    from someone who stopped being into hip hop just before tupac made it big...

    i think it was a case of him being the first good looking, charismatic, could hold a conversation gangsta artist. at the time, west coast rap was huge, and everyone was into the gangsta shit. but they all had bad attitudes, wore black, dissed women, dissed whitey, and weren't exactly handsome. tupac came out and actually came across well on tv and in mags (it's all relative) but could still put across the west coast rap/gangsta stuff.

    before him, to look good and get your pic on a teenage girls wall with your top off, you had to be LL.

    it's my opinion like.
