Biggie is not a great or one of the greatest ever. That' a slap to 2 Pac's face.

[Verstyle]

And to all those saying Biggie was better lyrically? Yeah he was. I said that in my FIRST post. "as in solid lyrical I'd give it to Biggie" Biggie had a better flow. But tell me this isn't true.

Tupac (West Coast, Conscious, Political, Gangster, G-Funk)

Biggie (East Coast, Mafioso, Gangster)

If you went away for 2 years in prison or deployed and could only listen to 1 greatest hits album. 2 Pac or Biggie's.Which would you choose?

Pac is versatile in his song choices, he explores out the box and has a little of everything. He touched on all subjects and not limiting himself to gangsta rap only.

[Verstyle]

That kinda goes out the window when you no longer exist. Tyson is the best example of a would of, could of and should of.

50 has made it, he don't need to make music any more.

50 was an example only if he had died afterwards. I was referring to what the poster said about what if Biggie was shyt after those albums. We don't know.

Track listing

Tupacs greatest hits cd is a joke to me, leaving off most/many of his good cuts.

ghost
uppercut
ghetto gospel
loyal to the game
hellrazor
hell 4 a hustla
gotta survive(young lays song...but tupac kills it)
resist the temptation
who do you love
soldier like me
secretz of war
ballad of a dead soldier

etc.


Also, long kiss goodnight, whats beef, spit your game and hold ya head should be on biggies list.

Biggie lyrically destroys 2-Pac.

2-Pac was more charismatic and that was his attraction.

This pretty much sums it it for me.

Practically what I said besides not thinking of him as a great.

tbh, if i had only listened to eithers 'greatest hits' cd, i wouldnt really be a fan of neither.

Biggie may be better lyrically, but there is so much more to rap than lyrics imo. Both are good in their own right.

With that said, is it unanimous that nas is better than both lyrically?

[alza1988]

Tupac's the best for me .Tbh though i'm not that hardcore into rap music but the one biggie tune and vid I like is this one .

I grew up with Pac, will always be partial to Pac... but I rock with both of them... just depends on my mood.
