Is 2 Pac becoming forgotten in rap?

[Lord Beasley]

pac will never be forgotten. fiytb

2pac? forgotten?

That 1986 to1992 NYC era feels more than forgotten like it was a whole different reality

 

[spliz]

this is an interesting point about Big having more advocates than Pac. My counterpoint would be that Pac still has people like Snoop and Dre riding for him, I mean shyt it was only a few years ago they brought out the 2Pac hologram and the whole world was buzzing off that shyt.

Also, the fact that Pac has less people talking about him as much almost puts him more in a rarified air, it’s like that 48 Laws of Power shyt where Absence increases power. Nowadays when a story about Pac is told people are tuned in always

Snoop doesn’t like Pac. He lies on Pac name all the time. And Dre wasn’t too close to Pac either and they had beef at a point.

I see a lot of these young kids wearing 2Pac shirts and most of these new rappers are either sampling his music or comparing themselves to him.

2Pac is one of the few 90’s rappers that will always be idolized.

 

[Da Bull Ace]

forgotten?

nikkas was comparin' him to Da Baby a few weeks ago.....

That was fat joe aka another old nikka

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Pac the only 90s rapper these kids like

exactly.

these cats literally want to be him

 

[Lannister]

hes got hits, no doubt

one of the GOATs? nah. a good 60% of his music is

He's a GOAT in rap regardless of how anyone feels about his work on a personal level. It's like how The Beatles are considered the GOAT rock band of all time even by people who don't care for their music. Pac's influence, impact, legacy on the genre can't be denied. He was still pretty much the face of rap before the likes of Jay and Kanye blew up.

They really dropped the ball with the Tupac biopic.

Nah, the film maker is a piece of shyt for that movie was just what he was going for.

actually that’s part of my beef. His music has AGED HORRIBLY. Not to mention those terrible outlaw collabs

he is remembered more for his “impact”, influence, and legacy than the actual music.
The Beatles hold up to this day. 2pac? Very few and far between.

and I lived through his era so this isn’t a “you weren’t there” issue

 

[Jesus Bhrist]

There’s a whole Youtube Channel that uploads daily Content on 2pac

Half of VladTV interviews is about Pac or him asking nikkas about Pac


Reggie Wright’s and Big James resurgence is because of Pac


Young nikkas don’t listen to Pac?

Polo G, NLE Choppa, NoCap, all just sampled Pac (All 3 under 24)

NBA young gets constantly compared to Pac


Nas just dropped a song about Pac

Lil Durk wife currently has Pac pictures on her Instagram lol same with Iggy Azalea who is obsessed with Pac


Boopac, Nupac, nikkas stay calling themselves Pac, even fakkit ass Jessie Smollet called himself Tupac recently Lmfaoo


Nobody mentions Biggie is more accurate than nobody mentioning Pac

 

[Youngblood Priest]

Man Pac is literally these nikkaz dad. What he started, they're still doing. There were not too many "thugs" until he put the label out there. He set the blue print for what we are going thru today.

Been a minute since I heard this
