    Damn…who the fuck is Akira the Don? Dude has a serious case of oral diarrhea…

    Your album noticeably eschews the Premo/Pete Rock/Large Professor production sound preferred by much of the UK hip-hop aristocracy…

    “I was talking about this the other day with a number of my people. Half the camp was like, ‘Fuck them old pricks - they’ve been holding us back for 20 years, they can suck a dick and die’.

    “Now some of it’s good music and they’re entitled to do their thing, but it’s bad when they’ve got a stranglehold on what is supposedly ‘UK rap’, dudes like Rodney P. What are you giving? What are you contributing? How old are you? Fucking roll over.

    “I mean these dudes sell about eight records between them and they hate on all these little dudes coming up who aren’t just pretending they’re in New York in 1991.

    “If you wanna go and pretend you’re in a covers band, do that and don’t hate on other people that are trying to do something new, you cunts.”

    So why should anybody listen to you instead?

    “Because I’m brilliant and probably say a lot more to them about their lives than a lot of the stuff they’re listening to. And if I don’t, at least I say it in an interesting way.

    “If they’re listening to Task Force maybe there’s no help for them. There’s this thing with UK hip-hop people - they expect all this love straight away and if they don’t get it they get pissed off.”

    You’re not much of a 2Pac fan either, right?

    “Was anybody until he died?

    “I was always a Big Pun person myself. But 2Pac, I don’t get it at all. Dude was this art school pretty boy who got a role in Juice and decided to act that way for the rest of his life. And people take that shit seriously; it’s grotesque.

    “Everything that’s descended from it has been detrimental to the evolution of hip-hop. And backwards bandanas are rubbish, dude looks like fucking Nora Batty, like the ultimate prison bitch.

    “Fuck 2Pac and fuck the whole legacy of 2Pac.”

    SERIOUSLY AND I LOOK AT IT KIND OF LIKE HOW ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISTS MISINTERPRET THE KORAN, SOME PEOPLE READ THAT AND THINK ALLAH WANTS TO TO BLOW YOURSELF UP ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER CIVILIANS AND THESE PEOPLE ARE MISGUIDED ONLY HEAR PARTS OF THE KORAN AND ARE BASICALLY JUST MISSING THE OVERALL MESSAGE AND POINT OF THE KORAN

    WELL RADICAL PAC FANS ARE THE SAME THEY TOOK THE THUG IMAGE THAT HE HAD AND DROVE IT INTO THE GROUND BUT NONE OF THE MINI PACS EVER TRIED SAYING SOMETHING OF ANY RELEVANCE OR EVER ACTUALLY ATTEMTPED TO CAPTURE WHAT TUPAC REALLY WAS. THEY JUST SHOWED THE GLORIFIED GANGSTA IMAGINE SOME HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED TO SEE.

    ( NOW I AM IN NOW WAY PUTTING THEM ON THE SAME LEVEL BUT THAN AGAIN YOU KNOW SOME PAC STANS WORD PUT WOULD PUT A JIHAD ON ANYONE TALKING BAD ABOUT TUPAC ” ALLAH ” SHAKUR LMAO )

    … while i agree that dude (Akira) may not be qualified to offer such an overtly critical rebuttal of Pac’s legacy, he said things that ring true and needed to be said … the TooPac dick-riding is confusing, and also self-destructive to those who indulge in it … dude was extremely flawed (as we all are), and certain elements of people who annoint him as some sort of savior, prophet, role-model and voice of young black men, have their facts and priorities fucked up … TuPock was extremely talented, poetic, energetic and charismatic … but thats where it stops …

    ^^ so who is responsible for this? was his legacy hijacked by indivuduals interested only in monetary gain (his moms who keeps selling his purposely unreleased material)? was it fans who were woefully uninformed but still passionate about their “hero”? Or was ot his responsibility to ensure that the legacy he left was tried and true (hard to do when he died so young. shit if i died at thesame age as him, my legacy would be a bit scattered as well)

Me I try and find a dime piece as that what the song is made for. and so many tears…..Back in elementary I thrived off misery left me alone I grew up amongst a dying breed….yeah and you’ve kicked a hotter intro line than that.

    landlord taste=rudimentary

    2pac out of all the mcs seemed at time to have the most feelings & emoition in his music, he was never the most lyrical but definitly put his heart on the line…..only person who come close is dmx 1st 2 albums

  72. Mr. MEEN Says:

    … yeah Pac was sick as an artist … but his legacy is misrepresented, period … if you cant understand that, peace be unto you …

    Ok then why say I get around Gobbage? the beat alone with the chopping of computer love and the gangstarr step up is pure hip hop heat. Side note Shock G one of the most underrated of all time. And so many tears sheeeeeeeeeet….
    Go listen to Who Do you Believe in before you question Pac or his legacy.

    he could have been so much more. maybe he ultimately would have. it really doesnt matter though because he’s gone and you cant change how a man lived his life after he’s died.

While alive he put more emotion soul and love into his music than most rappers put into their whole lives. I feel you land but the reason why they werent elevated to his status is cuz they werent nice as him. Just cuz you can get all lyrical if you cant communicate to the people then what is the point. The talibs the lupes while I love them are preaching to the converted. Pac spoke to the heathens and made them listen. Not all of them got his message but I guarantee 10 percent did. and thats who we are speaking to right land?

    They call us animals and put us in cages, same niggas are superstars when they put us on stages-Young Jeezy. explaining the plight of the black man in one bar. It doesnt take being lyrically advanced to make a fantastic point. And more people understand you that way
