I love how games can now look really cool, without having to be all about the graphics. Like for so many years FPS's were just a continual arms race to look prettier and prettier, and then everyone else was just lagging way behind.
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Are you honestly suggesting that Tupac deserved to be shot to death because of a song he wrote
No. I'm saying he wasn't a good guy.

And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
his wikipedia page does not put his death in a flattering light anyway
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
Oh yah Mobb Deep (uh)
You wanna fuck with us
You Little young ass motherfuckers
Don't one of you n***s got sickle-cell or something
You're fucking with me, n****a?
You fuck around and catch a seizure or a heart-attack
You better back the fuck up
Before you get smacked the fuck up
This is how we do it on our side
Any of you n****s from New York that want to bring it, Bring it.
But we ain't singing, We bringing drama
fuck you and your mother fucking mama.
We're gonna kill all you mother fuckers.
Now when I came out, I told you it was just about biggie.
Then everybody had to open their mouth with a mother fucking opinion
Well this is how we gonna' do this:

fuck Bad Boy as a staff, record label, and as a mother fucking crew.
And if you want to be down with Bad Boy, Then fuck you too.
Chino XL, fuck you too.
All you mother fuckers, fuck you too.
When he pulled the robot thing to him with the grapple claw and knifed the fucker I was like "fuck yeah!"
There are like 3 different points in the video, each of them on their own would have sold me:
1) He shoots gas canister, igniting it, and keeps shooting it to push in under the guy and set him on fire
2) The deformation of the tree when he grappled into it with the robot suit
3) He uses the box as portable cover, then launches it into the enemies' faces
It's always interesting that violent rap lyrics are considered proof that the artist is a bad dude and therefore had his death coming, while violent lyrics in pretty much any other genre don't.

I can see where you're coming from, but I don't think it's necessarily true. I guess it depends on where you draw the line between "gangster" rap and "other" rap.

at not being about gang culture or made by gangsters
conflating gangster rap and other forms of rap is a *dumb thing*

I was trying not to do that, but I guess I did?
I've met some people who are unfamiliar with rap and they assume that it's all "gangster rap" and I wasn't sure if that's what you were doing or what. Didn't mean to cause offence or anything.
Although, I suppose that assuming that a song made by a gangster is "fucking awful" is also a *dumb thing* but, whatever.

Alright so I guess making fun of people for having sickle cell anemia is cool if it's only on a record.
Also 2pac wrongfully blamed his shooting in 94 on Puffy and Biggie even though it's pretty certain they had absolutely nothing to do with it, Pac was the one who thought Who Shot Ya was about him even though it was recorded during the Ready to Die sessions, Pac was the one releasing inflammatory diss tracks even when Biggie wasn't release any responses.
Pac purposefully inflamed in east-west coast feud to build up his own image.
Also biggie was the better rapper with a nearly flawless discography and pac has a wildly inconsistent discography.
gangster rap is pretty fucking awful and perpetuates all sorts of negatives
it's just a reflection of the society they grew up in.
if you grew up in the 80s in inner city New York, with crack and aids all around you, and someone gave you a mic and let you talk about anything you want, what would you talk about?

I thought this was the mother fucking shit right here
"gangsta rap is pretty fucking awful and perpetuates all sorts of negatives"
i'm just curious as to how gangsta rap itself perpetuates any societal ills like gang violence, drug use, domestic violence, etc. i don't think i'm off by saying that those things are more products of poverty than ya know, gangsta rap.

I like that one too, and it is always awesome to learn about new hip hop, I especially like the part where he is going off and there is no music and then the gun goes off, that is badass how he uses it like a hook sorta.

Reminds me of HL2D

Yeah man, 2pac was a such a great guy. He never did anything to get himself killed...

I'd argue that it's their best song as a collective.
Posted this before but no one saw it so I'm posting it again.
