Is 2Pac over rated?

[m-b]

Okay so I seen some members making remarks that say that Tupac was and still is over rated? Purely because he died then everyone was on his ass quicker than gary glitter. But I want to find out if the people at the best west coast forum around think? Is he over rated? If so, why?

If he isn't, why?

[OG Snoopaveli]

no he isn't

he s the truest  nigga ever touched the mic

[BiggBoogaBiff]

threads like these are overrated tho.  Pac is the Malcolm X of Rap, you really don't get any better than him, you can only be different.

[Machiavelli]

Maybe better "rapping" skills but as an overall artist and MC no.

He is a Modern Shakespeare

[bullet_wrongkind]

a clear !NO!

[V2DHeart]

Perhaps as a rapper for his rap ability, but as far as him as a Hip Hop star, not at all. To be the best in a profession, it takes just more than skill alone. A lot of people could have torn 2Pac apart lyrically back in 96, but it was his personality, charisma, and passion which puts him above others

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

Real talk^^

just the fact that some would consider him a literal black jesus is what makes him over rated to some extent.

[OG Hack Wilson]

over rated??? not at all


guy made 5 solo albums while alive and they are all solid + the thug life group album was dope as fuck too


then you add in the some 150-200 non-album tracks that 2pac provided us posthumously with and that further cements his legacy

Hell nah..he is the truest,realest nigga ever...He was a black Jesus of the rap shit..He was sent here to suffer for all the sins of white man and other media bs..I mean struggle that he went throu is unbearable...no man has ever witnessed struggle he survived..I mean he got shot 5 times and was locked up for a year for touching girls bum.That is some Jesus Christ Punishment.

I mean how does that struggle even compare to Father or Mother of some countries picking up her lovely 4 year old daughter all burned or Father or Mother in places like Russia whose children didnt come back from school becoz human traffickers kidnapped them and killed to sell livers,lungs and organs.And mother is left daily waiting and expecting her child to come back and ready to ask what is there to eat and make her bed knowing she will never come back

No man has ever witnessed struggle Pac survived.I mean how does being 1 year in jail being harrased by real gnagster niggaz compare to being sent mistakenly on deathrow for 30 years waiting on the sentence and being told that it was a case of mistaken indentity.

Let 2pac aka Black Jesus aka Realest Nigga that lived to suffer Rest In Peace, he had such a hard life.



Prove me motherfucking wrong you nerds..

[amazing25]

oh and as far as rap goes...He is the most complex and truest rapper ever touching a mic. I mean

Niggaz wilding in the penetentiaryyyyyyyyyyyyyy

This shit is getting hectic

Niggaz using automatic(omg that is so true, i mean in the history of our peacefull Planet Earth, this is the first time ever people were using autimatic weapons and killing each other)

Best Rapper ever! And the fact that he wrote this song at least 2000 times in all them diffferent songs is amazing!, i cannot belive you are calling this rapper overrated.

Diss My God,my Angel, My Black jesus and i will end up on ur doorstep Listening to Changes and holding semi automatic!

Its Blasphemy to speak bad on Tupac Shakur! He suffered enough to be dissed like that! Refer to my first post!

[yeapp]

hell yea he over-rated he aint as whack as Snoop though

[Nega-Sikotic 3.5.]

Hes not over rated, hes great. But his fans are what make him overrated. I mean come on.

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

Yes.

He was still a great rapper though. People get a misconception that being overrated is a negative thing. All it means is that some people make him out to be more than he was. No he wasn't black Jesus, no he wasn't hip hop's savior. He was a great artist who made great music while speaking on some simple truths. And yes, some other rappers could see him on the mic.

and no secret society bullshit wanted him dead. He wasn't no political black leader, he was just an entertainer.
