Bay Area connection. These guys as per usual being homies and making dope collabs. This was one of 2Pac's last features before his death and it released around that same time which made it even more eerie Dope track. Perfect for the Halloween season

Pac basically predicted his own death with these lyrics

Richie Rich has one of the illest Rap voices ever

theres multiple post verses like this either in feats or want ready for proper release

this is my fav pac and fav rap song of all time

east coast born, west coast raised

the biggie shot too lmao he went out cursing that man along with jay n diddy

Rick Rock one of the most underrated producers btw.

It is rumored that Snoop Dogg was influenced by him. In Addition, Snoop Dogg got the name for his old group, 213 (with Warren G and Nate Dogg), from Richie Rich's own group called 415. Pretty interesting stuff

Came in to say the same. One of the illest rap voices. Bay Area’s very own!

There’s also 112

yeah the bay n la used to be really connected in the 80s n 90s which fell out in the 2000s unfortunately

but rbl posse. deltron 3030 + del (who is also ice cubes cousin, too short, mac mall, e40, spice 1, mistah fab, the luniz all them niggas was back n forth with la - ice cube and 2pac bridged a lot of it which would spread to dudes like snoop

too short is one of the earliest rappers and especially for west along with ice t which is also why almost every LA nigga is cool with short lmao

my home my birth

the bayarea has a lot of connects to the south up from the 80s to the 2000s from scarface n master p to lil john etc. and s*** like Zaytoven is originally from the bay from e40s camp which he then moved to atlanta in the mid to late 2000s

because a lot of black people in the mid 1900s migrated from the south to the bay, while black people from the midwest/east migrated to LA

this verse lowkey confirms the rumor of 2pac and death row running into biggie, puff , and bad boy at the soul train awards and biggie getting socked in his eye

Yep pretty crazy

This that West Coast s*** not no Peaches & Cream

It's very interesting. The Great Migration

Offtopic, but I don't hear a lot discuss about folks from the South migrating to the East Coast. I think it's an underrated aspect that kind of gets ignored but you can kind of feel it in a lot of Mid School Hip Hop imo

Wow...he really knew it was coming

never heard this before. pac was rly splitting like the world was gonna end in his last verses man

Yep indeed. Kinda chilling when you think about it

Wtf this like the best song like ever

nothing can ever match the atmosphere, the isolation + paranoia + ANIMONSITY + claustrophobic vibe, the detailed storytelling, the movie-like quality, the rawness, the crazy beat & the concept of it all along with all the crazy effects and 4th wall breaking without being so on the nose or corny

i never tell a lie

WHEN I DIE REINCARNATE ME AS A MAC-11
