Tupac Shakur

[m4x0]

Tupac Shakur changed the face of rap, with his insightful quotes such as "I fucked you bitch you fat motherfucker", and " you claim to be a player but i fucked your wife".

What kind of discussion are you hoping to create with this thread?

If Biggie had known just how popular Tupac was going to become among impressionable Pakistani youths, he'd have shot fifty times as much lead into him out of rage.

For a while, I thought Tupac Shakur was a jewish holiday.

[JackPhantasm]

Was definitely better than rappers today.

Yeah, he did have good lyrics douche. Such as:

"Pour out some liquor and I reminsce, cause through the drama
I can always depend on my mama
And when it seems that I'm hopeless
You say the words that can get me back in focus
When I was sick as a little kid
To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you did
And all my childhood memories
Are full of all the sweet things you did for me
And even though I act craaazy
I gotta thank the Lord that you made me
There are no words that can express how I feel
You never kept a secret, always stayed real
And I appreciate, how you raised me
And all the extra love that you gave me
I wish I could take the pain away
If you can make it through the night there's a brighter day
Everything will be alright if ya hold on
It's a struggle everyday, gotta roll on
And there's no way I can pay you back
But my plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated"

A ten-year old could've written those lyrics. Seriously. It's unbelievable that people actually buy into that nonsense.

Incidentally, the song you're referring to is actually one of my favorite songs by 2Pac.

Sure there isn't a lot of sophistication behind the verbiage, but you have to admit the guy knew how to find the rythm in the word. I'm not much for wrap, but even reading that I could see how you were supposed to read it, I could feel where the words rolled into each other and had emphasis. He may not have had the vocab, but he had a lot of the technique behind poetry down. Don't be so critical. Besides, it's the message that's important in that song to its listeners, not the lyrics.

Remember Hey Delilah? It wasn't that original or inspiring, but it worked cause people got it and connected with it.

Poozy, I'm "sanctioning" this topic

He was the biggest poser ever. Did you know he was a backup dancer for Pop Videos.

Yeah real gangster, B.I.G. will always be better.

If by pop videos you mean digital underground, the same group he used to kick start his career as a rapper.

I was never a fan of Tupac or Biggie (I liked Wu-Tang/GZA more than them), but I can agree with you. He's certainly one of the most influential figures in the genre.

The only rap/hip-hop groups I can enjoy nowadays are Jurassic 5, Jedi Mind Tricks, and A Tribe Named Quest.
