Some folks here, don't know what rap is. Tupac Shakur was the begining of Modern rap. His only competition was Bad Boy(Puff Daddy and his crew) and Biggie smalls. Before Tupac's style of rapping, it was all old school(NWA and shit), Tupac created the Rap that we know today. Else we would still be listening to RUN DMC, NWA style rap. Fitey Cent isn't a Tupac. The greatest rappers ever are Tupac, Biggie smalls, Dr Dre and The Game. Good rap isn't speed or skill, it's a combination of both. Fitey cent is close, but isn't at that level. Bones Thugz n harmony, have got speed but there's no soul in their music, the Same goes for Twista, Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, Jadkiss etc. Tupac is to Rap as George washington is to the states. Listen to Dr Dre, Pac and Game and you'll understand.

Drake is one great rapper who got game and gave another dimension how rap should be

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

Tupac was too promising for the choices he made.

His hot headedness, passion and choice of association pushed him to make irrational decisions that not only took his life but Biggie's too.

Pac started out richer than the rappers i mentioned but look at how his absence has favoured them.
