Drake was an actor and Kanye grew up in the suburbs. Aubrey raps about Mob Ties now and Ye wanna roll with them GDs. Both of them are one of your top artists. Nothing against their music they‘re obviously GOATS but this seems pretty hypocritical to me.

The racist detected

Niggas hacked me

Lol...All types of rappers have messages that are inconsistent.

Eminem bashed pop stars in his prime but wounded up doing collabs with them.

Hov went from d***riding Gotti, d*** dealing, and European art culture to becoming a pro-Black conscious rapper in his late career.

Kanye went from being an alternative backpack rapper to making songs like NIP which is straight braggadocio and flashy.

B-B-But Pac contradicted himself. Lol

He went to art school yes and got himself involved in a lot s*** he shouldn't have but Pac is not the blueprint for the term studio gangster. That's Dre, the whole reason we even use that term is because of Eazy E's Dre diss. There's also numerous tales of Pac getting into confrontations that didn't involve women including the famous standoff with Nas.

Like this isn’t a big f***ing deal. Having an iconic voice is like a top five requirement for being a goat in the first place lol

Lol I basically mean artists of that tier

I mean, living life as a black man I appreciate his "Thug Life" way of operating a LOT more than I did as a kid

To me, being a thug isn't being a criminal or anything like that, I see it as putting no inhibitions on and offering no apologies for your blackness, and having good reason to say "Fuck the system" because the system has never f***ed with us

That being said

I only really listen to Pac for the beats, he knew how to ride em decently and say some generally cool agreeable s***, and thats abt it

Bruh complains about "studio gangstas" but listens to Drake make it make sense

Look at you, emotional. My point is that Drake, Kanye and the like get continuously criticized for these things but don't give Pac the same energy because of his good guy image

Hell yea Pac was cap when it came to street s***

Bruh was still a superstar tho

Ban

Lol...where have you been?

One of Pac's enemies just bashed the dog s*** out of his existence on a podcast a month ago.

Tons of people s***ted on Pac after death lol.

Just because people recognize Pac's importance and impact in hip hop doesn't mean we're "deifying him."

My point is give the ballerina the same energy y'all do Kanye and Drake

So questioning someone is being emotional now? Lmao.

But nah many people especially so called "hip hop heads" critize Pac for that. The casual listener doesn‘t care about that s***

lol definitely sacrificed a bit of my soul 4 this one

Is this thread about him as a rapper or human? Cause it’s getting all over the place tbh

"look at you, emotional"

saving this 4 later that's gold lol

A lot of uncultured cacs ITT

This what I’m trying to figure out

Cause in what world do people not slander Pac for how he was moving once he signed to Death Row

how do ppl deify the guy? because they kinda do deify him as a human too. "Tupac isn't the goat just bc of the music its bc of all the real s*** he said too"

That‘s what I‘m sayin

Listen to Bomb First and tell me Pac was just average he ate that s***
