Top 5 MCs...(contd)
If Nas is Da Vinci....Simply put Pac is the Michelangelo of HipHop for me. Hands down Pac was the quaint essential MC for me. He had it all; Crazy storytelling, a poetic flow, the lyrical prowess and still conscious. He could keep the club rockin all nite or the poets writing. Great perfromances and stage presence as well as on the Big Screen where he (as crazy as it sounds) had an even more promising career. That will never be duplicated again in rap. And whats crazy is all of the quality material he put out between 1991 and well....now. I wonder if people realized that the verse that was put on the Keyshia Cole single "Play Your Cards Right" is probably over 13 years old and its still ROCK!!! Pac was the fighter for our culture, the poet, the actor, the philosopher and REPRESENTATIVE of THUG LIFE. Need i even mention the sales, the following, the albums: Strictly 4 My Niggaz, All Eyez on ME (1st Double CD Album in HipHop), Me Against the World, and Makaveli. The Beef wit BIG, being shot 5 times and surviving to put out a Classic Album. What more can i say about 2pac Shakur??? Son of a Black Panther, nephew of Assatta Shakur, arguably the GOAT... PERIOD.
