Well thats not the criteria for the list so why would we be talking about that itt dumbass
They didnt say he was a top 5 lyricist they said he was a top 5 rapper
Ok, that's my bad then. I ain't mean just lyricism either, just overall quality of the music and ability as a rapper.
I mean…
His lyrics were too straight forward to be “avant- grade”? Okay, they were densely poetic in phrasing and phonetics, powerful and effective execution of emotional subject matter, quotables out the ass and tightly structured from a rhyme standpoint. Not to mention he has arguably the greatest rap voice of all time. His flow is effortless and instantly hooks any listener in
This isn’t all time rapping? Come on now. And the guy made hits - both substantive and party focused, based on his effective penmanship and passion on the mic
If he ain't die the time and way he did, we would not be having this conversation

Fair enough!! Thats a more understandable opinion
I still disagree though, have a blessed night though

We’d be having an even stronger conversation about Pac if he didnt die but thats another convo
I'm tired of the 2Pac glorification. Bro was not that good of a rapper
Epitome of “I’m just gonna say some s***”

Here’s that quote you wanted
If he ain't die the time and way he did, we would not be having this conversation

from a pure rapper perspective and not overall artist perspective i understand not having travis or cudi in this list despite their influence and success
then they go put on kanye over 3k kanye is the greatest alive but as a rapper is he really better than 3k
and don't get me started on nicki minaj

“People only listen to 2Pac because he died” is a terrible take

"the teams took into account the following criteria, not in any particular order: body of work/achievements (charted singles/albums, gold/platinum certifications), cultural impact/influence (how the artist’s work fostered the genre’s evolution), longevity (years at the mic), lyrics (storytelling skills) and flow (vocal prowess).
