R.I.P. MC Breed

MC Breed was found dead at a friends house at the age of 37. MC Breed was most notably known for the 1991 hit "Aint No Future In Your Frontin" featuring 2Pac. He also had a group called the DFC that used to crank. They had that song with MC Eiht called "Caps Get Peeled". Rest in Peace homey.

2Pac Overrated? WTF?


Blender Magazine released a list of The 33 Most Overrated People, Places, Trends and Other Junk in Rock and 2Pac was #1 on the list. Read the entire list by clicking above or just read below what they said about Pac. My two cents-2Pac music > 98% of current rap artist catalogs

1. 2PAC
He had insane rock-star charisma. He admirably conceived of a gangsta rapper as a principled rebel. His booming baritone gave bass­lines competition for the most-trunk-rattling part of a hip-hop song. Hell, even Juice hasn’t aged nearly as badly as you’d expect. But while Tupac’s musical highs were epic—the pro-feminist “Keep Ya Head Up,” the terrifying “Hail Mary,” the boisterous “California Love”—that still leaves 15,837 other songs. He was a good rapper, not a great one: The guy larded records with self-mythologizing, mediocre filler that wouldn’t have made Biggie’s “give to Lil’ Cease” file. Maybe someone in his retinue could’ve stepped in during one of those legendary 96-hour recording binges and said, “Pac, instead of laying down this 14-minute rant about how Sun Tzu taught you how to take down the East Coast, how about some Yahtzee?” The man: awesome. The music: somewhat less than awesome.
