2Pac
Name: Tupac Shakur
Reppin': Oakland, CA
Breakthrough: One of the most iconic rappers of all-time, 2Pac started his rap career as hanger-on with the Oakland rap group, Digital Underground. But with the release of his solo debut album, 2Pacalypse Now (Interscope, 1991), and a starring role in the 1992 film Juice (Paramount), 2Pac’s star began to rise dramatically. Two more albums—1993’s Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z (Interscope) and 1995’s Me Against The World (Interscope)—gave ’Pac the ability to be a rare triple threat: a controversial media figure to politicians and social critics; a sex symbol to females; and a street credible character in the world of rap music. Still, his commercial success didn’t match his critical accolades until 1996 when he signed with Death Row Records and released All Eyez On Me, which debuted at number one on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop chart. Unfortunately, his success came to a tragic halt on September 7, 1996 when he was gunned down in Las Vegas. He died 6 days later at the age of 25.
Now You Know: All Eyez On Me was the first double-disc album featuring entirely original material in hip hop history.

2pac is the best for sure.he had no fear.he saw his death coming.and he died young.if he was around for even one more year longer it would have been clear that he surpasses everyone..but even though he died young and didnt reach his full potential,he still left his mark and is undeniably the best ever.

Tupac Amaru Shakur (June 16 1971 – September 13 1996), also known by his stage names 2Pac, Makaveli, or simply Pac, was an American artist renowned for his rapping and hip hop music, as well as his movie roles, poetry, and his social activism. He is recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest-selling rap artist, with over 75,000,000 albums sold worldwide( and still rising), including over 50,000,000 in the United States alone. Most of Shakur's songs are about growing up around violence and hardship in ghettos, racism, problems in society, and sometimes qualms with other rappers. Shakur's work is known for advocating political, economic, social, and racial equality as well as his raw descriptions of violence, drug and alcohol abuse, and conflicts with the law. Many fans, critics, and industry insiders rank him as the greatest rapper ever.
RIP 2pac

YO PAC #1 here and everywhere, like da other dude said below, he was extremely versatile spittin about diverse subjects (e.g: his childhood, black history, violence, racism, discrimination, comin up, for da women, everything) Man i tell ya if he was here the game would be distinct, no garbage rappers, jus truth spittin MC'S, in my opinion NAS is the best alive, the reason, he looks up to PAC and studied the intellectual, now HE spits real shit.

2pac revolutionised rap music. All you guys who claim lil wayne is better then pac, are crazy. You might as well be spitting in the face of rap music.
2pac rapped about real situations and problems that many people where confronted with on a daily bases. He was a well rounded artist who could inspire a entire group, regardless of their musical taste.
Lil Wayne, just steals lines from former artist and tries to make money. His sells might be good, but lets be honest here. Real rap is dead, today's "rap" is just hip hop with dance instructions or an up beat sound with a meaningless story about what happened in the club.
Real rap died in the 90's, Their are real rappers out there today but they will never make it anywhere. Why? because real rap doesn't sell and appeal to middle/high school kids. What appeals to these kids today is lil wayne, soulja boy, etc. Its all about money now, and will probably always be.

Tupac is the best. why? he touched it all. first for the respect of female he said: You know it makes me unhappy (what's that)
When brothas make babies, and leave a young mother to be unhappy
And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies.
This would get long if i type out the great pac songs. What im tryin to say is pac ability to touch politics, love (Do 4 Love), social issues, various other topic made him the best. NOt just drugs drugs killing killing, Im a drug king pin bull. ill leave with my favorite pac verse : With all this extra stressin'
tha question I wonder is after death
I feel my last breath
when will I finaly get to rest from this supression
they punish tha people that's askin questions
and those that possess
steal from tha ones without possesions
tha message I stress
to make it stop
study your lessons
don't settle for less
even tha genius asks questions
be gratifull for blessins
don't ever change
keep your essense
tha power is in tha people and tha politics we address
always do your best
don't let this pressure make ya panic
and when ya get stranded
and things don't go tha way ya planed it
dreaming of richs
in a position of makin' a difference
polititions are hipocrites
they don't wanna listen
if i'm insane
then tha fame ain't about ta change
it wasn't nothin' like tha game
it's just me Against tha World
THats why people say he the best.

2pac is ill, but lyrically a handful of rappers surpass him lyrically on the list(rakim, eminem, biggie, bigL, mos def, nas, etc...) people probably would vote for him due to nostalgia and then some will actually vote for him for his music, but i know a lot of people who say 2pac is the greatest, and cant even name 10 songs of his lmao, oh well hope the real mcs shine
