Kevin Powell's original Rolling Stone obituary for him ^

Never my personal GOAT but a legend and an incredible force in the music to be for sure. Add on your thoughts about 2Pac in here. You can't front on his classics..

There is potential for a lot of bickering in this one. Let's try to keep it respectful. Maybe someone should start a PNB thread for the jokesters?

There are several colleges in my general vicinity who offer courses structured entirely around his lyrics. I'm sorry, and this is from a West Coaster, he is one of the most annoying rappers in history. "Hit 'Em Up" and some jamz from 2Pacalypse are all that matters.

Exactly!

But really I've been hating since forever and decided to check him out again with an open mind, just recently, while attempting to ignore my prejudices regarding him and his fans.

Hes fucking good, as long as he stays away from Dear Mama/Changes territory. Just wish he had decent beats more often than not.

I can appreciate his shit more now (after 2pacolypse Now and the shooting) that I'm not around so many muthafuckas that wanted to be like him. Nothing more annoying than 30 to 40 rappers around you that all jack his steez from the clothes to the voice to the tatoos to even the damn song titles. Made it hard for me to listen to Pac on the reg for a minute.

Quite the opposite of the story Pack told in an interview. He said that he was cued to start performing, and didn't realize that Tribe wasn't done accepting the award. But since Benzino is a relevant and stand up dude, it's go with his story and video, which corroborates nothing.
