Title: The Message Vs The Message
Post by: Hittman on September 18, 2001, 10:41:21 AM
Which One Is Your Fave. The Message From Nas On It Was Written (I Think Anyway) Or The Message From 2001 By Dre, Mary J & Rell.

My Personal Fave Is 2001 The Message. The Sentimental Shit Behind It Is Just Amazing, Its One Of My Fave Dre Joints....Outta The Very Many.  :P

"Message" (2001). Although Dre didn't pen it when I hear it I jus' feel like it's some real shit from Dre, & he hardly ever puts out emotional type shit so it also feels fresh coming from him. Mary. J really catches the emotion with her voice 2. But like it's been said, Nas' "Message" is hella dope 2, my all time favourite Nas cut 2 b precise  ;D

Nas' version is classic. Dre's is aiight but it doesn't touch Nas's in my opinion.

Thats tru in a way,  Dre told Royce Da 5'9 what was goin through his mind an royce put it on paper but i think it would of seemed more heart felt if Dre wrote tha whole song

Nas!!!!  For sure.  That track is ill.  The Dre track was just aiight, I wasn't really feeling the lyrics, Royce wrote it to where it sounded like Dre's lil bro Tyree was a gangsta or something when he probably wasn't at all, but who knows, I just wasn't feeling the lyrics in the 2001 version.

between Dre and Nas, the Nas one is better.  If Dre wanted to get his feelings across, he should have written the song himself to give it a more personal touch.

i like nas' the message better, but dre's has more meaning behind it although he didn't even write the lyrics, peaec.

I like nas's version better. But the dre 2001 version is good.  The  Grandmaster flash version is sick, it's fucked up that puffy got put his hands on a classic track like this.
