tupac did not blow up cause hes black, he blew up cause black people love him...

[Split]

... because he's black.

[Seyance]

i swear white people love tupac more than black people though.

[Joe Metts]

Good counter. Let's see if naq can leap frog this irsh whip.

[Witty]

Wait, Tupac was black?

[Zen]

Tupac had a message. It's what most rappers these days have forgotten about they just rap about bullshit. Makaveli was real and honest and people could feel that from him. Thats my two cents.

[Zen]

Just saw the eminem thread like this too. They both blew up because they're talented although eminem had something different to him because he was white but doesn't change the fact that he's talented

[Split]

Eminem maybe woulda blown up w/out white people. Tupac would never have blown up w/out black people


Therefore, Eminem is more talented than Tupac

[Ghost1]

Guys. Its 2013. Eminem an pac are washed up hacks. Lets move on.

[Witty]

Tupac doesn't even have a face anymore, the maggots devoured that long ago.

[Zen]

Pac's dead. But Makaveli isn't.
Black people were the only people buying rap music then except for a small group of white people so what did you want tupac to do? Go to white towns and try to sell songs like Young Black Male and Strictly 4 My Niggaz? You aim for your target audience. And even eminem admitted he blew up partly because he's white listen to White America. He's the mainstream face of rap because he's white even I admit that and I'm a fan of both rappers

[Curse]

Really bags? Thats how we treat the music we like when the artist is dead or been doin it for over a decade...just callthem washed hacks? Ur talkin bout pac and em as if theyre hammer and ice

[Curse]

Btw. I co sign nice counter lol...

[super pimp trillionaire]

I laughed. My point is white kids stood behind em like they did sparx. But sparx was wack. So they dropped him. Em has some talent but he's way overhyped. He doesn't belong in the top ten convos but eight mile has ppl believing otherwise somehow. Foh...
And white folks loved Pac almost as much as they loved nwa

[Wise Wiggles]

White people also loved having slaves..

[bleak]

rofl you're killing me with the 8 mile references naq.

He was an artist before that movie, trust me.

The fact that it put his name in every household in America only proves that he knows what he is doing. He's so good at rapping, now he makes money by not rapping.

Na, just means he's more accessible.

or that whites are better than blacks. Really, either or.

[Anonymous]

Eminem > 2pac

[Inno]

pac got famous cuz it was his destiny to die in las vegas..jesus people

[super pimp trillionaire]

8 mile made em like bel air made will.

[Inno]

but will smith got bel air after his rap career started..like 2 years later he got bel air no?

same as em...8 mile came after 3 CDs, his best CD imo...

[super pimp trillionaire]

No.even closer to the same than that. P say wild best alb was also before fpba..
My point is don't let the media tell you who's dope cuz of who they're fucking or how rich they are, w/e...

[Objective]

KRS One and Illmatic was hot shit in my neighbourhood, and I live in Norway. Just sayin'. Then Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers LP came along. Great music is great music. Vanilla Ice sucked, he didn't last very long, did he? House of Pain anyone? (not in the same lane as Ice, FAR from it, but you get my point) Stop talking about Em being the first white dude in the game, he hasn't been around for so long just because he's white.

Yeah but it's good to not overcompensate in the name of anti-conformity, by ignoring an artist because they're regarded so highly by the media.

I think its safe to say that the people defending em truly like his music, and my proof lies in the consensus here that his most recent work sucks donkey dick.
