Presenting this song on Shade45 Marshall not just introduced it, he rapped opening bars.
Eminem included the first song from 2Pac’s triple-platinum album “Me Against The World” into his quarantine playlist to emphasise how incredible were Pac’s writing skills and how he was able to transmit his presence in every song he wrote:
This next song is from the artists that I feel might be the greatest songwriter of all time. Debate what you want about it, MC skills and all that, because he had that too. This is one of them songs by 2Pac. This is one of those songs where he was showing you: “I can write heartfelt shit and I can write lyrical crazy shit too”.
They say pussy and paper is poetry, power and pistols
Plotting on murdering motherfuckers ‘fore they get youThe play on p-words and all this shit, the way he was doing that is so crazy, mixed with the feel that 2Pac could give you. Which is constantly why I feel like he was always saying: “Can you feel me?!” Because you felt Pac. You can’t just listen to Pac, you would feel Pac. If you listen to him you’re gonna feel him.
