I love how people forget how 'Pac was a Bay rapper. Without Eazy, Dre, Cube, Death Row, Suge, Snoop, and a lot of other L.A. rappers wouldn't exist. Without Eazy, 'Pac would still be. Again, 'Pac was of Digital Underground. Without Shock G, there is no 2Pac. Digital Underground was ground breaking, Shock G's alter ego Humpty Hump was a huge money maker, and had no N.W.A. influnce. 2Pac was more political when released, so not realy into that gangsta shit, and he used a more N.Y. influnce. Hell he wanted to be M.C. New York. Lots of N.Y. influince, Bay influince, listen to Strickly For My Niggaz, and we know the Bay influince L.A. more than L.A. to the Bay. The Thug shit as more Kool G Rap, Ice T (which came out in '86, before N.W.A.) and a little Ice Cube than Eazy E.As for sound. 'Pac's flow was that down from the heart low. Every word meant something. Eazy was a gimmick, 'cause Dre knew it would work. Eazy's voice was funny, his flow was off actually. His shit was meant to be funny.Eazy over 'Pac. I can see Biggie, KRS-One, Ice Cube, Rakim, Bone Thugs, Snoop maybe, Dr. Dre 'causehi a producer not a rapper, but Eazy E. I love him, but over 'Pac? Still leaves me confused. I think most are just people looking for a person to put over 2Pac, try Ice Cube, then I can almost agree.
sgv- yeah well in case you don't know, it wasn't eazy that rounded up NWA. dre and cube got together, and they went to eazy to get the funds. eazy didn't go lookin for them to start the group. everyone involved was tryin to get eazy to rap, and in the beginning he didn't want to, but they finally convinced him. and you think pac inspired more studio gangsters than eazy did? what the fuck are you smokin? 90% of rappers are studio gangsters. you're sayin they're he because of pac? i'd say eazy is more the cause of that than pac. thats cool that you prefer too short. i understand-i own everything since shorty the pimp except whats my favorite word. but in no way shape or form does too short compare to tupac. at least as far as music. as far as opening doors, well hell yeah he does. but based on that, is rappers delight your favorite hip-hop song of all time? because that opened the doors for everybody in hip-hop. he said which was BETTER. i would interpret this as who is a better MC. shit maybe he meant who was better at opening doors. who the fuck knows. he dude whoever started this topic, why don't you clarify?
Eazy...if it wasnt for Eazy there would be no pac...there would be no dre...there would be no cube...there would be no west coast...
^^^yea let the guy speak on it...but anyway...rappers delight is one of my favorite jams of all time...its classic...cant say its not...but um...look at the majority of the studio gz on the mic now a days...how many of them shout out pac?...and how many shout out eazy?...the most of them credit pac as their influence...not eazy...oh and by puttin up the money for nwa eazy basically rounded em up...whether he founded the group is an other story...if it wasnt for his money and his charisma NWA wouldve never made it...
there would be cube and there would be dre...dre, maybe, woulndt do the sound he's doin right now..but he would be out there fa shojust like cube !!!you cant hold em back !GToh, ima go wit eazy, over pac fa sho !!!
To Hoe Hopper.'Pac didn't influince rap? Have you ever heard DMX, Ja Rule, Tha Realest, or any other corny sounding sound-a-likes. As for improving the game. Before 'Pac, if any one did a Keep Your Head Up, a Dear Mama, a Brenda Got A Baby, then they would be dissed, and lose their street rep that was so important back then. Eazy's influince was not musical. Ice Cube cam up with the political shit, Dre and Yella worked on the sound, more Dre than Yella. Who else would sample Funky Worm, Dre. Eazy was a founder because of his business influince. Eazy started his own damn record label, housed a west coast all star group, got female rappers, and keep all that shit gangsta. Ruthless was the blueprint to Death Row. We now how that turned out. 'Pac came out and rapped on home issues, and got deep, a depth no one can reach, but they try. 'Pac upped the game to a point were no one can up it. Eazy made business out of the game. 'Pac made great music, Eazy made money. His music was made by other, for him. He just was the right person to do it, because of his voice.
