Real talk. How the hell does Tupac not being a lyricist even come up as a debate or even a question?

shyt is apparently a sentiment especially when it comes to these white radio personalities n bloggers n shyt.

if Pac wasn't a lyricist then neither was Krs-One ,Chuck D or LL Cool J

theres still a heavy bias against Pac in general. people act like he literally just said Hennessey and enemies every line.

Even by other rappers. Common just recently pulled that.

Yup. I believe it was last year or the year before.

Pac was a beast when he wanted to

He just understood that some songs dont need the rapper to go all out with the bars. Having a dope rapping style, a dope flow, and a fire beat is more conducive to dope songs than a bunch of bars. Hence Hennessey and Enemies on every other song

that henessey thing is way overblown by Pac haters.

he does say thos two words sometime in AEOM, but he says it fewer in Matw. And in 7dt he does not say Henessy at all.Tho he says enemies twice but thats a given considering the albums militant undertones.

Even by other rappers. Common just recently pulled that.

I mean this is Common. I'm a fan of common, But the man has been said to be very East Coast bias

Pac was lyrical...it's just that he wasn't overly technical with it. He's more straight foward'ish if you compare him to people like Nas, Common, Raskass etc... but he's more technical than KRS, Cube, Scarface etc..What Pac really was though that noone can deny, is that he was poetic.

Pac was capable of being lyrical, but that’s not what he was going for. As said earlier he was straight to the point. Also, during his death row days when he recorded at such a fast rate, his intent was to create as much content as possible.

it's more that he never drenched his songs heavy in lyricism. Like a Rass, Lupe , or Nas

Pac thru his songs uses lyricism via similes, alliteration and mutlti syllables.

"Straight to the point" implies the nikka never uses any form of lyricism which is false.

And that implies not just for Pac but others to

and also if crooked i says he is lyricist then he is a "lyricist " so if u want to go against crooked i who is a well trained ear and a great complex lyricist

then to me imo i can't take u seriously as a lyricist or as a hip hop listener.

Pac had flow, delivery & lyrics. this might be one of my favorites from him just straight rapping.
