Count me as one who;s not a fan of Pac but understand the appeal. I turned 42 today so his music was really hot in my prime years. I liked him until he got under Death Row Records.
Hated west coast rap even though I'm in the west coast. That gangster rap was weak. While everyone was listening to Pac, i was listening to east coast rap (Jeru the Damaja, Black Moon, Smiff & Wessun, stuff like that). Only West coast hip hop i was listening to was Pharcyde, Souls of Mischief/Hieroglyphics, Alkaholiks. Good music.
Pac isn't in my top 25 but thats just personal preference.
Can't get into this new hip hop thats on now. Still go to the ones listed above, plus Common and the Roots.

People don't rate rappers within the same criterion. For some, technical aptitude may be most important. For others, the ability to touch your emotions and stimulate intellect may be more important. And there are people who value a balance of both.
So I don't believe in the terms "overrated" and "underrated" when it comes to rap because people aren't rating with the same scale.
That said...if you UNDERSTAND each scale, it shouldn't be hard to understand why millions of people consider Tupac to be one of the all time greats and/or arguably the greatest.

yeah i think pac is overrated and isnt top 5 , i dont listen to him , hes not one of my personal favs but hes one of the best ever.
same with basketball. i dont like lebron or his game, dont enjoy watching him but hes one of the greatest ever. theres a difference between favorite and best. currensy is one of my favorite rappers but i dont think hes one of the best ever.

90s baby here and I swear Pac super overrated. But he was groundbreaking and did a lot for rap at the time so he is appreciated.

I don't listen to him as much these days but between 2006-2011 that's basically all I listned to. I remember my freshman year of college he dropped a mixtape every month for like 6 months. And they were all dope.

Dudes making preference list not true Top MCs list. If we're judging rappers on the criteria listed Pac is easily top 10. I personally have him top 5
