Do you think 2pac, was one of the greatest poets of our time?

After growing up with his music, and studying his lyrics word for word,.I think people don't realize his genius. Ive studied many others, Lil Wayne and alot other rappers, are not poets or pocess any profound theories of a self conscious ideologies, such as Tupac,. He died at 25, and Shakespeare died at 51, catch my drift...This young man reached millions, with his brilliant delivery and story telling.
