    very interesting. I love BTS never thought of doug as a great lyricist. By any stretch of the means he is not bad.

    Glad to see some love for him!

    good call on tupac. I hate it when people say he wasn't a good rapper. who gives a fuck? his lyrics were brilliant (even when he was being "gangsta") so what the hell does his technique have to do with anything? do people say dylan is shit because he can't sing?

    "Perhaps I was addicted to the dark side.
    Some where inside my childhood I witnessed my heart die
    And even though we both came from the same places,
    The money and the fame made us all change places
    How could it be through the misery that came to pass,
    The hard times can make a true friend afraid to ask
    For currency, but you could run to me when you need me
    I'll never leave honestly, someone to believe in"

    Yeah, special mention to Tupac (and Dr Dre when Tupac was around).

    When 50 Cent first came out (not in that way) he was being compared to Tupac..... i dont see how.

    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
