greatest catalogue in hip hop.
song for song no one seeing 2pac. on my mount rushmore of rap along with rakim, cube, scarface and nas. those 5 just in a league by themselves. doing original shyt. important shyt. foundational shyt.
i remember the media back in the 90's man. rap used to get shyt on. there would be op eds shytting on pac. treating as a dumb black thug. we didnt really have the kind of dynamic we have now with social media where nonsense can be countered. if u just watched the news and shyt u would see where whiteswere really inhumane to black people.
imagine if a young pac was alive now though? that media platform? i genuinely believed pac was the malcolm or had the pitential to be of his generation. his interviews were extremely eloquent, passionate, rational. nikka had the intelligence of a black history and american history tenured professor.which means he was old before his time. the cats like suge were still stuck on the short sighted nonsense of the day. pac just had a bigger context to everything man.
i felt a way when chris rock made fun of pac and big on bigger and blacker and never scared. shytting on our icons for white audiences.
