"There's 10 rules to the game"

[jason_g_718]

I was just in Life and I posted this here because I didn't want my message to get lost or overlooked and I didn't want people thinking I was double posting over there.

A thread starter there made a thread saying that in "Blasphemy" Pac says "there's 10 rules to the game, but I'll share with you 2", he then goes on to say Rule 1. is to "get your cash on MOB/ that's money over bitches cuz they breathe envy". He goes on to say that "Rule 2 is a hard one, watch for phonies/ keep your enemies close nigga, watch your homies".

The thread started then went on to ask what the "rest of the rules are", and someone responded with "the rest of the codes of Thug Life".

Now, I understand the codes of Thug Life and the rules, but, seeing as how religious "Blasphemy" is, I've always been under the impression that when Pac says "There's 10 rules to the game" that he was referring to the literal game of life and the 10 rules would thus be the 10 Commandments.

So, my question is, is there a right or wrong answer to this, or is it all in just how you percieve Pac's words?

i always thought that the 10 rules were talking about machiavelli's writtings.

yeah i read in one of machiavelli books which had a set of rules from 1-10 relating to the game of life.

wtf, it was probaly something he spat out when he was drunk, kids get tangled up in to much shit when it comes to rap

 

[Fonzy`]

he supposibly spits his version of the rules on the unreleased verse from Secretz of War

 

[Lok]

Almost every other rapper released a song at one time or another with their own "10 rules to the game", so don't look too much into it.

 

[roaches]

I can't believe this guy claims to have been listening to hip-hop for over two decades.

 

[cS bIsHoP]

Some people don't like answering this question.

I believe what Tupac is reffering to when he says there is 10 rules to the game, is the Rap Game - it fits with the ones quoted on Blasphemy, imo.
