Guru Of Gangstarr5. Nasir Jonesand for the ignorant kid a hip hop head is virtually a person who listens to rap for the meaning and lyrics, bascially the opposite of that closet homo whos favorite rappers are t.i and chamillionaire</div>Shut the F*ck up.Tupac has alot more meaning behind his songs than most if these guys listed.I cannot believe you actually put Gangstarr ahead of Pac or even put Jay-Z over him for that matter.I am a Gangstarr fan but putting him and Jay Z over Pac is complete bullsh**.You didn't even list guys like biggie and Eazy E etc. I understand it's all in you opinion and that's fine but to go and say Tupac wasn't lyrically sound... what a jackass.Do you realize that 2pac sang all of his songs on accapella with out beats,and later added the beats to go along with the song.Tell me that these songs doesn't have any meaning and is pointless lyrically.. 2pac-Changeshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrEujGAL4ZM 2pac-Thugz Mansionhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cz_nOpxgCU
