You know, I hear a lot of people saying "eminem is the white 2pac" yada, yada, yada. NO, I don't agree with that, because while Eminem is a MUCH MORE SUPERIOR LYRICIST than Pac, Pac had more passion in his vocals.
HOWEVER, Eminem and 2pac, if you honestly look at both of their lives, they have A LOT of shit in common.
2pac: Biological father abanonded him early in life
Eminem: Biological father abandoned him early in life.
2pac: Raised by a single mother addicted to crack
Eminem: Raised by a single mother addicted to pills.
2pac: moved around a lot as a kid.
Eminem: Moved around a lot as a kid.
2pac: Admitted that he was bullied a lot in his childhood years for being "light skinned" and a "pretty boy"
Eminem: Admitted that he was bullied a lot in his childhood years for being much smaller than the other kids.
2pac: Used his fame to put his "lil homies" up in the rap game (first Thug Life, then Outlawz)
Eminem: Used his fame to put D12 on.
2pac: Became the best selling rap artist of all time and was the top rapper in the country, probably the world from 94-96/97
Emime: Has become the THIRD best selling rap artist of all time and is at the top rapper in the country AND the world right now, and has been for the past 2 years.
