Eminem is a very good rapper, but as I always say, his music to me is boring. Relapse + Recovery, well the names speak for the albums. They are dark beats about non-descriptive "problems" for the wannabe troubled kids of today to listen to and think "Hey, I relate because my mom and dad faught last week". These days, Eminem spits either that, or stupid pop songs. In the old days, he did punchlines (no place in rap for me) or songs that I just flat out never liked to listen to. Stan + Lose Yourself are two of the greatest rap songs of all time in my opinion though.
2Pac on the other hand, was much more versatile. To me, he covers any mood to listen to music.
Sentimental - Keep Your Head Up, Baby Dont Cry, How Long Will They Mourne Me...
Thugging - Troublesome, Hit Em Up, Hell For A Hustler...
Chilling - California Love, To Live and Die In LA, N.I.G.G.A...
Political - Changes, Letter to the President...
Obviously loads more of each too.
