I been into hip hop since they used to call it funk music
I like watching those videos with people break dancing in those Adidas workout suits and the HUGE chrome beatboxes...looks fun.

rap has taken such a drastic turn within the past decade or so. Now its all about how much money someone has rather than the talent, if any, that the artist has...

I will argue that to death...he wasn't that good.

Popular and he had skillz but their are many that were better and had more relevant things to say.

Why is it society immediately makes an artist a Megastar the moment they die. Tupac was second rate. He made a ton of money but he was stupid enough to roll with Shug (they should make an episode of Oz about me) Knight. And now what his own mother is pimping his dead corpse in the form of the movie.
TUPAC SUCKS

i personally liked his music since he released his 2pacolypse now album

i think most people like him because he was a real thug, unlike a lot of rap artists. hes been in prison, hes been shot, he had a rough childhood, his father is in prison for life pretty much etc. and the fact that he is now dead adds to the image. just like Kurt Kobain. i didn't even know who he was until he died. he sucks anyways
