He was a poor poet in YOUR eyes. But in all honesty. Your opinions suck, and it's always the same stuff, over and over. You don't like him all that much, fair play, its your opinion. But don't come on here and think you know what's what.
Yes, he's a poor poet in my eyes & my judgement is made using a simple criteria, one which is by no means the be all & end all but one which allows me to conclude that Tupac didn't produce great poetry.
My opinions suck? A foolish thing to say.
I don't like him? Tupac? Here you go again. I have actually explained my stance to you before & will not veer off topic here by going into it. And if you actually understood what I have said in this thread, there is every indication that I have no problem with Tupac whatsoever.
Why not come on here & voice my opinion? You are no position to tell me what I can or cannot do.

Its like, in my eyes. I think you are a clown.
That is fair enough, the truth is foolish to the fool.

And as for fans recognising him after his death. The man sold 6 million records, when rap wasn't even huge, like it is now, accross other countries. How many rappers a year, die? How many get heard after there death? Hardly any.
Why bring up a point which I've already addressed & has been buried for a minute now?
When I made a brief mention of the number of posthumous fans Tupac garnered, it was in response to another poster dismisses the works of certain philosophers because their work wasn't fully recognized until after their death.
And again, I haven't downplayed any of Tupac's work as a rap artist in this thread so you should really stop acting like I did.

You just pick at everything, then you twist shit and put it in your OWN words.
And? Am I not allowed to paraphrase? And show me where I paraphrased with negative intent if that is what you're getting at.

For a man who has inspired most of the rappers out there right now, basically means that your opinion means nothing, and as for your, "intelligence" on this matter. I see no intelligence at all from you.
Read what I've said 4 or 5 times in this thread already. I have not downplayed Tupac's abilities or influence as a rap artist so people should stop bringing it up.
As for my "intelligence"? What are you talking about? Like I said before to the other guy, I'm not the one who keeps bringing up my intellect. Why do you do this when it is irrelevant to the thread?

You are just a hater to the fans, and to everyone who supports and likes Tupac's work. Quit down talking the fans with your "amazing" opinions and go else where if you do not like it. You always have to somehow degrade these fans. And don't say, "oh its my opinion, etc", because you never really say anything great on here. You might aswell stick to the Streethop part and stay there.
Bullshit.
I stated earlier that I hate Tupac's fans. When I say this I am talking about fans like yourself - irrational, blinkered & incomprehensable at times.
I don't hate every fan & I certainly don't hate "everyone who supports and likes Tupac's work".
Once again, just like the other guys in this thread, you take exception to me. I never said anything about how my opinions were "amazing" but it is obviously on your mind.
"degrade these fans"? On the contrary, I keep my posts amicable. It is
you & others who try to degrade me with petty name-calling &/or lying.
I never really say anything "great", eh? I was not aware there was a prerequisite to post. To be honest, I've never saw anyone post anything "great". But need I remind you that you are not the gatekeeper ? You have no power over what I say or do on this messageboard so stop making your little demands.
