It's a business. Music & every single one of it's genre's has been a business since Bach & Mozart. You make music that other people will like & go out & buy or pay for to see. You think Biggie liked that Juicy beat? Nigga was probably laughing in the studio at Puffy. Then Puff was like "you rap over this, we're making millions". The rest is history. See, even in your "golden age" the music was still looked at from a business perspective.
& above all, you're fucking mentally retarded for flawing your own logic. Notice for your "negatives" all you did was talk about what Wayne & Jay rap about. For your "positives" you said "Oh, he had great taste. He was a smart man". When in reality Pac was rapping about killing people & riding to the death for his homies & shooting anyone who got in his way. If you look at the actual content on the LISTENER (which is what you made the thread about), Jay & Wayne have no negative affect. They make music that is radio friendly & for everyone. You said yourself, women love it. Pac wanted to kill people.
Hit Em Up was socially responsible and didn't have a negative effect on anybody.
Bottom line, you sound dumb. Your entire defense of Pac is that "he didn't rap about having bling. He rapped to inspired other blacks to go get it". Not only can you not prove that to me because that's your insane imagination talking, but FAR more importantly, you're just completely dodging all the songs about "Fuck you, your bitch too, I'ma kill you!".
Pac has always been and will always be bigger than Hip Hop.
