This is a typical thread and all, that is mostly played out enough as it is. But you truly can't say Pac isn't one of the top 3 ever to touch a microphone. The guy may have came with simplistic lyrics and speech but what he spoke was true in his world and most. He didnt rap about being a gangster and then wore guppy clothes and lived outside the hood. 2Pac rhymed about gangster shit because he was one and showed he was one. He was the real deal. We got all these lil niggas rappin now a days named eminem and nas and 50 cent. Fuck all of them. They are all 'wankstas'. Think about it. 50 and eminem and nas all think theyre hard, but most of them sleep in fear because they fear death itself. Pac looked at death and pissed death off even more. He was not afraid to speak his mind lyrically or publicly. While all these other junk rappers are going down hill. I mean even Snoop is a narc. The Rap world is going down hill and Dre is trying to do everything to save it by bringing up lame ass lyricist like 50. Eminem is a joke and was a gimmick from the start to draw a white crowd. The game is almost over with. It is dieing out no matter how many of us feel it isnt. 2Pac was real and he made RAP what it is today a long with NWA and Christopher Wallace. Biggie cant be held higher than Pac though, Pac taught Biggie mostly how to rap than anything. They was close but Puffy aint got shit on neither of em. NWA Pac and BIG. Greatest rappers of all time. It isnt fact, its statistical facts. Album Sales. Anual Grossings. Money wise for all you idiots who dont understand the business ethics of the world. This thread is over and done with though. So close it.
