Most Tragic Figure In Rap Music History?

[rapdonttweet]

2Pac? How could you leave him out. Grew up a mild mannered child with a passion for learning. Attended the Baltimore School for the Arts where he took theatre, jazz and ballet. Had the gift and the chance to be a successful rap artist that most people don't get. And then did a 180 with his personality, embraced a thuggish personality and got himself killed because of it.

Seriously how do you go from this:

to this:

It just doesn't happen. People are supposed to be acting thuggish at 17 and then growing up after that, not the other way around.

The Game, just think about all the millions he missed out on because of his ego

Seriously how do you go from this: 1988 - Tupac Interview at 17 Years Old - Part 1 - YouTube

to this: 2pac spitting - YouTube

If you look at where he grew up New York, Baltimore, and Oakland you can tell that he had already seen plenty of that lifestyle. Also his family was always into some crazy shyt. The subject matter didn't really change to much from the beginning of his career to the end. The biggest difference was as time went by his music became more personal.

Then you take into account all the people around him cheerleading that type of behavior and how that behavior made him famous and rich, he had no reason to stop acting like that.

Canibus should've been a rap god. Not the laughing stock he is today.

DMX. His book was depressing as hell.

I can relate to someone with low self esteem or drug problems...

However, i cant relate to someone with such a lack of discipline that they cant even put down the twinkies. Its survival of the fittest, not the fattest and Big Pun was a fat lazy fukk. They probably needed a casket that would fit 5 normal sized people in it

Chuck Hamilton. Easy.

I never understood how someone can get so fat. I'm kinda chubby. I don't eat that much but I drink a lot of beer so that's made me put on the pounds.

But getting that fat is just ridiculous. I mean, what the f*ck are u eating to get so big?

But Pun had a really rough childhood and at times didn't know where his next meal was gonna come from so once he got a little money and security he started eating like crazy. Some people use food for comfort so I guess that was his deal.

Has to be X man, hands down.

I remember in 7th-8th grade DMX was always in rotation (even later on in high school)

Little white and Vietnamese kids were running around singing the Ruff Ryders anthem. Motherfukker had bangers and classics on deck.

X kept getting bigger and bigger in terms and fame (album sales included) & even crossed over into acting successfully.

Dude was on the road to becoming a icon (he still is to me) and then boom shyt went all bad.

Sucks to see him in his current state.
