how could anyone not say 2pac is the best MC ever?

[Don Jacob]

alright last night when i was talking to the homie Tanjint he asked me a question about 2pacolypse now....i told him i forgot and i'd have to put in the cd to answer his question well i did and i totally forgot how fucking tight 2pac's music was, i use to be THE BIGGEST (y'all don't even know how much i loved 2pac back in the day, i cried like a blubbering baby when he died, i was 12 at the time ok) well after 2pac died the whole quality of  music seemed to deteriorate and rap music just didn't appeal to me anymore i mean snoop wasn't put out anything great, same with dre, nas flopped jay-z and a Biggie started going Pop, puffy basically ruled the world Master P was on the Come up ( i never minded him but the people he brought with him) just basically the whole stratisphear of rap music was whack as hell to me, i got into hard rock music in 97 and listened to stricktly rock music until i heard Dr. Dre and Kurupt were coming out with new albums in november, then i was all like shit i don't know how much i wanna waste my money i mean kurupts last album was trash and i don't wanna spend my money on dre's album if going to only have 4 good songs like his aftermath compilation, then i heard that Snoop was going to be on there and i was excited well to make a long story short i bought Chronic 2k and had faith in rap again cept i was just strickly into dre and snoop's branch, i had totally forgot about 2pac.....i bought all his posthemous albums (which i wasn't pleased with, but last night i started to listen to all his stuff when he was still alive and maaaaaaan i am just amazed again, i mean i've heard the best from the Rakim's to the Kool G Raps and all i gotta say is Tupac Amaru Shakur is with out a doubt the Best Hands down, it ain't a East/West Thang but a Good/Better music thang....pleezbaleevit

[Sub_Z_Row]

yup i agree with you,2pac is the best hands down

[NobodyButMe]

i agree too....pac just made you feel everything he said. motherfuckers are always saying

"how could 2pac make a song like "keep ya head up" and then make a song like "wonder why they call you bitch"? he just contradicts himself all the time"

what i gotta say to that is, first off, those songs are about two totally different things, and 2nd, 2pac showed the realness in himself by expressing contradictions. he spit about how he was feeling at the time he wrote and he kept things real. all these motherfucker rap about the same shit nowadays, trying to keep up a personna, when in reality, they're just the same as us all, having contradictory thoughts all the time.
anyways, 2pac will always be the greatest in my mind.

[Mr_Loc]

yup i agree

Pac wasnt 2-faced or hypocritical in my eyes, he just had a multi-faceted personality (Gemini) where he could feel different emotions and speak on any of them. he catered to a lot of people is basically what im saying.

granted he probably wasnt the best lyricist, but he was the greatest rapper imo, just cuz of the way he made you feel every word like JT said.

and i agree those new albums suck, his old shit and the bootlegs are untouchable tho

RIP

[Jay ay Beee]

Any MC I got to strain to take in every word and meaning is special - I love searching for meaning and he was the best at it.
But I like Snoop better cuz he can be laid back and hard at the same time
When "Pac came hard he went mental

Don't quote without credit JT

[bodyrott]

I agree he is the best when it comes to just raw emotion in his flow. But he just aint the best at wordplay as Rakim is.

[NobodyButMe]

Don't quote without credit JT

huh?

[Top-Dogg2001]

I don't think pac is the greatest but it was good, and was one of the releast rapper out there.

[TL]

Couldn't agree more with what JT said.

[Sikotic™]

Yeah his albums were deep until Amaru and Death Row ruined them in the new albums. He was one of the greatist of all times, thats why most artists of today either were influenced by him or respect him. Its a damn shame some talented people gotta die.

[TheSheriff]

When 'Pac died, I was just getting into BUYING rap...I remember owning Don Makaveli and All Eyez On Me at the time, and I loved 'em-I was a bit of a DRR dickrider, as I also had Doggystyle, Dogg Food(I think I had it before he died, I'll check) and the Chronic.

When he died, I was like,"Crap, man, this is bad..."

I love 'Pac, I'll admit, but I don't think he's the most skilled rapper-Though, I'll say this, he's one of the top three or so for subject matter. Braille, Cube, Em are others round there. But he was near the top in nearly everything, especially that.

If anything, his flow occasionally let him down-If only because it was so good. He simply left his lyrics behind, and if you were listening to the lyrics, you would never quite feel completely one with his music.

Oh well...RIP Pac, we miss ya...

One day, Faith Evans and Tim Dog are gonna get hurt...

[Cliftone_Santiago_909]

Hold up.... what did Faith Evans and Tim Dogg do??

Whoa!
Did you just threaten them??

[-1]

did tim dogg diss 2pac in that track he did with mello??? pac never replied

[Sikotic™]

I understand Tim Dogg but why Faith Evans? She didn't diss Pac she was only married to Biggie. Or did she diss him?

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

weren't 2pac and her fucking at one point?
