And I liked that he talked about REAL shit...wasn't always the same degrading talk about sex, drugs and money....he had depth to his music. He accomplished so much in a short amount of time, there's no denying that. His music was ahead of that time, that's why you can still liaten to it now and it sounds new. Tupac is definitely in my top 5.

@@ashleyelizabeth6435 Nas and Biggie did more skillful, deep street shit compared to Pac in the same window of time. Pac was good but it's events that took place outside of the studio that really raised his status He's not the only rapper with timeless classics which to speak of that have passed on. People like you seem to put him on a pedestal and I just don't understand why. Perhaps you could explain to me.

He's a technically flawed rapper. There's a difference between "entertainer" than "rapper".

[@ETphonehome89]

10.J Cole- conscious rap in modern day 9.Andre 3000-versatility in dynamics with conscious modern rap 8.Nas-conscious rap and one of the pioneers with a legacy 7.Drake-musicality along with conscious with cross over appeal 6.Biggie- One of the Pioneers of lyrical word play 5.Lil Wayne-lyrical word play and one of the first rappers with cross over appeal 4.Jay Z-Conscious rap with cross over appeal and longevity 3. PAC- Poetic delivery with various content. He also had a huge catalog with such short time. 2. 👑 Nicki Minaj-I know a lot are gonna read this and wonder why she’s listed so high. Nicki has the ability to jump on almost any track of any genre and can ride the beat. Crazy lyrical word play with multiple entendres with the ability to switch dynamics a few times within 1 track. Quite skilled at delivering a verse to any song. Gives personality to her verses with cross over appeal. She doesn’t get much credit for her skill because she’s a female but she honestly competes with the males. 1. 👑 Eminem- He has a way of giving his verses personality. Can deliver with killer speed & execution. He has multiple dynamics with some word and let’s not forget his longevity.
