How you gonna drop knowledge and seem so focused, but in the next second, all you can talk about is money, murder, and sleeping with people's wives (referring to the alleged Faith Evans incident).

But again, I'm not trying to persuade anyone to like Tupac the way that I do. I mean, I'm openly admit I'm biased. But, at the same time, I'm not unreasonable. I said, top three, not number #1 MC of all time.
Um, 'cause he was in his early 20s. Who has it all figured out then. I'm not making excuses, I'm just saying. Too me, Tupac symbolizes a lot of the young brothas in the streets who are trying to figure things out. They are trying to figure out things and make sense of the world around them, but they get caught up in the glamour of quick money and good times. A lot of them die before they have the chance to reach their full potential.
Considering his age, educational background, associations, and upbringings, Tupac developed into a very interesting individual. Tupac was an enigma. He was a rapper, a poet, an actor. I mean, when he was ten someone asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up and he said, "A revolutionary." He identified with Vincent Van Gogh, and admired
A Starry Night.
Again, he was spoke about people and things that other rappers were not really touching on. Again, I did not put him in the same category as a KRS-1 or Chuck D.
**How can you compare Tupac to NWA???**
