Question: Who has influenced more: 2pac or Rakim!?
Answers:
this question is somewhat vague!. by vague, i mean, as far as influiencing what!? nonetheless, i will take a stab at it!. in my attempts to answer yo question, plz forgive any mispelled words or grammatical errors, my sole purpose is to write how i feel and not to write a dissertation for the harvard school of law!. pac really influenced the game, to me, from a political aspect!. in some of his lyrics he brought to the forefront, police brutality, corruption in the justice system, rogue cops, so on and so forth!. pac kept it real to breathing lyrics that pertained to real life affairs!. like brenda's got a baby, or dear mama!. he talked about a myriad of different thangs that was happenin in d hood!. gangbangin, pimpin, crack smokin, everythang u can think of that was happening in our hoods!. so i commend pac for keeping thangs so real!. but now when we talk about rakim, we talkin about a whole new flavor that rakim added to the rap game!. earlier rappers like kurtis blow, sugar hill gang, don't get me wrong, were rap greats and pioneers of this lovely thang called rap, but some of their lyrics you could tell what the next hook would be!. example: my name is kurtis blow, for the sucker mc's don't know, i hang with joe!. but rakim added a flavor and a style so sweet, you really didn't know what he would say next!. ex: "i ain't no joke, i used to let the mic smoke, now slammin it when i'm done to make sure its broke!." otha hits were, i know i got soul, and i gets paid!. his style was so complex using similes and metaphors!. man this guy was a beast when he first hit the rap scene!. this cat was so unpredictable!. people were like, man who are these cats, eric b!. & rakim!? so i would say from a lyrical standpoint, rakim had the most influence on how rappers were rappin!. rakim brought the game to a whole new level!. after they heard these guys, other rappers started following suit!. right around the same time, kool moe d!. jumped out the bag!. his style was a spin off of what rakim was doin!. since 86 or 87 until now, rappers have been following suit!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
just cuz someone doesnt listen to someone doesnt mean they havent influnced at all
and rakim did influence pac
but overall, tupac is the most influential rapper ever, he blew up hip hop music to global proportions, rakim influnced it from behind the lines!. i think the second most influential is either biggie or rakim
but yeah tupac was more influential, but rakim was definitly the better MC overall!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
