pac wasn't a great lyricist son....... Great songwriter yeah...lyricist no
Bar for bar he wasn't top ten..... And that's being generous
Well you already said Nas, but also:lmao no there not like who ?
How was that lyrical?
Boolshyt...dont do this
you know damn well the GOAT wasn't lyrical
Pac's delivery was cool, but this topic isn't about that. That bar you put in quotation marks is dope, but it's not lyricalBoolshyt...
"I swim like a fish in the water" (yes, this is the average simile that 99% of the Hip Hop fan base considers "lyrical")
is NOT a better bar than "In my mind I couldn't find a place to rest, Until I got Thuglife tatted on my chest"...
Plus when you add the delivery (which is 50% of Rapping since rapping is about being heard and not read) then NOBODY is coming even close to 2Pac...
If 2Pac had died sooner, Hip Hop would have fallen off sooner too...Dude really kept the game honest...
This whole thread is pointless...Pac's delivery was cool, but this topic isn't about that. That bar you put in quotation marks is dope, but it's not lyrical

That red is obviously earnedBar for bar Jay Z is the best to ever come around here.
Excluding nobody.
