20 Years ago the GOAT died

[Turfaholic]

There's only 1 GOAT

When 2Pac died the title was given to him immediately. People who were still hungover on the East Vs West feud tried to give it to Biggie, but his catalog wasn't lengthy enough. That's why even Jay- Z has surpassed Biggie. I give Nas top 5, but 2Pac will always be numero uno.

Pac cared for his people. As a black man in America who grew up in the struggle when you hear Pac spit you relate to that shit. if you was from Brooklyn,St louis,Oakland,Miami,Bmore where ever you relate to that shit. There was many songs Pac i played during those dark days,good days,days when shit got real.

Pac comes in at the 1:35 mark, but Spice went in on this song too............

I still have this shit in the house the whole CD

Tupac was more than a coast, yes I'm a New Yorker but I'm a black man first and foremost. And I can relate to it. His music and speeches was for us no matter where you were from. East west, the south whatever. unless you a coon or some shit, You can relate to songs such as violent, dear mama, trapped, keep your head up, white man's world, this ain't livin, holla if you hear me,,amerikkka eats it's young, etc, his whole shit in general.

What I love most about pac is what alot of the others don't And criticize him for and call him a hypocrite but I call it balance and being true. And I think that helps his discography where as he'll have that black power song (holla if you hear me, souljas story, words of wisdom), club tracks( most of aeom basically), and even street tracks(no more pain, military minds, etc)..... No matter mood I'm in pac got songs for it, which is why guess l he's my GOAT.....

and yes I'm too young to remember him when he was alive. I became a fanatic in 03 when resurrection came out and my boy gave me the soundtrack honestly but that's what makes him great. His shit is TIMELESS. Even me that was in daycare when he died can still feel his shit now that I'm a grown man.

These probably been posted by now...but here go my two favorite Pac guest appearances..



"Nigga you black, so smile for me now. You ain't got nothing to be worried about."

Females wonder why they call you BITCH


Anybody could get it and he was naming names back then no subs.


"niggas bussin shots like they lost their mind,like 25 to life never cross their minds"

"Niggaz talk alot of shit, but that's after i'm gone cause they fear me in physical form better be known i'm troublesome

[its....JOHN B]

Of any 90s rapper I'd say Pac had THE BEST ear for beats easily

It's an appreciation thread not a debate thread but......No

Damn I thought yall meant Biggie

Nope

When BET was still reputable, they did Notorized 4. Top 50 artist of all time. Can't find the list anywhere. But I remember the Top 3.

3. Biggie

2. Jay- Z

1. 2Pac

That solidified for me.

I think Biggie was 4 and Rakim was 3

 

[Trillfate]

I think Biggie was 4 and Rakim was 3

Nope I remember the Top 3 vividly. I was shocked as hell when they played Biggie in the 3rd spot. I was like "Who the fuck could be number 2?" 4, 5, and 6 was Rakim, Nas, & Snoop. I remember Snoop being number 6. I don't remember who ranked higher Nas or Rakim.

It was back in 2000/2001 era right? It was Nas 5, Biggie 4, Rakim 3, Jay 2, Pac 1

Looking for it I came across one of the best top 50's I've seen so far
