I like 2PAC and Nas the most. But i wonder what their live was(is)...from 2PAC`s lyrics is obvious that his "mamma" did not like him and that he had to survive,and the best way to do it was rapping.
But what about Nas?

Tupac's mum was a criminal. He himself faced numerous sexual charges. His father was a Black Panther who was sentenced to 60 years for a fatal car bombing. despite this, his music was some of the best I heard. Let's hope he's living the good life on his island in Hawai

??What? AFAIK he died in 1996...maybe his found peace in Thugz Mansion

1.) His mother was part of the Black Panther movement but not overly criminal AFAIK.
2.) He cast her out of his life when she became an addict (crack IIRC) and took her back some years later.
3.) He was himself charged with numerous criminal offenses and even jailed. He was the first jailed man to have a #1 hit at the time of his imprisonement.
4.) He was shot four times on Sept. 7th and died from the wounds on Friday 13th September 1996.

5.) I don't like rap too much therefore I don't like his music but he's one of the few rappers I can take without getting a headache.

So what about Nas?
