BTW, you may want to look up Tupac and learn a little about the man. Besides the fact that his readings of literature surpass everyone on this forum combined, he studied and excelled at jazz, music, ballet, & theatre at Baltimore School for the Arts (which is by the way is a distinguished institution). He was also a renowed for his poetic ability and critically aclaimed on his acting ability. So your assumption that rap is a genre that requires zero musical knowledge, ability and talent just falls flat. It's true for the most part, especially now, but name one other genre in the last 20 years that does not fall to the same fate. Come on, heavy metal & rock is filled with talentless crap that still gets adored by afficiadoes. Just because you can play an instrument, does not make you an artist. Plenty of retarded metal heads to prove that theory.
The real stars of the beginning of the rap genre were exceptional for a reason. In fact, there has yet to be any musician/artist in any genre that could even touch someone like Tupac and his work. Since your bias is high, as well as many other rap haters on here, just go look up the lyrics to a few of his deep & thought provoking sons: "Brenda's Got a Baby", "Keep Ya Head Up", "Dear Mama", "Changes".
