I think RAP would be in a better place than it is now talent-wise with Tupac and Biggie alive, but they lived the lifestyle and well that doesn't allow for long careers.
I respect this statement but I wouldn't go as far as to call him a hypocrite, I just think he was an emotional rapper and this is what made him great in my opinion. He rapped according to his mood at the time which is what I think hip hop is missing. Everything is the same bullsh*t rims and bling and women. Tupac rapped about these things as well but he rapped about so many various topic that other rappers won't touch on today.
