"My young homies stay strong,I wonder if you'll listen to a nikka when he gone are you still down"
I can't call Pac the G.O.A.T, for the same reason i can't call Biggie, Pun, or L the G.O.A.T.: because they were cut down in the prime of their careers. I guess the difference with Pac is he had a storied career before his death, and didnt just die before his second album came out, but after that 7 Day Theory album, who knows where he was gonna go from there....
I will pay my respects though, cause Pac did make "Me Against the World", which is in my top 5 Hip-Hop albums of all time.
I was at my desk at work today reciting Pac's verses to "Smile" in my head, not even realizing it's been 16 years since his death to this day.
Although that song was credited to Scarface, Pac owned that song with those two classic verses. That's not to speak lightly about Face either, one of the deepest artists ever. Pac was just on another level. R.I.P.
