2Pac Friday
5 April 2024
Featured the Outlawz and produced by Johnny “J",” this is a quintessential 2Pac track coming off of 2Pac’s last double-disc album, Better Dayz.
With everything going on with the Puff Daddy raids recently, this some is appropriate as it is lightly a Bad Boy diss track (though certainly not to the level of “Hit ‘Em Up.”
This song opens:
You a what? Bad Boy Killaz
Songs like this seem more reasonable as more comes out about Puffy, who somehow cultivated a (certainly false) “good guy/wholesome) image during the 90s East Coast/West Coast rivalry. Certainly much of 2Pac’s paranoia and animosity towards Bad Boy seems more justified now.
But let’s not focus on the negativity. Let’s focus on the positive, such as the greatness of 2Pac and all of his songs, include this one.
Happy 2Pac Friday! And to those who wish not to celebrate: “F*** Em All!” :)
