He got some incredible songs and albums (me against the world all eyez on me i also have a deep love for 2pacalypse i know ppl hate that one) but i dont think hes the best to ever do it or even close

Thug, Uzi, and Carti are great artists

I probably know Pacs early history the most on this site n grew up around the s***, dads from vallejo n i was born in oakland.

Suge didnt do s*** besides amplify things, when before death row he used to have niggas like Big Daddy Kane n E40 being his actual friends.

But Pac was still always Pac lol.

Glad you left out Trippie lol but where did I say they weren’t?

is that a bad thing?

i dont think so...

LOL

I don't mind 2pac being "overrated", I just hate that he's used as a standard to s*** on newer artists

But it’s the copycats of those 3 and future that hurt rap

Just cause Wayne influenced the three most bitten off artists doesn’t mean he contributed to rap falling off lol

That’s like saying nirvana was responsible for rock music becoming worse

very dumb thread, i hate u mfs

Not necessarily if people understood the things that separated Carti Uzi Thug from Wayne and apply that science to their own s*** instead of doing Carti Uzi Thug imitations

Regardless I’m just saying when Pac was in that spot you got a different type of artist. Two distinctly different artists like Kanye and 50 could both be inspired by Pac meanwhile all that most new artists take from Wayne is d****, colorful dreadlocks and “rockstar yuhhhh” lol

Not taking anything away from Wayne himself who’s had hella eras (and there are exceptions like YB and Kodak, although they also inspired by people like Boosie)

They tryna do Pac like they did MJ FOH

Pac is an incredible rapper lol

I mean the Nirvana s*** is debatably true if the end result was s***ty grunge bands

I’m not a big rock head so I can’t speak knowledgeably on Nirvanas lasting effect

It’s not a knock against Wayne just saying what happened

does the verbal defication of ktt2 posters annoy the s*** out of anyone else

Dude has a flawless 5 album run with 3-4 classics in that lineup dropped CONSECUTIVELY, is the son of Afeni and Mutulu Shakur, was a dope actor, and got Bloods and Crips in Oakland to agree to a ceasefire and study Marxist and Pan-Africanist theory for 3 years. gtfo saying this man isn't GOATed lol

i mean dude is a legend and hes treated as such i dont see where the problem is

Pac doesnt even have a classic album tbh

Somewhere a Drake stan gets his feelings hurt every time yall post my avy

how can i be forgotten when i was never known

win/win situation!

ngl most new rappers today don't take inspo from carti or uzi, u only think that bc thats the guys who blow up most often.

i work in a studio, i have yet to engineer any sort of uzi or carti inspired guy. most ppl are just on the philly sound (kur, leaf ward, etc), detroit s***, or yb stuff

Yoo Pac the socialist?

F*** you man
