As he discusses a unified rap nation and where he'd be in 2016, 'Pac is everything we remember: Candid, passionate, prophetic. Rest in peace, Tupac Amaru Shakur.

its not just about how many big words you used or how well your lyrics are put together. 2pac's lyrics were good, but what made him the best was the way he could communicate his energy through his rappin... like hiz vibe.

sortta like DMX.. when DMX rapps you feeeeel it . BIG waz crazy with that too. but 2pac was better.

i respect Tupac, he is a great rapper, he did rip shit apart, but i hate it wen people crown him the greatest because he died, same thing wit Biggie. to me, in my opinon of course, Big L, is and will always be the greatest (lyrically) in my eyes. also, i think Biggie was lyrically better than Tupac.

love u Pac R.I.P. The Greatest
