What's your favourite Tupac track?

[Mr_Enigma]

I don't have to ask, with all these wannabe gangstas and romeos on here I definately know that there are plenty of followers of the late great legend.

What I ask of all you RD folk is what is your ONE favourite track from the man himself? And why is this track considered to be your favourite? My personal one is Hellrazor. The track itself conveys so much raw emotion and touches on things that affected his life, like him taking shots at two off duty police officers when they were harassing a black male, and the death of LaTasha by a Korean shopkeeper, something that had a major bearing on his upbringing...

Major! Hell motherf**kin yeah
This one goes out to my ***** Mike Coolin, hell yeah
Mama raised a hellrazor... born thuggin
Heartless and mean, muggin at sixteen
On the scene watchin fiends buggin
Kickin up dust with the older G's
Soakin up the game that was told to me
I ain't never touched a gat that I couldn't shoot, I learned
not to trust the bitch from the prostitutes, was taught lessons
A young ***** askin questions while other suckers was guessin
I was ganked for sexin
Elementary wasn't meant for me, can't regret it
I'm headed for the penitentiary, I'm cuttin class
and I'm buckin blastin, straight mashin
Mobbin through the overpass laughin
While these other motherf**kers try to figure out, no doubt
They jealous of a *****'s clout, tell me Lord
Can ya feel me? I keep my finger in the trigger
Cause some ***** tried to kill me
and mama raised a hellraizor, everyday gettin paid
Police on my pager, straight stressin
A fugitive my occupation is under question
Wanted for investigation, and even though
I'm marked for death, I'ma spark til I lose my breath
Motherf**kers, every time I see the paper
I see my picture, when a *****'s gettin richer
They come to get ya, it's like a motherf**kin trap
And they wonder why it's hard bein black
Dear Lord can ya feel me, gettin major, unhh

[Chorus: Stretch]

Mama raised a hellrazor, stress gettin major
Lord be my savior, unnh
[Repeat 4X]
Mama raised a hellrazor
[2Pac] Dear Lord can ya feel me
Stress gettin major, unnh
Mama raised a hellrazor, stress gettin major

Tell me Lord can ya feel me, show a sign
Damn near running outta time, everybody's dyin
Mama raised a hellrazor, can't figure
Why you let the police beat down *****z
I'm startin to think all the rich in the world is safe
While the po' babies restin in the early graves
God come save the youth
Ain't nothin else to do but have faith in you
Dear Lord I live the life of a Thug, hope you understand
Forgive me for my mistakes, I gotta play my hand
And my hand's on the sixteen-shot, semi-automatic
crooked cop killin Glock, tell me Lord
Can ya feel me? Show a way
I'm prayin but my enemies won't go away
And everywhere I turn I see *****z burn
Every ***** that I know's on death row
My younger homie's seventeen and he paid a price
Little young motherf**ker doin triple life
Though I tell him in his letters, it's gettin better
If my ***** knew the truth he'd hit the roof
Just heard ya baby's mama was smoked out, f**k the drama
Wanna break my Loc out, smokin blunts
Gettin drunk off that Tanqueray gin
Bout to break my ***** out the f**kin pen
Mama raised a hellrazor, uhh, yeah
C'mon, uhh, mama raised a hellrazor
Uhh, dear Lord can ya feel me, stress gettin major
(Lord be my savior, unnh)

[Chorus: Stretch]

Mama raised a hellrazor, stress gettin major
Lord be my savior, unhh
[repeat 2X]
Mama raised a hellrazor, stress gettin major

Dear Lord can ya hear me, it's just me
A young ***** tryin to make it on these rough streets
I'm on my knees beggin please come and SAVE ME
THE WHOLE WORLD done made a ***** crazy!
I got my three-five-seven can't control it
Screamin die motherf**ker and he's loaded
Everybody run for cover, I cause shit
Thug Life motherf**ker, duck quick
Now am I wrong if I am don't worry me
Cause do or die gettin high til the bury me
Dear Lord if ya hear me, tell me why
Little girl like LaTasha, had to die
She never got to see the bullet, just heard the shot
Her little body couldn't take it, it shook and dropped
And when I saw it on the news I see busta girl killin 'Tasha
Now I'm screamin f**k the world, in the end
it's my friends, that flip-flop
Lip-locked on my dick when my shit drop
Thug Life motherf**ker I lick shots
Every ***** on my block dropped two cops
Dear Lord can ya hear me, when I die
Let a ***** be strapped, f**ked up, and high
with my hands on the trugger, Thug *****
Stressin like a motherf**kin drug dealer
And even in the darkest nights, I'm a Thug for Life
I got the heart to fight now
Mama raised a hellraiser why cry
That's just life in the ghetto, do or die

So what's YOUR favourite?

[Ketamine-Abuse]

A more appropriate question is who would you rather be raped by? Biggie or Tupac?

Lots of tracks to pick from. I don't care much for lyrics but I do like the beat on Temptations and In this life I lead.

Temptations has a really good beat, I agree. Have you heard the mix with method man. It has a much more lively beat...

Other favorites are:

When Thugz Cry.
So Many Tears.
No More Pain.
Staring Through My Rearview.
Troublesome '98.
Until the End of Time.

And many more, but I'm more of a lyrics person.

Altho that statement is often used by people who do bad and know it. We have to judge each other everyday in order to make decisions. The statement is true in most respects, but some see it as an easy escape route.

When We Ride is a crazy beef track I like that. So is Bomb First. Do For Love is straight ghetto, that's the ghetto anthem and I love it!

Most tracks that people post up are the commercial ones, most of the underground/less heard tracks have more depth and volume to them. Omar you have good taste in such tracks bro.

What a tune

[Da1TruFOB]

To Live and Die in LA......due mainly to its candor. Also, its pretty amazing that he seems to have written it with the filters (social, image, etc) off and it still has a dope flow.

Us *****z hustle for the cash so it's hard to knok it
Everybody got they own thang, currency chasin
Worldwide through the hard times, warrior faces
Shed tears as we bury *****z close to heart
What was a friend now a ghost in the dark, cold hearted bout it
***** got smoked by a fiend, tryin to floss on him
Blind to a broken man's dream, a hard lesson
Court cases keep me guessin, plea bargain
ain't an option now, so I'm stressin, cost me more
to be free than a life in the pen
Makin money off of cuss words, writin again
Learn how to think ahead, so I fight with my pen
Late night down Sunset likin the scene
What's the worst they could do to a ***** got me lost in hell
To live and die in LA on bail, my angel sing
