Ha, now there are two Matticus'. Or Mattici. Mattici? Yeah, Mattici. Lets go with that
I happen to enjoy listening to a lot of modern hip hop like Drake & Lil Wayne. I dig their beats, and often laugh at some of their stupid lyrics.
I dig a lot of 90s hip hop, I grew up on that stuff.
Dont think youre original Chris, my friend Cassie already coined the term Mattici.![]()
Yeah, the thread is about over if we're going to talk about 2 PAC now.
-Mike
Why?
2Pac is the default rapper chosen by those who don't know what they're talking about. But I won't go so far as to say that's the case here![]()
What?
None of us would be here today is the old school hadn't paved the way.

Huh? 2Pac isn't old school...or maybe he is, and I'm just old now. But I dug a lot of his contemporaries more than I did him. I still think he got a lot more run as a rapper than he should have; a lot of that, of course, has to do with him being a "martyr," of sorts. I got all of his stuff and tried to get into it like everyone else...but there was never a whole lot of creativity there for me

So now 2Pac is old school?![]()
