I’ve written before that I never feel whiter or older than when I listen to a rap album considered one of the all-time greats.
I gave it another shot with Tupac Shakur’s 1995 Me Against the World, but again I’m coming up empty. Despite critical raves calling this one of the best rap records of all time, I find it rather corny and repetitive.
Tupac Shakur recorded for just five years, but the influence and popularity he demonstrated in that short time was enough to make him a first ballot inductee in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Tupac is one of seven rap acts in the Rock Hall, and the best-selling artist of them all. Next year, Eminem and Jay-Z will be eligible for inclusion, and I’ll be surprised if they don’t make it in on their first shot, given their massive sales and influence.
