Tupac's Technical Skills As A Rapper

[jerzboy]

People forget he was 25 too

 

[Southeast Jerome]

2pac's key word - adversary

I came here to say this.

 

[Goatpoacher]

He was the most poetic rapper I can think of, a brilliant artist, and able to convey his message forcefully.

And he probably has more songs I replay constantly than any other rapper.

 

[PhonZhi]

Dude wasn't a very good rapper

 

[PhonZhi]

you can tell that Pac was a great friend to have

 

[YeLovesBoston]

People act like Pac aint had multisyllable rhyme schemes. He was a poet and speaker first though. Im tryna hear empowering and moving shyt when I listen to Pac. Aint nobody tryna hear rappity raps when they pop Me Against the World

 

[newworldafro]

Yeah he wasn't a wordplay or big words rapper, it was more his cadence and delivery with decent messages.

That's the beauty of rap/hip hop....there are so many styles to choose from.......still happy I got experience the richness of it in the 90s......the content was diverse, styles were all over the map........a Nas or an Andre 3000 or a Snoop or even Master P mediocre shyt or a Black Thought even a Bone Thugs, etc....if they were all great at everything it would really be a wack genre

Young kids these days be like

He aint no fetty wap

 

[CarltonJunior]

People sleep on 2Pacalypse.

Violent is a top 10 pac song

 

[PhonZhi]

 

[Juggalo Fred]

pac is the GOAT

 

[Ronnie Lott]

2:35 that flow





We both had dreams of being great
but his deferred
and blurred
and changed its shape


its fake
it wasn't my choice to make
to be great
im given it all it takes
tryna shake
the crates, and fakes and snakes
i gotta take
my place or fall from grace
before its late
the pace is quick & great
smilin face
to hide the trace of hate

Still Praising violent music huh?

Still Praising violent music huh?

Out of all the pac songs to label as "violent" you choose this one

You wanna hear an update on Pac's technical skills? Listen to Freddie Gibbs....not especially tricky or flashy but just constant pace, walking the beat down like a fukkin boxer. Most importantly he is a song writer which is really the crux of lyricism...he's one of the most prolific.

And unlike most artists he was actually ramping up on that aspect of his artistry. There is a clear separation between how Pac was coming lyrically one 7DT...one of the artists with one of the best discographies already at that point was getting BETTER.
