I'd also add he has a cool voice, can flow, and ride beats and change it up very well too. His actual lyrics are alright, he's just not saying much though and it's all pretty cookie cutter type raps.
both 2Pac and his albums were some of the most overrated things in rap history.
2Pac was a pretty good rapper, nothing spectacular and his albums had way too many terrible features from his buddies that ruined a lot of songs.
It made me sick when all of a sudden people were like "2Pac is the greatest rapper ever" just because he died lol not a damn person would have ever called him the greatest rapper ever if he didn't die.

He was never the greatest, but he was un-reproducible. I think it was the passion and conviction that pac brought, that people confuse with technically a good rapper.
I'd honestly say maybe Old School Eminem was the best, his punchlines, and wordplay was crazy.
All Eyes on me was great.... no if ands or buts. The albums previous to that where just ok most the time.
I loaded proof's searching for jerry garcia after he died, I thought it was good. It was actually a lot better then I expected due to what I heard on Em and D12 albums. Had a more underground feel, not a eminem or D12 formula.

All Eyez... had some just turrible, really turrible songs though. Like this...
Yeah, double disc and 27 songs you are going to have some bad ones but there are quite a few on there even if most Pac fans don't want to admit it.
My favorite overall Pac album (I did like quite a few songs of his songs a lot over the years) would probably be Me Against the World even though that has some really bad songs too.
This will always be my favorite Pac song though, hands down, probably in my top 100 rap songs ever too for whatever the fuck that's worth...
