Pacs death

OP who do you consider a “good” rapper?

op is CONFIRMED white and live in the suburbs

young thug, future, youngboy, playboi carti, lil keed, lil gotit, just to name a few. However i used to listen almost exclusively to 90s rap when i was in high school ie: gang starr, old jay z, wu tang, mos def, nas etc

im not white lol

If you know you know, that’s all there is to it

Oh so you're a zoomer.

Explains a lot

i just turned 24 i am not a zoomer

Dear mama alone is better than 80% of music today

Assuming you’re not trolling I think it’s pretty obvious 2pac appealed to a lot of people especially during the time. His traits (voice, lyrical content, flow, etc) are all easy to latch on to and that’s just speaking strictly from a musical perspective not including the things people loved about him outside of music. I’m not the biggest Pac fan but it’s easy to see why people love him

Stfu

is that why he sold so much when he was alive

Reported

I mean first you gotta post a coherent argument as to why you don't think he is a great rapper and why you think he's incapable of making good music

replying with super short answers lacking in content ain't gonna cut it. it makes you look like a troll even if you didn't intend to troll.

Just my two cents

I suppose youre right. Some good points were made tho and i feel i gained from the discussion.

That’s just my opinion

I don’t think people would be putting him on the pedestal as much if he hadn’t died tbh

no

When you listen to him like really listen to him not just hear what he’s saying it just grabs a hold of you

just something like thugz mansion is incredible writing, imagination and display of vulnerable emotion

better dayz a song where he looks in the past for better days then realizes better days are ahead where in the story his girl is pregnant

Idk he just says a lot without saying too much...and a lot of songs he’s capturing almost like a moment of clarity or a shimmer of light or an epiphany and it all unfolds from start to finish

when he was dancing in his music video during I get around

I think we need a KTT3

If u can listen to Dear Mama, Keep ya head up, etc

And not feel anything in the music... idk what to tel u, pac is just simply not for u and the struggles dont resonate with u

please shut up
