Tupac is Not the Greatest MC Of All Time

Yes I said It. But understand what i mean by an emcee. By saying he is not a good emcee does not take away the fact that Tupac Amaru Shakur is the greatest rapper that will ever live and is the most influential rapper to walk this earth. To many this would seem like a blasphemous statement. To say that the greatest rapper of all time is not the greatest emcee doesn't make since to alot of you. Alright lets look at Tupac for his skills and faults. Tupac is the most charismatic rapper ever. He connects with the middle aged white stock broker and the teen aged urban black student. He is compared to great leaders like Malcolm, Martin, and Huey. His words show the best and worst aspects of society. But this makes him a great rapper, artist, and poet but not a great emcee. The main aspect of being an emcee is having strength in skills of delivery, meaningless, and actual rhyme scheme. Now Tupac had depth in his words but with his rhyme scheme and delivery he lacked the skills of a Rakim, a Slick Rick, and even a Biggie. Biggie could rap in such detail the smallest things. He captured the essence of subconscious fear better than anyone. Also Biggie used an advanced vocabulary in almost every bar he spit. Now was it as culturally defining as Tupac... well no but that is what separates a good MC from a good rapper. I believe the main problem in hip-hop especially in younger generations is people really don't listen to Tupac, Biggie, Jay-Z, Nas, and especially pioneers like Rakim and Slick Rick. They take magazine and televisions word that Tupac is the god of rap in both emceeing and overall rapping. This is a mistake which I believe has hurt rap today. Because it is ridiculous to say that Tupac can freestyle better than Biggie or Jay-Z. That is because Tupac is not a free stylist. You would say Lebron can shoot 3s better than Ray Allen you know why cause he can't. People are dumb and don't do research. People have gotten so lazy they don't check statistics. By believing everything you hear you become a tool of fascism. And if you don't understand that look it up for God's sake. Use fucking Wikipedia for a chance. So before you write me hate mail or shit like that go get 2pac Cd's listen to them. Go get Biggie's Cd's and Jay-Z's and Nas and Rakim and Slick Rick go listen to real rap people not bullshit. But before I finish understand Tupac is my favorite rapper. But Biggie is my favorite emcee. Now let the debating begin...
