How the hell does those this track get so highly rated and praised? I just saw a list on Complex.com listing the 10 greatest diss track. And it was #2 behind 'takeover'. This sh1t was actually higher than 'ether'.
1. nothing cleaver at all
2. consisted of lies
3. too much shouting, which made him look mad sensitive
4. nursery rhyming to the T
5. only spent 1 minute and the half rapping, the rest of him talking and giving out empty threats.
6. had to get the Outlaw involved on the track because he wasn't witty enough to say anything else.
7. known more for the passion in his voice than the actual lyrics
8. more style over substance
9. wished ill will toward Biggie's kids and mom
10. who shot ya was a far superior diss

Re: Why is 2Pac's "Hit em Up" so overrated?
he didn't say anything innovating. He didn't expose anybody. All I'm saying is, if we step back for a minute and compare it to other diss tracks, this sh1t would be lost in the shuffle. Originally Posted by GOBB

Yeah, Hit' Em Up was a raw diss.
Hey OP....let me put this way....
If I was a rapper......and Jay-Z and Pac diss me with those songs
if I listen to Takeover and I would feel it hurts my pride.
if I listen to Hit'Em Up and I would feel unsafe.

It's not that great of a diss song because it's not a diss song.
It was a f*cking death threat

Re: Why is 2Pac's "Hit em Up" so overrated?
His song wasnt meant to be that. Sorry you was expecting some witty and creative diss record. This was a blunt, straight to the point diss. He took the term "F*ck you" and defined it with verses. He exposed smashing Biggie wife. Entire record he was just attacking everyone with Bad Boy, associated with Bad Boy. It riled people up especially if you were from the West Coast. Got folks amped/hyped up because 2pac was representing the West Coast. But again, sorry if he didnt spit lines that went over your head and made you go back to it and say wow, that was deep and dope!

When Hit' Em Up came up and everybody went crazy.
Pac was more like f*ck the subliminal...I'll straight up say your name mfer.
When you listen to his song you would feel his pain and understand why he angry.
Do you know that Pac used that beat from Biggie Small's Get Money Remix and he flipped that shit.
