    Cant Stop The Prophet is dope, but Brenda's Got a Baby is top 3 status, from the story,message , influence (luda's "runaway") etc.

    Cant Stop The Prophet
    Are we voting for the song or the story?

    Cause Can't Stop the Prophet has a better beat and therefore is a better song.

    The beat to Brenda's Got A Baby is kinda weak even if its a great story.

    Also, there's a Pete Rock Remix to Can't Stop The Prophet


    Can't Stop The Prophet (Pete Rock Remix) - Jeru The Damage

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GVeWm3Uk6M


    ? it, I'm voting for Jeru

    The beat does determine which is the better song.

    I don't know what planet you live on or what kinda speakers you have but if the beat isn't knocking I don't wanna hear it.

    First of all you're a Tupac stan, I can tell by your profile.

    Second of all, this isn't a new theory. Half of a song is the beat, the other half is the lyrics. Even if your rhymes are 100, if the beat is wack you still get an F.

    Can you really say with a strait face that you've never considered that the beat makes up half the song?

    And the title of this thread isn't "Best Story", the title of this thread is "Best story telling track" which presumably includes the beat.

    Brenda got a baby beat is wack? I think it is perfect low key type somber beat to go along with the story. I never thought of the beat as wack.

    You said the beat determines which is the better song, which is ? . Ofc the beat is a factor , but it's not the end all be all in determining which is the better song. You know how many wack ? have goat production but make wack songs?

    and lol @ pac stan, Ive voted against Pac on mad polls(reasonable doubt vs 7 day theory for ex) , far from a stan b.

    Between Brenda's Got A Baby, The original version of Can't Stop The Prophet and the Pete Rock remix of Can't Stop The Prophet, when I'm driving down the ave or smoking an L in my living room, Brenda's Got A Baby would be the last song I'd bump out of the three. And the reason why is because of the beat...and the story's depressing. I don't want to here about a girl throwing her baby in the garbage.

    I love how BGAB starts

    I hear Brenda's got a baby
    But, Brenda's barely got a brain
    A damn shame
    The girl can hardly spell her name
    (That's not our problem, that's up to Brenda's family)
    Well let me show ya how it affects the whole community

    True, he shouldve wore lugz and a tore t shirt and did the whole video standing in the dumpster with brenda.

    but in pac's defense, his lyrics go well with the beat so I don't know wtf is so wack about the Brenda beat. if anything, the production for Jeru's track is too loud and overshadows his voice.

    Not even close, Jeru's flow, beat was on point. Lyrically he was on some next level ? . Pac's ? was basic, wack beat, slow, depressing song.

    Lol @ the strawman argument that Jeru was better lyrically. He was mumbling ? . Tupac actually said something that affects the whole community.

    There should be a Cash Money remix about Birdman (brenda) throwing Cash Money artists into the bushes...

    The beat to "Brenda's Got A Baby" is actually nice to me but the whole 2Pacalypse Now album is mixed and mastered terribly, when you rip that CD to your iTunes you gotta turn it up 5 notches just to properly hear it when a song from that album comes on. At least they restored it for his Greatest Hits along with "Trapped" but I guess we're forever lost when it comes to hearing a clean/remastered version of "Part-Time ? " which is one of the most underrated Pac joints there is.
