’t do a song with Westside Connection. The way they were riding it I thought they were like a subsidiary of Pac’s Westside team lol

Pac’s Westside Team?
 

While Big Suge and Kurupt have always kept things one hundred with their late associate, some people have been fabricating stories and even lying on encounters with 2pac. Out of 2pac’s own words, he felt Ice Cube was clout chasing the west coast aggressive content, with telling out of towners to bow down.

This was evident, when it was brought to our attention that he planned to unleash multiple diss tracks at Cube after making peace with Nas and others in the five boroughs. Unfortunately, it may have seemed that way and 2pac was completely correct; but Ice Cube was quietly repping the west lifestyle on the forefront after completing a slew of Hollywood films.
 
When did he get out of jail?

When was the VIBE interview?

and that song was recorded when, because it was released as a single weeks before he was shot.

Again, Westside Slaughter House was on Mack 10's album that dropped June 95. That album was recorded 94-95. They was screaming westside before Pac. Pac got out October 95.



I love Pac but it's ok for Pac to be wrong. :lol He did jump the gun on a couple things.

You don't seem to get it.

I'm specifically talking about Bow Down, you know, the song I keep mentioning.
 
Though they may have been saying it on songs, they didn’t bring it to forefront til the beef was ignited. At least that’s what I remember. From the outside looking in, as a 11-13 year old kid, all I thought back then when Bow Down dropped was woah, Pac got everybody on the West riding with him.
