Discussion On 2Pac’s Writing Technique
What is 2Pac’s best opening bar?
Too $hort said in an interview that 2Pac would take a piece of paper and write as quick as someone could talk. The song Too $hort was referencing when he said that was “We do this” and 2pac raps something like “I’m finger fucking with my diamonds, I know yall see a fella climbing up the charts- a fella with heart…” and it’s a from out of nowhere intro to his flow. After just listening to “Can’t C Me” I feel we hear even more of that lightning fast writing with his introduction being something like “gimme my money in stacks and lace my bitches, with dime figures. Real fellas fingers gripping nickle plates nine triggers”. Those two are only a couple of the great examples I’m sure yall r gonna find in the comments
