Interesting tweet from Coach Wheatley
Not every tweet from a coach is noteworthy but considering Coach Wheatley does not tweet often, this could definitely be something worth noting. He is the primary recruiter for Isaiah Wilson, who attends Poly Prep in Brooklyn.
Is Brooklyn in the house? - Without a doubt, Biggie Smalls the fella with clout everybody yapping about...The Notorious B.I.G!

Listen and enjoy
February 18th, 2016 at 7:44 PM ^
Hence, you couldn't ever appreciate the Biggie vs 2pac feud.
February 18th, 2016 at 7:47 PM ^
I was like 8 when they died. I wasn't really a rap fan at that point either...
February 18th, 2016 at 7:52 PM ^
I was alive when Hit Em Up came out. Came out almost a year after I was born lol.
I can still appreciate great music. There's no age limit on that.
February 18th, 2016 at 8:07 PM ^
My point was that hit em up is not a good 2pac track. Yes, i get why you referenced it because it was a diss track aimed at Biggie. However, it was painfully obvious you didn't grow up during that feud if you called that "great music". To Live and Die in L.A. and California Love are way more fitting of that category. Either way, I am just busting your chops.
February 18th, 2016 at 8:10 PM ^
Hail Mary is his best song imo. I just love Hit Em Up because it's the best diss track I've personally heard.
Ambitionz and Picture Me Rollin are also great.
February 18th, 2016 at 8:34 PM ^
You've never heard Ether? Or Takeover? No Vaseline? The Warning? The Sauce?
...stick to Back 2 Back young pup.
February 18th, 2016 at 8:39 PM ^
Holy shit man, I'm just stating my favorite songs of his. Mine.
February 19th, 2016 at 9:45 AM ^
You don't think Jay-Z has any good diss records?
February 18th, 2016 at 9:12 PM ^
Don't forget biggies "long kiss".
"Uhh.. I'm flamin gats, aimin at, these f...in
maniacs, put my name in raps, what part the
game is that? Like they hustle backwards
I smoke Blackwoods and Dutchies, ya can't touch me
Try to rush me, slugs go, touchy-touchy
You're bleedin lovely, wit'chyo, spirit above me
or beneath me, your whole life you live sneaky
Now you rest eternally, sleepy, you burn when you creep me
Rest where the worms and the weak be
My nine flies, baptize, rap guys
With the Holy Ghost, I put holes in most
You hold your toast shaky, slippin tryin to break me
Look what you made me do, brains blew
My team in the marine-blue, six Coupe
Skied it out, weeded out, cleanin out -- the block
for distances, givin long kisses B.....
February 18th, 2016 at 9:27 PM ^
pretty tough to ever top cube's no vaseline
February 19th, 2016 at 12:48 AM ^
representin, Violent, 5 deadly venoms, most of Pac's better song didn't get played on the radio. Really makes me mad when I hear rappers like Kanye talk bad about 2Pac. Pac was the main reason rap record went from selling 800k to 8 million.
February 18th, 2016 at 8:35 PM ^
I'm sorry had to intervene and say Hit em up was and still is the greatest diss song ever!!!!!
February 19th, 2016 at 12:50 AM ^
You must have never heard Ether
February 19th, 2016 at 2:26 AM ^
Krs-One's "The Bridge is Over" is still the best diss track ever (and didn't even need to any curse words), but Ether is the track by which all other diss tracks will forever be judged.
And although his career was brief, Canibus' "2 Round KO" is still one of my favorites.
February 19th, 2016 at 7:12 PM ^
The thing about "The Bridge is over" is every track back in them days was a diss track. I got nothing bad to say about KRS-one, he and Rakim are easily two of the best most under rated rappers of all time
February 19th, 2016 at 5:43 AM ^
Eazy E's "Real Muthaphuckin Gz" and Mobb Deep "Drop a Gem on Em" are better than Hit em up.
February 19th, 2016 at 7:14 PM ^
you lost me when you mentioned anything Eazy - E did after Cube quit writing for him
February 19th, 2016 at 9:01 AM ^
Back to Back
February 18th, 2016 at 8:43 PM ^
I'd argue hit em up is the best diss track ever. Pac's anger is incredible. you can feel it as a listener.
the insults to Puff, Jr. Mafia, Jay ... are also impressive. I mean people are going crazy over Drake for Back 2 Back, but he's coming after a nobody in Meek vs. PAC who came after the whole East coast. at that time, Hot97 didn't even play 2Pac, because we all hated him in NYC.
February 18th, 2016 at 8:54 PM ^
There's an urban legend that Jay Z recorded a diss track on 2Pac that was on the level of Hit Em Up but he never released it for obvious reasons.
February 18th, 2016 at 9:14 PM ^
Jay Z is incapable of that
February 18th, 2016 at 9:24 PM ^
That's why I call it an urban legend. DJ Clark Kent said he performed it once, and that was it.
"There'd be no coming back from it", he said.
February 18th, 2016 at 9:33 PM ^
in that link disagrees
February 19th, 2016 at 9:48 AM ^
Well, you definitely would know so I'm taking your word for it.
February 18th, 2016 at 9:01 PM ^
A) Meek Mill, who is supposed to be as street as they come, came after Drake out of nowhere unprovoked.
B) Let's be honest, 2Pac and Big were close to equals as far as the rap game went. When Drake fired back at Meek, Drake was the underdog. But when you come out with the line "You gettin bodied by a singin' n****. I'm sorry, that's a 1 hit KO. Made Meek look flat silly for coming after Drake and destroyed his cred entirely. Everyone makes fun of Meek Mill now. Meanwhile, everyone still respects Big and 2Pac equally.
No question though.. the Biggie/2PAC feud is >>>>>>>> Drake/Mill feud.
February 18th, 2016 at 9:11 PM ^
Rap is about to join Religion and Politics on the mgoblog no-no list. ALWAYS an argument.
February 18th, 2016 at 9:14 PM ^
That Kanye thread I had the other day was a real banger.
February 18th, 2016 at 9:58 PM ^
something of interest about Coach Wheatley and Michigan Football, and instead wade thru post after post about a long-ago rap feud.
Off my lawn, damn hippity-hoppers!
February 18th, 2016 at 10:06 PM ^
Wait, are you also Cranky Dave?
February 18th, 2016 at 10:46 PM ^
I can't keep from being confused with just one identity. Leave that multiple-account shit for WD/Benn/DISCUSS/MGoRedemption, etc.
February 18th, 2016 at 10:55 PM ^
Nice try rob f. Or should I say, WD?!
February 19th, 2016 at 9:50 AM ^
you forgot to add Jay-Z too
February 18th, 2016 at 9:38 PM ^
First time I heard back 2 back I thought it was incredibly lame, only surpassed by Meek's "Wanna know". Then I listened to it a few more times, looked up the context and meaning, and I like it quite a bit now.
But nowhere near Hit 'em Up in my opinion. Or Fuck wit Dre Day. Or Real Mothaphukkin G's (my favorite). I feel like if Drake had a beef with somebody who didn't suck, it would carry more weight.
February 19th, 2016 at 7:57 AM ^
Back 2 Back is a great track, but just think about either of those guys trying to go head to head with the likes of pac, biggie, cube, nas, etc. Their careers would have been over before they started.
February 18th, 2016 at 10:16 PM ^
Props to all my boss bitches wifin' n****s.
February 19th, 2016 at 7:55 AM ^
Hit em up is by far the greatest diss track ever. I'll also add Jadakiss with Checkmate (50 cent diss) to the discussion. Jada absolutely destroys 50 on it.
"This is a true fact. Since when has it become cool to get shot and not shoot back"".
"Picture 'kiss not come out swingin', it's like going to see 50 at a show and he don't come out singin'."
February 19th, 2016 at 12:52 AM ^
Both of those Drake diss tracks on Meek were weak. There is just nothing from that generation to compare it to. I blame skinny jeans
February 19th, 2016 at 3:18 AM ^
The whole history of california love and 2pac and him going to death row and the feud... man, if you don't know it, you will learn a lot more about a lot of people you already know some stuff about.

you can't like music made before birth. I can't listen to Pink Floyd or The Beatles? Nobody alive can listen to Beethoven? Don't buy it.
February 18th, 2016 at 10:31 PM ^
that they pushed their talent to make public via songs? Regardless of what was said neither were gangsters or thugs. Tupac was in digital underground, ffs lol. Both wrote poetry, etc. Biggie was loyal to the guy paying him and there were rumors that 2pac was raped in prison before being bailed out by Suge under the promise he make music for Death Row. That's when 2pac became a gangster rapper. Forget the 1st shooting as the prior friends had made up behind the scenes soon after. It was real personal between Combs and Knight. Like, "your bodyguard killed my friend" personal. Rap, money and self interest were just the BS public face of it.
February 19th, 2016 at 8:06 AM ^
"First off, Fuck your bitch and the clique you claim".
He just comes out so raw...Killin em.
February 18th, 2016 at 9:24 PM ^
Unfortunately, this was one of his worst songs..
February 19th, 2016 at 1:42 AM ^
never mind 2pac still being alive, how the hell is jeremy gallon in this video?
February 18th, 2016 at 7:56 PM ^
Biggie > Tupac ... both were great, but Biggie had more of a "I had it rough, now life's good" vibe and Tupac was forever mad. They'd probably both be alive if Tupac wasn't so damn angry.
February 18th, 2016 at 8:31 PM ^
Sorry. Biggie didn't make enough to surpass Pac. Both great. And both in my top 5.
