    Lol silly you.........

    He sat at a function and listened to some speakers then talked about uplifting then right afterwards he went at the same "brothers" he wanted to help. Went at his brother over a lie and after knowing the truth he still went at his "brother" regardless of all that.





    Musically Cube>>>>>>>>>>>Pac

    no need to waste time debatin this. There is a reason why pac music is being studied in urban schools and colleges and why u find murals of pac worldwide.

    Piggie will never match, never mind surpassin pacs legacy and his influence in black music. He had that panther blood, he was raised around afeni, mutulu and assata who instilled black panther ideologies in him when growin up. we love cube, public enemy and them but Pac had that warrior spirit that hiphop will never witness again. he is hiphops muhammad ali[/quote]


    Lol what does 1,2,3 and 5 have to do with anything musically?

    Sit your do nothing wannabe militant ass down.

    Biggie is in the GOAT conversation cause of his influence, flow, and ability to ? on any artist verse by verse, line by line.

    Jay Z is my pick for GOAT, same like biggie except he has wack verses and is alive.

    While 2Pac is in my top 5, you speak of him as if he was damn near black jesus lol.

    This is always for debate because there is no right answer and it's opinion.

    Jay-Z
    I'm wondering do ? not mention Jay because it is such an obvious choice, or are dudes just hating? I'd like to know what y'all think constitutes someone being named the GOAT, and then explaining why Jay doesn't epitomize it. Jay is the GOAT in my eyes but honestly, the only other people that should even be mentioned is Nas and Big. Period

    Numbers 1,2,3, & 5 have absolutely nothing to do with hip hop music who cares

    Only thing tupakk did was give young ? 's the confidence to rock nose rings,leather vests and participate in ballet or be bacc up dancers who can do the humpty dance better than the originator.Pac groupies consistently talk about everything but his music.That's how you know he sucks and will never be the goat.Jigga,Nasir,Biggie,Cube,Sha stimuli,Ghostface,Raekwon,Fif,Rakim,Big Pun,Krs one>>>>>tupakk

    Tupac Shakur
    PAC

    Supreme ideology, you claim to hold
    Claimin that we all drug dealers with empty souls
    That used to tempt me to roll, commit to violence
    In the midst of an act of war, witnesses left silent
    Shatter, black talon style, thoughts I throw
    It remains in your brain then of course it grows
    Maybe, even your babies can produce and rise
    Picture a life where black babies can survive past five
    But we must have hope, quotin the reverand from the pulpit
    Refuse to turn the other cheek we must defeat the evil culprit
    Lace me with words of destruction and I'll explode
    but supply me with the will to survive, and watch the world grow
    This ain't bout talkin bout problems, I bring solutions
    Where's the restitution, stipulated through the constitution
    You violated, now I'm back to haunt your nights
    Listen to the screams, of the lives you sacrificed
    And in case you don't know, ghetto born black seeds still grow
    We comin back, for everything you owe

    sorry NaS

    Is there a reason why Ice Cube is always overlooked when 2Pac is mentioned?
    Isn't his career just as similar (impact/movies/classics/winning epic beefs) as Pacs?
    Didn't he have a GOAT run while blueprinting the West.... kind of like Biggie did for NY?

    Dying is the best promo for any artist.Ice cube didn't get shot up and die like tupakk .Cube is a living legend

    Cube has a better catalog,better movies,more substance,better conscious tracks,is a better role model and better lyricist & storyteller than pac but since he didn't die people don't recognize his impact.He is a way better mc than pac ever was

    Less commercial emcees and more elite emcees please. Y'all letting record sales cloud your judgement... most of the people listed aren't anywhere near my top 10.

    Nas was the easy choice.

    My vote? All of those artist are GOATs. Hall of Fame list. (Yes, Even Kanye' should stay).
    If anything, this list is on point on who should even be considered.

    I just can't think "Of All Time" when the majority of the list is still living.. right now, all of their careers are intertwined with each other.

    I could say Nas is the GOAT, but i know Jay-Z and Kanye both released better albums then him in the last 10 years.

    I could say Kanye, but Eminem from the early 00's would tear him apart rapping.

    I could say Eminem, but he has the same amount of classic solo LPS as 3000

    I could say 3000, but he hasn't even released a solo LP

    I could say Jay-Z, but Nas has been lyrically better then him since 96.

    Pac and Biggie cancel themselves out because Ice Cube's career don't get "benefit of the doubt" points.

    Cube basically lived both Pacs future life, and BIggies prime life at the same damn time.

    But Rakim is alive also, and has been mentioned as the GOAT longer then the whole list.

    This ? again? But for what it's worth I know a few west coast cats who think Cube > Pac. Had 3 Cali dudes at my last job that I hung w/ & all 3 said they know a lot of ppl back hone who would c/s that statement. They said Cube got more classics & a better overall catalogue. I was surprised myself.

    who cares what dudes put on the IC
    ask the whole USA and Nas might not even be top 5 right now.
    ? would put 2Chainz ahead of Nas outside the IC

    What they gon do'
    You got starch in your flow
    I flow too many ways, got a arch in my flow
    All sorts of flow, Rembrandt, Rilkey
    I am art with the flow
    Even if I'm filthy, you gotta pardon the flow
    ? taking it lightly, had to darken the flow
    Way I put it together, tear'em apart with the flow
    I'm too smart with the flow, you just started the flow
    Stop it youngin, you 106 & Park with the flow
    I am pro, as you see I'm off the charts with the flow
    Actually I'm number one on the charts with the flow
    In some places they say this, I am ? with the flow
    Like my office, but they're biased, too involved with the flow
    (Oh no) I am the youth spirit, I am y'all with the flow
    Troubled man, dare I say, I am Mar with the flow
    I come up hard but I evolve with the flow
    Crossover, slam dunk, Rucker Park with the flow
    -Jay-Z (What They Gonna Do)

    Nuff said......
