Kanye's lyrics are more interesting and powerful to me than Tupac's are. I think that stems from Kanye having a more interesting personality.
I see, that sounds like a preference thing. Which is cool. But I don't think there constructed anywhere near the level of Pac's, Pac was a great lyricist. Personally I feel Pac has a much more interesting personality too but like I said all opinions. But Pac to me was an exceptional lyricist, I feel Kanye is good too but sometimes he gets carried by his superb production, which I credit him for with the beats he made cause he is a dope producer. I don't think he stands for anything even near what Pac did though, that's something that's more factual than opinion, if you break down the issues they cover, Pac would embarrass Kanye in that aspect.

Growing up as an inner city brotha
where every other had a pops and a motha
I was tha product of a heated lover
Nobody knew how deep it screwed me
and since my pops never knew me
my family didn't know what ta do with me
was I somebody they despise
curious look in they eyes
as if they wonder if i'm dead or alive
poor momma can't control me
quit tryin' ta save my soul, I wanna roll with my homies
a ticken timebomb
can't nobody fade me
packin' a 380
and fiendin' for my mercedes
suckers scatter
but it don't matter i'm a cool shot
punks drop from all tha buckshots tha fools got
i'm tired of being a nice guy
i've been poor all my life, but don't know quite why
so they label me a lunatic
could care less
death or success
is what I quest
cause i'm fearless
now tha streetz R Deathrow

I feel that if albums like Thug Life, S4MN, 2Pacalype Now are classics than God's Son, Life is Good, Hip Hop is Dead is a classic. American Gangster and Black Album are also classics feel me? It takes more than being a good album to be a classic.
You really don't have College Dropout as a classic? It has the critical acclaim, classic tracks like Jesus Walks and Last Call, great features (Common, Mos Def, Twista, Ludacris, Talib Kweli, Jay-Z), takes on political themes, personal problems, religion, materialism, etc., very soulful album, I enjoyed Kanye's MCing (never forget the punchline "mayonnaise colored Benz, I push miracle whips" shyt had me
pushing rewind). This album is credited with beginning the destruction of the gangsta persona in hip hop and guys like J.Cole claim it as an influence.

I don't know. 1st off I don't think Kanye gets carried by production. Like on Power, there are very few rappers that can ride that beat without being overshadowed. It takes a really powerful presence to propel yourself over that beat instead of letting it drown you out. That's one example. 2nd, I think Kanye's biggest message is staying true to yourself and not letting people get in the way of your goals, which is as universal a message as it gets. I'm not saying it's better than Pac's messages (which are/were obviously powerful, I'm not taking anything away from Pac), but it's on the same level.
I would post Pac lyrics but they are all wrong on the internet, might post a few anyway but people don't post them properly.
