I've been wanting to make this post for a while now...I'll do one on The Notorious B.I.G. later.
This round of My Thoughts is dedicated to the one and only 2pac. I'm gonna give u my point of view with a a topic as i do so well on the My Thoughts series.
I was just a kid when Pac was shot....about 8 to be exact. I wasnt that into rap back then, but in 1999 i was a huge fan of the song Changes. Little did I know that was just one of Pac's great song catalogue. Of course I liked California Love (original version). So my point is I wasn't a huge Pac fan till well a few years ago.
Pac is rap's most versatile rapper, with only Jay-z and Kanye West being even close (IMO). He made rap's most viscous diss record, Hit Em Up. He made some really great introspective songs too like Dear Mama. He could also story tell with the best of them. Of course theres the songs for the ladies, and the club bangers too.
Pac's standout albums are Me Against the World and All Eyez on Me. The others arent bad....but not quite classics. The posthumous albums are decent. Its hard to believe Pac made that many songs. He did, he's not still alive...if he were still alive he'd be disgusted with the overall state of hip hop today, but thats a topic for another time.
I really feel he was the complete rapper, and its a damn shame he was gunned down at such a young age.
