    Just curious why you think rappers like Kanye, Jay, Nas etc aren't on Tupacs level

    Pac is my 3rd favorite of all time, for various reasons. Number 1, his energy and mic presence MIGHT be the best ever... His delivery, flow, and energy was just unmatched by anyone, and he was one of the pioneers in the early 90's.

    Also, his song content. He started to get repetitive, when he started getting paranoid and recording like 3 songs a day...

    This is another example of new rap fans not having an appreciation to the pioneers, but I understand. I grew up on Pac, and he was so much fun to listen to, as was Biggie, two artists who I see new age fans label "overrated"... They're not overrated at all.

    Pac was a GREAT storyteller, and he was innovative in his song's concepts too. He was like a less lyrical, but more charismatic Nas in that respect. You didn't know what to expect from song to song when listening to a 2Pac album back then. You knew he'd push the boundaries though.

    As far as Kanye? I feel the same way about him, but from a production standpoint. The guy sets trends within the industry. I don't think he's necessarily one of the GOAT rappers, but he makes excellent music.

    I'd still pick Pac though.

    Easily Pac for me, I like Kanye more as a producer than a rapper.

    Someone like you, IE, a Kanye dickrider that doesn't want to give any credit to Pac.

    I mean you just expose your bias & lose credibility when you say that every Kanye album (besides Kanye's worst album Graduation of course) is better than any 2pac album.

    Nobody agrees with that nonsense except Kanye stans. Most people will agree that makaveli me against the world and 2pacalypse now are great, atg, classic, timeless albums that could hold their own with the best of the best.

    You though? you claim that Kanye just blows him out of the water except for Graduation.. which is just not true, the consensus says otherwise.

    I seriously can't understand how someone could act like Yeezus is better than any 2Pac album LOL.

    why wouldn't I want to give any credit to Pac? You're just making things up. I love Pac. I just think his albums weren't very well crafted. Always had some filler and some s-----y unnecessary guest verses. Kanye's albums are works of art, I really don't think you can say the same thing for 2Pac's. They both have very different strengths and I prefer Kanye's.
