i'd say it really depends, Tupac's lyrics had alot more meaning behind them but Kid Cudi's music has a more modern, feel good sound to it. All in all, I'd probably ski and such to Kid Cudi but that's just my personal preference.
2pac poetry (I know some of you don't know much about 2pac outside the charismatic outspoken rapper he was or his mainstream media image but the man was brilliant & truly genuine in his intentions to shed light on corruption and uplift those in struggle):
In the event of my Demise by TupacIn the event of my Demise
when my heart can beat no more
I Hope I Die For A Principle
or A Belief that I had Lived 4
I will die Before My Time
Because I feel the shadow's Depth
so much I wanted 2 accomplish
before I reached my Death
I have come 2 grips with the possibility
and wiped the last tear from My eyes
I Loved All who were Positive
In the event of my Demise
Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.
Some of you probably just listen to the music without understanding the depth of the lyrics and story behind it's true meaning but trust me man was brilliant and deep!
tupac is the history and cudi is the future. i live in the foothills of colorado 2-3 hours from all the slopes, so when i drive up, i listen to nearly all kid cudi in the car, but nearly all gangster stuff and more tupac when im ridin
One of my favorite poems. Here is another great one:
The Power of a Smile
The power of a gun can kill
and the power of fire can burn
the power of wind can chill
and the power of a mind can learn
the power of anger can rage
inside until it tears u apart
but the power of a smile
especially yours can heal a frozen heart
