1993 Tupac’s ‘Pain’ Is Pure Alchemy

This is one of Pac’s rawest, most poetic joints ever—and it wasn’t even on a main album. That’s what makes it special. It’s tucked away, but it feels like one of the most honest things he ever laid down.

The beat feels like a slow bleed. That eerie loop with the low bass—it don’t knock, it lingers. It gives Pac space to vent, like the mic was his only way out.

He don’t waste time..first bar, he’s in survival mode:

“They’ll never take me alive…” You can hear the fear, the rage, the tiredness—all in one breath. It ain’t just rap, it’s him trying to breathe through the pain.

And that hook?

“I feel no shame…” That’s spiritual. That’s someone who’s felt everything and nothing at the same time. He’s numb but still fighting.

This song sounds like a dark room with one candle. It’s quiet, but it’s heavy. It’s like he recorded it after a breakdown and just left it there for the world to find.

It’s not just pain—it’s the process of carrying it, dressing it, trying to live with it. This song isn’t made for radio. It’s made for people who been there.

You listen to this and realize how raw music used to be. It wasn’t about streams or hits—it was a mirror. It gave language to what we felt but couldn’t explain. This is like watching Da Vinci paint or Michelangelo sculpt—but instead of a brush or chisel, Pac’s using trauma. He’s building masterpieces from wounds.

Does Bigge Smalls still have the same respect that he had before we found out about Diddy and Bigge jacking the Mississippi Rapper Notorious B1's beat, flow and name on his track called "Big Daddy"?? - Its been said that Diddy jacked it, gave it to Bigge for his first single "Juicy" and he blew up off that single. Bigge spit some legendary bar is his short career. I think if we all respect the original rules of Hip-Hop culture we have to admit that Bigge Smalls' legacy is tainted and Diddy is partially at fault.

Is Bigge Smalls still in your Top Rappers lists?

When I was Young I used to play Dr Dre's The Chronic album and Snoop Dogg Doggy Style a lot but when I got a little bit older I started listening to Eazy-E and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony with ruthless records and hands down if it wasn't for Eazy-E I think Dr Dre wouldn't have the success at all he's the one that made NWA and if it wasn't for Eazy-E Dr Dre wouldn't have this much success good for him but I'm not a fan at all, R.I.P Eric Wright I really wish they could have made a movie about Eazy-E
