'Not Like Us' will be remembered as a West Coast Classic. That's good for Hip Hop. Every huge battle left us with at least one classic or banger for that time period. Anthems don't die, especially if the Club embrace it. This isn't physics.

I know about the subliminals Biggie threw at PAC.... AFTER 'Hit Em Up'. They still didn't go song for song like the traditional Rap Battles of the past & ones after they died. Not sure how else to explain it.

PAC & BIG wasn't a traditional Rap Battle. PAC had BEEF with Biggie & started a one sided Rap Battle. That's what my tweet was about but there are too many comments so here are my thoughts. Peace ✌🏽

I agree. It will be 10 years or more before this happens again if we look at history.

TONYDaDome It was clear what you were saying. Too many people just didn't pick up on the difference between battle and beef.

Hip Hop is bigger than what YOU like individually.. lol...I mean damn..😂

It was big for the culture. Your personal opinion doesn't trump reality.

Exactly...can't listen to fans all the time. I've said on here for years that if Nas listened to fans in 95/96 he might have still been in Queensbridge.

A Kendrick Lamar Album is rumored to be coming? Now, if he delivers a great LP wherever you have him ranked in the Top 20 greatest MCs list might push him up a notch or 2. Not sure given body of work, impact, skills & storytelling how he's not Top 20 on most list...well..To Me

Kendrick Lamar’s 'Not Like Us' & 'euphoria' are BOTH challenging for a #1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 🥇

'Not Like Us' would be the FIRST rap song ever to go #1 with a 5-day tracking week 🤯

Victor HIMbanyama 'You Owe Me' is literally his biggest female song that get the crowd loudest in every concert by the ladies. I've seen it with my own eyes more than once. It's a good song for radio & club. Jay-Z don't perform the Vol. 1 songs because they weren't well received. Now..am I wrong?

I guess Muddy Waters 2 & Supreme Clientele 2 are gone forever....Might be good to not touch those titles.✌🏽

We applauded JAY-Z for Vol. 2 as that was smart. Spit fire but have joints in the Clubs & Radio. He became a star. Nas does 'You Owe Me' & he's commercial.. 😂

I didn't know having 1 bad album compared to dropping back to back classics & a dope album that lost 13 songs to Napster was falling off...lol. I didn't think that in 1999-2000 & I don't think it in 2024...

If you were around for Napster you would know what I'm talking about...
