2Pac's Stepbrother Exposes What New Rappers Can Learn From Tupac Shakur

"Dear Mama" is an example of a well-written SONG...
Anybody can rap and put words together...
That's one thing new artist can take away... they're not giving record deals for freestyling... they're giving deals to songwriters."

In this clip, Mopreme Shakur - step-brother of Tupac Shakur - gives us an underrated but VITAL aspect to study when learning how to write a rap song like 2Pac.
As RUclips’s #1 most subscribed channel on learning the science of how to rap, we have a lot of catch phrases we like to give our audience in order to help them better understand how to write a rap song.
One of our most enduring mottos is: the full song is the currency of the music industry.
What we mean by this is whether it’s a fan on the street who will spend their entire savings on every new project you release or it’s a power music industry insider who wants to put you on the game…
…The truth is rap artists are judged by their ability to create full songs with concepts, catchy choruses, and memorable phrases more than just their ability to “spit a couple witty bars”.
Mopreme pointed this out in the previous quote, and we can see this exemplified not only by songs like “Dear Mama” that Mopreme talked about…
…But take a second to think of 2Pac’s most iconic tracks. “Changes”. “California Love”. “Keep Ya Head Up”. “Hit ‘Em Up”. “I Ain’t Mad At Ya”, and so on.
Every single one of them has a specific concept (such as “I Ain’t Mad At Ya” or “California Love”), a simple repeatable phrase (do you have any trouble remembering what “California Love” or “Changes” is about?), and step #2:
#2 Deliver On The “Promise” Of The Song Concept

I love when an artist has a wordplay, an emotion, a rime, great producing and composing, not everyone can do that and i am tired of people acting like they can. I want to be like tupac

No doubt... storytelling is alot more meaningful. That's how I always looked at R.ythem A.nd P.oetry 💯

Honestly it's one of the reasons why I think Tupac is a legend. He wasn't obsessed with speed. He cared more about the message.
Of course his flow wasn't shit either. His flow was phenomenal.
Also I'm pretty sure Tupac was the one to innovate the singing flow too as some of his choruses are really melodic, though not full on singing though, it's pretty close.
