Eminem is the greatest. He's the only Rap Artist to really bring back the awards that Rap deserves. All his songs have meaning about his own life. 2Pac is the 2nd greatest, while third doesnt even come close to those two
@IcyOwens look you just ridicule. ı dont respect him as he exploits people's values to become famous and there is a mtv support behind him plus he is not intellegent as 2pac actually he is fake ı mean he insults his mom to money to get female and to fame and some masonic illumunita organization support this bastard.
@IcyOwens I'm what you would consider a "Stan" because I'm a hardcore Eminem fan. But 2Pac's content is still better. Eminem only talks about HIS personal life. 2Pac talked about social problems, and life in general. Although Eminem is my favorite, I will be the first Eminem fan to tell you, Eminem might have the sharpest rhymes and rhyme schemes, but 2Pac beats him at everything else.
my greatest rappers ever i tried to fair as possible and my personal view 1.pac 2.biggie 3.eazy e 4.nas 5.big l 6.big pun 7.rakim 8.krs one 9.big daddy kane 10,eminem 11.ice cube 12.jay z 13.snoop dogg 14.nate dogg 15. busta rhymes 16. lupe 17. the game 18. ti 19. dr dre 20. j cole and last 100 are the other shit rappers we have now
unlike others i don't care how much he sold... record sales don't equal talent especially not now when you got dudes like Immortal Technique and hundreds of others in the underground... nevertheless Tupac was that MC... the heart, passion, realness and the fact that he knew that speaking out against the government and the elites would get him killed make him one of the greatest revolutionaries of all time....no question
what? lil wayne is FAKE..what he knows about ghettos,drugs..and thug life? nothin' he acts hardcore as his manager said him in order to take money...Those guys back in 90s (tupac,biggie,etc) were pure hardcore...don't speak about rap when you know shit about old school..
@zephirothroyal what the fuck are you talkin about you retarded cunt. i never said lil wayne was real did i? NOO wtf? is wrong with you learn how to read. i said that u guys say lil wayne is overrated but tupac is getting all this fuckin dickriders after he dissapeared. but when he was first coming out not many people liked him and most people didnt even listen to his music. and thats fact. fuckin fake ass fans
@SmokezZ908 Well saying wat Zephiroth should of said, YESS wen 2pac first came out he was an average rapper, but due to him gettin much better, more ppl listened to him, from 2pacalypse to now, all ppl know 2pac... Hes not overrated, hes jus as they say he is, one of the legends, ALL RAPPERS AND PPL A LIKE RESPECT 2PAC dude, you dont become one of the greatest rappers of all time jus by dying O.o, if 5o cent dies now u think hes gonna be named one of the greats? I DONT THINK SO
@SmokezZ908 Well saying wat Zephiroth should of said, YESS wen 2pac first came out he was jus an average rapper, but due to him gettin much better, more ppl listened to him, from 2pacalypse to now, all ppl know 2pac... Hes not overrated, hes jus as they say he is, one of the legends, ALL RAPPERS AND PPL A LIKE RESPECT 2PAC
dude, you dont become one of the greatest rappers of all time jus by dying O.o, if 5o cent disappears now u think hes gonna be named one of the greats? I DONT THINK SO
@Babuchet When 2Pac first came out he was dope as fuck lyrically, actually. Listen to Let Knowledge Drop, very Rakim-esque. He later dumbed down his style though when he started doing the "thug life, wesssssssstsiiiiiiide" shit.
he died near the same time Dante Alighieri did. And they were both geminis. And died in mid september. Twins. I started reading philosophy because of tupac.
nones better from tupac better lyrically!!!!!! WAKE UP !
if someone was better than him we would be only at a style like hardcore! noone was activist poet greater rapper actor like him wake up! people like him are 1 in 1.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 :D peace brothers but i cant see someone disrespecting someone so important!
All three are in my list of top 5 favorite rappers (Tupac is my favorite). I agree with you that those guys are better than him lyrically, but I think Pac deserves more credit than he gets.
i respect that. But i think he gets waaaayyyy to much credit. For people to consider him the greatest. I respect what he did but to say he is better than Rakim thats mad funny. These young cats dont know anything about Rakim
remember 2pac was killed at only 25. So if u compare him so anyone you have to judge them at 25 or before. Pac is the King and greatest but if he had lived it wouldn't even be a question cuz he would be blowing niggaz out the water with his skill and vocab.
Music that everyone can relate too, the thing with Pac is he says it from his heart and how it is, none of this fake shit these days and people claiming they are the best.
Pac never once said he was the best because he knew how it was. He sold 5 million in 8 weeks. Enough said.
The best and most influential rapper ever. No one compares.
There are people that don't even like rap/hip-hop that listen to 2Pac. Dunno if he's the greatest, but you can't say that about many rappers. You can about Pac, though.
i know forreal they dont know wat the fuck theyre talking about i think tupac didnt have the best flow even though its better then any flow out there today but his lyrics and the messages he expressed were just amazing and real real deep man
Listen to Eminem Till i collapse,his verse on Drake's Forever,his verse on Renegade,Big Pun You Aint A Killer,Big Pun Twins(Deep Cover) and u will see what i mean by lyrical
Everything I've heard Eminem do can be written and performed by a moderately talented, drunk 15 year old. You are free to define "lyrical" as you wish and like any rapper you wish. I just don't think Eminem has any talent and I certainly don't respect him.
Brendas got a baby but Brendas barely got a brain,damn shame the girl can hardly spell her name,thats not our problem thats up to Brendas family,let me show u how that affects our whole community. This isnt great lyrically this shit is simple lyrics. Its a great song but your mistaken lyricaly nice with poetry. Try listening to Eminem Till i collapse and Big Pun You aint A killer. That shit is lyrically nice
It all comes down to what your opinion on what makes a great lyricist great. To me, songs like Keep Ya Head Up and Brenda's Gotta Baby are GREAT songs lyrically.
I agree that Pac could be put in the same class as Bob Dylan, but not Biggie. Sure, Pac rapped about violent things that didn't make him look like an angel or anything, but Biggie was rapping about fucking kids in the ass and throwing them over a bridge. Come on now, those kinds of things aren't very Dylan-esque.
i would say tupac possibly did more for hip hop than any other mc. but the whole list was a fuckin joke, and no one should take it seriously. the list was made by a bunch of teenaged viewers who voted at mtv's website, and who havent lived long enough to know shit about why one mc is more artistically superior than another. krs one at 15? chuck d at 22? no big L? and of all wu tang mc's, they choose method man?
they should replace the word "greatest" with "most well known" mc's
If Big L, BIG n PAC were alive...... there would not be any Lil gayne and soulja boy fag (dont comparing that shit to hiphop) but that garbage killin hiphop.
one thing that pisses me off everytime the talk about pac big name always thrown in there smh

I don't blame you; rapper's are often considered much smarter, more talented, etc. than they actually are.
