Lil Wayne > 2pac..
There has been a battle of the two emcees since Lil Wayne broke into the industry before he was even considered a rapper (when he was in the rap group The Hot Boyz). But over the time that Wayne has been walking amongst us in this industry a lot of people have accused him of trying to take the place of one of the greatest rappers.. PERIOD;
That is.. 2pac Shakur. 2pac, who came into this music world and changed our warped perceptions on how rap music can be viewed; Left us all in a dark spot when he was murdered on September 13, 1996 while coming back from a Mike Tyson fight with Death Row label mate Suge Knight. Some would say that Pac's death was reliant on him being involved in the "East Coast vs West Coast" feud that ultimately claimed rapper Notorious BIG's life a year later in '97, Pac's music is still relevant.. even today.. even with rappers like Lil Wayne and his Young Money squad creepin' on ah come up.
While some think that 2pac's music was mediocre and of no real substance and was nothing but pure, vulgar and obscene trash that exploited women and talked about murdering his enemies and then even times when he looked into his own demise; his music was way more relevant and constructive than that. Yes, 2pac has been dead since 1996 and some people figure since he's been deceased for almost 14 years, we should automatically just embrace a new star and let them come in and fill in their place. But us 2pac fans already know.. PHAT CHANCE.
What 2pac did and can still do in death is a true sign of his larger than life force. According to a rare edition of XXL and Vibe magazine in 2010, 2pac STILL outsells Lil Wayne and Young Money COMBINED by over 6.3 million albums sold and song downloads via Rhapsody, Rapidshare, Youtube etc.
So for all the music fans, young and old tell me who do YOU think is truly the better rapper? 2pac or Lil Wayne? drop ya comments below..
