About: My only fear of Death

In case the point of this video flies over the heads of those who veiw it, I thought I'd share the reason why I put this song and mgs together. One of the most memerable lines in the MGS series is when Big Boss says that though the loser may die in the battlefield he is free from it. Where as the one who survives must face battle till the end of his days. I noticed in mgs that death is pretty much the salvation of everyone who's been involved in the story. Snake being the main one also realizes this I guess and from what we've picked up from the most memorable trailer where he put's the gun in his mouth.

The song written by Tupac Shakur was written based on how he felt at the time as he describes his battles, and looks at death as his own salvation, and wishing to never come back. Thus reincarnation being his only fear of death. Solid, Liquid and Solidus in away, reflect Big Boss's reincarnation, and each suffered as their father did. This stands out when the lyrics,"Never will I die I'll be back" is heard and you watch Big Boss walking to The Boss's grave with scenes of his sons popping inbetween. Grey fox who was glad to have died in battle and free from it was reincarnated against his wishes and suffers even more than he had in his normal life because he was no longer alive or dead. He wanted his death back. Raiden shares that same fate right now.

Scenes of Eva were thrown in there cause of the possiblity of her being the one who birthed Snake and Liquid. The cobra unit was placed in because their names described the exact emotions that every one felt. The Joy (The Boss) comes after The End laying dead cause her name relects the feeling after death. Liquid is famous for his return of course. Vamp is the omen of the video being a mystery when it comes to why he just wont die. Other than that, the rest of action is their for pure entertainment.

Straight of CHI-town, this trio brought some of that mid west pimpin into the game of hip hop back in the 96. Classics like Smoke and Ride, Po Pimpin, Who am I, Kill or be Killed are just a few of the good joints they had. A great group too listen to.

Artist Review

Redman Hip-Hop
"Stylish"
One of my favorite artists. To me, he's underated and deserves just as much credit for making hip hop as great as it was. With songs like I be that, Letts get dirty, and his Blackout album with Method man, his rhymes are silly, crazy, but poetic. He was also on Tupac's album All eyes on me on the track I got my mine made up.

Album Review

R U Still Down? (Remember Me) 2Pac
"Masterpiece"
This is one of my favorite albums, yet it's very underated by alot of people. It's obvious that it was recorded while Thuglife was being made. I like the mood that this album gives off when you listen to tracks like I wonder if heaven got a ghetto,When I get free,Thug Style, and My definition of a thug nigga. I think people were still disapointed by this album because they got used to 2pac's Makaveli period.
What they fail to understand is that he had a different mind set then in 94. This is before the whole Deathrow and Badboy drama. And the production (though good) was of lower standard compared to All eyes on me. I believe that this was also pac's true 1st doulble album. It was just interupted do to his rape trial, cop shootings, and getting shot. But this album is worth owning.

Still I Rise 2Pac
"Underappreciated"
This album is a very good album. Songs like Hell for a hustler, Highspeeds, Still I rise, and As the world turns are some of my favorites. This album though seem to be easily overlooked for a 2pac album though, which is weird. But it's an album worth owning if you're a pac fan.
