2pac Shakur treated the studio like a mission, not a session.
At Death Row Records, he ran multiple rooms, recorded verses in one take, and knocked out 4–5 songs a day. By 25, he had over 700 recordings and multiple platinum albums.
Work ethic that felt like he knew time wasn’t on his side. 🕊️🔥
If someone is racist, he or she should be at least consistent. Black innovations aren’t a side note in history; they’re an infrastructure of modern life.
In 1984, Nike signed rookie Michael Jordan to a 5-year $2.5 million deal requiring him to meet at least one of four criteria within 3 years to avoid early termination:
• Be named Rookie of the Year
• Average 20+ points per game
• Make the All-Star Game
• Generate $4 million in shoe sales by year 3
Jordan met all criteria in his FIRST year 😳
Rookie of the Year ✅
28.2 points per game ✅
All-Star ✅
$100 million in shoe sales (1984–85) ✅
No matter what they say about me
Just keep in mind that I sound like me and me only my flow and the pockets and patterns that I choose have never been used I’m built from scratch with no handouts attached signed myself 39 years ago made myself wealthy & successful. I owe it all to GOD My family & fans - E-40
Underrated part of Michael Jordan's game?
His Hands, which are measured at 9.75 inches long & span almost 11.4 inches.
At 6'6", that's MASSIVE-hand length for even a 7'9" guy, or 8'0" player. Even bigger than Kawhi's despite the same length.
That made Faking Easy😤🖐️🏀🐐
If you luv writing and recording rap music.. never fear becoming older in a space that often focuses on ageism.. I’m having a great time in the booth.. saying things I wouldn’t have said in my 20’s.. It’s like graduating to the next level. Just don’t be wack. Good luck.
