DO U THINK THERE WILL EVER BE ANOTHER 2PAC IN THE INDUSTRY??

I THINK PACS "GROWTH" HAD TO DO WITH HIS ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES. PLUS,HIS AGE PLAYED A BIG FACTOR.PAC EVEN SAID HIMSELF,HE WAS BORN INTO THE PANTHER MOVEMENT AND THEN BECAME PART OF THE GANG AND THUG LIFE. ITS THE OTHER WAY AROUND FOR MOST YOUNG BLACC MEN FROM THE HOOD.I KNOW PPL WHO GREW UP WITH HIM SO IN NO WAY DO I FEEL HIS THUG LIFE WAS FAKE. HE BECAME A PRODUCT OF HIS ENVIRONMENT WHICH HAPPENS TO A LOT OF PPL WHO HAVE NO FATHERLY DIRECTION....BUT HIS MUSIC WAS RAW AND EXPLICIT FROM DAY 1 SO I BELIEVE IT WAS ABOUT WHAT WAS IN HIM,NOT WHAT WAS ON HIM.
Certain people have a strong spirit in them and PAC was one of those people. There is no way he could impact as many people across the world with his music if it wasn't authentic. MARVIN GAYE, STEVIE WONDER, ADELE, MICHAEL JACKSON, ARETHA FRANKLIN...I don't know what else to say about it

wtf? Really? Ask your favorite westcoast artist(s) how good it was when PAC was alive. He helped put $$$ in a lot of people pocket directly & indirectly. This dude didn't discriminate on any artist from any region. He did songs with artists from east to west to south to Midwest before it was popular. Before pro tools and all that emailing verses. PAC wasn't perfect but he was genuine and I'll accept that over any fraud any day
The Difference between Pac and Rappers is Pac was a Poet and a damn good one. So no I can't think of anybody that comes close to him today.

I DONT THINK HE WAS IN A POSITIVE INDUSTRY.....
ITS NOT LIKE HE WAS GOSPEL RAPPIN.....
HE WAS REALITY RAPPIN BUT THE PROBLEM IS, ITS ONLY A REALITY 4 CERTAIN KINDA PPL. MOST RAP FANS LIVE THE REALITY THRU THE MUSIC BUT HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING CLOSE 2 IT IN REAL LIFE SO THEY VIEW IT AS SOME SORT OF MOVIE PRODUCTION OR SOMETHING.

i disagree about mj
lets not forget about a man named kobe, who was able to do everything jordan did with even more range.
the media will have you think otherwise tho. jordan was great, no doubt. but he was propelled to superhuman like stature by media and marketing. he was david stern's cash-cow, and he came to the league in a day and age where marketing just began to take off..wheaties, gatorade, nike, space jam, etc...the general public was force-fed MJ until it was common notion that there was no one that could touch him, ever. reality is, there are about 10 GOATS who were all the best at what they did and are interchangeable with MJ, just didnt get the same push from the media+the league...lets not forget, David Stern made it so that you couldn't breathe on MJ without getting called for a foul. genius marketing, but don't be a sheep. elgin baylor, magic johnson, wilt chamberlain, larry bird, oscar robertson, kareem abdul-jabbar, etc can just as easily be argued as GOAT from a basketball purist stand-point as MJ.
as for 2Pac....unfuckwitable. any1 who says he's overrated doesn't understand the impact that 2pac had on rap music. shit, if he were alive today, i doubt if some of these weenies would even have a career.

U could say the same u said about mj about pac tho, the public was led to think nobody could touch him after he got shot and lived, and he got plenty of push from the media whether it was promotion of music videos for the soundtracks of his own movies or the negative media attention which helped his portrayal of being a badass
