"Tragedy Khadafi, a protege and close friend of Intelligent Hoodlum…"

Yeah, that's really weird. The fuck?

I can somehow picture Braff going up to Prodigy and being like "I really love 'Firestarter', bro!"

"One of the Jungle Brothers' first hits was 'Jimbrowski,' a tribute to a well-liked, 7-foot-tall gentleman who was incredibly helpful to those around him."

Nah, it was always a Mobb Deep album, no rebranding. They had long since changed their name to Mobb Deep from Poetical Prophets when Juvenile Hell came out.

It's just a remake of Whodini's "One Love" though (no diss to YBE or its beat): https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Yeah, it's funny his Death Row work gets most of the attention when the 'Pac everybody celebrates is much more in evidence on 2pacalypse, Strictly, and Me Against The World.

Future AV Club hip-hop obits:

Pac was really great, but the myth sadly often clouds or gets in the way of his work, which was often great. 2Pacalypse Now and Strictly For My… are incredibly great and way underrated, for instance.

Yeah, as mentioned elsewhere, the fact that they claim they took Pac's diss "in stride" while somehow missing the existence of the infamous and not-at-all-obscure "Drop A Gem On 'Em" is making me cringe inside.

And he dissed Keith Murray on a track both were featured on! They actually had to censor that part on the "dirty" version.

Wrong. They are just as great.

I think quite a few legendary hip-hop artists went there as well. Organized Konfusion and Masta Ace if I recall correctly.

If you grew up in the 90's, you know his verse on that by heart, or you're lying.

Maybe it's the hip-hop nerd in me, but I hate how more than any other genre news outlets seem to embarrass themselves when it comes to talking about the body of work of hip-hop artists. It's kinda absurd.

And second track on one of their most celebrated albums!

"Think fast and get reminded of robberies in Manhattan/You know what happened/60 G's worth of gun clapping."

Haha, I was about to say! Someone needs to do a little more research. It wasn't exactly an obscure track either.

I think P had more of a hand on Juvenile Hell (for the tracks credited to Mobb Deep), but I think Havoc was more on the production end by The Infamous. This is what I remember from Brian Coleman's book.

Never had a dull experience at a Sunn O))) show. Total body music; you FEEL it all over. Saw a woman at one stumbling around really dramatically, to the point where security removed her. I'm almost positive she was tripping on ketamine, which I can't imagine doing at such a physically and aesthetically intense show.
