I think if anyone in the year of 1996 was caught in a time warp and saw hip hop today they would be confused.. even Busta Rhymes would look at himself like

Of Macklemore, yes
Nahh he woulda been ashamed of it 2000-2009, but if he was alive those years wouldn't of happened. Tupac knew music and had an understanding of it, deep down he frowned upon the "gangsta" aspects of hip-hop that made his image popular

He openly complained about the fusion between R&B and hip-hop during the earlier interviews in his career, I believe in 1991 or 1992 he said this . . he obviously grew to change his stance on this "Temptations", "How Do You Want It", "Toss It Up" . . what does that tell you right there, obviously playing the Interscope/industry game . . ala Em "Hi My Name Is", "Real Slim Shady" blahblah every other album - "Bezerk" - 50 Cent "Magic Stick", "Candyshop", "Amusement Park" and constant efforts to recreate the success of "In Da Club".
All three of these rappers mentioned are perfect examples of amazing once in a life time talents, a combination of unique experiences, skill sets, mixed with excelled songwriting skills. I wouldn't doubt that any of these 3 could go into a classroom and teach a class full of students about the elements of songwriting. Interscope constantly had these guys trying to recreate the success of a prior single, it's almost like a formula demanded of those artists. I believe as a songwriter it's a badge of honor to be able to do it successfully, Tupac was . . "Temptations", "
I feel like "Ambitionz Az a Ridah" is a precursor to "Hail Mary", it's almost like a before and after, you can hear the effect that year had on him. In 1996 he was in a zone where everything he would've wrote turned to gold and he was advancing as a songwrite. Towards the end of his life as the themes of his music got darker he would use terms to vividly describe sceneries, it was getting more theatrical
In 1994 - "Better have your Nikes (ny-kes), on . . cause when we fight it's in the middle of the night with no lights on . . Heeeeey"
post July 1996 - "catch me dip into the light of the stray moon"
