Well then the entire record label industry should be sued LMAO because you can pick 600 hit songs in the same key, same chords, same progression, that are purposely formulated for the consumers ear!!! That is a known fact

Tupac os the biggest icon in the history of rap.He's the only one who can enter that exclusive pantheon of musical unicorn legends with artist like Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, Elvis etc..etc.To ask if he's a legend comes off tone deaf & highly insulting.He was beyond a rap "lyricist".The man was simply one of the greatest song writers in modern music history.There's a difference.

I don’t like it when people disrespect PACs legacy,overrated are you fucking kidding me.

Watching this review in 2024 and it’s funny how y’all talked about how they should do a Michael Jackson movie the right way and now there’s actually going to be an MJ movie that checks all the boxes

Hella overrated!

She was a legend in the making

2Pac was basic but he knew how to get a certain audience. Many of 2Pac’s biggest fans were women. They didn’t like him for his lyrics but rather his image. I believe many men say 2Pac is their goat for the sake of women giving them any play sexually.

Who ever said Alicia Keys can't sing must be deaf

She never used all her vocals in a song Aaliyah

Monica can sing better than Brandy

At the time period she was on her way Aaliyah

Aaliyah is a legend you can play her music all day every day and you love it years later.

Her dancing was spectacular and Ashanti is a copycat of Aaliyah she copied alot of Aaliyah videos

She created most her own moves

Tyra is an Aaliyah hater.

Better performance and all Aaliyah

Aaliyah is and always will be better than Beyonce

This list is trash. Nicki is the best.

He dedicated and named this album after his daughter who name is Royalty.

He is the whole top 10,is it even a debate! He lived and went out like a G!! And still can’t be touched 👊🏾

What metaphors did you hear 👂 in Biggies songs?

Tupac is better than everyone ya’ll compare him to and they know it as well.

M.I.A. Newest album is amazing. You should listen to the whole album. M.I.A. Is tremendous. She has important messages in her songs, videos, and albums. No one can match the meaning in her songs and the statement and impact her messages have on society. She should have so many more hits, even from her newest album. It seems like she is being blocked some, because she has messages in her songs. She tours and is successful, without bowing down to idiots. She is multitalented. She raps, she sings, she writes a lot of her songs, she has great videos, and she looks good. If she not on the list, it’s not a real list.

Tupac is the most influential and iconic rapper ever. Actually scratch that, he’s one of the most iconic and important musicians of the ENTIRE 20th Century. This shouldn’t even be a discussion. Anyone saying Pac isn’t lyrical is tone deaf. They’re literally teaching COLLEGE COURSES on this man’s lyrics. Tupac is a legend, this isnt even up for debate.

Wya???

2pac #1 without a doubt he’s music will live on.Respect the Goat

i disagree roxanne shante if u talking battling shante would rip the floor with all of them.she is the only female rapper who gave krs one a run for his money and krs one is the g.o.a.t you ask TG venom whos on youtube he says nicki minaj, cardi b, are shit.

Excellent arguments! The jury needed you on their team!

Mariah all the way she has way more hit records and a overall better career than Whitney it’s not even close in my opinion

The dude with the glasses had mc lyte at number 10 and didn’t have big daddy cane at all one of best lyricists of all time

Tupac is the greatest rapper ever but he’s not the greatest lyricist rapper pac meant more to black culture than any other rapper in history also pac shooting the white cops in defense of a black man and throwing up the middle finger at the cameras after getting shot at quad studios made Tupac a folk hero to my generation of young black peoples growing up in the 90’s after that he just seemed more real and authentic to any other rapper and people miss that those incidents greatly enhanced him in American black culture and in turn enhanced him worldwide also

You gotta understand this. During 1995 and 1996, 2Pac was the #1 Rapper in the Country. He died on top.

Pac is overrated and I do like his music

1. NAS 2. JAY-Z 3. BIGGIE 4. LIL WAYNE 5. EMINEM 6. FABOLOUS 7. JADAKISS 8. KENDRICK LAMAR 9. J. COLE 10. DRAKE/KANYE (GREAT ARTIST BUT QUESTIONABLE PEN)

Ashanti has a better music catalog and I don’t consider her a legend either

To me Aaliyah ‘s main audience was the young black peoples like me that were coming up in the 1990’s but musically I don’t consider her music as legendary as the Mariah Carey Mary j bridge Toni Braxton Whitney Houston and legends like these or Beyoncé she wasn’t on their level but she had some classic songs that everybody is familiar with as far as black peoples are concerned

I had the biggest crush on Aaliyah in my high school teenage years in high school in the 1990’s in a era where the tomboy look was in vogue for black r&b and hip hop females Aaliyah had a sexy classy look that is timeless until this day

jesus, so 2pac has won this bout huh, you be saying next that the west coast hip hop is better than the east coast.and you said how many m,cs from the 90s who are better than 2pac i can anwser that, all the members from the wu tan clan.

Not even a debate

Nas copied 2pac God Son across the belly

My top 3 are by far are ---- #1 Gangsta Boo , #2 LaChat , #3 Remy Ma.

Lauryn hill has the greatest album a female rapper has ever made but I consider the miseducation album a top 10 hip hop album including male rappers also it’s one of the best albums of any genre of music I’ve ever heard I used to play it all the time on my cassette player back in the day but as an artist she doesn’t have enough albums solo to be the greatest female rapper or ever top 5 in my opinion

july 2001 she was clearly a legend in the making

This literally turned into the shady show. Ralph could definitely sing Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis gave him his props on the Arsenio Hall show. it's on KZbin second Bobby Brown can definitely sing Listen to his records third Rickey definitely can sang as well listen to the records Johnny can definitely blow last Ronnie can hold a note he is better as a harmonize artist. Michael Bivins is the only one that can't sing to save his life.

Tupac wasn’t the greatest lyricist but he had the greatest content of any rapper that I’ve ever heard and no other rapper comes close

Word Up!! Stephon was right on point, hip-hop is homophobic because hip-hop is misogynistic!! The hyper-masculine culture that was born in the ghetto streets is undoubtably going to be anti-homosexual, you cannot be perceived as "Gay" or "soft" in the streets, so of course hip-hop mirrored that mindstate.

Yo, great video, we are covering the same topic on our next episode of our podcast!! definitely respect anyone furthering the culture of hip-hop

Where do y’all have guys like elzhi or jay electronica??

Anyone who question Michael's vocal ability as a singer, is just crazy.
