Tupac is pretty much put on a pedistal because he was a rapper with so much talent who died early in life.
The difference is that KRS and Tupac were both politically conscience intellectuals but on two different levels.
KRS is like the professor intellectual. Higher level of thinking. How can I say this... you may be like yeah I feel this, but its unless you have that certain knowledge that his lyrics had, you couldn't REALLY feel him at his level.
Pac on the other hand just keep it straight hood. Like the high school drop out on the corner selling drugs could feel him, wereas he might not truely relate KRS because his lyrics were a bit more politically advanced.
Keep Your Head Up and Brenda's Got A Baby in my opinion are probably two of Tupac's most intellectual songs.
Someone said it best on VH-1 about Tupac and the industry... The person brings the persona to life, but the persona takes the person away.
Just my opinion

How was Pac's style of lyrics any different from what NWA, Scarface, or even Too Short(As much as I really don't too much like him.) was saying at the time? I mean he wasn't saying nothing different from all of those names. I personally think Nas is more advanced lyrically than Pac and Nas came from the hood as well.
