:mjlol:That's an AI. I know an AI voice when I hear it. That's not 50 cent.
That was from 50s audiobook "Hustler Harder. Hustle Smarter". I listened to it the other day and came away with a little bit more respect for Curly.

so many terrible takes ... but its the usual when people cry and argue about art

everyone jumps to say 2pac wasnt lyrical, but most of these cats are retarded or illiterate in general
nas is actually the perfect example of this in proving nikkas wrong

you dont think 2pac or Nas (who has proved it) can rap and write in any style they want?

2pacs demo tape with Panther Power is more lyrical than most cats catalogs
I just never understand how cats try to pretend like a dude who was writing poetry as a teenager, thats better than most peoples albums... cant write some simile/metaphor bullshyt

and there's still handfuls and handfuls of info on Pac being a wild ignorant dude from before he was a backup dancer
I always ask people what have they done wild to compare what Tupac, a private school kid studying art did. I love 50 but all he did ever was get shot and thrown down stairs by Wutang. In terms of "street" shyt... 50 was the hoe since he knew when not to say shyt.

nikkas blame pac for being "unaware" but he never was... he told you in his songs he didnt give a fukk and didnt care if he died. In reality, most rappers of all time dont mean what they say and do what they do. I'll never understand people being obsessed with nikkas who sell oz's and all types of low level pointless shyt.

most you can realistically say about 2pac was he was spread way too thin and taken advantage of... and not the smartest dude... preservation wise. But there's really nothing wrong with that when you verbally say "I dont care if I die" Kobe was the same way really. nikka was swimming with Sharks and always pushing the limits for no reason

The way 2pac wrote music from the heart, in the studio in an hour didnt call for super lyrical spirtual miracle bullshyt. I just dont understand how people are dumb enough to think he couldnt do it. Does Nas rap like illmatic and also "Dance" "Store Run" "Thugz Mansion" "Take It In Blood" "Hero" "Rewind" all in similar fashion? People are so used to these trash emcees who rap the same way on every single song for decades. You'd be dumb to think someone with an elite pen wouldnt be able to rap more than 1 way.

Its just alot of shyt ill never understand that comes from peoples mouths. People shyt on lyrics but then dont stick to their agenda with rankings and reality. If hiphop was only dense lyrics, Canibus, Jadakiss, Ras-kass, Most battle rappers, Chino XL, Killah Priest, Big L etc would be in those people's top 10. And alternatively, when people do deviate from the normal flow... all these dudes wouldnt get shyt on like they do for switching the style up. People that say shyt like this contradict themselves and sound like idiots everytime.

I don't see anything wrong with what 50 cent, 2pac wasn't the all time best rapper because of his skills, it's because he connected to people much better, there are a lot of rappers better than 2Pac but rap isn't just about skills

naa 50 wrong on this one… got to disagree with my nikka 50 on that one …. :jbhmm: We alll know pac wasn’t lyrical like big or nas ……pac In my opinion was probably the most charismatic rapper the game has ever had and the amount of passion he had was crazy ….. as far as 50s comments kinda makin out pac was fake with the thug shyt ….looking though all the documentary’s I have watched , stories , friends on pac and his life …. Most agree pac wasn’t a street nikka like that but he deffo wasn’t fake and been in to many situations to make me think he was p*ssy or soft … I would put him somewhere in the middle … not the toughest but deffo not the softest either….. I think what put cats on edge about pac was that he was pretty unpredictable….
