Are rappers like Pac, Big L, Eazy E, and Biggie really considered great cuz of their talent?

and big l wasnt mistaken identity... didnt they shoot him cuz they couldnt find his brother?

Eazy E never was a rapper, he was business man. If it wasn't for him the west coast wouldn't be where they are today.

We gonna make it is a dope song and I distinctly remember that line because it's true, and to be honest I dont like any of those 3 much, Eazy-E was ahorrible lyricist, the only reason why I listen to him sometimes is because he's funny

Some believe it was because of mistaken identity but most believe that he got killed because of his brother's debts.

Thats what I remember hearing around when it happened.

I wouldnt hold Eazy in the same category as the others. Them others will be considered great because of the lyrical talent. But Eazy more so for hisbussiness savvy. He had one of the first sucessful indie labels and put LA on the map for good.
