Tupac Shakur Is Way Overrated (A Must Read!!!)

September 12th, 2008 | Omar West | 42 comments | 2,475 views

Now for those you who read the post we made a couple weeks ago about Blender magazine’s article about Tupac being one of the moist overrated rappers, you can consider this part 2 of that even though it was written 3 years ago over at ByronCrawford.com. Now keep in mind that this article is very well written and makes some good points and the author is very convincing even though he’s obviously bias. Someone with a weaker mind will read this article and will be completely convinced that Tupac was overrated, whack, trash etc. But I’m a Journalist too and I know when I’m reading a Mind Fuck article and since I’m one of the writers of the number 1 site hip hop music, it’s only right that I place this note before you actually read this article…..ok get to reading you stans.

For some reason, a few readers of this site have labeled me as being a hater of the late Tupac Shakur. I know, I know, I’m from the East Coast and happened to be down with P. Diddy and the Bad Boy crew (no homo) during the middle of the East/ West coast beef, but I never saw myself as a hater. As a matter of fact, one of my favorite hip hop songs ever is “Hit Em Up” where he basically told me “fuck you too” for being down with Bad Boy. Anyways, I was extremely saddened by Mr. Shakur’s untimely demise back in 1996 and even commemorated his death by purchasing all of his cd’s that I didn’t own at the time. At the time of his death, there was a lot of talk about how dude was a poet, a leader of our generation and so on and so on. Of course I associated all this talk with the type of sentimental shit that’s said upon someone’s passing. As time passed though, I became intrigued by how dude was becoming some type of legend. I also became annoyed as fuck.
Last week, I was going through all my songs on my ipod and since all of 2pac’s material came up first, I decided that I would give dude a second chance and listen to his music, just in case I had been unfairly judging his status as a hip hop icon. I listened to his first lp, “2Pacalypse Now”, released in 1991, and believe me when I emphatically say that that album sounds like pure effin garbage and I’m somewhat pissed off that I shelled out some of my hard earned cash on this piece of possum shit. There’s like no decent sounding track on it and I can’t decipher what’s worse, his feeble attempt to rhyme or the piss poor sub par production. Even the “breakout” hit single “Brenda’s Got A Baby” was pure kaa kaa, but being that that was like the first rap song dedicated in it’s entirety to every hood rat ghetto single mother across the country, it was deemed to be prolific by every baby momma alive. Eff that, that shit was weak by any hip hop classic standard. “2Pacalypse Now” got a expeditious delete from my library and I realize I must have been pretty effin amped up a year ago, upon getting a new ipod , what with me importing trash like this unto my itunes library.
Next up was his 2nd Lp, “Strictly For My N.I.G.G.A.S” released in 1993. First and foremost, the title deserves a huge NO HOMO sticker on the cd cover, what with some gay ass title like that. Secondly, I don’t know if the periods embedded in “N.I.G.G.A.S.” is supposed to mean something encoded or some strange Tupac form of Ebonics, whatever, I couldn’t give a rats scrotum about it’s meaning as it’s just plain stupid, then and now!!! The only song on that album that comes even close to being hot is “I Get Around”, but I always saw that as being a Digital Underground song featuring Pac as their weed carrying side artist. What with his first LP being all whack, the Underground decided they would help their lil homey out, similar to how Jay Z helps his lil homey Memphis Bleek out every now and then. Production on that song was tight, Pac’s flow improved dramatically overnight, but Shock G stole the show with his classic line “I’m Shock G, the one who put the satin on your panties.” The rest of the album really really really sucked much moose cock and once again I was pissed that I spent some cash on this vile piece of cat vomit. As I expeditiously deleted this crap from my library, I realized that I must have really been emotional when dude died, what with me including this shit in my music collection. Now I know this lp was released shortly after Pac’s “stunning” acting debut “Juice”, and a whole bunch of people got caught up in his portrayal of the “Bishop” character, but to me, his character suffered from a severe case of bi-polar based mental issues and since I actually knew cats like that back in the day in Brooklyn, I wasn’t impressed since they were all mental bitch made niggas until they had a gun in their hands. In addition, since “Juice” was Pac’s movie, why was the hottest song on the actual soundtrack “Know The Ledge” by Eric B. and Rakim? Sheet, Pac’s music was nowhere on the whole effin cd!!! A lot of people bought into it, but I for one didn’t sip the “juice”.
Next up was “Me Against The World” released in 1995. Now I gotta hand it to that nigga Pac, the hype surrounding this album’s release was incredible and effin unheard of at the time. First, dude got all shot up with five hot ones in his ass (no homo) in a New York studio in 1994 and SURVIVES!!! He then checks himself out of the hospital for “security” reasons and also, because he has to make it to court on a rape charge. I remember the image of Pac getting wheeled out of the courthouse days after being shot, all bandaged up with his middle finger pointed straight to the heavens and thinking “What a gully ass crazy muh fucker this dude is turning into!” He then gets sentenced to a bid in jail and starts blaming like the entire East Coast for all of his misfortunes and I’m feeling really sorry for dude, what with his little ass getting all plundered (no homo) all Oz style behind bars. Then the single “Dear Mama” comes out and it’s the first time dude has great production, rapping skills are intact and he’s saying some shit EVERYBODY can relate to. That song right there is genius in the same way Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday” is geniuos, its an effin holiday song that will get played like forever and ever. An effin Mother’s Day song!!!! The only other song on there that’s worthy of a playback is “Old School” what with its tight production and Pac’s improved rhyme cadence. The rest of the album is ehh, lukewarm, not as bad as his prior two releases, but decent enough, especially since the hype behind it made it damn near impossible not to wonder what this crazy ass nigga was talking about!!! Other than the two aforementioned songs, the rest of the lp got deleted from my library.
1996 was the year “All Eyez On Me” hit the streets. With this lp, the world was introduced to the “new and improved” Tupac Shakur. Now down with the infamous Suge Knight and signed to the most dangerous record label of all time, Death Row Records, Pac was geared to drop a classic, especially since he was now armed with one of hip hop’s greatest producers of all time, Dr. Dre. In addition, Pac single handedly orchestrated the weird but historical East/West coast beef and spit venom in every interview about Bad Boy, Diddy, B.I.G. and almost all things East related. Man, dude was like one unstoppable train wreck, impossible to turn away from. Album wise, dude was at the top of his game with the instant classics “Ambitionz As A Ridah” and“Hearts Of Men” (no homo), but now that dude has demonstrated that he has finally learned how to rhyme, he fucks it up by putting too many corny sounding weed carriers on his album. Yeah, cats like Snoop, Richie Rich and even Nate Dogg I can understand, but what in the eff is a Big Syke and a Rappin 4 Tay doing on this joint? Even “Got My Mind Made Up” featuring Method Man and Red Man sounds forced what with Pac declaring civil war on New York. How the fuck did they end up on that track? Finally, I don’t know whose idea it was to make this lp here a double cd, but with too many cuts and too many effin weed carriers, shit just got confusing along the way and would’ve been a better (not classic) cd with like only ten songs.
Finally “The Don Killuminati, The 7 Day Theory” recorded right before and released right after his death in 1996. (I in no way count the hundred or so other albums released after this one, since dude is dead and who knows what the fuck type of “studio magic” went into putting those other shits together.) I have to admit, this was really Tupac at his best, with his new character Makaveli sounding all raw and angry, dude really let you know he had gone way the fuck off the deep end and had become one crazy mother fucker!!!! Beats were tighter than anything ever produced for him, dude had rabid venom in his voice like he was infected by rage, and boy did he let everyone have it, from Jay Z on down to his own producer and label mate Dr. Dre!!!! No one was safe from his insane verbal ass whipping. This was the closest dude had to having a classic album. The reason it fell short? 25 more unknown weed carriers included in almost every effin joint!!!! If I were Pac and had blazing tracks like “Hail Mary” or “Intro/Bomb First”, there’s no way in hell I would allow my whack ass lackey’s to be featured on those tracks, NO EFFIN WAY!!! That being said, this lp had like four solid joints on it, the two I just mentioned along with “Toss It Up” (no homo), “Me And My Girlfriend” and “Against All Odds” which was the perfect song to end his career with. Throw in my favorite “Hit ‘Em Up” which was also recorded around the time this album was being produced (sans weed carriers off course) and you have a decent discography of like 16 strong records (actually 10 strong records once weed carrier and side artist elements are factored in).
After taking all of this in, I can understand the Tupac hype, which comes down to two points:
1) Tupac, if he deserved any accolade, was that throughout the course of his career, he never let go of his initial acting role in “Juice” and lp by lp, he perfected that role until he eventually and actually became that psycho bi-polar crazy ass nigga “Bishop”. If anything, he should have been nominated for a new type of Oscar, one where the actor really and truly becomes the character like five years after the movie came out.
2) You know how every chick with mental/emotional issues loves Sade? Well Tupac touched (no homo) every gangbanger, thug and thug wannabe with mental/ emotional issues. I’m sure most of those dudes are pretty eff’ed up in the head what with them losing homey after homey every other week in ‘da hood due to gunfire and gang warfare. Instead of going to see a therapist (which I can’t even imagine those dudes ever doing) ‘Pac became like their Sade. I even remember some dude posting on this site about how he sits in his truck, listens to Tupac and starts crying like a lil bitch. So yeah I get it, Tupac is like a thug’s Sade,, difference being that Sade dropped like 4 classic albums
That being said, the late Tupac Shakur is waaaaaaaay overrated.

Okay the blatant mind fuck is now over, I can sit here and write about half a dozen things he left out like “many tears”, “keep ya head up” not to mention “trapped” all from “Me Against The World”, and all of his songs from “Above The Rim” soundtrack. He left out the 20 or so CDs that were put out via bootleg or his estate, all the tight tracks on different soundtracks (Pain, Loyal to the Game, Starin at the World Thru My Rearview, Never Had A Friend Like Me etc). This is Hop Hop it’s not like other Genres you have to take in account all the mixtapes, features, unreleased and underground content as well, just look at Lil Wayne the first two Carter albums didn’t make him the hottest rapper, the Drought tapes did.

This article would have you believe your a zombie and that you only like Tupac because someone told you to or because of the hype as if we don’t have eyes, ears and a mind of our own to decide on what we like. Don’t get me wrong I’m not a super Tupac fan my top 5 dead or alive is Nas, Jay-Z, Emenim, Busta Rhymes, 4th is always battle between B.I.G. and Pac. Pac usually wins because Biggie only had two albums but then again I switch my list up all the time. The point is that the article is bias and not written from a true song for song, album for album or even bar for bar perspective……

The article was funny to read though with all the no homos and weed carrier talk……

And so I end with Tupac is not the greatest of all time (not a solid and long enough career) but he’s definitely not overrated, thats absurd.

Comment by Gus Williams on 12 September 2008:

The dude that wrote this article is a huge P.Diddy fan. If 2pac is overrated which he is not then Biggie is overrated also because both feed of each other careers after the shooting. I hope this person don’t think that switching his fourth between biggie and tupac is to justify things because tupac was ahead of biggie in rapping abut different issues. When you attack the media the way Nas is doing now you are opening your self up to the media to attack the rapper. Therefor take it for what it is worth. Pac is the greastest emcee dead or alive not because he has past away but because no matter what he was the same nigga that you saw everywhere you went and can rap about anything. The writer likes Jay-Z because of swagger. When we all know Nas is the next best thing to tupac. Take it for what it is worth. Even Nas said it him self on the corner a tv show that chronics his career and the stage that he is on today “No one can come at me, you will have to bring back Pac or Biggie from the dead. He is surely the greastest emce at this time.

Anybody who hates on Pac cannot call themselves a fan of hip hop. Come on now, Pac has to be in everybodys Top 10, if not Top 5 list. Pac is the greatest in my book followed by Big, and thats all that matters to me. This dude is truely a P Diddy fangirl that sits down to piss.

Comment by Mr. Push on 15 September 2008:

damn I can defiantly tell who the 2pac fans are… let the man speak his opinion we are in America ya know if he think 2pac is overrated that’s his prerogative. I think he was a great rapper who got a message across but not the greatest of all time.. I don’t think you can say that 1 single person to being the greatest rapper or anything of all time ..because everyone has a different message ..that’s like saying Malcolm X did more then Dr. King they both made their contributions to black culture.

Comment by coolest91 on 15 September 2008:

all i gotta say is dat 2pac was gud but not the best..
n i also wanna say dat this dude is juss hatinn too hard cus the nikka wasnt the best.. but he is not dat damn bad dat u have 2 delete a nikka’s song dats juss hatin odeee..

Comment by finisher on 15 September 2008:

It’s sad to see such a garbage opinion written about 2Pac. He sounds like 2Pac used to take his lunch money at school or some ish. People can argue about who’s the greatest rapper all they want. That topic is definitely debateable. You could make major arguments for about 5 or 6 people being #1 of all-time

What you CAN’T ARGUE, is that 2Pac was damn near the total package, when it came to being a rapper. He could literally do it all.

- rhyme about social issues AND make the track hot while doing it
- battle rhyme ( Hit em Up ) and/or freestyle
- rhyme about street life, and be TOTALLY believable
- sound great on either hardcore or pop-sounding tracks
- exhibit a lot of charisma while performing
- make songs that directly appealed to the women
- have great storytelling ability
- could change up his rhyme style to fit the track tempo
- had intelligent wordplay and usage
- abillity to market himself any way he wanted

2Pac did ALL OF THIS. Very few in the HISTORY OF RAP can say they did ALL of this.

So if 2Pac isn’t the greatest ( ala – the Michael Jordan or rap ), he’s at least the “Magic Johnson of rap”.

And a person would be a DAMMMED FOOL to say that Magic is overrated. The same goes for 2Pac

Look at these dudes when they were in their prime and pac could not stand up to any one of them. pac was not a concious rapper. he was only concious to the ignorant. Screaming out thug life and most cats don’t know the origin of the word thug. he just said a lot of ignorant shit that your ignorant ass did not have a platform to say. Stop Dickriding Fags!

Comment by Radical on 8 November 2008:

Although the writer starts off by saying “He isent a hater”. The article blatently shows hes using biased opinions.

How can you say;
Trapped wasent a good song?
How can you say, Keep yo’ head up wasent a good song?

Tupac is the greatest rapper that ever lived because his lyrics were the most relivent and spread to the most people.

Nobody ever wrote lyrics like;

You know its funny, when it rains it pours
They got money for wars but cant feed the poor.

Then you have the balls to say you dont know what the hype was all about.
Tupac dident start blaming the East Coast after he got shot in 94′. He said Biggie was involved. He attacked Biggie, Then Biggies homies decided to get involved.
Tupac was never hating on the Eastcoast, he had nothing but love for the Eastcoast. He loved everybody, black or white.
Tupac wanted to find a way to come out 500x stronger to Biggie, without physically killing him. He succeeded in that by releasing Hit em up. I still believe to this day, Biggie had prior Knowledge of the fact Pac was about to be shot. Tupac wasent paranoid, He was inteligent and wouldent go all-out like he did for a “hunch”.

Tupac was not just a Rapper, He was a Poet, An Activist, A Revolutionizer, A Screen Writer, An Actor, A Philospher. He was Inteligent, He used his Inteligence to try and affect change.
Tupac is loved because of the issues he spoke about.
I dont denie that Tupac ALWAYS wrote songs about Struggles and Oppression. But I believe that every song he did, he did for a reason.
Weither it be Hit Em up or Changes.

Tupac inspired Millions, He gave hope to lives of tens of millions worldwide. He spoke what was on his mind, He spoke about Unjustice, Poverty and Oppression like no other rapper ever has.

Not only did he speak about it, But he got it known to hundreds of millions of people.

Tupac wasent a Gangster, He wasent down with the people who Robbed and Killed people. He was a brother fighting back.

God Bless The Dead

True..the Pac fan is the dumbest rap fan to ever emerge. Throughout Pac’s 6 to 7 year career. Theres’ no point whatsoever where he had the album of the year. Dear Mama dropped in February 95, but lost to the best album of the year Only Built For Cuban Linx which dropped in August 95. It only ran 5 months and fans then chose Wu Tang. That just goes to show that during the 90’s so many rap groups were out, nobody was totally concerned with Pac or Big. So where is the GOAT status coming from?? It’s coming from the younger under 25 generation that puts Pac fame before his wack rhymes. These kids love Pac no matter what the dude says or did. He told black women “You need a thug in your life” But after he came out of prison he denounced “Thug Life” Blamed Biggie and the Entire State of New York because some unknown street cats robbed him of his $20′000 in gold chains. You take all the fake tales from the hood, growing up in misery sippin hennessy lyrics from Pac and just ask him to flow. And you’ll bear witness to a MAJOR DISASTER, wackest rhyming mc in rap since Vanilla Ice. “My momma raise me as a G from birth, I’ll be a hustler motherfucker til I sees my hearst” The dude is just wack..wack..WACK!!!
