    i dont get how ppl could say Pac wasn’t lyrical. Maybe his wordplay wasn’t as witty as his peers, but his words carried so much power that it didn’t matter

    • @stefandesert
      @stefandesert ปีที่แล้ว +20

      Personally I always assume they're talking about the rap technical stuff and not really consider that power as part of the rap but more as part of the person. As in, even in interviews he's able to speak those words of power, it's not really the lyrics, it's him that's powerful..

    • @EricTheSwede
      @EricTheSwede ปีที่แล้ว +23

      People love to say "lyricism has to be intricate use of the language" but I feel more listening to Pac or Nipsey than I do listening to most lyrical miracle spiritual rappers..

    • @stefandesert
      @stefandesert ปีที่แล้ว +9

      @@EricTheSwede completely agree. Very different context but I think Lupe put it very well when he said all royce's hypothetical hypertechnichals are just used to come across as master in that track. Sounds smart but what's the purpose. That said, I also love to decipher what the hell is going on in a DOOM verse 😂

      People who say this think being lyrical is saying punchlines every other bar and that's it. Being lyrical also means your lyrics have meaning and a message and tell a story. By that definition Pac is one of the greatest lyrical rappers of all time

      It’s so difficult to put Pacs albums in a certain order for me because I grew up in the 80’s-90’s,born in 1977. But “Me against the World “is definitely in my top 3. “All eyes on me “,Makevelli album “ ,”R U Still down “ are all up there for me. Big is my favorite rapper ever but PAC is my favorite poet and cultural figure.

    This album captured what it’s sounds like when someone can feel the specter of death stalking their every waking moment. It’s a look at one’s fear.. and ultimately their acceptance of their fate. There’s no other album like it. IMO, it’s the greatest album ever made.

    I’m 45 years old and grew up in the 80’s-90’s and the music we had was first class. Especially the 90’s,music from every genre was amazing. From artists like Big(my favorite rapper),PAC,Nas,Eminem,Jay,Wu-Tang,Dre,Cube,Snoop,Eazy,NWA,Cypress Hill,Ice-T,Mobb Deep and the list goes on and on. From grunge/metal bands like Nirvana,Pearl Jam,Soundgarden,Sonicyouth,Alice in Chains,STP,Tool,Foo Fighters,Korn,Metallica,Megadeth,Slayer,Slipknot,Aerosmith (who had a huge comeback in the 90’s)Ozzy(Ozzfest)The Lalapalooza festival and so many other bands. Pop music and Country. I’m lucky that I was born in the late 70’s and grew up in the 80’s-90’s.
    I love these reaction channels and watching people hear Big,PAC,Nas,Tool,Soundgarden,Chris Cornell and all the great artists and bands of those eras.

    also Pac was heavily influenced by Scarface in terms of flow and delivery. It feels like you’re in a dark room with them whenever they rap. Scarface was more of a storyteller while Pac was more of a philosopher, although each drove in both lanes

    Excellent reaction bud. One of Tupacs best pieces of works. One lyric sticks with me and I probably needed to hear it today. If you can make it through the night there’s a better day. Also an excellent documentary on PAC is called resurrection. Shot after his death but he’s literally talking about it.

    What has always been amazing to be about Tupac is that how talent he actually was we will truly never know because if in a 5year period this young man could 5 to 6 albums 5or 6 movies writing poetry also being an activist n did a year in jail,if he really focused on one thing or had a longer life think of the music in how much better he would have..

  • @Mr.International82
    @Mr.International82 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I feel the reason why Pac could write song so fast and effortlessly was his love for poetry and writing. That was what helped shape and sharpen his pen game! So explosive! The man was able to finish all eyes on me in two weeks ! Not only that but bested that time and finished writing Makaveli in 3 days! The rest of the 4 days were to mix the album! Hence the 7day theory. A total of 7days to complete that Makaveli album is unheard of and haven’t been touched yet in terms of how fast a whole album was completed. I’m guessing Pac has to hold the record for that.

    Me Against The World is quintessential Tupac.I feel like his catalog post Me Against The World was filled with too much distraction.He went on a warpath after getting shot in NY.Not to say hi music got worse or anything.I love All Eyez on Me & Makaveli.I just think MATW represented the type of music Tupac originally set out to create.
