You like NYC hip-hop, but don't like all the NY'ers invading Orlando?lol

True, they died in the end. But with Pac, people think he got shot by Orlando Anderson(a crip). But anyway, Pacs album All Eyes On Me went like triple platinum, so it did kinda get them somewhere.

Like Masta Killah from the WU said, "the dumb are mostly intrigued by the drum."
True, true. But honestly, if you wanna look at from THAT standpoint, Pac had deeper songs then any of these artist(with the exception of NAS, and the WU). Any 13yr old can rap about money, hoes, and clothes also.

No, that wasnt me, you're just running off at the mouth again before knowing what you're talking about, a common theme. I know plenty about hip hop. Just because I dont agree with you, doesnt mean I dont know about hip hop; what are you like 15 yrs old?
