Hip-hop is about lyrics, not music, and both Prodigy and Nas are better lyricists than Pac.The reason Pac is more popular than Mobb Deep is because he was shot. He was a gangsta rapper, so there's no way he could be the best rapper, because gangsta rap sucks. Mobb Deep brought a fresh angle to gangsta rap, they told it like it is, and they didn't constantly fu'ck around calling themselves 'thugz' or 'pimpz' or 'Amerikaz most wanted' like Pac, Jay Z, DMX, 50 Cent and all the other gangsta rap b!tches. They were raw and honest.
Mobb Deep may be debateable, but there is no way on hell Pac is better than Deacon The Villian.
um, i didnt read all of dat, just up to tha '2pac got shot' bit...and yeah he prob did get more pop when he got shot...but not BECAUSE he got shot...he got a lot of publicity when he got shot, which made ppl know him....i didnt like pac till he got shot...but i dont like him coz he got shot...i just realised how good he waz then!!! pac rulz! hes like 30 or somethin an still hot!!!
