I agree pac is overated, the reason why--->People's guilability...you get a bunch of so called "experts," popular rappers, an other various music moguls an allumni on TV repeatedly saying "Tupac is the greastest!" suddenly you begin to believe he's the greatest.

Its the same as when you hear a song for the first time an your first impression is "damn this shit is wack" then you go to school an all ya friends is going crazy over it, you give it another listen a few more times an then the song does this miracles bullshit thing people say "It grows on you." Bullshit, you just bought into the hype thats all, everyone wants to be included, nobody wants to be the oddball.

SO, what do you get...you get thousands of people who don't even own a Tupac cd, only know him thru singles, or you get a bunch of people who owned his albums for years an jus liked the beats an hooks...cant quote one verse on the cd or cassette proclaiming him rap's god.

In realitiy Tupac was a marketing genious, Pac skill was drawing attention to himself. He was the king of controversy an sensationalism. When at his height roughly 93-til his death...he was on TV everyday for a wide assortment of things. Reaching audiences that would never see his videos on MTV.

Musically pac had strong content(at times) an messages in a very simplistic form. He had one of, if not the greastest deliveries of all time. An a universal appeal an MONSTER - SIZED presence that just made you feel what he was saying. You combine his presence with his content i.e. politics, society, life, an a thug life bad boy image...you got the most selling rap artist of all time.

The reason most people liked Tupac was because they could relate to him. No matter where you come from, he rapped about something you could go 'Ya, I know what he's saying'. He said how he felt, and he didn't worry about beiong politically correct. His appeal was the truth he spoke.

I hate how pac gets penalyzed for his support. This always happens to people when alot of people like them. Someone could come out and one person could love their shit, but then as soon as some idiots like them too all of a sudden their wack. Tupac is fuckin ill. If you don't know why that's your problem. And by "your" i mean this imaginary guy who I hate.

i just honestly dont think anyone is better...

lmfao @ biggie being better

hell no...crazy as a crack baby
