Resist The Temptation made me cry

[Kadafi Son]

Right now, I've listened to this track at least 10x straight. Listening to this track reminded me of how relative and poetic Pac was. Read and pay attention to every line:

"No one was there when I took the wrong path
And nobody'd care if I died in a blood bath..."

then he goes on into the verse to rap about the temptation to blow his brains out. Damn...then when he kills himself with his gun, he continues it with his wife killing herself with the gun and their son goes to a fosterhome and the aftermath of the actions of suicide. I think I'm damn near crying hearing this story. The beat and the decent hook draws me into this song even deeper.

Did anybody feel the same way?

 

[yak pac fatal]

i didnt cry but its a very deep song, i wish the hook wasnt so corny imo

 

[Radafi]

The two new songs are two of the greatest stories ever told in a song.

How Did Amaru Mix Them?

 

[Rahim]

i dont think it was deep enough for me

 

[Yaki]

I agree, the song is so deep, belongs to Pac at its finest. Like not a single cuss word. Just his greatness as a juvenile MC.
FINALLY, Amaru understands/HAS TO understand that one unreleased new Pac song a record is special enough to the CD awesome. I wish they had figured that out when they were continuously throwing out double-CD's with too many tracks.

 

[Snowman]

yeah im feelin resist the temptation and dopefiends diner, Amaru did a great job with these songs.

was dopefiends diner made in the early 90's (92-93)?? just curious

 

[khamla]

I haven't heard Amaru's Resist the Temptation yet.

EDIT: OK i just heard it, VERY WELL DONE! Good job Amaru! I rememeber i got into a argument on here with someone that they shouldn't remix it. I said they should, i'm glad they did. It sounds good. Still mad at the track list though on how they combined the Greatest Hits 1 into this but hey whatever.

Come to think of it they did amazing job on Temptation.
It's initially much worse track than dopefiend's diner and much less controversial. Unfortunately they sound similarly good because they totally destroyed Dopefiend's diner.
Big D's original version would be much much better but I agree that Temptation remix is much better than og.

Consider the fact that both tracks were meant for 2pacalypse now.. Yes.. Dopefiend's diner too. Picture that track being released on that album. I'm sure Pac didn't release that because he knew that people aren't ready for it yet.
It would be so strange, it's relevant to hip-hop these days tho so Pac did what rappers do today (singing-like verses) 15 years before.

i agree, i think the 2nd cd of better dayz is an exception to this.

i think that maybe 50% of pac stuff out there would benefit a remix, say in the same style as whatz ya fone#.

i think the dj one mixtape heart of a thug ghetto gosbel. had some wicked remixes on that would be great mixed in a studio. here it is

 

[Icecixz]

yeah good post by the topic starter!!...much props...anyways yeah its a deep song...i have the OG and the vibe was way off...DopeFiends Diner was truly a heartbreaker for me...."Oh how i hated everyone there" was a verse that struck me the most....

 

[Euphanasia]

That song is amazing. God, I miss 'Pac

 

[MarveL]

Yep truly amazing track, betta then dope fiends diner..
we are a bunch of blessed mfers to still have these kind of tracks after so many years.
