Tupac fans overrate everything the nikka does. SMH at 7 Day Theory being the GOAT album. Tupac was a hypocrite, and was biting styles off nikkas like Ice Cube and Chuck D while also trying to be gangsta even though he wasn't even about that life growing up. This nikka stayed with the same recycled material talking about "crack sales and black males" and "hennesey and enemies". LMAO at someone thinking Thug Life is better than Illmatic. Tupac was a good rapper but his legacy was enhanced because of his death, and how charismatic he was, getting shot up and raping women definitely helped too.
Ready to Die is better than anything Pac put out. Life After Death>All Eyez on Me. Nas is my GOAT he has the most longevity, two classic albums Illmatic and It Was Written, and other solid albums like Life is Good, Stillmatic and the Lost Tapes. Nas is also just a better MC than Pac.
nikkaz act like Pac was raised on some Fresh Prince OF Bel Air/Carlton shyt.
The nikka grew up with all the elements that leads to becoming a gangsta.
Poverty? Check
Crack head mom? Check
No pops? check
Living in rough spots? check
The only thing that kept that nikka alive is the fact that his mother, despite being a crack head, was/is a brilliant woman.She watered that nikkaz brain with a lot of knowledge and game.A lot of nikkaz in Pac's situation don't get that.
Even then, he still had to experience the same hardships as the rest of the nikkaz.He just had a stronger mind.That's why he's celebrated.
And about the Ice Cube/ Chuck D shyt.....Pac was that.He was born into that shyt.The same people that Chuck D and Ice Cube may have studied to spike up their "revolutionary game"... Pac sat up at the dinner table with them same people... in the flesh.Soaking up game first hand.He wasn't on some Valley Boy turned NWA gangsta shyt like Cube.That's the problem, nikkaz don't really know the REAL history of the nikkaz they're listening to.Pac was born into all that shyt.He probably knew the in's and out's of that shyt at such a intimate level, it would probably make Chuck D, Cube, or any other "I read a few books now Im a social theorist/revolutionary" type nikka go


.
Even his mom would absolutely shyt on them nikkaz.That's what I'm saying.nikkaz be acting like Pac grew up with a silver spoon...It's the Chuck D's and Ice Cube's that grew up on that middle class, picket fence shyt who later hopped on that revolutionary bandwagon.It's not laced in their DNA like it was with Pac
How can you say a nikka that grew up around revolutionaries and lived a life that leads to becoming a "gangsta" ain't a revolutionary gangsta?
And I don't even like that word "gangsta"...I wouldn't classify Pac as that.He was just a strong minded, intelligent dude who wasn't afraid to fight back
