Tupac was a smart dude though, he went to art school and was up on current events. His parents were black panthers and his mom forced him to read news papers from cover to cover everyday.

Not a shock... a lot of the great rappers of the 80s/early-90s were crazy young when they were droppin' classic records- they seemed older cause we were kids but them nikkas were all young. Rakim was 18, LL was 17, Big was 22, Nas was 20, Kane was 19, Cube was 19, Scarface was like 21, KRS at 22. It's kinda wild to see nikkas now that are damn near 30 (and some over that) coming out and bout weak as it gets. They ain't got a shot in hell at ever gettin' any better than they are, and some of 'em probably were better when they were young and we hadn't heard them yet.

Back in the day, with the crack epidemic and all, people were forced to grow up quick. Hell, at 13, many of them were considered men. Cats made classics back then at a young age because they wanted to make an impact, and a legacy to their loved ones since they could have got GOT at any time . People today don't have that pressure, so they grow up slower and take life as one big party.

Biggie died when he was 24 and was the KING of rap.

No he was king of NY.

Whole point of this thread is saying that pac was 25 when he died, and he is top 5 rapper of all time. Now these new cats that are coming out now that are 25 sound like they just started rapping. Crazy biggie was 24 when he died also. fukk hip hop done fell off.

Basically.

2 Chainz and Plies were both valedictorians at their respective schools and graduated with 4.0.
I stand by my statement. Being smart and raised right doesn't automatically make you a great artist

I grew up with a dude who came from a respectable family and had nothing but good grades, last I heard he was giving an older white man head for pills and coke.

He was ahead of his time.

God bless you Lesane Parish Crooks, rest in paradise
