 Music/Radio › Re: 2pac: A Perfect Example of Hiphop's Exaggerated Gangsterism?? by mrmetoo(m): 1:45am On May 01, 2007 |
IBDat:R u KIDDING me? Tupac wasn't placed where everyone was placed? C'mon now. I thought u said u saw resurrection? I hate this argument because I love 2pac but all I've been trying to make ppl see was tupac was no thug or gangsta. Did u see him in jail? He looked like a scared puppy. There are even rumors going around he was raped in there (not saying its true) but if he was such a badass that won't even come up. 2pac was a lot of things but not that thug image he was trying to portray. I know a guy that can live and die for 2pac, in fact his nickname is Shakur because ppl have lied to him he looks like pac (he's my very close friend so no beef). Anyway even he said it that the whole thug image thing was nonsense. That is someone that wakes up with Pac and goes to bed with him. He was even the one that told me about the whole jail rape b4 I checked on the internet (he was sure it happened by the way). The whole thug image was one of the attributes 2pac possessed that made him have such a huge following. |

what do u mean i screwed the thread up? I was simply giving a situation whereby his childish aggression made a girl change her number. Obviously girls loved him doesn't mean every girl. You actually screwed it up, the only two women u could come up with for a whole 2Pac is Madonna & Patra. |

Please what history did he make in jail? Yeah you're right he was childish and a nuisance in many cases. Thats the reason Janet Jackson changed her number after they did poetic justice together. Whatever you don't understand in my post lemme know. Hope u've sobered up tho' |

@De Limit Why did it take u that much space to write your choice? Were you ashamed or something? Don't worry feel free to express your opinion. No one would put you on blast for choosing that fake guy |

IBDat:To be honest I don't understand your questions and all that stuff u were saying about Suge Knight. Suge was a bad guy without a doubt and thats what gave 2pac balls, nobody liked it at deathrow, not Dre, not Snoop, not Daz or Korupt, not even Pac at the end. You're saying just because Biggie sold drugs makes him a thug like selling drugs equals selling tom-tom in traffic. Do you know what you have to go through to hold your corner down opposing gangs keep messing with u. I'm not talking about tapping your head and pointing fingers at you laughing, I'm talking about guns and baseball bats and so on. Biggie had a reputation in his area that no one could mess with him in his corner so imagine what he would have done to gain that. 2pac just ran his mouth a lot and beat up weak producers on the street for not giving him jobs which he even admitted was very childish. All I'm saying is 2pac had a great and loyal following because people thought he was some kind of thug which he wasn't, a faker was all he was. Again just anybody didn't pick it up, I think he's very intelligent and his songs are great. He's one of the greatest rappers that ever lived without a doubt. When you say he didn't take his court case lying down, What exactly did he do? He went to jail and turned into a baby there. His rep in jail was hinged on the fact that he was a start and that Madonna was coming to see him. (Madonna made Pac gain street cred in jail) |

not just the media, his songs, his demeanor, his prancing around the courtroom, his mis-yarns, beating ppl up in public, and so on. He wanted to portray a gangsta and the media ate it up. |

@IBDat This is not a thread for comparing 2pac and Biggie, there are millions of that already. Biggie trained under 2pac? Where? How? When? Please stop that. My argument was that 2pac's thug image was as fake as the designer brands that come out of Aba. Biggie confronted him after the show (no confusion here), keyword "confronted" not asked politely. Go check biggie and Pac's history and then u'll actually know who is the true gangsta between two of them. Don't let 2pac's noise and swagger fool you that is what its supposed to do and I see its working. I never said anything bad about his songs, personally I think they are great. |

Direct link: http://nhhopinions..com/2007/04/2pac-is-most-over-rated-rapper-of-all.html You know what? I keep having this argument with ppl. I won't go as far as to say Pac didn't release great albums but the whole thug image that made Pac have all that following was fake as hell. Fact: Pac didn't sell drugs cuz he wasn't good at it. The drug dealers, his friends, told him not to sell anymore because he wasn't good at it and stick to music and that they'll give him any support he needs in that area. Fact:As mentioned in the blog he was in a school of performing arts. I'm not an advocate for rappers being gangsta or not being able to speak english, in fact I'm against it, but when you come out with your middle finger in the air, shouting in court, and acting for the camera, then you're trying to portray a certain image. Fact:Another thing I tell ppl is that after "hit 'em up" when he was saying he screwed Faith Evans, biggie went up to him backstage at an awards show and confronted him and asked what all the bullshit was about, tupac's reply was, "Its just business". Whenever I tell ppl that, they start making noise that its not possible Biggie went up to pac like he's some sort of Godfather. The way biggie handled it is the way grown men handle beef and not in some studio a thousand or so miles away making noise (thats a cowardly act, not gangsta lets not get it twisted). Fact:Biggie on the other hand, was the one with the sort of gangasta past, he sold drugs and held his corner well, nobody could mess with him there but just because he was rapping about Versace and dancing with puffy ppl thought he was soft. Fact: Tupac only started getting into trouble after he became a star when he joined deathrow, his first offence was jaywalking (thats when u cross a road without regards to traffic statutes). He went to jail for assault and he didn't like it (no normal human being sould love jail anyways) but he gets out and fools everybody like he's gangsta for being shot and going to jail. |

Pls can anyone provide a source with this info. I have tried to search for it. Till I hear the first single b4 I'll believe an album like that is coming out |
| Music/Radio › Re: FAZE "Independent" OR 2FACE "Grass 2 Grace" by mrmetoo(m): 5:58pm On Apr 26, 2007 |
Kolomental is exactly like the Nigerian version of what is happening in the US now. All these nonsense music with their beats with no meaning all around the place. Songs like "Chicken Noodle Soup", "Laffy Taffy" and so on. As someone said the credit should even go to the producer for making the beat. Faze was just "rattling" on the song. lol |

| Music/Radio › Re: 2Face Idibia's "OLE" Music Video by mrmetoo(m): 3:32pm On Apr 24, 2007 |

| Music/Radio › Re: FAZE "Independent" OR 2FACE "Grass 2 Grace" by mrmetoo(m): 2:55pm On Apr 24, 2007 |
Pointblank:To be honest, I just put some of those comments there to ruffle some feathers. Being signed to Konvict music is a start but it definitely doesn't guarantee success. Take a look at Craig David; his first album was a massive hit, after that every American label wanted to sign him so he left his British "local-champion" label to come to the US. I haven't heard much from the guy since then. So its only if Akon knows what to do with faze then it would work out. Record labels usually have artists on their roaster for ages without releasing any albums. So lets hope and pray everything works out and he's not just there to meet a quota. Although 2face is still way better and he has more international appeal. P.S. - Kennis would obviously love to work with Akon but as eleshin said it doesn't mean they're ready to give up their gem |
| Music/Radio › Re: FAZE "Independent" OR 2FACE "Grass 2 Grace" by mrmetoo(m): 6:38am On Apr 24, 2007 |
I'm not the biggest faze fan on this forum and even I know he's signed to konvict. I guess Akon just went for second best. Two reasons I'm saying so: Akon is a big fan of tuface. He came on stage after tuface performed "African Queen" in london and asked requested an encore along with crowd Then Akon was on mtv jams where a showed a couple of videos from African artists and saved the best for last and played "Ole". I didn't catch all the videos but it was really weird waking up and seeing 2face on MTV JAMS. I won't be surprised if it wasn't Kennis' music contract that didn't make Akon sign him (not taking anything away from faze, I'm sure he deserves it). We all know music is not a beauty contest but lets be honest 2face would have appealed more to the US audience than faze. |

jaybaby:Wow I guess after giving out the free cds they put guns to people's heads. If ppl didn't want to listen to tuface's music, what were they doing there in the first place? All they did is called good marketing. All top artists and labels around the world do that. If faze's ppl don't have the sense or the means to market him properly then its nobody's fault. |

@BITIKENYA Please lets not go there about comparing countries. As much as I agree with some of the things you said I disagree with most. Nigerians without a doubt are very materialistic and have this "TYPE A" personality but the thing about spending your whole pay check to buy an item is simply not as general and rampant among Nigerians as you claim. Nigerians love "living the good life" but most of the ones that live that kind of life are successful already. The ones that are "not there yet" work their asses off so that they can get there (I'm sure thats not a crime) thats the reason u meet Nigerians everywhere, we strive for success because we know the kind of life we want to live unfortunately some others turn to crime which is applicable to all nations of the world. You also mentioned that Kenyans tend to go back and rebuild their country as if Nigerians don't do that. In 2006 alone $7.7b was remitted into the country by Nigerians abroad, if thats not rebuilding the country then I don't know what is. Not to talk of Nigerians that return every year to invest in the country. I have to agree with an earlier post that mentions that every other African nation has something to say about Nigeria(ns). Well I guess its because Nigeria is a huge factor in Africa maybe even the world and if there is one good thing Nigeria is known for is our huge involvement in peace-keeping around our beloved continent contributing both human and material resources. The country is grossly corrupt but Nigerians are hard workers thats the reason we survive and are successful P.S. - I know Kenyans that have been here longer than I have and are not planning to go back anytime soon. (Not trying to start anything but there were so many inaccurate points you raised about my people) |

TAOTAO:I would really love to get your own meaning of underdog @azeedon the arguements gets frustrating after a while. "Kolomental" - I can't understand the hype surrounding that song. Some other person said tuface's song is for the common man and faze's songs are something something (can't remember). From this thread I think it has shown its the other way around. Faze came out with Kolomental with the beat and wack ass lyrics, ppl jump up and down and think he's the greatest. Tuface's songs are the ones u really have to listen to and appreciate the melody and lyrics. Apart from this thread I can honestly say I have met more ppl that prefer tuface's cd. Maybe its just this part of the world, I dunno. |

yeah I wonder too. He said he didn't want MGS to be on the xbox 360 because he likes being the first at everything and that the MGS concept was already available on the 360. So I hope he can come out with something fresh and better than MGS |
