I only wish more people who have misguided opinions on 2Pac would go back and listen and experience the same enlightenment with which you have been blessed to experience. I always hated the "Pac vs Biggie" comparison. It's incomparable, to try to parallel the two. One was mostly gimmicky and good at it (Big) and it served it's purpose, the other (Pac) was mostly political, revolutionary, and socially aware. It is why his lyrics resonate true today in everyday life all around us. The Pac lyric that has been reigning true lately, that you can step outside your doorstep and see and feel, is when he said "and though it seems heaven sent, we aint ready, to see a Black president"..and we weren't, and we certainly weren't this time around neither, as nothing has improved for the Black community by having a Black president these past two terms. The community was and is still too shattered and individualistic to have taken any imaginable measure of advantage of something so "heaven sent", as Pac said, as having a Black president. And that is just one of MANY Pac lyrics that were so prophetic that they can literally be applied today, right now, to everyday life and specifically Black life in America. Biggie didn't really touch on those types of issues. He was more just a lyrical storyteller. And that was OK, nothing wrong with it, as it has it's own demographic and did indeed serve hip hop well! But Pac was a reality socially aware prophet of sorts, as is evident by the truth of his words, on top of being a lyricist. It is not logical to compare the two. It's like comparing Dead Prez and Cash Money.
Not much of what you'll be listening to in the albums but this song...
