Wow. That's probably the dumbest thing I ever heard. Okay, it's not, but it's a close third.
Just because I'm white, I can't connect to the hardships 'Pac addressed in his songs?
Right. Because white people are never screwed by the system, and white people aren't poor and don't live in the ghetto.
Well, let me just tell you that I'm not white. I'm Mexican, and.... I live in south central. Trust me, Tupac is a God around here. Which is precisely why I think he's over rated. He wasn't the only rapper that was talking about the subjects he addressed, he was just the guy people payed attention to. What's also funny to me, is that people never talked about him being a great lyricist until he died. lol. Pac was a lot of great things, but a great lyrical MC he wasn't in my opinion. He knew how to convey emotion, he knew how to be effective and he knew how to pimp his image. I'm not saying he's bad or anything. He's top ten. But he's just not that impressive lyrically.
Mike Shinoda can rap circles around pretty much all rappers out right now.
