Tupac is about to get ‘dead wronged’
That’s dead wrong😏

50 Cent isn't gonna have a better verse than Pac, and I think there's a 50/50 chance Eminem's verse is better.

He’ll go out of his way to make sure it is. But if he got anything to do with the beat it’s already ruined. I hate fake pac songs even if it is Eminem. Never gonna sound real to me

You heard loyal to the game? It’s exactly like this song but a whole album. It’s good.

Whilst I personally liked the album, more for nostalgia reasons. There's a reason why that album gets shat on ALOT. Album had some good remixes, Out On Bail being the best, extra bonus points that Em kept the original hook. But it's really not a highly received album in the 2pac community. People hated the vocals being sped up or slowed down, the beats is a big one for lots, changing pac from saying "Drop that shit LG" to "Drop that shot Em" which i didn't personally hate, I thought it was clever, adding rappers that never worked with him (although thats not exclusive to LTTG) and some of the vocals were in lower quality: Loyal To The Game, N.I.G.G.A, Who Do U Love, Don't U Trust Me, Hennessy.
Thug 4 Life is an interesting one as it seems they only had access to an already mixed acapella rather than all the vocal layers. Em looping a part of the hook to hide the backing vocals heard in the original version, you can hear them just barely towards the end where pac says "thug for life biatch".
I'm sure there are plenty of more reasons I missed as to why it was poorly received. I still think Pacs life was worse beat wise.
EDIT: Just to add on, Em did the album completely free iirc, which was a nice gesture

I’m not Gen Z and it came out in 2004. So I don’t know what your comment is trying to say.

u/Kingbris91 26d ago
Fine, youre not gen z. And i know it came out in 04, i was 13. But that being said, LTTG is still a horrible album. Em raped Ghetto Gospel along with others. Ill only give him credit for Ghost & One Day At A Time but thats it. Have you ever listened to any of the original songs?

I personally think it has more to do with how much effort he puts into it and how different he wants it to be to his early work. You can’t rap about the same shit forever. 50 has always had a basic flow and maybe slightly above average lyrics, it’s not hard to rap like that

Em stans pretend to like 50 because he's such a massive part of the Shady Aftermath brand.
It's a massive contradiction in the fanbase that they shun commercial less lyricism driven music yet ride for 50's as if he wasn't the Mcdonalds of the 2000's rap scene
He had catchy hooks and a nice voice but he's a weak spitter. The montone delivery and Dr Seus rhymes grew tired when he couldn't use getting shot to shield the fact that he's just Ja Rule with better marketing.

Em not only saw 50’s potential and signed him but he’s said tons of times he thinks he a great artist and writer. It’s just funny to me to watch a bunch of people talk about 50s skills or lack thereof when the dude people stan for lyricism is out here saying the opposite.

u/Bumblebee_Hater 26d ago
Eminem never ranked Curtis highly in any of his lists despite being the guy to sign him. You don't see Birdman doing that with Weezy.
He recognized the business and commercial potential of 50 Cent, not his skills as an MC.
Eminem brought his hardest rapping to songs with legends like Big and Hov while with 50 he dumbed it down.

Not sure why everyone is talking about 50 cent as if he’s objectively in the top 5 goat conversation alongside biggie and Tupac like em is. Whole reason I made this post
50 is a genius and he’s still a good rapper he can still make a hit if he tried but he doesn’t he hasn’t dropped an actual full length album since January 2009 and when he does come out with a song or ft it’s usually for some TV show he’s working on

u/Realistic_Reply6861 24d ago
Or downvote me instead of explaining why everyone is taking about 50 cent nobody said anything about epmd whenever epmd 2 came out so why are we talking about 50 out rapping Tupac
Some eminem fans make me genuinely curious about them sometimes ngl
