    Is there a reason why Ice Cube is always overlooked when 2Pac and Biggie is mentioned?
    Isn't his career just as similar (impact/movies/classics/winning epic beefs) as Pacs?
    Didn't he have a GOAT run while blueprinting the West.... kind of like Biggie did for NY?


    This is a legitimate question, because I wasn't coherent in those days.
    Thats probably why i feel Nas and Jay are waaaaaaaaaaaaay better then their predecessors.

    I rock rhymes for your pleasure,
    You listen at your leisure.
    I only record it once,
    You listen to it forever.

    (Poet Laureate Infinity, Vocal 5)

    Line for line, not many can match him.

    Pac was the GOAT til Nas dropped Life Is Good. When your greatness spreads out 3 decades, you gotta be in contention.

    Cube is why I never name Pac in my top 5. To me Cube is/was a way better rapper and actor than Pac. His music had more of a message to it and he all around better albums. Hell he dropped 3-4 classics back to back. I was actually surprised not seeing him left off the voting.


    Cube>>>>>>>Pac in all things music related

    Cube cant do this

    this is why cube will never touch Pac

    Actions>>>>>Words

    Tupakk screaming at some ymca blacc power pep rally means nothin since he acted like a ? and perpetuated ignorance/stereotypes

    Death Certificate>>>>>>>>Any album tupakk ever made.Cubevision is a blacc owned company that employs blaccs something tupakk could never do cuz he was too busy spittin at cameras,getting shot/pistol whooped and goin to court for rapin our beautiful blacc sistas.Fucc tupakk and everything that non rappin willie lynch disciple stood for

    Us,Endangered species,true to the game>>>>Any conscious song tupakk ever made

    "Dead rappers get better promotion" - Jada

    Big and Pac died at the peak of their careers, and at the peak of hip hop in the mainstream. And since they had beef, they will always be coupled together. As far as Cube goes, he didn't release an album in 5 years since Lethal Injection. During that gap, Big, Pac, and a whole bunch of future GOATs blew up. That took attention away from Cube at the moment, and you know how fickle people's memory and attention spans are. All that being said, aside from their record sales, Cube had a better 3-4 year span, and released more classics during that time.

    Eminem lyrics >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> kanye lyrics
    you cant be that horrible a rapper and be a considered a goat

    Too bad none of Em's albums match up to Kanye's albums.

    You can rhyme words with "orange" all day long, but if you don't got the body of work to back up whatever skills you have then what's the point?

    Em ain't no GOAT, but he is wildly overrated.

    Oh yeah, Kanye's production >>>>>>> Em's production.

    em has three good albums kanye has three good albums gradution and 808 are both trash
