If someone asks who is the greatest rapper in the world? 2Pac is undoubtedly the rap god of hip-hop, not only because his rap skills are really second to none, his real greatness is thought.
The early 2Pac became popular with songs about love, women, and other genres. It wasn't until he was shot 6 times and didn't die, and then after a few years in jail for rape, that his style changed to a fierce and tough street hardcore style, and also led to the gangster rap trend represented by him.
Late in his career, 2Pac was embroiled in a hip-hop confrontation on the East and West Coasts. On September 7, 1996, Tupac was shot four times in a car in Las Vegas, taken to the University of Southern Nevada Medical Center, and died of respiratory and heart failure six days later.
2Pac is just a gangster rapper for some, and for others, he's the best guy in the rap world. For many more, he is an endless source of knowledge, and although his life is short, it has left many people with lyrics that guide and enlighten life.
Mainstreamers accuse 2Pac of being full of discord and darkness in his lyrics, but in fact, 2Pac just discovers these truths and lays them out truthfully. It wasn't 2Pac who created these shades, he just exposed them.
Unlike many Hiphop singers who dare not fight against the mainstream rap circle, 2Pac not only positions itself as a rap musician who entertains the public, but also extends its perspective to the entire social event, which also causes his lyrics to often cause panic in the crowd because they are too real. That's why 2Pac has become and will always be an idol in the Hiphop music scene, and it's also why it's hard for another Hiphop artist to achieve such an impact.
If he hadn't been murdered, the fat man on the east bank wouldn't have died, Jay-z might still be the day when the little brother didn't emerge, Nas would have gained a higher status, mobb deep wouldn't have fallen to China to perform business, Dr. Dre's Aftermath company would have such a big achievement today, and even Whether T.I could be famous or not.
If he hadn't died, he wouldn't have been able to seal the gods he has today, I don't know, but he will definitely have a stronger dominance. The greatness of 2pac is not only that it leads the trend or something, but more importantly, he is an endless source of knowledge, and although his life is short, it has left many people with lyrics that guide and enlighten life.
