Tupac Is Better Than Eminem

[SatansAngel]

Tupac has a great catalog of classics. All of Tupac's albums are classics. Eminem is slightly better than him lyrically. Half of Eminem's catalog is garbage. He was only good from 99-02.
From 04-10 he has been GAWWWBAGE. (*Jersey accent)
He fell off so hard from his throne and landed straight on his face.

Respect a legend.

[Mahmoud48]

agree 100%

[Fa-Q]

Ok?

[Slim's Shady]

I agree, my friend.

I smell a stan attack tho.

Tupac has heavily influenced Eminem. To say who's best is unfair. Tupac's legacy was defined by a tragic murder. Here's the question, would Tupac been looked at the same way if he were still alive today? Eminem is in the top 3 best rappers ALIVE no question though.

I could probably come up with more Eminem songs I like by Eminem than pac. Pac tended to sound like a broken record. And The last few pac cds sucked. But that really wasn't his fault, it was just hungry ass record labels scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

Pac isn't anything to sleep on, but I really wish people would stop riding his nuts so hard. He's no voice of a generation. Not some deep poetic guy that was a really a good person underneath. He was just some gangster ass dude. That's why someone pumped shells into his shit talking chest.

That last part really wasn't necessary

You're so misinformed dude. 2Pac was at least educated, he knew what he was talking about. He attended college and studied art. He was a poet before he became a rapper and he's written books. Tupac wasn't just some "gangster ass dude" that was just the environment he grew up in. I'm sure if Tupac was still alive he would be praised almost as much as he was back in the 90's. Seeing as how all of 2Pac's albums from "2pacalypse Now" to "The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory" are undisputed classics.

Don't forget Me Against The World. That's his biggest classic

Yeah, all of his albums are classics. 2Pac never reached a peak because there literally was NO peak for him. Most rapper's albums become progressively worse over time but every time 2Pac released an album it only kept getting better from his previous albums.

Eminem fans take so much pride in his first 3 albums to the point where they truly believe Eminem is the best rapper of all time when they're completely snubbing true legends like 2Pac. It's not only about being crazy lyrical and having insane multi-syllable rhymes it's about WHAT you rap and what you know about and how much feeling you put into it which 2Pac excelled in.

Although I am a fan of Eminem I have to say his music is truly limited because he isn't very aware of social and political issues and maybe if he would study these things more and applied his writing skills to subjects of that nature, he would be without a doubt regarded as the greatest and maybe even above 2Pac by all races/ethnicities. One of the reasons people love 2Pac more was because he was much smarter than Eminem.

[WakeUpShow]

I feel like if 2Pac wouldn't have died he wouldn't be much bigger than Rakim, or KRS, or the members or the Wu, who are all great rappers btw. Same with Big even though im a big fan of his.

"Product of his environment." That is probably the thing I hate more than anything. It's such a bullshit crutch to lean on.

Just because he came from a difficult life it's OK for him to be a cocky gangster that glorified a bunch of negativity and instead of breaking a race away from sterotypes just secured them more deeply into one.

Mike Vick used the same line. And claimed for didn't know dog fighting was wrong until he got caught. You don't get to be a college graduate and not know the difference between right and wrong.

Tupac is a good rapper. But just because someone is intelligent doesn't nessicarlly make you any better than anyone else. Tupac did more harm than good. Yeah, he made a song like changes. But for every changes song he made twenty ride on your enemies songs. He was part of the problem in helping the African American community, not the solution.

[shadysecret]

R.I.P Tupac.

Man if Pac was alive, I woulda never looked at Eminem the same as now.

I feel he and Em are the only real genuinely respected rappers for their own work.

Tupac's a legend. R.I.P 2pac, proof, big L, biggie

You have to realize that by growing up in poverty, you have a lot less opportunities offered to you than someone who grew up in a proper middle-class household. Most of the time you really have no choice but to resort to illegal acts such as selling drugs and robbing just to make ENDS MEET.

And believe me I am not by ANY means trying justify illegal acts such as those, I'm only trying to ask you to show some understanding for why those acts are usually committed.

The same can be said about Eminem because of his first 2 albums subject matter and themes, you can't blame the artists for writing these types of songs anymore than you can blame the PARENTS of the children being influenced by them. If parents became more active in participating in their children's lives and become proper role models then maybe people wouldn't be influenced to commit crimes by listening to a 2Pac or Eminem song.
