I was never a massive fan his music... although I'm a fan of the man himself, I think he would have achieved great things outside his music career had he lived longer.
Musically, the man for me is a good example of an emcee that gets labelled as an "amazing lyricist" due to content and concept alone. Talk about something "deep" and make your political opinions rhyme and suddenly you're an amazing lyricist... that bit doesn't work for me.
Cencept should be thrown out the window (when judging someone as a "lyricist"), it's the style of lyricism that makes someone an amazing lyricist in my eyes. Tupac was like many other far too literal lyricists, there was too much focus on getting a point across, no poetry. It's like spelling everything out for dumb people.
The concept's still important of course, 9 times out of 10 someone's favourite track is their favourite track because they can relate to it in some way, not because of how it's worded.
Asside from that, style, flow, voice (can't underestimate that... listen to Guru!), originality... Tupac was seriously lacking. He was never gonna get a mention mate, he wouldn't even be in my top 15/20.
