He was going at Stretch and B.I.G. in the first verse, the his enemies and lifestyle in the second, and the finally the girl in the third.

At the 10:34 timestamp he clearly says the name of the album was Euthanasia. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?...

****** Bleed, man one of my fav tracks. Nas is known for his storytelling, but B.IG. did it just as good. His imagery in the lyrics are perf. You can literally make a short movie off that song, and I got a Story to Tell.
Also, Sky is the Limit... :x best 112 song ever, and they got bangers. From that hook, to that last verse, and that last bar,"Stay far from timid. Only make moves when ya heart's in it, and live the phrase Sky's The Limit." Gives me goosebumps to this day. More so cuz he's gone. Thats some wise ish right there.

Nas
Pac
B.I.G.
Also Sky is the Limit is B.I.G.'s attempt to make an inspirational song, it was alright but not on the levels as Pac's inspirational songs. Also when people downplay Pac's lyrical ability is weird. He made a song that had alliteration throughout (If I Die 2Nite) and then the ending of Hit 'Em Up.

Big is the GOAT storyteller. That man was so detailed.
Somebody's Gotta Die
_'s Bleed
I Got A Story To Tell
Me & My B****
Classics.
Then probably Ghostface.

Life after death is probably the greatest hip hop rap album of all time
It's cinematic...a movie...no filler no fluff...just reads like a book
I don't know what to tell ya...the story telling...the Brooklyn ode...jay z collab...diddy ad libing...the subliminals to pac
Man oh man
Not to make this east coast west coast
But biggie won
Please don't tell me biggie lyrical prowess
Is beneath pac yelling screaming and rhyming Hennessy with enemies

This thread is borderline insulting, Pac sucked and so did the album.

off the top of my head Ghost, Cormega, Big Boi and 3k are all better story tellers than Pac

I chuckle when people attempt to say Life After Death has no filler. Please try and play that **** from beginning to end. You can't.
Sky's the Limit being 112s best song is another ****** joke. SMMFH.

Hypnotize, Mo Money, Miss U, Another, Going Back to Cali and Nasty Boy.
I've said on here before, Life After Death should be 14-15 songs. Would be better than his debut.
Playa Hater is a top 5 song on the album.

mo money
Hypnotize
Going back to Cali
Are club party radio friendly songs
Every rap album has them
You'd be hard pressed to find a person from the mainstream who doesn't recognize those songs

Dear Mama is def a story, but its not really vivid with imagery making you feel as if you're there.

Hypnotize and Mo Money are trash. Straight up filler. Commercial singles so you can even give those a pass. I listed four other songs I wish to never hear again. That's filler.

I like Mo Money
I didn't like Hypnotize when it came out, but now I do and its a gym playlist song.
That stems from him doing poetry
but word play and lyrics, naw. Tupac was pretty much straight to the point. You didn't rewind it and say what did he say or repeat what he said multiple times to understand the meaning.
and you need to include Jay, Masta Ace, Black Rob, Scarface and Slick Rick in storytelling discussions.

Repped for the Black Rob mention. My guy could rap and tell stories for real.
