The greatest, most influential rapper in all time. He encouraged people to go for their dreams and didn't promote violence like many ignorant fools think. He did drama in high school and studied alot, he was smart but many racist assholes wouldn't agree because they think all rappers are idiots who can't speak or spell.. or sing. He was pressured on alot by the police and lived in the gutter for a year. He died at the age of 25 at 4:03pm with 2 bullets to the chest (he had taken 9 bullets in his lifetime).

Tupac Amaru Shakur is the best rapper killed in 1996 he is still on top!He recorded more than 2000 songs he was also taking part in some movies!

By far the best rapper of all time people think thats biggie and eminem are on the same level but neither of them were as smart as he was and shared the same views as he did. Eminem could only dream of getting the love from his fans that 2pac got from his fans i can relate to his music because i came from poverty like he did where i had to do things for money to survive and i share alot of the same views as he did and i can say that his music is the only thing that has stoped me from blowing my brains out many times he was by far the best rapper ever he was real he was a gangsta unlike rappers like dre eminem 50 cent how many of them went and shot cops after they become famouse cos 2 pac did he did jail he did it all and it disgusts me to hear eminem sing songs like{ toy soldiers} cos now all the rappers arwe just tryna be like 2pac and my message to them is wake the fuck up there will never be another 2pac in the rap world so stop trying cos theyre all a bunch of try hards and wannabes plain and simple. He sung about the real issues and they came from the heart examples of this are songs like changes, me against the world and to hear eminem say that he wont be killed because of his daughter what a load of crap does he honestly think that because he is dilusional if he does. i know people that hate rap that love 2pac for his songs like changes and me against the world

2Pac(his full name is Tupac Amaru Shakur) Tupac is arguably the most successful rap artist of all time if not one of the most successful music artist in history with over 75 million albums sold to date. Many people people have identified with retelling of tragedy, struggle, violence, death, poverty, racism, revolution, and overall the imperfections of society. He seemed to captivate millions with lyrics and poetry so believe to be so inspiring that few could compare. Unlike the popular and mostly ignorant thoughts projected by society, Tupac was very intelligent educated and at the age 17 had most likely read more books than the average first year Ivy league student. Many people wish to critize his works however usually have not read or tooken the time analyze some his greatest works. Tupac's short and climatic life is usually summerized and rarely deeply considered. He was an adovate for the entire poetic nature of a generation, however the violent aspect of his music is usually magnified and the poetic nature was understated. People only seen the drugs and ghettos and never the pain and deep emotion. Lesser rapper took Tupac's unique and very influnecial syle of rap and some tranformed it it into a chain of destructive and short lived rap careers that would come to shame all that Tupac represented. Tupac was trying to build a place of belonging for the misunderstood culture of THUG LIFE. Tupac is a symbol of good rap. Tupac accomplished very much in in his lifetime a...

tha greatest human beside jesus. killer MC, genius poet, and amazing actor. All u dib shits that desrespect, you better get ur damn ears checked

2pac waz the greatest rapper of all time and alwayz will be. Any stupid ass mother fucker who wants to rip on 2pac is fucked in the head. "GOD OF ROCK" you are a fucking fagget how bout you go and get a life rather then stayin on here and ripping on the best rapper of all time.

I'm not saying the best ever as some people who only know a little about rap would say. But 2pac was an alltime great who was very influential and contributed a lot of hard work with strong emotion. Ever since the digital underground days his rhymes had a lot of character in them and he stood out more than shock g and money b. His rap style is very poetical and he covers a lot of emotions of a troubled lifestyle. I believe he was better at the time of 'me against the world', but was still ok on deathrow, some might not agree, but I feel deathrow fueled his style more into 'gangsta without a cause' than his political and real heartfelt style that was a better influence to our troubled societies we live in. And as a result, the 'thug life' image deathrow helped to escalate even further, was also his downfall. It was a sad day back in sept 96 when I heard he had passed away. I just thought, damn what a loss!. And sadly even pac knew his day was coming soon because of his life situation at the time. The good thing is, while he was in prison he got to write a lot of rhymes and also just before and after he was out he was known to just write lyrics in a short time not a lot of others could match. Theres a few 100 songs he still has and will be released in time. Lets just hope that whiteboy eminem doesn't try and produce anymore of them to appeal to the others(if you know what i mean!). 2pac was a role model for our struggling youth in the heart of the citys, and i don't mean the...
