Rough Draft

2 PAC
Rough Draft

Has their ever been a more influential rapper, a more controversial rapper, political or "real" rapper. This MC that I'm talking about is 2 Pac Shakur he was the best rapper ever and he proved this because he sold the most records every around 70 million, but the sick thing is that 2 Pac sold more records when he was dead then when he was alive. This paper will explain why I think 2 Pac is the best rapper ever to touch a microphone.

As the story goes, Tupac Shakur spent untold hours in the studio recording rhymes for no particular reason other than to express his vast creativity. But after ten great albums, we must finally be getting to the bottom of 'Pac's barrel, right? Several of his verses on this eleventh post death released ten years after his demise are undercooked looped and padded out with verses from a new generation of rappers like Charmillionaire and T.I. The surprise is that, after digging so deep, producers like Swizz Beatz and Sha Money XL discovered some genuine gems, on which 2Pac's electric voice and poetic lyrics still resonate. On the resigned "Dumping'," 'Pac trades hard-hitting staccato rhymes with two of his most deft disciples, Papoose and Hussein Fatal, who demonstrate, a decade later, just how much of an impact 2Pac has had on today's hip-hop.
He changed how people thought about rap music. He showed them that drugs, alcohol, and young pregnancy was real and it was happening to the people we love.

How can Tupac Shakur be resurrected if the record industry won't let him die? The most padded of his many posthumous releases, this soundtrack to a Tupac biopic of the same name includes album cuts, hits and recent recordings created around previously unreleased rhymes and familiar Tupac samples. The oldies, however recycled, are at least respectful: Tupac's mainstream debut, Digital Underground's "Same Song," was also the last classic track by the mischievous but musically substantial Bay Area hip-hop collective of which he was a member.

“Unfortunately, Resurrection abuses Tupac's vocal tracks and his legend. Teaming him with the similarly exploited Notorious B.I.G. in "Running' (Dying to Live)," Eminem speeds up an old Edgar Winter ballad to corny and annoying effect, and in "The Realist Killaz," 50 Cent condemns Tupac wanna-be's, bragging that he was playing with guns while others were playing tennis. Both tracks use gunshots as percussion. Is this the way to pay tribute to a man murdered by bullets?” Said by Rolling Stones Magazine

Tupac was the greatest rapper ever and he brought drugs, alcohol, and baby's to young being made to "White" America. He never let anyone bother him he just did his thing and did it great. His songs reached out to people in a way that cant be explained, and some songs that did this was Changes a song about people in the hood fighting for no reasons, and another one is that the fight that 2 Pac and Biggie Smalls had well 2 Pac song was a song called "Hit em Up" this song was a this between the two rappers that went on for a long time and even the cause of 2 Pac’s death.

2 Pac was great and he change a lot over the years one lyric that he stated “And Although it seems hevan sent We am not ready to see a black president”, he said that almost 15 years ago, 15 long years and we finally have change. We have a black President for the first time in history in the U.S.A.

And I think that 2 Pac had a big change on rap and even more on the United States of America.
