Not my #1 PE song (maybe in my top 5 though), but a great video nonetheless.
Maybe not the best lyracist hands down, but definately the best song maker. People liked pac because his songs had meaning and you could really feel what he was trying to say. Dear momma, changes, starin through my rearview, life goes on, letter to my unborn child, etc are all classics.
As far as true lyracists go, some people won't agree/don't like his style, but as far as lyrics go and putting together the most complex syllables eminem is probably the best ever. /hate on
except for that dude he wants to be, Rakim. And others.
Except for pac and eminem share the 1 and 2 spots in all time record sales, despite both having relatively short careers. Eminems career kicked off in 99 with the Slim Shady lp and he retired in 04 with Encore. (which sucked terribly)
Tupac hit it big in 91 and was shot 5 years later. Pretty impressive to sell that many records while being in the limelight for such a short timespan.
After further thought, I'm going to back off my earlier statement of Pac being overrated.
Brenda's Got a Baby is probably the deepest song Pac ever wrote. It's got a pretty chilling ending when he finishes it off with the line "She's got a baby" after telling how Brenda's life fell apart.
I can't get into all the Pac stuff put out after his death. I love 2Pac's work too much for me to accept anything that he didn't have control over. I know 7-Day Theory came out posthumously, but it was like 2 months after his death and was pretty clearly his work first and foremost.
lol salt n pepper only has 1 hit on that list is a load of bs, whatever happened to "lets talk about sex"?
bone thungs and harmony - crossroads should be ranked higher imo....that was the song that probably made them well known.
That song gives me chills, just didn't add it to my list off the top of my head for some reason, but I agree it's a very deep song.
I have a question, who was actually in charge of producing pac's works that came out after he died?
i think his mom signed off on anything she could to make money off of it.
Insane freestyle
Best freestyle ever
Pretty sweet
I was about to post that exact song. I can't believe I missed the post.
A couple of other classics missing from the list:
Ghetto Bas
Uptown Anthem
i think tha liks need to be on that list somewhere too, can't pick just one song though:
tash is ridiculously underrated
I don't give a who your cousin used to
Cause I just wanna
Damn I wanna
Like a kung-fu flick
I stick you in the with a toothpick
Tell 'em Rick
"You hit 'em harder than a ing brick"
Likwit is my favorite from the Liks

Not top 100, but I've always loved this song by Mix-a-Lot
The beat they used on the remix for the video is much better than the one on the album too
LMAO! I forgot they edited out J-Ro's last verse on the radio edit of Make Room.
Jay Z at number 11 with hard knock life? Disgusting.
LOL, didn't even see "Get Ur Freak On," idiots.
And if they put Big Pun, they could've chosen a ing half-decent song from Capital Punishment.
