But the production matched the songs. So Premo is going to make Hail Mary better? How? RZA is going to make "Hold Ya Head" better? How? Hell, the "Toss It Up" beat on the album sounds better than the track over "No Diggity". "Me and My Girlfriend" aint a classic track that Ye ruined?
Kendrick 26......I thought breh was a young nikka like 22 or 23. Homie only a year younger than me
Alright I get what youre saying. but if Tupac's message/delivery is such that he can only go over that basic ass Johnny J shyt, I dont think he can be considered the pinacle of hip hop.
Compare how safe this nikka Lil Sean is to the GOAT.I know everyone knows this, but it really sunk into me earlier when I was talking to some cats at work about Hall of Fame. One dude was talking about how it had no buzz but that's OK cause Sean is still young and barely tipping the ceiling of his "potential."
So I go online later and I think...got damn, that nikka 25...sure, he's young, but he's the same age Pac was when he died. You hear a bullshyt record like Hall of Fame and then realize that dude is the same age Pac was when he recorded The 7 Day Theory. That shyt don't even make any got damn sense.
Look at these ages:
Drake - 26
Kendrick - 26
Big Sean - 25
J. Cole - 26
A$AP Rocky - 24
Big KRIT - 27
Meek Millz - 26
French Montana - 28
Wale - 28
Action Bronson - 29
Future - 29
Danny Brown - 32
Pusha T - 36
When you really sit back and compare the music those cats are making, where they are in their careers and what their content touches on and you compare it to what Pac did before the age of 26 -- the records he made, the lyrics he wrote, the issues he touched on.
He really was a gift from God
Well, no again. On ALL counts... Pac rapped over Dre and DJ Quik...Alright I get what youre saying. but if Tupac's message/delivery is such that he can only go over that basic ass Johnny J shyt, I dont think he can be considered the pinacle of hip hop.
He didnt elevate the artform in the way that Biggie, Nas and Ghostface did
hes like Bob Dylan in that respect. Dylan sang over the most simple instrumentation possible, because he just wanted to clearly convey a message. This helped him, as a cultural figure.. but on a musical level hes not in the same league as Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles etc. because the intricate composition & groundbreaking experimentation isnt there.

Yeah which makes it even more insulting how safe and cookie cutter he is.
