Tupac's Do for Love, Dear Mama, and Heaven got a Ghetto were great without being over the top gangster. Nobody can produce like Dre anymore and there are a ton of no talent pieces of shit making money because dumb ****s will buy any music that makes them feel "street."

2pac was never about beats, quite frankly very few of his beats were bops, sans shit like California Love. And 2pac really needs to have his career divided into two: pre-getting shot, and post. Because his lyrical content changed dramatically after getting shot outside the studio.
All Eyez on Me and The 7-Day theory were nothing like 2pacalypse now and Me against the World.
And sorry, but i don't believe for a second that you've listened to enough modern rap to compare beats.
I love my 90's rap and still listen to it, but today's beats are better.
