What was Pac's secret?

[Still Benefited]

i dont remember any of this. The term goat wasnt even used back then. The main reason I say all the Pac love is fake is because Ice cube was the real king of the west in the early - mid 90's. Ice Cube was the rapper who had love on all coasts. Ice Cube was the bigger star with better albums. Yet no one puts Cube on the same pedistool that they do pac....it looks phoney and contived. You can hear Cubes influence all over Strictly 4 My NIKKAS....No one ever mentions how cube united a Blood and Crip on one album and made a classic. This was his way of unity. Meanwhile Pac got killed trying to be down on some gangster sh*t which divided Bloods and crips..

Well in my opinion Cube is underated by everybody,not just Pac stans......cube number two on my list and realistically its hard for ANY stan of anybody to make a argument against Cube bein the goat outside of personal preference....2 classic group albums 2 seperate groups,3 classic albums,NWA's impact,penning other nikkas classics if u count all the writing he did on eazy duz it.,and as u said he also has influence....but don't just put that on Pac fans,the media need to take blames and all fans period for sleepin on Cube...

Far as Cube bein King musically let's be honest,around 93 that title had been turned over to Snoop,Cube wouldn't have been a factor as to why Pac couldn't be king once he blew,even though MATW wuz succesful he still wuznt the king until AEOM dropped,even as a kid Pac wuz the thing to talk about at that point,hottest music,best storyline,that's who we wuz rootin for....id say him and snoop wuz 1A and 1B at that point.....I wuz too young to know about Cube durin his reign so my perception of west coast king goes from MC Hammer first then Snoop,then Pac....I know the hammer pick ain't accurate but as a kid he ran the world to me,but there wuz a transition from Cube bein the king....post 2pacalypse u couldn't say musically he wuz much less popular than Spice 1...but with the controversy of MATW he well surpassed Spice at that point....AEOM took it to the next level,he wuznt cemented as the king forever but nobody wuz at that point.

Pac fans been rockin with em for damn near 20 yrs,the ones that only fuked wit em cuz he died have long since jumped ship to sumthing else,nikkas still sayin he the goat really mean that shyt.....there's a statute of limitations on nikkas lovin a dead rapper that fake love and props don't last forever

 

[Gifted one]

The most influential rapper who was ahead of his time dude was like 20 dropping songs like Brenda's got a baby

 

[IronFist]

bump

 

[infamousred]

The ability to write a great song trumps all. That man had songs on soundtracks that would be other rappers best material.

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

I think Pac represented a culmination point.Somebody like him had to be born out of the times.

The 60's/70's with the Black Liberation movements....The crack/gang infested 80's

Just look at his history.No other rapper was dead in the middle of those two periods like he was


The times/environment shape who we are, but it's highly concentrated in certain individuals.These people have a heightened sense of awareness/consciousness.Damn near some X Men, mutant type shyt.

I think Pac was one of those people.Like a clairvoyant or some shyt

He just happened to cross paths with hip hop & used it as a platform to express his gift through rap.

had a distinct flow. his flow didn't distract from the beat but wasn't forgettable either. knew how to use infliction in his voice. you could clearly understand the words. very straightforward lyrics that people didn't have to decipher but yet still had a poetic vibe to the words (rhyme schemes, alliteration, the way he would build up on ideas). also, one clever thing he did with his vocals is that it sounded like he always overdub over them and kept most of it. it made is voice sound even more powerful.

add the whole rebel/revolutionary image, the whole story, etc.

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

when you express from the bowel of your dikk and heart then your words and actions will be felt. His Art became powerful.

 

[Freestyle Phantom3.0]

and for some reason his music don't age. try to play a young kid 36 chambers or nwa shyt.. they'll be like

but play some pac and it's , no matter the age or generation

This is the perfect answer

Death

Nobody was dikkriding this nikka like this before he died from 91-94 pac was just another hip hop act.After he dies he became a martyr and his music has become overrated by sheep

That's that shyt haters say. Pac was worldwide before he passed. The fact of the matter is, once he died he left a void. Ppl love him now because he is one of the only rappers that can't be duplicated. Man, to he'll with all yall new age fans.

[Youngblood Priest]

Cool story b, pac is dead and I'm not I don't give a shyt where he's ranked to a bunch of groupies.There are several mc's with better albums,bars,concepts and conscious songs than pac.

No

 

[Youngblood Priest]

Pac didnt have the #1 record with MATW? Then with AEOM? etc...

youre a dumbass mang

Dumb ass matw was a number one album. God you nikkaz are delusional.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

I don't know what exactly you mean by touched but Eminem was more popular

No he's not. Eminem's fanbase is mainly white while 2pac's was more global and multi ethnic/racial. It's like the difference between Elvis and Michael Jackson.

No, he didn't do a world tour, but the WORLD was ducking with him tho. I didn't say how old yo old ass is, just that you're one of these new age fukk nikkaz. Ya dig shawty.
