People can argue that there may have been more lyrical rappers but definitely none more heartfelt, none more passionate, none who cared about his community as much, and none with more knowledge to drop. I for one knows that death is not the end. It is merely a doorway. Can you imagine the music Tupac is making now?

@gungrave02 The song opens with a Shakespeare quote (from Julius Caesar) the line that goes (roughly) a coward dies a thousand deaths, a soldier dies but once. The song then explains that while he has tried to live like a solider, fighting all his battles, etc, that he has actually been a coward, giving in to his greed for money and fame, and thus essentially suffered a thousand deaths, and isn't happy here. I found this use of double meaning quite spectacular lyrically. Takes some brilliance.
