Tupac is way overrated, he is not even in my top 10.

That was one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever heard
What's next? You'll say fifty cent has lyrical talent?
Fx blesses himself before a patw combo, Tiernan blesses himself before a neck to sole transition.... but hey thats next generation :rolleyes:

Rakim
Nas
Ice Cube
KRS1
Big Daddy Kane
Jay Z
Notorious Big
Chuck D
Scareface
Ghostface Killah
Gza

I'm not even gonna bother with Wu-Tang clan or Mobb Deep cuz they are groups.

Seriously most Pac fanboys fell in love with his character, that theatrical thug concept he was on. Him and Death row where on some dramatic shit took advantage of the whole 'West v East' bullshit used it to blow him self up, his mysterious death, dieing a legend to his fans immortalized in pictures and shit contributed to his fame. But musically he wasn't on the same level as the legends.  You might be into his music and the whole west coast sound but don't be ridiculous and call him GOAT.   :saywhat:

Aiight these aiint in any order

Tupac Shakur
Biggie Smalls
Ice Cube
Kanye West
Twista
Tech Nine
Naughty by Nature
NWA
Jay Z

Umm thats just what came to my mind while writin em, i have heaps more

Anyways i reckon Tupac is a legend, his music is great and his lyrics are also great. I personally dont like the hardcore rap he has out, but some are great "Hit em Up".

Also some of his other songs, that are more of a softer rap compared to the harder ones; Dear mama, changes, keep yah head up, heaven for a g

And some that have deep stories behind em "Brendas got a baby"

Anyways i think Tupac is great, and him and Biggie are in my Top 3 fave rap artists no doubt

Top 3 no way in hell. Thats reserved for Nas, Ice Cube and Rakim. I'm not saying Tupac is garbage, but than again he's not the lyrical genius people make him out to be. If anyone wants to compare lets do it I've done it many times and won. Ice Cube or Nas you pick.. album for album song for song!

You are arguing that Pac is the GOAT right? Prove it. Give me a Pac album/song I'll give you a better or the same Nas/ Cube Album/song.
