Face the fucking facts: YOU suck!

You're making two different arguments. His music being bastardized? Possibly. Him sucking, no way. You even admit in your post that he had emotion and conscience. His music to me is in the same vein as Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder or Marvin Gaye. Like them, his music has timeless messages that transcend time or trends or culture. These wanna-be rappers today only wish they could create an impact on the culture that will be around long. Most of them are played out within 2 yrs.

Go back and listen to the Me Against The World album....a MASTERPIECE. Also Makaveli: The Don Killuminati album was next level. That was recorded in 96 and released in 97 when the bling bling phenom started to take off. And that album was raw and so non-mainstream dealing with religion, black empowerment, respect for women, etc.

True he wasn't a cardboard character like these publicity assembly line rappers. He actually had multiple sides to him and was complicated and confusing at times. That's a part of what creates the mistique about him. He was a real human dealing with the same shit as everyone else but was so next level at the same time.

2PAC Forever......
