2pac

I think that 2pac the rapper was good but 2 pac the poet was awesome. The poems that he wrote were so deep. some put life in perspective. so what do you guys think about 2pac..... good or bad?

I agree in both accounts, but I believe songs are poems, but put to music. Like poetry, some songs are bad and some are good. But yes,that book of writing by 2pac, the rose that grew from conrete orwhatever the name is, is very good.

Yea thats the name of it. I can relate to alot of his poems and its like in the poem if hes writing about something hurt for you can actually feel what he was feeling. I liked him and emily Dickenson. she was good too!

so does any one else like him?

i like him

*jackie*

I liked him WAY better as a poet than I did as a rapper. I feel that Tupac has some really amazing and totally original quotes and that is part of the reason his spirit wil continue to live on.

Tupac was good with words. He was very talented. I agree with the above post. I seemed to like him better as a poet than a rapper, though his raps sometimes felt like poetry. I would say musical lyrics is another form of poetry and he did such a good job in his book, The Rose that Grew From the Concrete. Rest in Peace.

i never even knew he was a poet, does anyone know where i could find some?
thanks a bunch.

I have a book that was written by one of his former love interests...It has a lot of the original poetry that they wrote back and forth to each other while they were in jail. It was very interesting, and showed a compassionate side of him thats rarely seen. And it's got some nice naughty parts in it

He is definetly up there when it comes to modern day poetry. I have always loved his music but his poetry is so amazing. "In The Event of My Demise" is my favourite piece...

I believe that Tupac was the most amazing poet of all times and he was a really good rapper as well.. He was just really good at anything he set his mind to, but the poet was more deep
