2pac storyteller, poet , uplifting. hard worker. king of quotes.. his battle shit was weak.. bad a bad ass gangster Rapper with knowledge lyrics he was a Rapper Not an emcee biggie had flow complex ryhmes, knowledge lyrics. Homophone, & metaphors punchlines. just raps after ryhmes change the Game nobody Is on his drug storytelling, gun metaphors and nobody has his patterns. he was a lyricist.. Emcee/ rapper battle lyricist. Nas was a street poet. street storytelling machine. thug poet, history storytelling. battle lyricist Emcee/Rapper

[@Greatness2801]

I'm African American and Jamaican and I don't see why we r all arguing n fussing each other out. I'm not a Somalis and I still can understand the mean of this song by K'Naan and Nas. We have a different culture but we are still from the same people. There is no way to prove race. So instead of aiming at each other throats, why not see the song for what it is. To different people of two different backgrounds coming together. Now lets see this become the top comment instead of something negative

[@sauravkumar-jv8nt]

I remember the time it used to come in vh1. It was beautiful

[@Yesmehtrini]

K'naan's lyrics were crazy.. I wish the hook was more mean.. Underrated Rapper.. Spit more lyrics like that and he may get a Illmatic out of it..
