He was just lyrical and deep wit his shit you can actually picture everything he said...back then anything he would say ppl would do if he said being gay was gangsta ppl would be gay lol he was god to em and still is to some...he based his lyrics on tragedy in life and always had to do somethin wit death in almost all his songs and poems so yea he is one of the best cuz he's lyrical and deep wit his shit and he's just lyrically more advance then most ppl in those years back then
