Tupac's verse in Don't Stop The Music/Y'all Can't Stop Us (very political song)

[bjay]

Some interesting things I noticed while listening to Tupac's verse off this song. For those who don't know, Time Warner had owned 50% of Interscope Records in the 90's. They were under tremendous heat with politics over Interscope Records in relation to rap music and their artists (2Pac, Dr. Dre, Snoop, etc)...the whole mess with Dan Quayle, Delores Tucker, etc wanting to ban "gangsta rap". If you don't know already Time Warner cut all ties and sold their half of the company back to Interscope in late '95 as a result. This song was Tupac's response to the whole mess in which he disses Time Warner for dropping him and insulting the rap music genre by trying to censor it.

i'd hope that people knew this already, but if not it's a start for them to take the necessary trip back in time that newer hip hop fans should.
