Compton's own YG has started some controversy. He opens up about his start in the game, and being the originator of the ? Movement. He emphasizes his youth fanbase and how it helped him to ultimately receive support from his idol, Snoop Dogg. In regards to his relationship with 50 and G-Unit, he explains how Lloyd Banks helped him out when a New York club wasn't having him.
On the topic of being lyrical versus making hits, YG explains that he's more focused on making hits then being considered a lyrical artist. He admits that he started rapping to get back at someone, but says that if he "wanted to be a lyrical artist he could be one". He also goes further saying Lil Wayne and Drake are lyrical, but Tupac Shakur wasn't lyrical and that "he just told the truth." Ms. Drama did the interview...now watch it.

Another ? artist using the "i Could be lyrical if i wanted to" excuse , nah u just wack and havent learned to deal with it.

he had a point until he admitted being the originator of the ? movement

Tupac wasn't lyrical, all he did was rhyme "enemies, centuries, memories, Hennessy & penitentiaries" ...

Tupac was "LYRICAL" he wasnt a rhmye smith.. So what.. he was an artist his strengths were making songs painting a picture.. he wasnt a MC. In that punchline sense.. thats just not what he did.
SO WHAT. -
just another clown trying to make a name off tupac. his wack ass single aint selling, so ne need his name out there. not surprising.
-
Pac wasn't lyrical, but THEE irony. This ? has the audacity?
-
I agree up until you said he wasn't an MC...
I think you check more boxes than not when it comes to his MC credentials...
charisma
energy
crowd control
story telling...

dead................wtf -
Oh hell nah. ? this whack ass, broke ass rapper.
I stopped this at 3:03 .. ? said "I'm doing this for money".
Not for the art. Not for the Fans. Not for the history, culture or legacy - The Money.
This is exactly why rapper career span is at 3 albums or less - ? 's looking at music as a 9 to 5 instead of making actual music.
Dude dissing Pac as well? Some rappers might not even feature with dude after that. How you diss your own regions Legend like that? -
im bout sick of ? that was barley outta grade school talkin bout pac like they know the first thing about that mans music.....

Don't get too worked up Ill. Listen to what you dealing with...

Real talk tho .. I know the West coast OG's aint feelin this ? .
Dude basically baited Pac's name out because he didn't want to name drop a current rappers name.
SMH .. -
pac did have one of the weakest pen games but in this generation he would still be above average

I disagree *MC The Rapper* lol -
Pac wasnt THE MOST lyrical ? by a mile. We know this by now, but he wasnt wack either. True he was no Nas or Canibus, but he was no Gucci Mane or Shawty Lo either. Furthermore I could respect the ? opinion if he was @ least a better lyricist than Pac himself, but he's not. I remember when Joe Budden said the same thing a while back. I can at least respect his opinion b/c he's a great lyricist in his own right.
