Nas really made timeless music. Seeing the kids playing “The World Is Yours” shows Hip-hop classics really do live forever. What rap classic should every generation know? 🌎🔥
2Pac and Mike Tyson.
Tyson got a nobody into a Brooklyn club in ’91. Pac never forgot it. He wrote him in prison, visited him, and stayed loyal when the fame flipped. Two fearless men who trusted almost nobody, and trusted each other.
In 1993 Biggie wasn’t The Notorious B.I.G. yet.
Just a kid from Bed-Stuy who walked in the booth, spat three verses in one take over an Easy Mo Bee beat, and dropped “Party and Bullshit” on the Who’s the Man? soundtrack.
That’s how a legend started.
Snoop Dogg recently revealed that he no longer gets along with his son:
“Yeah, that’s right. He did something really bad. I got a call from him begging me for money because he needed a new apartment and maybe a car so he could start his own life. He told me he had the skills to make it as a rapper, so I gave him $1 million, thinking he would use it wisely. But he didn’t buy the house or the car. He told me he spent all the money gambling. Now he’s begging me to let him come back home, but I’ve refused.”
