05. 2Pac
Though slightly over-rated as a lyricist, 2Pac is the name that comes to any non-hip hop fan's mind when you ask them who their favourite rapper is. The reason is simple, 2Pac addressed every issue that it's possible to address and influenced every rap star out today. Me Against The World is his finest work, followed by All Eyez On Me. 2Pac has the greatest number of "classic" songs, 'Dear Mama' is a masterpiece, 'Changes' is the song that most fans have as their number 1 of all-time, Keep Ya Head Up is one of the most uplifting tunes I've ever heard, Brenda's Got A Baby is a fine example of good storytelling and I Ain't Mad Atcha is a brilliant retrospect on life in the 'hood. The list goes on. It's just a shame his career is somewhat tarnished by ludicrous conspiracy theories and constant attempts at resurrecting his music by putting acapellas on new beats by Eminem and other producers.
