There's no question that Tupac's debut album in 1991 was the best album ever made in history, but it was not well received. Most said it was too militant or revolutionary. Others said other things to discredit Tupac. 2Pacalypse Now didn't just change rap, it changed everything. Hip hop was going mainstream, and the big question was which way should we take hip hop? The next year, 92, the rap game took a strong turn towards gangster rap, so Tupac next album, "strictly" was the birth of RBG.
Tupac was always urged to dumb his music down for mass appeal, but he resisted.
I wonder about people critical of 2pacalypse Now. Did they really get that album? People have accused Pac of not being lyrical since the beginning, but listening to any of his albums prove that wrong immediately. Tupac often turned books, movies or news stories into songs.
This documentary mentions the book, but they tell the story of the Jackson brothers from the mainstream media perspective.
Tupac's "Soulja Story" was a song written from the brothers perspective.
His voice is "screwed" for the older brothers voice...
Think about this song and how it came out in 1991. He says "93" in this song in a way that makes people think he wrote it in 93, but this song was released in 1991 on his debut album.
Think about this next time someone says Pac wasn't lyrical... He didn't make music for you people on the wrong side of THE STRUGGLE or the Drug War.
Plain and simple.
If you were not on this album in 91, you're an illuminati puppet at best or a straight up uncle Rukus, maybe you're not black or brown, so maybe we can excuse you for not believing what black and brown people were saying about the racist drug war and police brutality in the 80s and 90s.
If you say Pac was garbage, but Biggie, Jay (hova) Z or m&m were better than Pac, I want you to explain how a person that doesn't hate God, The Bible, black and brown people could say that. All three encouraged drug use and selling
