nahhh ^.. its not fair, cause pac came first, pioneered his style, and em got a chance to sample that and learn from that. so you cant compare the two.

well i dont' know Ca'lam.....because when eminem first came out big on the scene with his "Slim Shady LP"...his style was pretty different from pacs....

Tupac has talent well had talent...I wouldn't say lyrical wise he was the nicest rapper to ever touch the mic but in rap he was one of the biggest icon to ever touch the mic and was one of the few rappers to actualy stay real to themselves unlike soo many rappers now.

no doubt. but he still was inflenced by pac you know / pacs story telling.. pacs emotion.. pacs hardness.. all of which you see in eminem.. of cource their flows are different. but pac never had anyone to, for a lack of a better word, "borrow" anything from.

em said it himself. he borrowed shit from biggy nas jay pac and all the greats. the greats never had no one to borrow shit from for real.. they were the pioneers. todays rappers SHOULD be better. they should further the art ya know ?

speakin of royce...im hungry for a new album....independent's day was ill....now...i want a new one

^^calm down calm down....he is coming with a new one.....i was on his myspace and he said hes comign with a new one..

seriously?

a Tupac thread.

i personally couldnt stand independents day i only liked a couple tracks, he needs to come out with another death is certain that album is classic

damn i thought independence day was beast...i still listen to that shit all the time...


but uhh yea..

i agree with nos

skill wise, Biggie was a bettre rapper. Anyone who isn't a Biggie hater has to admit that rap skill wise, TECHNICALLY, Biggie was a superior rapper to Pac. Now, as far as message and influence, we could argue that.

Tupac was good. But truth is, nobodies ever even heard of the dopest person to touch the mic. And that is basically word.

I'm the hottest person to touch a mic. Seriously it's like 105 degrees in my house.

In my opinion, Pac got 70% of his fans because he's dead and he got real popular when he died. It was like they promoted the dudes death, to get him more fans.

"Step Yo Game Up"

Get a air conditioner.

I would but my neighbors are thieves and would try to steal my electricity and/or AC machine. I got an oriental fan though. With diamonds and shit.

P.S. Ours is broken. Repair man hasn't come.
