@boepaynepill318 he's always relevant to those that matter. From the Front Porch just posted a live performance from Eiht. Now run along skinny jeans boi.
I'm 24 and i said this same junk about my generation mane lol. The OGs used to have some type of lyrical consistency to their rhymes, even when they was str8 up being wicked on a song. My peoples just be saying any and everything without no type of lyricism in it. I miss 2012-15ish when my generation still had a little bit of that old tradition lyricism in their songs.
When Tariq talks about Rappers doing or selling drugs, and the Consequence of it in a song, he's speaking about the 5th element of Hip-Hop, which is KNOWLEDGE. Most mainstream rappers dont "Kick KNOWLEDGE". Listen to Ice-T "New Jack Hustler" for the greatest example of that in a drug song !!!!!!!! Those bars are FIRE!!!!!!! Also, Straight Up Menace, by MC Eiht.
Another GREAT example of lifestyle consequence is Know The Ledge, from the Juice Soundtrack -Rakim. Know The Ledge is actually a breakdown of the word KNOWLEDGE = KNOW THE LEDGE, just thought of that!! Damn! after all these years!!

There is more of a back story to Sharif than any of those other characters except Cane. Sharif is a Ex Banger turned Muslim his Father is a Teacher trying to convince them away from street life. Having a Father in these movies is miracle no less educated and mentoring.

None of the other kats had a back story either. Kane gave a partial back story of Sherif in the beginning when Kane was naming all his homies and a brief characteristic about them. Anyway, O Dog didn’t have no back story, but PAC didn’t care. PAC wanted to be the actor that would get the most attention and that’s why he wanted O Dogs role.

Well at the part in the movie where they were explaining who everyone was they said Sharif " was an ex-knuckle head turn Muslim" or something to that affect. Wonder did they do that part as a way to mess with Pac?
You dont have to show everything in a movie. use your imagination. maybe he grew up in an environment which he saw that was senseless. knowing about him could be left open for another movie if they wanted to make a part 2. besides movies have a certain amount of running time and if shareef isnt the main character then his back story isnt really relevant

In other words the Hughes Brothers were making it seem like these characters were "born to be that way" and that is FALSE... cause there is back story of the pre-Civil Rights 1960s, post civil Rights 1960s and those riots which many have alleged were being orchestrated by a certain element of the police departments and politicians who never wanted to treat the black Americans like human beings... therefore there is a lack of humanity in Menace II Society and years later it kinda bothered me that the Hughes Brothers wanted to portray the main character as this "Disney next door safe looking guy who is really a mindless killer" in the way they cast him for his looks alone... and even if they didn't realize and it appeared to work... use your brain cause it is portraying the same image that a certain element of police departments and even Donald Trump has on black minorities who are underage especially when he paid all that money to have a newspaper splash page calling for the death penalty on five minority MINORS who were alleged by the police department to fit the description of the grape crime... Remember that word, "alleged" it means it has not been decreed by a judge cause the legal case had barely begun so those five minors had their private information and home phone numbers revealed... something that if it was five blonde kids that looked like Trump who were from the suburbs and were alleged in the same situation then you would NEVER have seen the police department and Trump himself behave the same way cause they would believe those were human beings but the other ones were not... that is the problem with characterization and even if Tupac didn't explain it that way, having a back story (literally a flash back scene in one minute... sixty seconds if well written and shot) would have saved that character and saved the others by pointing out the disenfranchisement that was going on.

That would of made the movie alot better if pac character had a back story. I grew up in the projects in the 80s and didn't join gangs because of what I experienced.
But his back story was clearly explained. We all know Shariff was active but had a religious awakening. We didn't get to know why exactly O-dog was a psychopath either but the character was still believable
That's the LA way of speech if you ever trip they ALL talk slow listen to Nipsey talk or other gang members.. they tend to be a little more careful with their words so that could be a reason && also probably just the laid back atmosphere of being in & from LA.. I'm from The Bay & I've noticed this about our LA cousins
I swear I listened to maybe 40 rappers in the 90s who bragged about doin real drugs😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂they swear it jus started. Man my whole 90s rap catalog rapped about doin hard drugs from, mobb deep, 36, C murda, Hotboyz, Soulja slim, Rae n Ghost, Dmx, Keith Murray, Pimp c, Brotha lynch, etc it was plenty
I was in 6th grade when your mama's on Sea Rock came out. That song made me never want to use it. I also remember when those pills were something only white housewives used to do.
Every time I click on TGC I always seem to forget Norm is going to be here. I wish sometimes he would just stay quiet. His voice really ruins the content.
Play you know rap was different than everybody had their own flow they had their own style of rapping and the internet and everything else you know today you listen to a song everybody sound in the same and this and that and you know what I'm saying you know it be you know I really don't know how to explain it but man every song anybody come out with they all sound the same and this and that you be like damn is this the same person as somebody else you know you be confused you know
Or you could run wit it and say Shariff is just a continuous character from boys in the hood who was a gangbanger who took the kids ball but turned his life around when he got with Wax, Caine , O dog
That pac interview on you tube explains it. There was no such thing as a gang banger turn muslim at that time and pac didn’t want to play a character that didn’t exist
I'm 39 now, but when i was 22 my sister in law's brother tried to talk about our music at that time... i respectfully disagree with Tariq on this. Its ALWAYS been bad since the 90s... you named a few songs and artists but i'd say AFTER The Run DMC, LL COOL J, and Ice T era... basically 1991 and beyond, the shit was glorified
Cap on needing to rewrite the hold movie. Just 2-3 mins of dialog would done the job. Saying Sharif was wild dude like some of the other characters then he kill someone & went to jail which change his views. To explain why he he didn’t get life they couldn’t said it was ruled self defense & only had to do a few years . If you want to make it more detailed /make it more thought provoking then u say he had to kill a family member of his (cousin, uncle or brother) of his who was from rival neighborhood/group & by killing that he saved Odog & some other folks in the neighborhood lives. Really isn’t rocket science lol. Plus the Hughs bro on record saying PAC was one of if main reasons the movie got green lit in the 1st place so whatever character he was playing should’ve been half assed. Just from business/marketing perspective.
What else did you really need to know about such a small part of the film? Did we also need to know about how Stacey didn't get involved with gangbanging but instead played sports?
I don't know about telling the truth comes off as jealousy to me besides he was involved in a bunch of gang banging drama with quick that could have ended his life a lot of people that speak on pac is very hypocritical and his career was garbage snoop does that same thing and he was way more involved than he admits to RIP king PAC the goat
I compare rap nowadays to old WWE when the wrestlers had to remain in character in public and that’s what rappers doing now it’s no breaks At least Lil Kim got to be Kimberly outside the booth and Pac said he wasn’t no gangsta but he’d got cancelled for that nowadays and Sexyy Red was literally in character after having a baby!! No wonder rappers so damn stupid they always in kayfabe or however u spell it

I love MC Eiht but goddamn he talk hella slow! Lol I be low key wanting to push a button to speed up the story somehow. 😂
That's the LA way of speech if you ever trip they ALL talk slow listen to Nipsey talk or other gang members.. they tend to be a little more careful with their words so that could be a reason && also probably just the laid back atmosphere of being in & from LA.. I'm from The Bay & I've noticed this about our LA cousins
I swear I listened to maybe 40 rappers in the 90s who bragged about doin real drugs😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂they swear it jus started. Man my whole 90s rap catalog rapped about doin hard drugs from, mobb deep, 36, C murda, Hotboyz, Soulja slim, Rae n Ghost, Dmx, Keith Murray, Pimp c, Brotha lynch, etc it was plenty
I was in 6th grade when your mama's on Sea Rock came out. That song made me never want to use it. I also remember when those pills were something only white housewives used to do.
"not my mama!" lol
Every time I click on TGC I always seem to forget Norm is going to be here. I wish sometimes he would just stay quiet. His voice really ruins the content.
Menace 2 society is definitely a classic..Vonte embodied "Shariff"; Pac on set acting all emotional like a ballerina..
you say the same shit over and over come up with something new lil boy
@Chrisironman31 That's why Orlando put him 2 sleep 4 Sticking his nose in Crip bizness!!
@Chrisironman31 Pac was all up in 🌈 clubs in Frisco..(fake revolutionary)
How about Dat one??
@@donald7723 he did do ballet in highschool 🩰
The G ain't even in E I H T 😂
1:47 these fiends tryna change the narrative “don’t call me a fiend” I just use drugz
Play you know rap was different than everybody had their own flow they had their own style of rapping and the internet and everything else you know today you listen to a song everybody sound in the same and this and that and you know what I'm saying you know it be you know I really don't know how to explain it but man every song anybody come out with they all sound the same and this and that you be like damn is this the same person as somebody else you know you be confused you know
Or you could run wit it and say Shariff is just a continuous character from boys in the hood who was a gangbanger who took the kids ball but turned his life around when he got with Wax, Caine , O dog
That pac interview on you tube explains it. There was no such thing as a gang banger turn muslim at that time and pac didn’t want to play a character that didn’t exist
Where did you get there was no such thing as gangbanger turn Muslim?🤦♂️🤣
How do you know it didn't exist?
@@BTman58 watch the interview pac did his words not mine
@adamkumi7122
Well, you seem to be backing up his statement.
Pac wouldn't know that for certain either, though.
Street guys been converting to Islam since the Nation came into being. Malcom was Detroit Red when he converted
Big U is Muslim
I'm 39 now, but when i was 22 my sister in law's brother tried to talk about our music at that time... i respectfully disagree with Tariq on this. Its ALWAYS been bad since the 90s... you named a few songs and artists but i'd say AFTER The Run DMC, LL COOL J, and Ice T era... basically 1991 and beyond, the shit was glorified
I agree
Cap on needing to rewrite the hold movie. Just 2-3 mins of dialog would done the job. Saying Sharif was wild dude like some of the other characters then he kill someone & went to jail which change his views. To explain why he he didn’t get life they couldn’t said it was ruled self defense & only had to do a few years . If you want to make it more detailed /make it more thought provoking then u say he had to kill a family member of his (cousin, uncle or brother) of his who was from rival neighborhood/group & by killing that he saved Odog & some other folks in the neighborhood lives. Really isn’t rocket science lol. Plus the Hughs bro on record saying PAC was one of if main reasons the movie got green lit in the 1st place so whatever character he was playing should’ve been half assed. Just from business/marketing perspective.
Yeah all they ever said about shafeef was “shafeef an ex-knuckle head gone Muslim”
What else did you really need to know about such a small part of the film? Did we also need to know about how Stacey didn't get involved with gangbanging but instead played sports?
Kam or Paris would have been perfect as Sharif
Facts
I don't know about telling the truth comes off as jealousy to me besides he was involved in a bunch of gang banging drama with quick that could have ended his life a lot of people that speak on pac is very hypocritical and his career was garbage snoop does that same thing and he was way more involved than he admits to RIP king PAC the goat
If glad 2Pac didn't get the role
Tariq is a hypocrite and shouldn't be looked up to as any type of leader.
@Rondondemarco😂😂
@Rondondemarco I saw it before it was deleted. The recessive gene part that causes a lack in mel______.
Real talk dude is a clown 🤡
@Rondondemarco Your point made it out of the black hole and reached an FBA, so the mission was accomplished! 🫡🫥
Nobody deleted anything. I don’t m one why y’all think these weirdo conspiracy theories are important enough for anybody to care about deleting
Ok
I compare rap nowadays to old WWE when the wrestlers had to remain in character in public and that’s what rappers doing now it’s no breaks
At least Lil Kim got to be Kimberly outside the booth and Pac said he wasn’t no gangsta but he’d got cancelled for that nowadays and Sexyy Red was literally in character after having a baby!! No wonder rappers so damn stupid they always in kayfabe or however u spell it
Mc eiht don't really be saying anything deep, he say the common things people already know.
Dog what does this got to do with real pain in society or fixing the problems with a solution.
Where does it say anything about that in the title?????????
@@SMOOTHCUTPRODUCTION All ya do is keep going in circles about Tupac this Tupac that I'm talking in general about Tariq nasheed he did hidden colors punk ass drill rappers came out after it was created what growth is happening none things got worst he supposed have been did something.
