BEST and FUCKIN SEXY

Gone too soon!

He IS hip-hop.

LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the best rappers known to man.

He spoke about the world and it's realities and that is why I liked Pac. It is ironic to me that after all his talks of black liberation, power and struggle he ended up like a black Elvis.

This guy is far from being a "hero" I seen many wearing T-Shirts with his pic on the front, he was no hero, he is was a gangsta! Gangstas are no hero's, they are losers.

Tupac represented the very thing that is wrong with society today - abusing women, gangland violence, and making every excuse in the book for his misfortunes as if he in no way was ever a contributer to that. Tupac was a symbol of that disease, a pox on this nation, and he got the cure. He got exactly what he deserved and other commenters have said it well - "live by the sword, die by the sword". Rest in pieces Tupunk, I hope you're buring right now.

THE GREATEST

Despite all his bullshit about "keepin' it real" against his enemies, Tupac was a genuinely talented lyricist who projected a much more likeable personality than most hip-hop performers. That richness of character came through in his voice, not his life. He wrote some lyrics that still stop me in my tracks, as in the song "Keep Your Head Up." He tends to be a polarizing figure -- most people give him either a 5 or a 1 -- but the truth might be somewhere in between, because he tried to equate his life and his lyrics but ended up being much better at the latter than the former.

Most of Shakur's songs are about growing up around violence and hardship in ghettos, racism, problems in society, and sometimes his feuds with fellow rappers. Shakur's work is known for advocating political, economic, social, and racial equality as well as his raw descriptions of violence, drug and alcohol abuse, and conflicts with the law. Many fans, critics, and industry insiders rank him as the greatest rapper ever. I guess a lot of people dislike him because he claimed thuglife like it was his relgion, but can you blame him for being a thug? this guy was sent to go play with the drug dealers and he was surrorounded by crooked cops his whole life.

Only God can judge me? Wrong , a--hole , when you leave behind the trail of violence, decadence , sleaziness ,and anti-social , self-destructive behavior ,as well as the typical excuse-making , there's more than enough evidence , that We can more than judge you 100% correctly! This pathological hothead , actually believed ,that after all the violent assaults , drugs and sodomizing that woman ,he could babble something that egomaniacal . It was a statement of the most conceited proportions , an assumption that only God totally understands him , and understands why he mercilessly assaulted , attacked ,thugged , drugged , and sexually assaluted , and , love him , in spite of it all .Yeah , God is going to judge you , prick ,and he won't be very lenient , as you deluded yourself into believing He will. And your music was nothing but the usual rap garbage, and , you're not still alive , either, just BS propaganda , cooked up by other similar a--holes shamelessly exploiting you , to fill their pockets , including your mother - a similarly ,pathologically lying, violent ,racist.

2pac is the best ever, ever! There will never be another mc like him. RIP

Tupac is one of the greatest rapper of all time, he spoke for me and many people for generations, (Much like Kool Moe Dee), he loved his fanbase, he was a poet, he loved women of all races, yes he was controversal, but he was a real man who spoke for real truth in the world today, I Will always listen to tupac and continue to listen to him for the rest of my or as pac said, until the end of time.

R.I.P. 2Pac, you will never be forgotten.

Hartman, you appear to be in possession of key info that has eluded the authorities! Tupac Shakur was killed by rogue policemen?!? Quick! Contact the federal authorities immediately! Criminal indictments will fly because I have no doubt that you have some manner of evidence regarding this rather than mindless speculation and garden variety conspiracy theory! Oh yeah, you mentioned "young, rich and influential," but you left out "dead". And if you don't realize that that is the lesson presented by the life of the former Death Row recording artist, then you have missed the obvious. More specifically, criminals commonly wind up in the ground or in jail. Sorry if that isn't the heroic "thug life" image you were amped up for. Tupac Shakur: Despite the money, "beautiful soul" and whatever other attributes he may have had, he's worm food because he couldn't get his head out of the ghetto. And in my estimation, that does not constitute "a black hero".

I am a huge fan of Tupac. Each time I hear his lyrics, its gets me to thinking of better days are yet to come.

the greatest rapper of all time and those who dont like him, I can understand.

The Greatest

Head and shoulders above everyone else.....EVER.

He has an aggressive presence on the mic and really sounds like he knows what he's rapping about. The world lost a great rapper when he died. His best cd is Me Against the World.

The man was talented. ..but his fans glamorizing his death are complete morons. They're acting like some great hero was 'assasinated'. . .Tupac was a talented artist, yes, but his ass was shot because of some bulls##t street mentality that he couldn't transcend. You live by the sword. . .

Should be shot. Oops, nevermind.

Worst thing is that him fans try to play him up like a hero for eating it in a shootout. Did he even get a shot off?

Just another ignorant black man whos attitude on life and violent nature got him killed. you live by the sword, you die by the sword. Those who think hes some kind of hero will probably be a victim like he was at some point, and I wont lose a minutes sleep over it.

Another legend. Still be going strong if he were alive today. R.I.P.

tupac is da bomb!!!!! I love his music!!!!!

Great lyricist. Ice-T made a point that Tupac would rap then carry out deeds, whereas other rappers rapped where they were from.

im not a great big fan of rap especially the hard core stuff but i saw true talent in tupac shakur not for being a rapper but for being a true poet. i think it wouldnt hurt to find out just a little more info about this young man before making such harsh opinions of him. i guarantee there is more to him than meets the eye. id tell you but thats what learning is all about the curiosity to know something before judging it. i cant judge tupac shakurs life cuz i never have walked in his shoes and only then would i possibly have enough to know about him to voice an opinion but not to judge. ill leave important stuff like that to god

Tupac Amaru Shakur i can honestly say i dont believe hes dead but he was/is a crazy music artist! I can totally believe he recorded every song to this date and they still have material sommin out. Tupac was inspiration for anyone! He is by far the greatest rapper ever and not one other rapper in this world cant reach him mentally, hypatheticly, realisticly, physically, spiritually, etc.

A shout out to all my peeps in the hood. Keepin' it real here in the crib. Blah, blah, blah. Another talentless talker who got himself shot. Good riddance to bad garbage. UPDATE: What do you think Tupac would be doing if he were alive today? I think he would be clawing at the inside of his coffin!

PBeavr, to be a moderator you sure are one rude idiot...but to my comments... 2Pac was at the same time one of the most destructive, but by far the most inspirational rapper in history...those who hate him probably never took the time to listen to songs like Crazy,Pain Hold ya Head staring through my rearview Keep ya head up Life goes on and my personal favorite White Manz World Pac was a hero for young black males in the sense that he would say what we all wanted to say in terms of the struggles we have...hell, to me most rock music is just a bunch of surbaban white folks being depressed because they think its 'cool', but I dont listen to it enough to condemn the entire genre...get off your high horse..until you listen to an artists ALBUMS front to back, and not just SONGS and whats said in the media, dont be so quick to trash it... oh and to the other guy, if you really believe 2pac had to rape someone to get some err...sex, then you sir are a complete and utter moron...plus how do you rape someone on a dancefloor? How do you force them to ummm...Lewinsky you on the dancefloor with all these other people looking KNOWING you are 2pac Shakur....Moron

alot of rock heads hate on tupac and i expect that but whether you believe it or not while tupac was here he helped the black community and he was the best thing that ever happened to rap. If people would stop hating and really sit down and listen to his words they would see that he was speaking for everybody who had a rough life, who lived poor, and who thought all hope was gone. Instead of this rockers who want to kill theirselves because they don't get along with their parents. That's bull sh*t at least tupac was talking about some real shit that was going on in the world like poverty. Pac is the best and all you haters keep hatin aint nobody out there that can touch him.

His music is alright...BUT...he's not saying anything that I don't already know. Too bad he couldn't separate himself from the thug-life. I hope he's experiencing unreal peace in a much better place.

i believe tupac is alive, he has a new release every 4 months or so, im not sure its who's fault about his image, but common dont ever compare that thug to our savior, no way!!!!!!!!

My hero, better than anyone. The black Jesus.

had a few good songs, not too talented, dont beleive the hype!

just a thug

Yo dat true tupac was amaxing he was liek a martin luther or a melcom ex it's like when he talks u listen he makes u think he makes u realize that the world has f**ked up liek he is a legen he will always be the best rapper in the world

Tupac is the best rapper. He has so much meaning in his lyrics, and he's just amazing.

The best rapper, no one compares. Don't expect to quit hearing his music, since he still has unreleased songs left over since he knew he was going to die. Some of his songs have a very positive message. He was and always will be the best rapper.

he knows his raps well

The main reason I hate rap.

tupac was the most talented musicians of all time. His music still lives on today. He has made some of the best songs ever made

At this rapper's funeral, a friend of the family was asked to say something good in memory of Shakur. He was quoted as saying, Tupac Shakur is dead. Good.

two words....NOT DEAD!!! How can a guy release so many albums after the fact? I don't buy it, there's no way they just happened to have recorded that many songs or partial songs while he was alive and not released them. He's livin it up somewhere. MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN IN HISTORY!!!!

Pac is tha greatest f*&* u hatas and see ya'll lata

the other guy named tupac should learn how to spell(skylar) anyways he is an awesome artist with a lot of talent.

Pac was sooo contradictory, at first he was positive with DigitalUnderground, then he was supposed to be the blackwoman's hero or something, then he snapped back to calling the B's & Ho's, if he knew Shug shot him, why'd he keep hanging around him so much? Tupac was a better actor than rapper -- almost. Tragic loss. The black man's Elvis...

I HPOE WITH ALL MY HEART HE IS STILL ALIVE............. BUT IF HIS HEART CAN BEAT NO MORE I HOPE HIS SHOOTER ROT .IN .PICCES EMINEMS GREAT!, BUT HE WILL NEVER BE PAC !!!!

I like the way he started to grow in the end. Very smart man.

A solid acting talent but since I detest rap music I really couldn't bring myself to like his music.

Live like a thug die like a thug!

Overrated and got his deathwish. Professed to be a West Coast guy but was raised in NY and Baltimore. Not even the best lyricist from Digital Underground. Does short mans syndrome mean anything?

started of as a party type rapper hanging with the Digital Underground. Then all the sudden re-invents himself into a thug and makes it big.

Tupac so asome and i wish he would come out of hideing come out whth a new cds.

TUPAC AMARU SHAKUR is simply the best of the best's and it will be for ever...

Tupac accomplished alot,being though his lifestyle and the surrounding he's grown up in. He is one of the greatest rappers of all times. And for those that said RAP IS DEAD! that's the same thing they said in the in the 70's look where it's at NOW! And you and your kids are the ones that made it as popular as it is. So no matter what you say, just keep supporting RAP! AH HA you IDIOTS>

tupac shakur IS the greatest rapper ever and he still alive....if u dont belive he is still alive then u aint a true 2Pac fan

the best and still is the best no cracker, Eminem,cant touch him so get it through yall thick head

He is like my freaking idol. My fav singer/rapper!!!

Tupac is obviously loved by many people, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, his music is not something I could ever get into...

OK, WHY are people who obviously know NOTHING about the wonderful form of music called Rap and NOTHING about Tupac Shakur, feel the need to place their ignorant opinions on here? I, for one, have listened to a LOT of rap/hip-hop, and Tupac is DEFINATLY one of the most talented and prolific artists that this genre has seen yet. Yeah, he did have a cocky attitude sometimes, AND a big mouth, but there was a lot of depth behind his bravado. I have never lived in a ghetto or in a poverty stricken community, but I have felt pain and disappointment in my life, and so did Pac. He communicated feelings more universal then the genre he worked in. OH, and for these suckers who think rap isn't that hard to do, just you try getting up in front of a large group of people, rapping, and getting those people to feel the beat, feel your flow, and communicate a mood. Bet cha can't, especially not like Pac did. He will be remembered long after any of you.

Gang banger. Sux!!!
