But around this time frame Napster came out making Nas's I am one of the first cd's to be exploited by the brand new mp3 format. Think Im lyin, google what Im talkin bout.

I don't like All Eyez On Me.  The more famous Tupac got the more his material became diluted.

What do you mean by diluted in this case?  As in lacking a message or watered down somehow?  I disagree...I mean Makaveli came out at his absolute peak of fame and there was nothing remotely diluted about that album.  But maybe I'm not catchin what you're gettin at...

10 million thug songs, no "Dear Mama" or "Brenda's Got A Baby" kinda tracks with a deeper meaning.
