    Yes there are peers of his that use a much larger vocabulary. He may have been one of those most “aware” artist about what’s going on in the streets and around the states. As well as about every other rapper that came from the streets. Street smart isn’t book, vocabulary smart. Huge difference. Come on guys lol Yes, tupac was one of the best at getting messages and his stories across, but he is just an average lyricist. Anyone who passed English composition 101 can tell you that.

    There's a lot more to intelligence than a big vocabulary for starters. It's not what makes a great lyricist either.

    But since we're here... Would you say that Kendrick Lamar has a bigger vocabulary than Tupac? Because we'd be splitting hairs there. He was more book smart than most of his peers. Like that's not really up for debate.
