So if you don't dry snitch about murders and coke tales in your songs, your quality as a rapper is in question?

Pac’s voice and “passion” was so unmatched that it overshadowed his actual skills.

2Pac is better than 50 and Eminem. Pac is dead, so he basically lived the so called ''life'' that most rappers chase.
at the inevitable, Ja Rule diss 
LOL the unnecessary Ja diss
I think he did “spit hard” as Eminem tho if spitting hard is what I think it means…like that fiery passion tear you apart energy…Pac probably had that more than Eminem. If he woulda just said “He wasn’t a lyricist like Eminem” then I’d get it. I agree with the other three comparisons tho
Pause all that spit hard talk if necessary

Pac was more of a charismatic poet than a technical emcee. I think that's where 50 was going at and I agree. Pac, Scarface, Cube, KRS One, and Prodigy were all rappers who didn't necessarily hit you with a lot of punchlines, double entendres, advanced vocabulary, assonance, etc. but they had a strong mic presence, poetic words, good flow, and emotion that made you feel their words more than a lot of more skilled rappers.
I don't think Pac is as "fake" as people make him out to be though. Regardless of his initial background, Pac actually wounded up living the life he rapped about and the majority of Pac songs didn't even play up to his "thug life" persona. He was one of the more introspective rappers of the 90's who was often very vulnerable and spoke on real life issues.
In a nutshell, Snoop Dogg and Biggie fit what 50 is saying as much as Pac. They all played up the gangster persona and got caught up in some real shyt for authenticity despite not growing up raised like that.

50 is also a better….
The only song that I ever felt Eminem spit hard with passion was The way I am…probably the only em song I go back and listen to every now and then
