You can't even consider what is out today "talent"...Anyone could get in a studio and rap about their cars, hoes and jewels (well, according to most people on this TEXT-battle site, ha!?)...But nah, you're right, it's a TOTAL different game than it used to be...You have so many different categories of "rap" now days, that you can't compare them...You could however compare the REAL gangsta rappers of old to the new "wanna-be gangsta, but I won't walk thru the ghetto" rappers of today...!? You could compare the old flashy mo'fuckas to the new flashy mo'fuckas...!? I don't know, it's just retarded for someone to deny that Tupac was at one time the GREATEST and will always be the greatest in the genre of Gangsta Rap...!? Opinions are like assholes though I guess, EVERYONE has one and the ALL stink...!? So wtf ever, haha!? Have a good one ya'll, holla back!
