We will just have to agree to disagree. Now, I'm not coming from the perspective of the "clear people" who jocked him. Tupac was more than just a rapper. That's why I put him on a little higher pedestal than other rappers. Like, I think it's blasphemous to compare him to Biggie. That's like comparing apples and oranges. Pac had a political consciousness that his contemporaries didn't have. Not in the Chuck D kinda way, but the way that the guy who lives down the block from you views the world. I think he brought something different to the table. When I think about the contributions and influence of Tupac, I come from an academic point of view. But, I also remember me as a teenager watching the BET Show with Tonya Hart and listening to a 19-year old 2PAC speak. I remember thinking, "Dang, I've never seen ANYONE like him before!"
