I agree, but you have to admit that "I'm gonna kill you" is a little different coming from Death Row records. I listen to Nas et al in a different way than I listen to Westside Connection nah mean.
I think Pac is underrated as a lyricist, but his appeal isn't lyrical I don't think. He's a larger than life persona, and what always connected with me was his unflinching honesty and openness, not so much any type of lyrical flare.
