died in 96, I was 11 and yes I knew who he was before. IMO Biggie was better lyrically. Let me guess y'all got "THUG LIFE' tattooed on your bodies?

Biggie is my favorite MC..but no one mentioned lyricism in this thread.Originally Posted by smoke ya later
nice gifs but um his reputation far exceeded his talent. Biggie was better lyrically.
music is debatable but influence is not. Tupac> BIG all dayOriginally Posted by smoke ya later

2Pac wasn't even good, his death just made him more popular.

You really have to go back and listen to some of the stuff Pac outside of the foolishness. I mean who could have guessed Jay-Z would go from street hustler to rubbing shoulders with Bill Gates and Kofi Anan. The man had Oprah in the projects and Obama on the text. And Jigga has had some of the most misogynistic rhymes and hardcore lyrics ever in rap music.Originally Posted by thenewjs23
What I never heard Malcolm or Martin dropping F-bombs to get their point across.
One of the most asinine, clueless statements I have EVER heard.
PLEASE........PLEASE tell me, how Tupac could've become greater than either of these men.
Wednesday's a little early to be drinking boys.
You don't understand it @fearthenut. MLK did virtually NOTHING for Africans (amerikan purposely left out because I don't believe in African-amerikans). MLK spoke out against the injustices, violence, racism, etc., but he relayed the wrong message.Originally Posted by fearthenut

Definitely, in terms of revolutionary impact he changed the game.
I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but what "game" are you speaking of? And how exactly did he change this "game"?
MLK's influence resulted in mass societal change for African-Americans, and helped reshape our country. How in the hell does Tupac match up to this man? Even in the same realm? He doesn't.
Tupac's the same guy who issued death threats and glorified the street life, as well as gang violence. And we're supposed to put him in the same group as MLK and Malcolm?
People are reachin' in here.
So what was Pac's message exactly?Originally Posted by cartune
Pac influenced more young black men in his life and death than Malcolm & Martin...unfortunate truth
had he remained focused with his message he would have probably lived longer (or maybe not) and made an even bigger impact

Dude is straight bipolar. One minute he's talking about "Hit Em Up" and the next he's talking about "Changes." For every positive lyric Pac spit, he spit 10 lines of straight venom. And I'm a Pac fan.
