I won't argue with anybody who puts Kanye or KL on Tupac's level.
Just not a fan of Ye. Even before he went crazy. Just never liked his sound. Original, yes. Creative, yes. Could tell a story and paint a picture through song lyrics like Tupac?
Not convinced he's on the same level. I'll admit to not listening to enough KL to say one way or the other, but what I've heard he's not bad.
But in my opinion, there's only one Tupac.
See the reply to Huff. The ability to tell a story through lyrics. And paint the mental image of what he's enduring or encountered.
Tupac was art honestly.

I know some song writers and listening to them it sounds like there are several in the country music world.
It just depends on what you like. Every rapper has strengths. Kanye's weakness is his vocal skill and that's of huge import to a lot of listeners. His strengths are all creative, which matters most to me.
I see where you're going with those but believe when most people think in terms of modern* rap it's inextricably tied to hip hop origins. Actually the rap portion of the aforementioned Rapture has the term hip hop in the lyrics.Bob Dylan, "Subterranean Homesick Blues"
Johnny Cash, "One Piece at a Time"
