Pimp C almost turned down a Jay Z feature because his love for Tupac "Big Pimpin"

[Don Dada]

“When that first call came from JAY-Z, we were at the house in Atlanta, and [Pimp C] looked up at the wall. And he just stared at the picture. And I’m like, ‘What are you doing?’ And he said, ‘I’m thinking what would 2Pac do right now? And 2Pac wouldn’t want me to fuck with him. That’s why I said, I’m not coming to New
York.”

Bun continued. “And Pimp C did not want to fuck with people that 2Pac did not fuck with, because he thought 2Pac was the best judge of character.”

Bun B: Pimp C Told Jay Z The TV Ain't Got No Temperature and walked out of the room, Jay Looked At Me And Said Your Brother a fucking star

Pimp c end up giving Jay 8 bars

Damn really? Bun been telling this story for a decade plus.

Tupac being the best judge of character was always a stretch..

Pac always seemed as if HE couldn’t be trusted..

But a snake always recognizes a snake…that includes Jay-Z

 

[AZTG]

I thought the exclamation mark would make it obvious that he was being sarcastic

A better thread would beg the question….. is there a better guest verse on a jayz album because I can’t think of one. Only one in that league is renegade, and ironically… Nas made that iconic. Beans on do it again was crazy too, I remember when we heard it we was like hol up who the fuck is that?

 

[BRIAN B.]

shit still funny how Pimp was trollin, said he gon talk bout the most country shit

& his verse still ended up bein the fan favorite

no…..no…..ehhh…..definitely up there….no…. HELL NO.

again, none of those stand up to what pimp did in 8 bars. Especially since it ain’t even seem like he was tryin.

Those verses are definitely better. Pimp verse is More popular is what you getting at.
The best thing about Pimp’s verse is the simplicity of it…easy to learn, simple cadence…his charisma took it over the top

NOBODY else could have done that verse and it it hit like that

If an artist paints a picture nobody else can paint… doesn’t that mean… I mean even subjectively… doesn’t that make it like…. I rest my case.
