what you thought would be heaven, turn’s out to be hell.
I wonder if she knows the devils taken off her clothes, deep into her soul
slow, now he’s in control.
Poppas doing worse, a victim of the deadly curse
wouldn’t be the first to leave the ghetto in a hurse,and oh how it hurts.
The children pay the biggest price,
never get the chance to grow up with a happy life.
Blame it on the rock, but we know that’s a bunch of crap
someone’s at the top supplying us with much crack.
Keep them in a daze,don’t let them see the other way
let’em all get paid,wont live to see another day.
See they never got a breath of the sunshine,
now the kids addicted and only hit it one time.
We are destined to be dead as a nation,
don’t let it come to this, resist the temptation.

Gamble for your soul with the devil
you wonder how low can you go, before you reach the lowest level.
As everybody sits and stares,
there’s no use looking in you eyes cause there isn’t anybody there.

If you like his music, then it shouldn't matter what anyone else says. why would you argue over your personal opinion and tastes? Who cares about what person A said about someone you like as an artist? Grow up, darkies. If a magazine says he sucks then that is their opinion. You porch monkeys are too distracted with "hip hop nigga bizzness" while the white man is out there making business deals and holding conferences and doing all the wonderful things that white people do. They are just a pleasure to be around. Why does it matter what a magazine says about someone you like?

And it is made crystal clear that the opinions of those contributors do not necessarily reflect the opinions onf the entire editorial staff. #2 - He is right. Tupac is over-rated. Only after his death and during the East/West fiasco did people start to worship him. Granted he has some good songs out there, but he never dropped a solid album, with back to back quality joints. The fact that he was born in prison to a Panther, went to performing arts school, shot a cop and sparked a cultural civil war and basically foretold his death is what made him the greatest hip-hop CELEBRITY of all time. His rhymes skills were by NO MEANS the greatest. Then or now. I bought 1 Tupac tape in my life, '2pacalypse Now'. And then, I ended up trading it to my boy for a Das EFX tape. I came out on top. That’s absolutely ridiculous.

They overrated "Pink Floyd" and "music we thought was hot in high school." Like I said the list was just a silly thing and I think when they placed Pac at the top they weren't thinking about the cult backlash the list would receive. Thanks for the props.

Its hard to stay on top and as the music base shifts and money is with the younger audience a hustler like big might have been tempted to appeal to it.

Pac is/was great, but I gotta agree with Juan. His monicker is actually more popular than his music. He had some classics true, but he was also very controversal and we all know that sells records. All the shit with Suge and the East vs West beef contributed to his rise, but in my opinion, his best album was "Me Against the World", before he signed to Death Row. Wayne is undoubtly the most overrated of all time. Off top, Rakim is the best of all time. Pac is/was great, but I gotta agree with Juan. His monicker is actually more popular than his music.
