I've been going through the 2Pac discog. and going from

I lik 2pack

and I didn't even go through any Thug Life shit. Is that mandatory? I've been digging the first two albums quite a bit. Surprised at how strong he started. Trapped and Dont Give a Fuck is crazy

doesn't mean he wasn't good

>>72430928
His rapping completely makes up for the shitty production. That's a rare quality

>>72430939
He was, but he's like generic 90's gangsta, i don't understand why he seem like some kinda messiah

>>72430928
that's always going to happen with anyone that is wildly popular

if you honestly feel the need to say this you're just dull

>>72430956
It's surprisingly more technical than I expected (at least on early projects. Dude has bars) but I really think it shines when it comes to the execution. I mean he's a character. He makes you believe what he's saying.

It's more understandable after listening to him why he's basically his own religion at this point

>>72430956
If he couldn't hire decent producers that's a big problem.

Hell has he ever had good producers? I mean he worked with Dre a couple times but that's about it.

>>72430968
Pac isn't just generic 90s gangsta idiot, he's like the prototype for the Kendricks, Blus, Fashawns, etc today

>generic

name 10 rappers who are as authentic and spiritual. Should be easy if he's generic right?

>>72430990
He's had consistent production throughout his time period, what are you on. what albums did you listen to?

>>72430956
>shitty production
>he doesn't like producers such as Daz Dillinger and Johnny J

2pac had a lot of great beats

Do for Love is a perfect example

>>72430956
>shit production

I beat you shit on public enemy you fucking nuanon faggot

>>72430998
No, he's str8 ballin, keep it 4 real, crying over dead homiez, and want everyone stop being racist while he fucking bitches and killing peoples. It's N.W.A all over again

Me Against The World > All Eyez On Me

>>72431053
You named like several dimensions to his lyrical content alone, that's not generic 90s Gangsta Rap. Do you actually listen to 90s Gangsta Rap?

He's not just rehashing NWA at all.

You're just baiting though so it's a waste of my time to actually elucidate, carry on I guess.

>>72431104
>no it's not
>no it's not
Wow, great arguments

>>72431095
agreed

Also the kid was a BEAST when it came to poetic justice and his other movies. His interviews are very intriguing considering he didnt make it past 25

Maybe its just because I grew up with it, but im glad kendrick pushed his legacy forth to millions of kids with tpab

>>72431127
lol "no argument" meme

definitely baiting

>>72431095
Me Against the World is a fucking classic with context. Without it it's easy to write off.

That goes for a lot of his work actually. I think people choose Biggie over 2Pac just because it's easier to listen to. Biggie flows. 2Pac demands attention and context.

This interview comes to mind

You are paranoid. Take some pils

I'm a huge hip-hop fan and none of Pac's albums are anything special except maybe the Makiaveli one. He's pretty typical 90s gangsta rap, he was just in the right place at the right time. He's far from being peaceful and meaningful like everyone claims, too.

>first album
>brenda has a baby

How did he do it

>>72431193
>gives up on baiting because the jig is up

I'e never listened to any

got it on now, it's very smooth. Not musically that interesting but good for doing homework to or driving .
he comes across as charismatic, which is the most important thing in rap what with there not being any actuakl msuci
