I got glad bags with enemies, cut up so they remember me, Soak 'em in Hennessy, so they relatives know it's me. You can bet your last dollar, I'll dick 'em and holla, Ridin' these hoochies like they some heavy ass Chevy impalas.

"I love money too, but not like my mama / I love p*ssy too, but not like my honor" is an all-time lyric. Outlawz secretly had some bangers, but most listeners pretty much left them to the dust bin of hip-hop history not long after 2Pac's death. That verse is by Kastro, who probably had the best delivery out of any of the members; his pacing is slower, but he had a complementary knack for getting a lot of mileage out of less verbiage.
I have also always really loved Hussein Fatal's bars on "Emancipation" from Young Noble's debut solo album, "Son of God"; since I know virtually no one has heard it (9,810 plays on Spotify), I'll drop it here.
I don't think Fatal was above average at any point in his output, except probably right here ("Knowin' how to get a hustle, ever since knee high / Three sixty five, round my hood like a bee hive / Money motivated, yeah, I'm all about my B.I"). I remember being surprised at how tight this was, and the stuttered beat drop starting at around 1:52 sets it up perfectly.
He starts his verse with an acknowledgement of Yaki Kadafi, a slain member of the group who died sixteen years earlier, and mentions "meet[ing] again" soon, which is eerie as this song was one of Fatal's last Outlawz-related contributions, as he died in a car accident 2 1/2 years later. It is also in keeping with the legacy the group inherited from 2Pac, who is fairly famous for, among many other things, ruminating on and predicting his own early demise; Pac, of course, is also referenced in the same verse, "This the year of the under dog, you nigg*s better man up / I don't even kneel at Pac grave, I stand up" ...
It is, overall, appropriately morbid, and I think doubly so since this was probably Fatal's technical peak. Some of his last recorded material was released posthumously on 2016's Livin Legends, on the track "So Much Pain", a remake of 2Pac's excellent "Pain" from the "Above the Rim" soundtrack. According to XXL Magazine, the track was actually Fatal's idea. Again, eerie!
I'm going to finish off this ramble by dropping what, I think, is probably the group's best output, which is the track "Feel Good to Ya" (4,418 plays on Spotify) off of Killuminati 2K10. While a lot of the Outlawz' work is flavored with the dark inertia of Pac's death (and it bears mentioning that Kastro left the group partly because he felt they were cleaving too closely to their association), this track shows off their range. It's just a good jam, good enough to make usually stoic listeners move their bodies in ways that are weird and foreign to them, which is ... the definition of a good jam?! 😂
The Outlawz got a decent amount of hate. Perhaps because they were left with a torch that was impossible for them to carry, a large number of listeners simply dismissed them, especially when early material was not promising; however, that also means that a lot of good output over the years has been ignored (look at those paltry play counts!) ...
Anyway, I am up for no good reason at 3AM thinking about 2Pac and all this old sh*t. That'll about do it for now. Goodnight! 😴
