Lol, thanks Heatfan, I was gonna make the point about NY State of Mind being all around the best song ever. From Premo's insane beat to the amazing lyrics, you can't really argue against it. Nas has got Illmatic, far and away the best album of all time. I am, The Lost Tapes, and Stillmatic were all classic's as well. Then Nastrodamus, Streets Disciple, God's Son, and It Was Written were all more than solid. And his new upcoming album, Hip Hop Is Dead, I have a leaked track off of it, Where Yall At, and the guy can still make great music. I'm not really sure how you can argue Pac being better than Nas. Lol RashadMcCants said Eazy E was better than Nas. Thats a big f*cking joke I hope..
Tupac didnt "inspire millions of people" until after his death LakersFanhe didnt even live in California..he lived in New York & Baltimore his whole lifei dont get how people can say he was the realest dude ever when he repped a state he wasnt even from?
Tupac for the simple reason that he was not only a rapper, but a poet. And he could write a club song and make it great and he can diss someone and it'll be great, he was great no matter what the song. Him and Biggie are the best ever and nobody will reach them ever in my opinion. R.I.P. to both.

I really like the Thugz Mansion acoustic with 2pac and Nas.Has anyone heard the Changes remix with the "Ill be Missing You" tune but the Changes lyrics...if not I recommend you listen to it because it's one amazing song. So Sick ft. 2pac is also amazing but it's short but I usually listen to remixes or unreleased tracks because Ambitionz as a Ridah,Changes,All Eyez on Me, and all his big tracks are over played.</div>Dude cmon, I listen to Eazy E and love his music but he is still no where near Nas or 2pac's level.

Tupac did live in Califronia....He moved from New York to Baltimore then he moved to Marin City when he was 16. Marin City is in Oakland in the Oakland area.
Well maybe I went over the top stating that Eazy E was better than Nas but you can compare DMX to Nas.
