The moment you've all been waiting for... Sitting at the number one spot is none other than the infamous Tupac Shakur. Tupac might not be the most lyrical or technical hip-hop artist to ever grace the planet but the way that his music impacted people is what makes him as special as he is to the hip-hop culture. Yes, Tupac did have misogynistic and violent lyrical content but with tracks like 'Brenda's Got A Baby', 'So Many Tears', and 'Dear Mama' he knew exactly what his people needed in order to make it another day.
We're all aware that Tupac is no longer with us after being shot several times in Las Vegas September of 1996. And it's amazing that someone with so much talent had so much influence on the world at just 25-years-old, we can only imagine what he would have been able to do today with more knowledge and experience under his belt but with Tupac being another sacrificial lamb to the realm of hip-hop, he will never be forgotten and will forever be a guide for all of us to live better lives. Rest well, Tupac Amaru Shakur.
