@samwise862 This is my opinion, most old school rap is the bomb. I was born in the 70s and my mom is from Philly so I remember when rap was just coming out. Even as a kid in elementary school I though rap was great. But, now I would say 90% is horrible, sell out music with no real message like it had in the beginning. But, that could be said for most mainstream music these days.

@morphinlounge101 I was born in the 70s, so there was a time when I thought rap was actually good and meant something. But, now 90% is garbage. I would go see my black brothers playing this stuff any day and it's sad how most don't go for this type of stuff and leave it to us (I'm Oglalla Sioux). I would like to see them participate in the music they helped create because even more that rap, rock and blue changed the course of music around the world in my opinion.

His voice is like black coffee and battery acid. I love it.

after reading a couple of comments i'd like to say that... rap can't compare to this no matter what rappers you compare this to. This music is as natural as speaking. One person can make it powerful using passion and talent... rap seems to attract ppl with swearing insults and trying to be as bad as possible. Right now lil wayne is probs the best rapper cuz he's very natural but without autotune ... its pretty bad. This from a 15 yr old (if that makes a diff)

@samwise862 Yeah man, I totally agree. But Tupac and his contemporaries were something awesome, those rappers are very rare these days. Most of today "rap scene" is just engineered, no real talent or skill. Just put enough naked women in their videos and it's done. It's an industry (even they call it that - music industry). We need real talents doing all kinds of music. Looks or money should not be determining the success of someone as a musician or rapper, but their skills. No skill - no rap.
