& for the record, my favorite album of all time is "Let's Get Free" by dead prez purely because of it's conscious nature. never forget there's more than one way to reach your point. biggie just reached that point by way of the least common denominator.
Oh well you quoted me after I disagreed with Rapmastermind when he said "Ready To Die is one of the most conscience albums in Hip Hop History" so I thought that's what your post was trying to defend. -
i never thought its was conscious in the slightest till Rap brought it to our attention. & being that he was just puttin' his self in the shoes of the people who have to do whatever it takes to get by for the listener's perspective, the conscious aspect can't be denied when at the end of the day [no remy], we're supposed to learn from other's mistakes.. no?Oh well you quoted me after I disagreed with Rapmastermind when he said "Ready To Die is one of the most conscience albums in Hip Hop History" so I thought that's what your post was trying to defend. -
yall keep omitting what the ammo would be? What would BIG say? Yall saying lyrical, sure he can make up a story, how he is gonna make a comeback to Hit em up?

Again conscience albums aren't always political, uplifting and spirital. "RTD" is conscience cause of it's raise and fall concept. Biggie started the album from birth and ended the album with death. "Suicidal Thoughts" is one of the most conscience songs on hip hop history. How many rappers ever showed that type of honesty on a track? To look in the mirror and talk about the faults was very powerful and more people need to do that in their own lives. The Moral of "RTD" makes it a conscience album. which was this life has two endings "Dead or in Jail". Biggie gave you a story of that experience but made sure the bad guy didn't get away in the end. Which shows many people the trappings of being a Black Male in America that makes the album extremely conscious in that way (Considered a fool cause I dropped out of high school, stereotypes of a black male misunderstood). Again it's not the "BEST" but it's one of the the best. -
he can always talk about how pac is famous & still had to ? a chick.. [with another grown man's help] then in return got ? for his trouble.. that's a ?

I can't tell what stance you have anymore. I point out songs and ask you if think they're conscious, you say "I never said they were". And now your saying you didn't think it was conscious until rapmastermind bought it to your attention. What's going on? -

what's lyrical about sleeping with your rival's ? wife? pac didnt win anything based on lyrics, he just had ? in the streets thinking he was a gangbanger
bottom line: SNOOP DOGGY DOGG says christopher wallace >>>> whatever tupac's goofy birth name was
lol at your ? addict momma giving you a faggy birth name and having to change it
damn pac lost -
How are those songs perfect ways to prove your point? Those are "conscious" songs to you? Songs like Machine Gun Funk, Gimme The Loot etc?
The only songs from "RTD" that I would classify as conscience are "Things Dun Changed", "Ready To Die", "Juicy", "Everyday Struggle" and "Sucidal Thoughts" Those songs touch on very deep things. Everything else plays it's role but the album as a whole works as a ? /Conscience/Commerical/Concept album it was a very broad record. -

There was nothing "Lyrical" about "Hit Em Up" and Pac had some nerve saying the Outlaws could see Biggie. Biggie would of bodied them dudes with no problem. What made "Hit Em up" work was Faith's shady ? f'in with Pac. That opening line makes the song more than any of the song itself. But give Pac props, it was a very effective diss. Also flipping Biggie's "Get Money Remix" beat and hook was very smart on Pac's part but it also showed that Pac was listening to Big since he bit Biggie's hook and flow on the diss(Take Moeny) (Grab your glocks when you see Tupac, call the cops when you see Tupac). Pac admitted right there how dope Biggie was. Even Pac knew "Get Money" was the anthem. -
okay.. lets try this.I can't tell what stance you have anymore. I point out songs and ask you if think they're conscious, you say "I never said they were". And now your saying you didn't think it was conscious until rapmastermind bought it to your attention. What's going on?
say you spent your 19th birthday locked up & just got out when ready to die dropped.. the street is constantly at your door step. a lot of the people you know have their hands on elbows, keys, tabs & sheets.. & the whole time, you're marinatin' on this album where dudes in the same spot you are & ends up on that destructive path like he never left it.. could the artwork/album not be looked at as a conscious effort for your benifit? forget about the gun talk for a second... he made the right choice in not ? ' with the triple beam & BEGAN HIS RAP CAREER.. & only wrote about what can happen to you if you don't learn a lesson from your time at the only summer camp with bars on it's windows.. <-that is a conscious decision to make an impression with your life experience on people who you hope are smart enough to listen & heed your warning..
or maby thats just me [& my perspective]. -

or maby its me. i doubt it though.
I'm basing my opinion on the music itself and not BIG's personal life experiences/decisions.
That's just me though. -
I am not sure why a admitted ? would comment on the normal contradictory relations between a man and a woman, you already turned your back on that ? you have no room to even speak on anything of that nature as it is against yours...rusty shackleford wrote: »those are all perfect ways to prove my point.."Don't worry ladies.. keep ya head up... But I get around so don't get mad when i bust a nut on you & am out the door two seconds later to ? with another broad.. Just be happy with this ? .. BUT KEEP YO HEAD UP."
with me now? -

So I can call a rapper like Soulja Boy a conscious rapper not based on his content, but because of decisions and steps he took in his personal life? I'm sorry, that makes absolutely NO sense. -

i have the unfortunate disadvantage of not knowing a sliver of information about him to be able to honestly answer that. i stopped listening to gangsta rap when it died on march 9th..So I can call a rapper like Soulja Boy a conscious rapper not based on his content, but because of decisions and steps he took in his personal life?

But the only information you need is to LISTEN TO THE MUSIC. You have to read a rappers biography to categorize him as a "conscious" rapper?
Ridiculous. -

there you go again.. i never said big was a conscious mc.. i only insinuated that you can't discount the way he wrote his 1st album as being a negative-positive.. those feelings of "if i die, ? it i wanna go to hell / cause i'm a peice of ? , it aint hard to ? ' tell.." had to be a motivator [along with his new daughter] in his decision to keep rappin'.. that shows you right there he wasn't the selfish ? who was spittin' those words.. otherwise, he woulda took the easy way out like his BIG personna did.. thats a conscious decision. all i can say to someone who can't feel that is... maby you will in about 5 to 10 years.. maturity brings a priceless enlightenment inexperience can't afford.. or even concieve of for that matter.But the only information you need is to LISTEN TO THE MUSIC. You have to read a rappers biography to categorize him as a "conscious" rapper?
