Rap sucks nowadays. All it is is guns and bling, the only good rappers now are hopsin and J Cole and Immortal Technique.

Tupac's only strong points were his death, his beef, and his presence / charisma / persuasion.
Kanye West is better at being Tupac than Tupac was at being Tupac.
Name a talented rapper

Imma take the protip, I can't.
I aint mad at cha. Got nothin but love for ya.
Name someone with better flow bitch
Why does anyone think Tupac is good? I mean I understand the normies say he's good just for the sake of bandwagoning and BORN IN TEH WRONG GENERATION XD, but why do any of you? I honestly expected better.
He's alright. There's rarely any songs of his that are better than being mediocre-good
>>63887948
It's called subjective taste
>>63887948
Don't try so hard next time.
>>63885939
>>63885988
You guise win the internet XDD
>>63887986
Subjective taste? Or being irrational? Like I listen to Eminem because of subjective taste. I don't think he's fantastic or one of the best rappers known to man. Being delusional and self-absorbed has nothing to do with subjective taste. I like Eminem and listen to him for fun. Doesn't mean I think he's the best rapper or even close.
This "subjective taste" defense is getting p absurd.

>>63888090
I replied to you because you suggested he wasn't good, not that he wasn't the best. I don't particularly like him myself but you seem a bit angry over nothing haha, who cares what other people like man
I have never heard a Tupac song ever
>>63888205
You probably have in passing but didn't know who the artist was
>>63888177
I wouldn't say I'm angry, but, emotion is difficult to convey through text so what's the point :\
But, idk. I mean, I personally have never found anything in him that was GREAT or super engulfing and captivating. I just find all his music to be fun listens that should just be enjoyed while they play, instead of being pedestalized.
>>63888239
I intentionally don't listen to music, I yell and plug my ears whenever I hear anything melodic in the background
>>63885835
Keep in mind this is my opinion, but I'm open to critique:
>Best writer of all time
Earl Sweatshirt (His latest album is literally poetry from start to finish)
>Best Flow
Kendrick hands down
>Best Freestyle
Biggie smalls, I'm not a big fan but he was notorious for them
>Most naturally talented
Tyler the Creator, just a shame he wasted so much of his early stuff on edgelord shit.
>Best production
Yeezy
>BIggest Jew
Straight split between Jay and Dre.
>Best earfeel
Death Grips ;)
>Best overall rapper
Gotta be Kanye again, you can listen to his whole discog and not get bored, he's so diverse and just comfy as fuck,
I like Hopsin but he just seems good at everything to me, not great.

this meme is old no one is laughing at it anymore
as a matter o fact, no one ever did
>>63888296
I think the whole point about Tupac is that his most famous songs aren't fun, they're songs about real shit.
>>63888564
Fun as in fun listens, not fun vs serious tone or atmosphere. Like I listen to some pleb rock now and then as fun listens.
>>63887948
He was the kendrick of his time (subject matter-wise)
>>63888352
you're comparing rapper to prducers to bands. if you go by "best rapper" you should judge them just by that and not their output as a whole. btw kendrick most definitly doesn't have the best flow ever. 2pac is a strong contender but so is eminem. i mean his new stuff sucks and ppl apparently never mention him here but his earlier stuff was exeptional from a flow perspective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7KEuKKuuas
>Think of a better shit than Poop.

Don't you know what kind of thread we're in?

Kanye is easy a better rapper than pac. not even dickriding. Pac is a legend with all due respect, but kanye's first three albums shits on 2pacs whole discography. Kanye has had a much bigger impact than pac also.
can think of many, kanye being one of them

The fact that so many books still name Tupac as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rapper ever only tells you how far hip-hop music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Hip-hop critics are still blinded by commercial success. Tupac sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore he must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Hip-hop critics are often totally ignorant of the rap music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that Tupac did anything worthy of being saved.
>>63889286
kanye is a better musician than pac, pac is a better rapper. kanyes is very mediocre rapper but a genius producer.
>>63886694
>Rap sucks nowadays. All it is is guns and bling,
Is this a joke? This is the majority of Tupac's work.
>>63887505
because it isn't a matter of opinion?

holy shit no he had some pretty shit lines in his time.
I mean RIP in beats and all that but he definitely isn't a better rapper than Pac.
I think the rest of the rappers you listed are better, though.
>>63889440
Probably because rap is only a relatively recent form of music you fucking tard.

eazy was not only a real gangsta who deserved to rap about the shit he did, but he was also an actually good person. dre's disses broke his heart, he wasn't a bitch to suge, man, eazy's a fucking role model. tupac's just a fucking hypocrite.

malcolm x encouraged people to stand up to themselves, ie against corrupt police, which is actually a fundamental american right (see amendment II for something similar), and all that shit happened in the 80's and 90's. now stupid poor blacks have ruined cities like detroit and ferguson. ferguson's management, mayor, police force, everything was black. these are all uneducated ghetto niggas that need to fucking step it up in the real world.
