Don't be ridiculous. I guess Gucci Mane and Soulja Boy and OJ Da Juiceman are better artists than Aceyalone or Aesop Rock because they're more talked about. Marketing has absolutely nothing to do with a rapper's skill; hip hop is an art first, not a product. Popularity is irrelevant.

Tupac commands your attention, but Ghost's shouting, relentless flow doesn't? Yeah right. Lyrics? Pac recycled a lot, and Ghost does not lack technical skill. Oh, and Ghostface Killah's imagery is fucking incredible, his narratives are some of the best around--his creative thinking exceeds Pac, undoubtedly.

Oh, Ghostface Killah has a much better body of work than Pac.
