Let's appreciate Tupac Shakur

I think he's an amazing rapper and probably the most conscious one who ever lived.

These are my favorite 2pac tracks:

I listen to him, not as much as I used to though. My favorite song is the Acoustic Thugz Mansion. The version with out nas, ( even though I like nas)

any album any song i can listen to from pac. just a great artist

Ever got those spam e-mails?

"hey this is toupac. I know they say I'm dead but I'm not. If you want to help me get back in the game meet me at the hardies on XYZ evening."

but I don't mind toupac.
Just don't listen to that genre much.

All About U and Changes both nut affectionately all over me.

I am so not a rap person, but I own and enjoy my Tupac Greatest Hits CD :3
I like to clean house to it. My neighbors are black, though, so they might wonder why this nerdy white girl is listening to Tupac, but I don't care, Good music is good music.

Let's appreciate Tupac Shakur

Can't. Sorry. His music is too bad.

Not pretentious enough for you? Because he ****ed your ***** dude.

I lol'd.
That song was pretty cool actually.
Does that mean I'm pretentious?

^ pretentious just means you know what you like and are selective about it.

It's what people with broader standards call people w/ more selective standards.

<3

No, pretentious means that you only believe what you like has any worth, and look down on others for liking things different than you.

^ I rarely find that to be the actual case though with people and the label to be miss-applied.
Most of the time when either I or my friends are called pretentious it's because my/their personalities can be over the top and too flamboyant. That combined with the fact that people seem to be intimidated about our body of musical knowledge I guess just rubs them the wrong way.
We can get a bit annoying at times, admittedly. <__<

8bit's main argument for Tupac's music being bad appears to be that he just doesn't like it. I think that supports Nolan's definition quite well.

Tupac is bad and you should feel bad for liking him.

No thanks.

belittling someone for their preferences is different than saying something is bad just cuz.

Regardless, I got what I asked for afterwards.

hahah.

*reserves post space for actual thoughts about Tupak*


*goes to get chinese food*

Okay I'm back.

this song gave me goosebumps.



there is absolutely no rap or hip-hop on my iPod and this song will probably make me buy some 2-pac this week.

PS: Snow_storm introduced me to this song. (thanks bro.)

Something I did with Tupac's "Still Ballin" and a cartoon song
