Trent Reznor is easily one of the greatest musical artists around. I'm not a big fan of Burt, but you have to admit, the man has a TON of successful music to his name, and not a single song was a hit for Britney or NSync

I think 2pac played music but not as extensively as Reznor. Both had musical backgrounds though. Reznor played in his high school band starting out. 2pac went to this high school called the Baltimore School for the Arts where his majors were music, and acting with primarily an emphasis in writing (hence his poetry in early years propelled his sense of being a lyrical genious later in his career) But I can imagine if you're being a music major they teach you how to compose as well as play.
