The poster asked a very gud question and y'all are here beefing him, the truth is that tupac was a bit overrted because death makes you bigger,he's my favourite though but lyrically nas is better than pac till christ comes back,biggie had punch lines more than pac but 2pac is this big because he was on top of the game when he died just like dagrin was,come to think of it when pac was alive many of y'all didnt know him

Thank you my brother. Finally, SOMEONE WITH A BRAIN!. I'm not trying 2 discredit 2pac in any way, he is still BY FAR one of my favourite rappers of all time. I simply asked a question, and asked for PUBLIC OPINION, just d same way a JOURNALIST would. Then people started talking RUBBISH. That's why they keep failing JAMB and WAEC. They don't read the question PROPERLY before giving an answer. I was simply seeking d opinion of everyone on in d issue of WHETHER OR NOT 2PAC IS OVERRATED, simple English language! Pity!

shadrach77:

aren't you biased? i made the same observation this guy made in my earlier post and you had nothing to say about it and someone repeats what i said then you go, 'someone with brain'. Tupac is slightly overrrated because of his death. Personally, i never knew him until after his death. Same goes for Dagrin. Like i stated above, i believe Dharsaw, Olamide are better than Dagrin. T[b]he only thing Tupac has which other rappers do not have  (with the exception of DMX and 50 cent) is his voice.[/b] A gangster rapper needs to have a slightly rough, street voice and other rappers, may have better lyrics but they don't have the same kind of voice 

olashas:

I find it shocking that any1 can compare 2pac with rappers like JayZ. Unlike other rappers who rap about getting money,women and drugs, 2pac dedicated most of his lyrics to the problems faced by blacks in the early 90's. That is why u would feel the passion,emotions and pain that flow from his lyrics. @ op, get ur shitz together b4 u jump to bleeping conclusions.

Make i hear word! Jay-Z is one of d greatest ever, and also d most consistent rapper of all time, take it or leave it. Go listen 2 THE BLUEPRINT & be educated. That's a 5 mic classic.

Anyone who thinks Pac is over-rated is clearly not a hip-hop fan.
Anyone who goes ahead to try to justify that position needs mental help.

baslone:

That's an insult!!!

What's the big deal about a 5 mic ? Bun B, TCQ, Dela soul, EPMD, Mobb Deep,
Scarface, Fugees and lots of rappers hold 5mic! Me against the world and All eyez on
me are also 5mic classics.

Is he lyrically better than mosdef, Cassidy, Eminem, Raekwon, Rakim and a lot more rappers

So what? abegggii!!!!

StarBoard:

You obviously don't know your hip-hop very well.
Jay-Z's finest work artistically till date remains Reasonable Doubt from 96.Check your sources.Every hip-hop head knows Jay is recycling material/concepts from that very classic till this day,even on the said Blueprint, which in itself is also a very good album.But Reasonable Doubt is his finest work.
Look how inferior he sounds to Biggie on "I Love the Dough".
Jay-Z's longevity doesn't make him the greatest either.PAC was around for 5-6 years and shook up the genre.To me the only other people he was peers with we're Biggie and Nas.Nas destroyed Jay while they had their beef.Jay is just smart enough to remain relevant in the game today but G.O.A.T.?Not Jay-Z.

Now i know y'all aint real hiphop heads,the poster was right,pac is a bit over rated because of his death and he was ontop of the game when he died,even pac knew that rakim was better than him but the truth is that he had street credibility,attitude and he made hiphop more talked about by the life style he attached to it, but musically many were better than him then, be it in mind that who ever that dies must be over rated, my extented cousin mc-loph was in no position in 9ja music industry but imidiately he died the whole nation startd hearing about him and his song started banging in wazobia f.M which i remember when he had 2 plead with them till they play it once in a week,i met dagrin in festac, he wasnt all that big but when he died i was suprise to see that same dagrin bein paid homage by the whole nation even the eastern part of naija that didnt know him,ojukwu was big but bigger when he died,even when my elder sister died their lecturer said she was her best student(which i know she wasnt) so 2pac was one of the reallest mc's but he was over rated just because of his death,if he's still alive you and i would'nt have been givin him all this glory, but pac remain my best of all time but i gotta say the truth

mikuz:

@op,
you are on point abeg.
For me Lyricswise 2pac is not better than Nas or Eminem.
