Title: Tupac Shakur
Post by: chilin_dude on August 03, 2005, 04:04:00 AM
Over-rated IMHO, I can see what you are saying in the latter
QUOTE
i think tupac was a leader more then a rapper, he tried to get out of missery,out poverty and most of all payback to the people that didnt help him, the big government.
and I agree with that, just I don't think he was an incredibly good rapper to be perfectly honest - there are/were many better than him.

Over Rated. He probably would have been unknown if it wasnt for the East Coast West Coast thing.

I like him but I would not say he's the best. Look at Krs-One, Geru from Gang Starr, Big L, Biggie, Jay-Z and Nas those are some of the best of all time

50 Cent is a pile of shit too. Jay-Z is embarassing. Just because his shit went gold/platinum doesn't mean he's talented, it means his label knows how to market. Just like mainstream rock music like linkin park, mudvayne, whatever, it's all bullshit. I personally know musicians better than the people who are in some of those mainstream bands, but are their garage bands going platinum? Naw. But that doesn't mean they don't have talent. It's the same with today's mainstream rap. All this talk about G-Unit, Jay-Z, whatever has NOTHING on 80's and early 90's rap, where the rappers were actually REAL and had some talent. If you want talent in todays rap and not just hoes, bling, and drugs over and over and over with every song and every faggot that comes in trying to claim themselves a new original rapper you're going to have to look hard. There are many underground rappers who would tear Jay-Z to shreads. A lot of the mainstream and semi-mainstream could too, for that matter. Jada would eat Jay-Z alive. But it's all just marketing and image, man. Look past all the shit they're trying to throw at you and see that without the big names and the bling and the mtv videos, that Jay-Z and the rest of the idiots just plain suck.

I'm not whining man. That guy called me out saying I was wrong. Sorry to offend you but when talking about the state of rap the old "money, hoes, bling, etc" argument has to be used.

i wouldnt go as far as calling it crap. just because you cant relate to any of it. at first i hated rap because the only thing youd hear is ice this and bling that. lame lame lame. if youve ever heard or seen a really good freestyler youll know that there is definately skill there. and there a lot of underground rappers that usually tend to be better, because they arent rich and dont rap about being rich, they actually have something to say. so before you ever call something crap know what your talking about.

That's why he said "I think tupac is the best rapper ever" and not "tupac is the best rapper ever."

Yea because all of rap music is about "killing your ex-wife/girlfriend because she fucking your brother, or youre gonna kill your mom, or rape this other guys wife in front of your kids", you really have no clue what the fuck you're talking about.

its time you geeks get some education about hip hop.

first of all Tom sawyer is 100% right; he knows what his talking about.

second, tupac was not meant to be a leader and there are better rappers then him who are fighting about a lot more important issues.

for example take "immortal technique", he raps about politics, any one that listens to him will learn about some dark shit, and he his so devoted he turned away a record deal to stay independent! tupac only bitched about the ghetto like every else.

peace.

I think tupac is very overrated.

Anyway Jay-Z is the greatest alive IMO. If you say he isnt one of the greats you stupid and dont know rap. Your also most likely a Nas fan who cant let it go that more than 5 people like JayZ.

If Jay Z sucks so much why is he respected as one of the greatest rappers by most rappers (Royce 59, Dre, Em, 50, DMX, Canibus, Kanye, BIG, Jadakiss, Etc)?
