    Lots of reasons really...

    Cuz he died when he was in his prime(think if Em died around 8 mile), cuz he had lots of charisma and a very strong personality, cuz he wanted to make a difference in the world and be much more than just a rapper, cuz he was great at the soft stuff and the hard stuff, cuz there wasn't an issue he was afraid to speak on, cuz he was a very interesting person outside of music as well, reached people on an emotional level more than probably any other rapper, influenced lots of other rappers etc.

    Some pretty idiotic responses in this thread tbh, people acting like he's not considered one of the best ever lol. Nothing wrong with not liking him, but pretending he's irrelevant and didn't connect with many and make a huge impact is pretty ridiculous.

    Pac the person>Pac the rapper, I'm a huge fan of both though.

    Sad sad day for me when Young Thug is considered a legend and Tupac is basically remembered by most of you for.....doing ballet and his bathtub picture lol..

    No wonder I never discuss music on here anymore. Out.

    Alot of people consider Muhammed Ali the greatest boxer of all time, alot of it had to do with what he was doing outside the ring. I think its similar with pac, hes considered a goat cause he was alot more than a rapper.

    In my opinion it was the level of content he was releasing for the era that he was alive. I think everyone who has a direct opinion on Hip-Hop will agree that Tupac for sure was one of the greats. You also need to consider that before the early 90's hip-hop really wasn't a mainstream thing, him and Biggie really pushed the boundaries of music as an entire thing popularizing Hip-Hop music.

    Not to mention, you can mix Tupac Vocals + Lyrics over any beat, with any artist and it will still sound incredible.

    Some examples




    The level of progression for him as an artist continues, long after he's dead. I feel like this as a whole should clarify him as a GOAT.

    Because he shot two cops and stuffed a champagne bottle into a girl's butthole... And he was a poet.

    And the emotions he put on the record.
    And his hooks.
    And his singing.
    And white girls at Starbucks love him.

    Plus, us Generation X'ers are imposing our taste on you stupid millennials... Like the Baby Boomers tried to do to us... Only it didn't work because we were bad a--- individualists.

    Conveying emotion is a talent tho not being emotional I think you mean
    Conveying emotion > technical skill

    I see where the emotional side of pac comes from but thats all I like about him no one has the attitude and charisma that he had but that doesn't make his songs great
