      yeah sure and that's true, but at the same time doing something once doesnt make you that thing. like russ, thought he could get out rapped by a bunch of legends on a little 5 song EP & then go back to his regular shit and thought everyone was gonna treat him like an emcee now lol. it doesnt matter though cause Pac is possibly the greatest rapper ever and if hes not hes right there, he doesnt need to be super lyrical. but yeah when I first heard this song I was like "Ooooooooooohhh!!!"

      @@darkskinwhite I agree, but at least it shows that he is capable. However lyricism was never the reason why Pac is widely accepted as one of the greatest of all time. It was his charisma and message. In fact I think if he had been focused on being lyrical all the time, he wouldn’t be able to touch and affect as many people and in the way that he did. He was relatable and had the charisma of a leader, that’s why people gravitate towards him. And also in my opinion, lyricism isn’t only confined to metaphors, multi-syllables, etc.; being poetic is also a form of lyricism and Pac was always a poet. So he was a lyricist in my eye in that sense, but for other people who view being lyrical as rhyme patterns, multi-syllables, etc., I point them to this song as to say Pac can do that too.

      To be honest. Pac was very capable of being extremely lyrical, he just never really showed it. Probably cus it wasn't his preferred rap style. I recommend checking out a track called Representin for Ron G. It was recorded right before he got shot at quad in 94 (first shooting in NY.) His verse is lyrical and extremely haunting. You'll see why. The track features Stretch, keith murray and some other dude I forgot the name of
