Title: Brooklyns finest...WHOA!
Post by: Don Mega on June 28, 2002, 04:46:21 AM
I just gave my old jay-z a listen the other day and stumbled over brooklyns finest once again. I gotta say this track amazes me every fucking time. From the lyrics to the beat... everything is top notch... to me this is truly a classic beat.

Though, i don't really see why people call this a diss song towards 2Pac... i mean i only see one obvious diss and thats when biggie goes "So pardon me/pass the safe/before I blaze the place/and here's six shots just in case"

the one with faith having twins "tuuupacs" seems more like a diss towards himself or faith.

But the conclusion is: Brooklyns finest: CLASSIC

"If Fay' had twins, she'd probably have two-Pac's
Get it? Tu-pac's"


Lol, yeah, I always thought that made him look like he was dissing himself and faith more than anyone else. But no doubt, this is a class song, my fav. Biggie line from this song is:

"Sprinkle coke on the floor, make it drug related."

I dunno why, I just like it, it's quick  :)

No I do like it, its a good tune but I just dont reckon its an AMAZING track.  Yer I mite go and listen to nelly, it is up 2 me who I want to listen to and if I want to listen to Nelly dam I am gona do it.  I am clearly not bothered at what you say because you are obviously a person who thinks they are right all the time and if you dont listen to a certain rapper then nobody else can.  Fuck that, fuck you and stay out of my business you muppet.

Word, I never really understood why people claimed that Jay-Z dissed Pac on that song, cuz all that shit's been said by Biggie... Brooklyn's Finest is definitely classic, my fav song on RD

its songs like this and song like Gimme the loot that amazes me all the time, it seem as if the verses are tied together between each rapper (yea yea i know gimme the loot is biggie feat biggie but still dope  ;D). Alot of collaborations today just sound like the verses are written totally independant of eachother and that sucks

Wither right or wrong, 2Pac took this as a diss after Biggie said the Faith and Twinz lines.

[Jay-Z]
Time to separate the pros from the cons
The platinum from the bronze
That butter soft shit from that leather on the Fonz
A S1 diamond from a eye class don
A Cham' Dom' sipper from a Rosay nigga, huh?!
Brook-Nam, sippin on

I don't know myself, but 'Pac got pissed at Jigga for getting involved, if he even did.

Yeah this really is a dope track. I wish more collaborations involved the two artists flowing into each other's verses cause it always sounds much more together and is normally doper than the normal artist 1 verse, hook, artists 2 verse, hook formula that most collaborations use. Biggie and Jigga both come off really well on this track, and their flows suit each other down to the ground. One of the tightest east coast tracks ever no doubt about it.
