Seriously? We are gonna sit here and debate that Pac raps on Rakim, LL and KRs level?
First off, everyone knows Pac is not a technical, lyrical rapper. That alone, to me, means he couldn't survive a battle for skills.
Second, he is not a battle rapper. He might be able to beat your by screaming at you and threatening you or cussing you out in a diss record but that's not a battle. Besides, who in the hell ass is Pac little butt going to beat by himself??
LMAO, so that means that if he is dissing about fukking somebody up, it ain't credible in a one on one. Basically, he will get eaten up but the aforementioned rappers.
Third, Pac "mastered" their styles only means I can make rhymes using their flows (the flows that taught me and I borrowed from). It doesn't take a genius to substitute someone's rhymes with your own to make it yours (we all do it every day when we are listening to our favorites songs).
