myself, i based my choice on more than just music though...tupac would not only still be relevant in rap music today (i mean, he's been dead almost 13 years and he's still relevant)...but i honestly believe tupac would've won oscars for his acting ability....****, we might've been talking about tupac the mayor or governor...he was just that kind of once in a lifetime talent & personality...some will shrug at me and say i'm crazy, but other's know i'm not exaggerating at all

Very good post. The man was simply a legend in poetry and acting. He is my favorite rapper of all time and with that being said I have always looked up to the guy. His music is so powerful, his lyrics can connect with anyone. Young, Old, White, Black etc. It doesn't matter. He can connect with you and get his story across with anyone - that is why he is the best ever in the rap game.
