A real rapper.


Rap lyrics when I was growing up: (2pac)

Teardrops and closed caskets, the three strikes law is drastic
And certain death for us ghetto bastards
What can we do when we're arrested, but open fire
Life in the pen ain't for me, cause I'd rather die
But don't cry through your despair
I wonder if the Lord still cares, for us niggaz on welfare


Rap lyrics now: 50 cent

I put Lamborghini doors on that Escalade
Low pro's so low look like I'm ridin' on blades
In one year man, a awesome dude's so paid
I have a straight bitch in the telly goin both ways (Ah!)
Touch me, tease me, kiss me, please me
I give it to ya just how you like it, girl
You know I'm rockin' with the best

why don't you compare it to lyrics from common, atmosphere, mos def, etc. Hip hop isn't dead. Not even close.

Main stream rappers are doing their thing, the underground cats are doing their thing.

Because he was an incredible poet and rapper. His enthusiasm, passion, dedication, motivation, and work ethic is unparalleled, IMO.

Terrible songs though; there was not a single one I found interesting.

It's not going to appeal to everyone. Most of his songs were narratives. I myself don't find most old country music to be interesting, either, but then again I don't have the same kind of life or relate as easily to some of the struggles.

I love plenty of older rap/hip-hop, but this guy did nothing for me.
