Re: Tupac
His first few records were excellent. Once he got himself enslaved by Shug, the quality of his records dropped a lot. He was just churning out factory line music.
Also- the fact that he built this entire persona around his thug image, and wasn't a thug at all is bothersome. Not atypical in hip-hop in the least, but it got old when after his death everybody pointed to it as some logical conclusion of his "thug life".
I don't hate him by any means, but I think that he often rates FAR too high in people's lists of top MCs.
