"Picture perfect, I paint a perfect picture" <--- he loved cramming in a bunch of the same consonant in a single line like that. Y'know?
or what about
"Don't trust my lady, cause she's a product of this poison
I'm hearin noises, think she fuckin all my boys, can't take no more
I'm fallin to the floor; beggin for the Lord to let me in
to Heaven's door -- shed so many tears"
^all in rapid delivery.

Is this what they teach in those non-science majors I've heard about?
Nah, I'm actually surprised. You're making me want to listen to 2pac, and I'm just not that big of a fan. Never been a hater, but I don't know where the few Pac albums I own are because I listen to them sooo infrequently.
Of course he blows many of his early-90s hip hop superstar brethren out of the fucking water when it comes to lyrics and flow, but as I said recently, the one album I really love through and through is The Don Killuminati. Hurt M-Badd's beats were so much more fitting for Pac's style than those handled by Dre.
Honestly I think it's the only 2pac album that feels like the work of a genius. If not for that record, Specifically "Hail Mary," I don't think I'd have much to say about Pac.
Then again if not for In Utero I don't think I'd still be on Kurt's dick 20 years later. *shrug*
