Except Nas is a much better rapper than Pac was.

He would have been like Snoop and Ice Cube.

Star in a bunch of stupid movies where the character often has the same traits.

Exactly this PAC and he never gets any appreciation on this site and it disgusts me!

as for movies he already has classics out and he is far from Snoop lol.

Geno's comments make a lot of sense as well.


Yeah, I just think maybe a lot of people on this site are too young to remember the impact 2pac had on people. Comparing him to Nas is blasphemy. Both are in my top 5 rappers, but I never really looked at Pac as a rapper. I looked at him as a voice that people looked to for guidance and I believe he would have changed the world in some way if he lived.
