Pac an X my favorite

But the best thing about them 2 is it don’t sound like they telling a story

Like wit a Children’s story you know he’s telling you a story

Wit X an Pac they just rapping an it don’t sound like they telling you a story, idk how to explain it

Nah.

The reason is becuz alot of his lyrics were written when he was younger and/or battling on the streets. He even say in his book E.A.R.L. that
he never liked wasting lyrics, which is why you'll hear him spit written downs off old/unreleased songs when he freestyles.

I think he, like Joe Budden etc, is an artist who almost has to go through something (incl. drugs and alcohol) to write the best shyt. Pac
was the same but i think a difference was that Pac also wrote poetry and studied in art school so he was prolly better at writing fiction tales or
pulling from stories around him when need be. Also he wasnt addicted to hard drugs (that we know of)
I think its drama. You gotta get worked up and have shyt to think about to efectivly do it long term. If you THAT type of rapper (budden pac x aka emotional).

Sad thing is it keeps you in that loop and you never escape ya problems cuz their fuel for songs.

Just a guess

I say that cuz x and odb are sinilar and odb hated the studio but he used ghost writers and never made emotional material really. Just fun stuff

Btw my fav storytellers:

1. Ghost
2. Slick Rick
3. Biggie
