Back to the Future 4: Hip Hop Gods Return
Dear NiggaKnow,
What do you think the hip-hop scene would look like if Tupac and B.I.G.were still around today?
White Motherfucker
Dear white dude who wore FUBU in the 90’s,
You ain’t really seeking no advice from a nigga, but I can see where this shit got you hurting, especially with today being the 10th anniversy of Biggie’s death. The hip hop game has been all fucked up since they’ve been gone. Them two niggas dying allowed motherfuckers to get away with some crazy shit. For instance, Mannie Fresh playing a damn harpsichord on them Cash Money albums, and a nigga like DMX selling millions by literally barking on tracks. Who knew making some fucking animal sounds entertained white motherfuckers so much?
On top of all that shit, pussy ass niggas have infested hip hop. Not just the music itslef, but in the overall mentality of these motherfuckers. It used to be that when two rap game niggas were beefin shit would get solved by busting a few shots. But how it works now is if one “hip hop artist” has a problem with another “hip hop artist” he’ll write a fucking song about him on a mixtape, like he some damn angry female singer-songwriter that’s been ’scorned by a former lover’ or some shit.
I just can’t picture Tupac and B.I.G. in today’s rap game though. Biggie would have had like three heart attacks by now if that nigga didn’t do something drastic with his weight. And you can bet your ass (and them Karl Kani jeans you probably still got on it) that greedy nigga Diddy would have had B.I.G.’s stomach stapled with a gold Bad Boy medallion.
As far as Tupac goes, niggas still think that motherfucker IS in the rap game. Not only is he steady pushing albums like yay in blue tops, but niggas swear they see him all the time around the hood, like pieces of food that look like Jesus sold to dumb white motherfuckers on Ebay. You also got to keep in mind that ‘Pac and B.I.G. would be like 40 by now, that’s 73 in rap years.
They’d still be controlling the hip hop game if they were around though. You know they wouldn’t have allowed niggas like Cam’ron to run around ass out wearing all that pink gear. That nigga looks like a gay eskimo. And bitch made motherfuckers wouldn’t have dared to sell out and show they face in them ads for fucking skin care product.
Shit, selling out is probably the main thing Tupac and B.I.G. would have affected. You ain’t gon’ hear “Juicy” in a Kool Aid ad, or some white motherfucker say “have it your way” in a Burger King commercial while “How do you want it” plays in the background. We can only hope that ‘Pac would have been able to stop Snoop from disgracing himself in a Chrysler commercial with that white motherfucker Lee Iacocca.
Shits that wouldn’t have gone down if Biggie and Pac were still with us:
1. T.I. wouldn’t be sampling Crystal Waters (Why You Wanna)
2. Snoop would still be too scared to talk shit about Suge
3. Usher
4. There still would be some backpack brothas, but they’d have like 50, 60 guns instead of books in them shits
5. Kanye
6. Pac would have released far fewer albums
7. They both would have fallen off by now. Don’t believe me? You still bumpin’ Ja Rule?
Josh:
That’s some true shit for real, but the difference between us niggas is that I ain’t never bumped no motherfucking Ja Rule.
