Nas (and Biggie) are my favorite rappers but 2pac and Jay-Z are by far the GOATS in my eyes
As far as 2pac, you're never going to get another rapper who personified what it meant to be a human being on record.....in all it's many elements and contradictions. He may have not had the most intricate way of saying things but he knew how to reach the depths of your soul and touch every feeling you could possibly have better than anyone. Seeing stuff like this Ferguson shooting makes me miss him more. Pac knew how to be conscious and still connect with people......Just an overall brilliant writer.

Been bumpin Pac since jump. Copped every album, even the bootleg Makaveli joints. I go back n forth between him and Nas as #1.
With all this extra stressing
The question I wonder is after death, after my last breath
When will I finally get to rest through this suppression?
They punish the people that's asking questions
And those that possess, steal from the ones without possessions
The message I stress: to make it stop study your lessons
Don't settle for less - even the genius asks his questions
Be grateful for blessings
Don't ever change, keep your essence
The power is in the people and politics we address
Always do your best, don't let the pressure make you panic
And when you get stranded
And things don't go the way you planned it
Dreaming of riches, in a position of making a difference
Politicians and hypocrites, they don't wanna listen
If I'm insane, it's the fame made a brother change
It wasn't nothing like the game
It's just me against the world
