THUG LIFE

                ITS A THUG LIFE

I had to pick this question for me there is no doubt in  my mind that 2-PAC is and was one of the best rappers of his time. Regretably he is no longer in our presence for us to be blessed with his lryics.

Bringing about this question why do rappers feud about who is the best?

Well in my eyes they are caught up in these "fake persona's" of a "gangsta or thug." Since these artist's usually have a life of their own that does not invole or pertain any aspect of their career, there is nothing else's for them to fued about. The only thing left is who is better.

For 2-PAC it went to far. The argument. Now he is dead all because one record label was mad about lryics that another artist used to describe them. You see they had a “persona” that they needed to keep up with, they were “gangters” you see. So they went out and di I guess what they thought “Gangsta” would do now the world is less to brillant rappers, 2-PAC and Biggie Smalls.

Another Artist that I want to give recognition is Eminem, as I have reconzed him before. He is great. I can not say that I like all of the things that comes out of this guys mouth however I can say that everything that comes out of his mouth is put together beautifully. Eminem’s ability to rap is far beyound any thing I have every heard before. I truly believe that for Marshall Matters to rap on a calibur as he does takes a great deal of education. His ability demonstrates how brillant he is. It takes true knowledge of the vocabulary to be able to manipulate it in such a way that he does. Think about it is almost as if he cruses you out and then you you say thank you.

Although as I mentioned in prvious paragraphs that I felt 2-PAC is one of the best rapers of his time, he is however if he were around today and rap was based soley on ability rather than image and “fake persona” he in my opinion would not hold a flame to Eminem. I’m sure this has made 2-PAC fans very angry just remember this is my opinion.

Another Artist that I feel is good is DA-BRAT. She really helped put women rapers on the map. She came outin the early 80’s with something to prove. She hit the charts and captured the audience with her rat a tat tat hit. She somewhat came across like a male Snoop Dog. She hasn’t been around recently only in Mariah Carey’s Gliter music video did she get a small window to perform. Woman rapers I feel have to work harder than the men because the image is harder for them to capture. It’s easier to take the simple apporch like Salt n Pepper or T.L.C. they were noted for their vocal ability and there sexy image but in both groups their was the rapper.
