Tupac



The first rapper I'm going to talk about is Tupac. He is one of the biggest names in Hip-Hop and rap to this day. He has made one of the biggest impact's in rap ever. MTV ranked him number 2 of greatest MC's of All Time in 2005 and Rolling Stone ranked him number 86th on their list of Greatest Artists of All Time. "All Eyez on Me" was One of his greatest selling albums ever. Some of his other albums are "2Pacalypse Now," and "Me Against The World." Some of his songs from his albums "All Eyez on Me" are "Life Goes On," "Ambitions az a Ridah," "Only God Can Judge Me," "No More Pain," and " I Ain't Mad at Chu." Some of his other songs are "How Do U Want It," "Dear Mama," "Smile," "I Get Around," and "Keep Ya Head Up." The song "How Do U Want It" ft. K-Ci and JoJo was his number one selling song. It was one posted up on Billboard for 33 weeks. It peak date was July 6th, 1996. The song "Dear Mama" was his second top selling song according to Billboard. It was on the charts for 20 weeks. Tupac's biggest rivalry was Notorious B.I.G. It was a West Coast versus East Coast rivalry (Bad Boy Records versus Death Row Records). After Tupac got robbed and shot biggie made a song that talks about his shooting but the song doesn’t directly call out Pac. The song by Biggie that started the rivalry was "Who Shot Ya." Tupac then made a song called "Hit Em Up" as a response to Biggie's diss. This rivalry is known as one of the greatest rivalry in hip-hop/rap. Tupac soon died on September 13th, 1996.
