The reason why Tupac Shakur has remained the people's champ, is because he kicked shit from the heart. No rappity rap lyrical miracle shit, just truth. If anything his lyrics were more powerful and "lyrical" because he was a master poet. No one can fuck with his hits.

Imagine paying a dollar for that from 1990-2010, now some of these elote/raspado man's accepts zelle and cash app payments

That has to be one of the hardest opening lines to any hip hop record. "Hi kids, do you like violence?" It immediately grabs your attention. Let's not front.
And Cassidy hasn't been the same since Arsenal laid him out.

So he was damn near 40 years old and didn't know better??? You make it sound like he was 9 or some shit. And a 9 year old knows better.

Pac was raised by Panthers and had the FBI harassing him when he was in elementary school. Money B said Pac was just about ready to quit music and start some black panther shit. He just happened to also be a poet and actor.

Again, your top 25 has Cheeks on it. That alone is enough to pull your card, Ice Cube is a top 10 dead or alive. No amount of word play or quadruple entendres can match what Cube did for Hip Hop. Damn near every GOAT MC has Cube at the top of the list.

@Drake
is what happens when Disney wants to fabricate a "rapper" for profits. He's the Britney Spears/Justin Timberlake of "Rap".
Pusha T showed him too much mercy.
@madd_slander
I mean Madlib worked with him and elevated his status, how "whack" could he actually be? Then we have shit like Mos Def buying his record without even having a record player⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇
@madd_slander
I get what slander is saying, but I was fucking with doom before social media even came into existence, homie Chris was yelling "Metal Face" before all of this goofy shit started. He put me up on it, if you knew you knew, doom recorded his shit at Stretch boogaloos place -

Nobody was listening to Reasonable Doubt until the year 2000, took a year to sell 400,000 copies, All Eyes On Me sold 600,000 it's first week. Think about that for a second? Pac was alive and well when it dropped so that "his death sold records, that's why" won't stick. The 🐐

I was raised on raw gutter hip hop, disgusting beats, incredible voices like Big, Scarface, Kane, Chuck D. Just to get to this, a nasal, pre pubescent voice over trash beats and a corny message. That's all you guys
@madd_slander
No need to wait for her to drop it, Sway gave us the best Pac interview of all time. Pac left nothing unanswered, let the east coast know what time it was.
But they're always trying to dirty up Pac's memory like he wasn't really about his shit. Like he was just running off at the mouth and didn't let off on those cops.
@madd_slander
But when Pac got to Death Row Quik was the one showing and proving, Dre was nowhere to be found. Quik was the mastermind behind All Eyes On Me. No disrespect to the genius of Dre. But Quik could go in the studio and go toe to toe with Dre, he's one of the best engineers too.
@madd_slander
Slander come on dawg, are you sure about that? Because "2pacalypse Now" sold 240,000 copies it's first week, in nineteen ninety fuckin' one. Reasonable Doubt sold 48,000 it's first week, you wanna talk about who was ringing bells? Be accurate G. This is how you know hov was 🗑
