@poster and all I got 12 words for you: Dead or alive I don't care but; Tupac can never be over-rated!!!! Methinks he's even under-rated!!!! @dblock I listened to that Nigga and I'm like, That's wack. Nas is along the lines of Kanye West and Lupie Fiasco. He's good but He's no legend. Eminem is better and that's a Fact. And you can't even mention the Game and Nas in the same sentence. Are you alright Please go back to your doctor and complete your treatment. I don't even know what part of that post of yours sounds the silliest. Man, that's the dumbest thing I've heard in ages. 1 Like |

2pac is not really overrated. . . . . .That Nigga hurled lyrics. . . . . Funny enough, my favourite 2pac's album is 7 day theory(Makaveli) and Still I Rise. . . . . If u want it raw, hardcore and raw anger. . . .One can't go wrong with those albums. Nigga was defly superior. . . . |

Still i Rise that Song was classic even his Outlaw pals sounded good on it. Pac was good though one of my favorite lines of his was H.to da.O.to da.M.to da.I.to da.E i am down till the E.N.D |

@A-40, Bamsyle and Sauron Y'all should try to see what the OP was talking about He pointed out that the whole 'Street' image Tupac gave us was exaggerated in his death Yeah, Pac was rolling wiv the realest gangster we'll prolly ever hear of, but you have to remember that this bruv went to school while Biggie was hustling Tupac made it appear like he was sum badman before he came into music, when it's obviously the opposite That's what's over-rated, not his talent. He's prolly the greatest rapper that ever walked on this soil, but he wasn't close to the Godfather image he gave us You call sumone fake and the next thing everyone goes 'Pac's the realest' when this dude's first offence was jaywalking mr me too:Remove your Against All Odds-tinted-spectacles and read what this dude wrote |
Re: 2pac: A Perfect Example of Hiphop's Exaggerated Gangsterism?? by A40(m): 12:26pm On Nov 01, 2008 |
@eldee I was not referring to his gangsta repertoire or whatever i was simply referring to his rap besides who doesn't know that these rappers do more shootings with their mouths than their hands |
Re: 2pac: A Perfect Example of Hiphop's Exaggerated Gangsterism?? by eldee(m): 1:04pm On Nov 01, 2008 |
A-40:That's exactly what the original poster was talking about The fact that sum people still see Pac as the embodiment of 'ghetto life' is amazing |

Fact is the whole gangster, thuglife thing with Tupac was not real, it was just business simple. Given that he was still young when he died, I think it was just a passing phase. |

well dnt know much to talk about but what i can say is i[b] think 2pac is missunderstood![/b] he might be blahblah, but them badman comes on different form, i guess, he made it clear, im not a murder, i dnt wana commit murder, i think hes a soildier, remember this tune-my definition of a thug nigger so poster get ur head straight he is a true soldier, and i think it takes a lot of courage to say what he said and even being on his shoes i think |

tupac was ill man! d realest of da illest no doubt, but sometimes, i cant help but ask if truly he wasnt overrated. the world seems to react to sorrow related issues when it comes to hiphop.u doubt me? listen to bonethugs crossroads original version, no death, normal track. but the dj uneek remix that was done after eazy e died was no1 on charts for months!!!!!!!!. lostboyz -the LB4 life album sold more than anticipated because freaky tahrik died just b4 its release. 50 cent? who would have imagined that he would blow up? but no, the guy declined in making sense, started making dumb tracks and mixed it up with being shot, what do we get? superstar! even tuface used it. relevance? ask yourself if tupac would have had this much importance is he had been alive, i honestly doubt it.his best track dear mama was based on sentiments and even at that was released when he was alive.dont get me wrong peeps, tupac remains tha illest but he's not what people see him to be |

eldee: Not a chance!!! He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Pac was a poet. . . . .He stayed in school while growing up to learn poems. I had more trouble as teenager than 2pac. His whole THUG LIFE rubbish blew out after he became a celebrity. |
Re: 2pac: A Perfect Example of Hiphop's Exaggerated Gangsterism?? by A40(m): 9:50pm On Nov 02, 2008 |
He was the closest thing to a gangster he lived what he rapped unlike most people that where in the game |
Re: 2pac: A Perfect Example of Hiphop's Exaggerated Gangsterism?? by chiogo(f): 10:30pm On Nov 02, 2008 |
Whether he was gangsta or not ain't my concern. But for someone whose mother was pregnant with him while in jail, he sure is a gangsta to me. And the craziest thing about him is that he talked about his death in many of his songs; it's like he knew he was going to die. Now, that's what I call a G! |

Na gangster we go chop? What's so cool about getting raped in jail? With all this love you have for gangsters I'm sure you would hate to be impregnated by one. |

See how my man has been dead for 13 years yet his name wont stop coming out your fat lips lol. When you say the GOAT, it should mean greatest overall, with that in mind i would say that as far as hip hop is concerned, Pac has had the most impact so he deserves that crown. |

How the Hell was Tupac not 'Thug Life'? He was in jail before he was even born, he grew up in poverty with the police harassing his family. He grew up in ghettos, he was sent to the school of preforming arts because he was going to be EXPELLED from the school he was at and be just another black kid f***&d by the system. He hung about with drug dealers and they respected him that much that he didn't even have to sell drugs to hang with them where if he was a punk they would have bullied him. His mom was a crack head and he was still resiliant enough to still make a success of himself. He was homeless for two years. He was harrassed by the police that much his first offence was jaywalking. He was shot 5 times THE FIRST TIME HE WAS SHOT. He was shot to death. He was a member of the bloods and he wrote the code to thug life. He tried to broker a peace between the Bloods and the Crips. You could not do that if no one respected you. If he was not a mean son of a beyatch none of that would have happened. That is not portraying a thug life, that is living a thug life. Plus he was shot to death. Even a punk would not be remembered as a punk if he was shot to death. And on his death bed he kept trying to get up and out of his bed so much that the doctors put him in an involuntary coma. You can't fake that toughness. Yes he did some things to play up to the media. The fact he was more agressive in his lyrics in his death row days was because he was only after spending nearly 2 years in jail. To survive in jail you need to be a mean mother f****r and he did! And in jail for something he claimed he didn't do. Of course he was going to be angry and because his lyrics come from the heart of course his lyrics are going to be thug life THAT IS WHAT LIFE HAD MADE HIM. Maybe he would have mellowed when he got older but he never got the chance because he died a gangsters death. He knew he was going to die because of his lifestyle and he chose to live it anyway. That is the most thug life thing someone can do and he done it. So stop talking bull saying he play acted as a thug. He lived as a thug and he died as a thug. RIP 2Pac + |

kellorah:that's one thing with music or life in general ,the impression you leave behind will stick no matter what,jut like dagrin too!!! but let's get something straight,2pac is one of hiphops greatest poet,although Wayne has proven to be a tough writer too,but PAC was all a category to himself,he was the only rapper that could portray a thousand message with just one track...I love him mheen |
Re: 2pac: A Perfect Example of Hiphop's Exaggerated Gangsterism?? by Abudu2000(m): 8:29am On Apr 09, 2016 |
RSAMAN:and what's wrong with the words?? nigga hope you are not seriously talking down on the game,the guy is one of hiphops most valuable player,but just like like other things in life,it takes luck to make it big but when you are good,good nigaz will acknowledge that too |
Re: 2pac: A Perfect Example of Hiphop's Exaggerated Gangsterism?? by Abudu2000(m): 8:30am On Apr 09, 2016 |

Now that I'm older, I look back and realize 2-pac was an immature f00l who could rap and had passion. Just look at the lives of those that survived the "Eastside vs Westside" beef he promoted...... most of them are now crazy successful, Doc Dre, Jay-Z and P-diddy aiming at a billion dollars, ice-cube now a Hollywood star etc While the fool 2-Pac stuck with, Suge Knight is in and out of jail till date..... those that stuck with him e.g. Kurrupt, Daz, Lady of Rage all went down with his fat butt. 1 Like |

You mrmetoo: Too bad I'm reading this late but I gotta say this,pac was idolized and in the process being overrated,he was painting a picture of the lifestyle Back then but he created an animation of himself instead,kDot and J.cole are the perfect hiphop artiste who is painting a clear picture for us now...pac will always remain great! |

opprea mrmetoo: Wtf..it is clear you have miniature knowledge about the subject matter.what is most annoying is you trying to educate the populace on shit you know nothing about.there is a whole load of information on net,interviews,liveshows,ebooks(free and sold) on any subject..do more of this before you think you can give a validation or air your views..he was actually beaten for jaywalking in 1991. He went on to file a $10 million dollar civil suit and later settled for 42k dollars..he came in contact with suge knight while incarcerated in prison in 1995..the term of the bail was been signed to death row which to my observations was a wrong move...it's even a sin to write rubbish about someone who has done more than anyone using his stage to preach black love,speak against police brutality,spoke on American people being divided thru identity,politics,and uniting for a common goal,he was a revolutionary through music,fight against racism,he represented the people who could not air their plight to the government..that why he literally turn to a monster and his rap change when he was shot the first time..because he felt the people he was representing were the one he wanted to kill him..one could argue that his entire approach and plan was too risky or flawed..that he went about it all the wrong way.he even died on someone terms but it would be hard for one not to see that he was fearless in the fight for black American life even at big risk.he cared for blacks in poverty and the oppressed people of America as a whole |

ba7man:The world didn't deserve 2pac. it's so unfortunate for someone who pushes himself into a vulnerable state in an attempt to change the world..you need to do more research and know that 2pac was already rich by 20..and all this rapper's you listed were not close to him money wise when he was alive |
