Which Rap Beat Should I Solo Over?

[da-pope]

So seeing how my last jam over a hip hop beat, "Stronger by Kanye West" was a big hit on here, what should I jame over next?

"Changes" - Tupac or "Don't Matter" - Akon

It's up to you bra'.

[Joshiwa]

You have to go with old skool so Tupac is the choice for me

[Romolo]

You gotta do the 2Pac, homie.

Akon ain't got nothing on Makaveli.

[ZeroAsALimit]

This MUST be rhetorical. Akon is never acceptable. NEVER.

[da-pope]

Here are the instrumentals:
Changes and Don't Matter

Obviously Tupac kicks the fuck out of Akon but I think Don't Matter would be a real intresting challange,

Smack That is like anything 50 Cent churns out. The only difference is one is Rap, the other is Urban.

I prefer my rap to be rapped, as opposed to being sung.

And the constant playing of Lonely made my want to go deaf, something fiddy hasn't been able to achieve yet.

It just had to be said at least once here. Also, I don't listen to rap, so I can't help, I'm afraid.

Someone's never heard Tupac.
Shit is some of the best music ever made.

no someone hates rap i prefer decent music

[G-Banger]

While I'm here I'll just say Tupac is overrated. Best career move he made was dying. Rap over one of Nas' beats.

No you don't. You see, being objective you have to appreciate every genre and subgenre of music. You would never get a job as a critic and you fail horribly at music. Philistines on the internet. Pah! >:(

EVERYONE is overrated. Hell, my beloved Swans are overrated.

I think Lupe Fiasco is better then Nas, personally.

[mightypotato]

Just do what most rappers do and solo over the bass line from Knight Rider.

Well listen to pac's lyrics compared to ANY popular rapper out there today. Minus Eminem, he completly blows them out of the water. Just take the song I linked to in the original post.

Not saying Eminem is better then Tupac but he's the closest thing this era has got

[emochild]

I have never been much of a Akon fan so I choose 2Pac

But listen to the beats... Wouldn't "Don't Matter" sound intresting with a guitar solo over it?

[Dark-Serpent]

I'm gonna have to go with Pac cuz to be honest "Don't Matter" is kinda hurtin

[da-pope]

Jesus Christ.
Anyone wanna do me a favour and find out what chords are in the tupac song?

I can't find the key it's in for the life of me.
