What if Pac had responded to Drop A Gem On 'Em...?
I think about this every now and then...
Drop A Gem On 'Em was released to radio stations on August 25th 1996, so roughly two weeks before Pac got shot on Sept 7th. I wonder if Pac got to hear the track? And if he planned another diss track in return, or even recorded one?
I wonder what Pac's retaliation would have been like. He's taken shots at Mobb Deep before obviously, but only little jabs really, calling them young kids and mentioning Prodigy's sickle cell. But Mobb Deep ripped Pac apart on Drop A Gem On 'Em... Pac would have had to come back harder!
When it comes to lyrics and MC ability, I take Mobb Deep (and specifically Prodigy) over Pac. I would have loved to see this battle develop more on wax though, unfortunately it was cut short.
Peace!
