2Pac Friday

This 2Pac classic featuring Snoop Dogg was released when both rappers were at the height of their popularity but also in serious legal trouble, giving the track’s title a double meaning.

This song emphasizes the “double trouble” that is bound to unfold when you put two such heavyweights on the same track, “in the same motherfuck*ng place at the some motherfuck*ng time,” as 2Pac says. When that happens, you need to “break out the champagne glasses and the motherfuck”ing condoms,” in a nod to safe sex, because it’s going to be a “gangsta party”—and “nothing but” that: no filling, no additives, no fake stuff, no BS, just pure, unadulterated gangsta occurrences.

And when you put two such awesome rappers on the same song, you do get an awesome song. And when you listen to that song, you have an awesome day; and when that day happens to be Friday, you have an awesome 2Pac Friday.

Happy 2Pac Friday!
