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.

I do like the mixtapes that are put out by few of todays rappers...

I didnt think much of Nipsey Hussle until I heard his mixtape. He has that old school west coast feel , I never knew he could rap like that.

I'm not into rap but I did come across a book that contained Tupacs lyrics. He really did write some interesting stuff. I think his writings put rap in a light I hadn't seen. I don't go out of my way to get his music but when I do hear his tunes I pay attention.

What was that movie he was in with Tim Roth. They played a couple junkies looking to get into rehab. It's the only movie of his I have seen but he played a great part in that film.
