1) Hip Hop is about the soul....The pen has nothing to do with it...You are giving the same excuse that people used against Jazz..."but but classical music is more technical"...Man, just present it as you feel it...I am speaking on Tupac's skill with the pen and the times he has repeated himself. How in the world is my opinion of his skill equivalent to a political view? In fact, Pac advocates some of the WORST activity that we engage in. You'd have to be a crazy person to give your kids all of Tupac's material and tell them to follow him.
So since you tryna call somebody out: what has he done SPECIFICALLY to make him someone who cannot be criticised by black people?
What you need to do is read something by a true scholar and positive black figure.
And yeah. I grew up in the hood. My brother was a stick up kid who did 20 years in the box. My niqqas I grew up with still sell crack 25 years later. These facts have nothing to do with anything but if that kind of shyt turns you on then there ya go.
That's "soul"...James Brown could adlib an entire song and that shyt sounds better than anything ever...That's soul...If you don't feel that...You are more on a "robotic" type of wavelength...I am just saying...
Some people want to "feel and experience" other are more aroused with the technical details relative to a given blueprint/reference point...
2) 2Pac advocated Black Unity...That is one thing he has been consistent with his entire life...But he was a young man expressing his life experience...
I don't necessarily agree with 2Pac, but he asked questions that are still relevant for people today...
3) 2Pac SHOULD BE CRITICIZED by ALL Black people...He should be studied and examined and broken down...He is one of the greatest Black Poets of the past 30 years...
4) Scholars don't have souls, bro...When shyt gets technical, the soul disintegrates...It is like composing a piano piece on Fruity Loops verse playing a real piano...You lose a lot little things that add texture, rhythm and magic...
5) You don't look at art to agree or disagree...You look at it to imagine what was the artist was experiencing when he or she made the piece...
That's something that is UNIQUELY human...
6) Contrary to popular belief, 2Pac probably had the BEST technique in Hip Hop...Eminem could be the only one better...We all know Jay Z is Top 2 because he is financially successful and people love to associate themselves with money...Only Jigganauts "feel" Jay z' music...The rest of us just enjoy it...
