    Soulja Boy is nowhere near Pac. I have a hard time believing that you would even think to compare the two. Tupac may not have had "deep" or "classy" lyrics on the surface of a lot of his songs but he definitely sold his created alter-ego very well and was on the forefront of a major hip-hop movement. Soulja Boy is just asinine and bad all around.

    This is just WAY off. Tupac had alter egos like someone mentioned, and I would say his lyrics had more substance than Biggies. He was not the clever lyricist as Notorious but listen to Tupac's "Dear Mama", "So Many Tears", "Brenda's Gotta Baby", "Life Goes On", "Better Dayz"... I can go on and on. Your'e probably just going by his stuff that got played on the radio, which in this case I would understand why you feel this way, but you should explore his music a bit more and you will find what a great song writer he was.

    damn those songs were classic.

    check this out

    “This is not based on archival footage,” says Ed Ulbrich, chief creative officer at Digital Domain. “This is not him performing at some point. This a completely original, exclusive performance only for Coachella and that audience.” In other words, it’s a digital likeness of Tupac designed to interact with his co-performers and the crowd. At one point, Tupac even shouts “What the f— is up, Coachella!” even though the music festival didn’t exist until three years after his death.

    Nah c'mon not the most successful troll. I mean not everyone took it. He went at Tupac WAY too hard. Then compares Tupac to Soulja Boy. He needs to be more subtle with it.

    Besides he got it mixed up. Biggie was the one screaming about b****es and money and shooting people non-stop.

    Tupac actually had a lot of songs with some meaning.

    The technology is pretty cool but I wish they wouldn't say this is Tupac Live. It is a very sophisticated simulacra of Tupac.

    LMAO so Pac gets points taken off because he didn't use a butt load of metaphors and multis? Cmon son. You dont need all that to tell a story. There is more to a good song that fancy wordplay and metaphors. Pac's impact went far and beyond hip hop. That is why he is considered the GOAT. How do people not understand that? So he may not have been the greater lyricist to ever touch a mic, so what? There are many elements to hip hop/rap. Was MJ the best jump shooter or best defender of our time? Probably not, but many consider him the GOST.

    Biggie's first song was Bullets and Bull****
    and that is alll he talked about his whole career

    Pac dominates Biggie
    Hell . . I don't think Biggie makes the top 10

    Rocket River
    Pre-kid move Cube may take them both out.
    Scarface from the Ghetto boys dominates Biggie

    Rakim faints...

    Tupac is the Dominique Wilkins of Hip Hop. Rakim changed the game like no one ever has before, or since.
