This is what I think...
Basically I respect each and everyone of your guys opinion. Now this is my opinion: In rap your only good if you "keep it real" don't front, dont lie bout shit and most importantly if you HAVE SKILLZ. Like all my Northerners n my gente puttin work on this muzik bizz. Pac did live a thug life. He inspired a lot of people how he use his lyrics to show his pain in the streets, his songs are there 4 people to hear and shit their tight 2 bump 2. He never bit his toungue always was never afraid of the way he felt, said it how he meant it. 4 that I look up 2 da man. how he died was strictly streets he didn't die 4 no rap, strictly street SHIT. Thats why I personally like woodie his songs represent his life he ain't fakin shit, and has TALENT how he comes with flows and sometimes forces words out of his mouth to rhyme that other rappers couldn't combine together that's sheer genious. Woodie talks bout the streets how life is hard example in the song called "The streets are callin me. Hear that song and Hear tupacs song "Shed so many Tears". Both are great ain't afraid to speak on the streets and the pain that comes with it. Pac is diffenetly one of my top 10 best rappers of all time (Along with woodie of course). Hope nobody feels offended, hey I heard what ya'll had to say and respected it and this is what I had 2 say. FEEL ME.
