The Flowpad: 5th Edition

 

“ That's why they ride the bandwagon

  Still be draggin', selling' lies

  Don't think I don't see you haters, 

  I know y'all in disguise”

          - Rappin’ 4-Tay

🎧Track of the week:

2pac & Rappin’ 4-Tay - Only God Can Judge Me

 

🔦Artist spotlight:

Anthony H. Forte, born on March 2nd 1968, is an american rapper hailing from San Fransico, California. Going by the stage name of Rappin’ 4-Tay, he’s widely regarded as a Bay area legend. Having recently battled myeloma, we’re grateful and relieved to see him on the path to recovery.

🗒️Creator’s note:

I’ve always admired the contrast between 2pac’s hard hitting lyrics and Forte’s smooth flow on this track. This classic resonates with many fans all across the world and
its darker theme could’ve fit nicely on the “ Me Against The World ” album. Tupac’s introspective message, Forte’s slick delivery and the signature G-Funk sound are some of the many reasons why “ Only God Can Judge Me ” remains on my main playlist to this day.
