Damn,i really miss hearing that brothas voice behind the mic..had a chance to just kick it with him and his hype man,back in 99, shit was crazy.
real down to earth brotha(God driven)..Puff really did this brotha wrong in alot of ways..need some thing from him.
-
Puff didn't do him dirty, it was either focus on Mack's second album, or focus on the GOAT's second album, easy decision.

2pac was never signed to bad boy, quit trolling
:laugh:

big didnt like craig mack.
i believe there was a push from big and JM to oust him. flavor in your ear was a way bigger single then juicy was at the time.
juicy of course went on to be a legendary song but with out flavor in your ear there would have been no promotion for ready to die.
eat it haters.
-
nah...big never liked craig mack.
ever.
they used to be on mtv looking all buddy buddy and shit but big didnt like that mack dropped first and got first choice of easy moe bee tracks.
craigmack got to headline alot of shows becasue of how hot flavor in your ear was but big knew as a rapper he was superior.
you can find interviews out there where when they were both label mates and bigs goin off on duke
-
yeah big wasnt no super thug.
he beat a skinny nigga up with a baseball bat...but he was a better functional rapper then tupac if your talking about concepts story telling and rhyme schemes and such.
pac just had heart....a heart so big it could eclipse some of his weaker attributes on that mic.
-
Craig Mack's charisma >>>>> Pac and Big combined.
-
Who's craig mack

Who's craig mack
One hit wonder...or a two hit wonder if you count the remix to flava in your ear.
-

"theres a lot of fake chinos like craig macks a fake redman" - chino xl
-
the sad thing is is that with craigs one album and single on bad boy hes accomplished more then chino ever has.
yall see that new big mac commercial where they use the flavor in your ear beat? chino used to be a fucking weirdo rapping in catholic robes and shit in his videos trying to look spooky and shit.
did pac really beat chino up?
-
shut up ya fat fuck you look like a little tree stump
-

i used to make prags like you wash my draws.

Agreed but much like Sir mix-a-lot he is only remembered for 1 song by most people.
did pac really beat chino up?
I find that hard to believe unless he had other people with him.

naw homie,i thought every mc on that track killed it..they all brought their A game, thats why its a classic today..people just now seeing that big,and Mack was battle each other on that track .thats what made me love it even more when i 1st listen to the remix.
-
lmao 2pac never beat up chino, the only time they met in person was to squash their beef because chino's manager was a friend of 2pac's manager

believe it or not when that shit dropped bigs verse wasnt even as highly regarded as it is now. it was just OK.
this song was the emergence of bustarhynmes as a solo artist. i remember EVERYONE on the bus talking about how raw that shit was and it gave him the perfect set up for woo hah.

true, I just would like to know what LL was talking about in that verse :laugh:
-
having sex and rapping are the topics LL ws rapping about.
that remix was very important to hip hop not only did it set off busta rhymes solo career LL also used it as a platform for a comeback for his album Mr smith and it established big as the marquee artist on badboy/the east coast
poor rampage...no one even remembers he was on that shit.
-
busta bus was already known from Buncha Niggas
-
dog you cant tell me shit....i was working for a record store at 14 years old. i knew my shit.
no one knew shit about busta except from leaders of the new school and tribe appearances (scenario) chalie brown was actually the marked star of that group. busta did shit like lil remixes and that banger with the artifacts but all that was underground this was major exposure all over mtv and bet everymorning on the jams countdown and shit.
this was the moment where busta emerged as a superstar.
-
damn u pretty combative today petey im just discussing shit, not debating
how come flavor in ya ear wasnt even MENTIONED in his wikipedia? lol
-
no hack but i think its a fair assessment your hip hop knowledge starts and ends with tupac. (well maybe not ends as i know you know your current shit too)
i was like four years old watching my older uncles breakdance on cardboard boxes and shit, sporting nylon lee suits and pumas and shit. dooky ropes and jehri curls
what im saying is its in my culture and upbringing...i cant remember a time where hip hop wasnt in my life and its pretty evident that tupac sparked your interest in rap and theres nothing wrong with that.
your in good company becasue id bet most of the euros posters here didnt know much about rap till dre and snoop or tupac put them on.
-

over the past 13/14 years I've owned over 200 CDs and maybe 20 to 25 are 2pac and/or 2pac related (i.e. singles, guest appearances, compilations with him on them)
not even going to bother finishing this discussion with you if this is what you are thinking though. peace.
-
its not like i cant respect you for doing the knowledge and shit but keep it gangsta with me...
were you a true hip hop head before you found tupacs music?
dont take offense to this shit son, this was tupacs life mission to enlighten ppl thru his music and maybe even bring ppl together.
im not dissing at all your cool w me hack i just have never seen you expound knowledge on other hip hop greats like kane, or UMC's, or main source and shit so i assume tupac was who popped your hip hop cherry.
-
i was into coolio, cydal and luniz before pac
but when i got into pac i also got into wutang and redman those same years
then 2 years after i got into rap eminem blew up and thats when i started getting into michigan rap (esham, simken heights, bedlam, KGP, project born, dayton, breed etc.)
still always been into the east too though.....L, live squad, non phixion, royal flush, sauce money, e money bags, arsonists, lord tariq and peter gunz, pun, jeru, outsidaz etc.
and dont get me started on all the west shit ive grown up on like Assassin, lynch, funky aztecs, oftb, pharcyde, cougnut etc
oh and then theres the chicago rap scene...mostly Juice, Common, All Natural, and Rhmefest. and beats by Molemen of course.
then theres the fact i was obsessed with scribble jam and the battle scene at the turn of the century, that introduced me to C Rayz Walz, Eyedea, Slug, Deacon the Villain, Okwerdz, Sage Francis and Brother Ali. had no idea these guys careers would still be around today minus the late Eyedea.
i forgot what i was saying again but basically i love all kinds of different rap
-
respect.
-
was it mcdonalds who used flavor in ya ear on their commercial?
-
I'm going to have to disagree, scenario was bustas coming out as a solo artist. Before that track he was just a group member. After that he was recognized. Nobody knew who he was before that, everybody did after.

i agree but they looked at him as a native tounges artist at that point and that carried a stigma to it LONS was still a group then too.
this brought him from the backpack crowd and placed him among the elite and mainstream solo bracket set to compete with the biggies and LLS and methodmans sales wise.
-
but us 7 year old heavy d fans remember him from buncha niggas :D lol im such a nerd

It set a big stage for bustaz solo yes indeed.but homie, we as fans at the crib(Memphis)was waiting for bustas solo shit since he wreck Big daddy kanes cut(Come on down)..in a nut shell,busta been had a solo buzz befor flava remix..but i feel what u are saying..it put him on a bigger plat form.

Craig Mack was cool, too bad he couldn't last long... I got his 2 albums & a 'lost songs' compilation. All of them have nice tracks
-
id like to know more about the lost songs thing....what era was it recorded?

It's just a compilation that I made of his non album tracks... Songs from 1993 to 2004 I guess. After that Craig Mack was pretty much history.
Btw: Nas - Where are they now => 'I heard Craig Mack is back in the studio' Was he really recording a new album? Someone knows?
-
man if someone could get craig mack and eazy moe bee in a studio together that shit could be cool.

-

and Kurupt the kingpin of the clique in his prime
and the mobb
-
the "flava in ya ear" remix is holy
a sad legacy tho,
the only time u get reminded about thsi dude, is when a rapper puts him in his rhymes n say some flatterin shit about his looks
"ur ugly like Craig Mack and Missy Eliott havin a baby" etc etc
-
or "theres a lot of fake Chinos like Craig Macks a fake redman"--chino xl

It's funny I read through this thread then a few hours later I heard Big Poppa played on the radio and realized that big takes a shot at craig mack
"Now check it, I got more mack than Craig and in the bed"
I know all the lyrics to that song and it never occurred to me that it was a diss.
-
eh sounds like more of a punch line than a diss
