Shouldn't be close. No disrespect to David Ruffin but 2Pac is the greatest of his genre.

The very first line of this should see Tupac through. The rest should see him in the semis.

They should teach this in primary school assembly. Far less offensive than the words we used to make up for We Three Kings of Orient anyway.

I like that he brings attention to the sickle cell problem, needs wider attention.

It's nearly as good as Eminem.

 

All jokes aside, it's absolutely astonishing. Four minutes of sheer hate, then 60 seconds of the most amazing rant. He means it, too.

Hmm.... Suge put him up to it all I reckon. Or got in his head about that first shooting in Manhattan.

There should be a rap tournament rather than pitching them in against traditional singers,its a whole different art form.

[Paul]

Tupac is wildly overrated and absolutely nowhere near being the greatest MC of all time. Not even in the conversation for me. 

[Lee909]

It's David Ruffin, I actually listen to him.

That’s what I was going to say. Probably gets the early death bonus. I preferred him as an actor.

[Elite]

Two pack for me

It's great to see American soul music finally represented in this tournament of best male solo artists from all over the world.

Apologies to the posters here who like the hippity-hoppity stuff, but David Ruffin for me.

[Pidge]

Hip hop works best from groups/partnerships for me, the greatest artist it's ever produced is the Rza. Never really got into Tupac at all. Think he's one of those artists whose fans always demanded reverence, which is a turn-off from the get go.

 

Voted for Ruffin.

Find Eminem and Biggie exactly the same.

Yeah, and for most people but a good song writer. Eminem best lyricist, Biggie best flow. Jay-Z in the mix. Nas. Rakim. 
 

Decent list here.

Paul and Pidge bang on the money. Hip-hop has been poorly represented in this tourney.
