Eminems lyrics are not top notch... but, he does possess an uncanny ability to write seemingly perfect flows pieced together by beautiful transitions. but the well runs dry there..
everyone got caught up in the commercial marketability of Tupacs 'thug' image. regardless of what people say, i can name 10 rappers off the top of my head that possess more skill than Tupac. he wasnt revolutionary, NWA brought forth the whole 'gangsta' rap ordeal...he merely hopped on the bandwagon. seriously, youve got to ask yourself, if Tupac wasnt dead would 1. he be regarded anymore near the best of all time?, and 2. if you take away the whole 'thug' image, would anyone had even given a shit about him? the answer to that is a resounding 'No'. with the exception of a few tracks, most of his songs were derived of meanings and were either aimed at boosting his 'thug' appeal, or simply aimed at getting play on the radio. Tupac is without a doubt the most overrated rapper of all time.
