No artist, no matter how talented, can have the title of "greatest" without dispute. If you're a die-hard Tupac West Coast fan then yes, three hundred songs that mostly address the same subject matter as "All Eyez On Me" will have you amped for a long time. I can't say I was never that big of a fucking fan. There was a long stretch of my young adult life where I lived and breathed that music but hip-hop doesn't start and end with Tupac, no matter what the majority opinion is amongst 90's West Coast fans. The reality is with adult eyes, there's no arguing his talent, passion, or work ethic but you remove personal attachment to the music he created and it's the same circular argument every generation has had. The same way we hate all these rappers who supposedly took from Pac because we see them as nothing more than a bastardized rip-off, that's how a lot of the fans of artists who influenced Pac felt during that whole gangsta rap era and while I respect the depth of the man's lyrics, he's far from the musical pioneer a lot of his fans seem to give him credit for. But the same can be said of any truly popular artist. The guy was passionate so in his wake, he has a very passionate fanbase and I don't have a problem with that. That 1995-96 era brought a lot of excitement and controversy to music but I'd say it was actually more remebered for the controversy behind the music than any level of innovation in the content. I'd liken Pac's arrival at Death Row to a major free agent signing on with an established championship team.
