2Pac vs. Biggie (lyrics, hip-hop, album, Cobain, Nirvana)

'Pac, but biggie had greater flow imo.

Id say 2Pac but Im no big expert or big fan. Me Against the World is a great, sensitive record and I think its a shame that the way he's been portrayed since his death tends to focus on the thug s*** exclusively. Id say the guy was a big heart really.

I like both, but I'd go 2pac who put out way more CD's
What did Biggie hav, 3? Ready to Die was awesome, but if u go by content of their lyrics then 2pac was definitely the smarter guy, w/ lots of worldy concern.

biggie hands down for me. Pacs lyrics were too much of the average "east side vs west side" stuff i had heard of plenty. And mabey its just because im sick of seeing 12 year old white kids with tupac shirts.

Biggie managed to incorporate a little better story element in his music, and he was just a better lyricists then tupac.

Pac hands down. i agree that Biggie was the better storyteller and i like those kind of tracks but lyricaly 2Pac IMO. he could also tell a good story in some of his tracks.

so? thats just because its cool to like him. T-shirts and merchandise with his face on it sell out. Heard the new track "pacs life" with t.i and ashanti? that was just to get in on the success.
Just because he was in the top ten doesn't make him special, Smells like teen spirit has been a hit since it was the early 90's are you gonna say nirvana is the best?
I wish more modern hip-hop fans would try going farther back then tupac

You all are to young to even know what your talking about.

Tupac has been in the top 10 for the past 10 years.

biggie made classics...tupac made some classics but the rest was album fillers.

Kurt_Cobain · 03-07-2007, 05:37 PM

Tupac was amazing. His rapping was clear, direct, and honest. He used lyrics that inspired, and used the most simple beats and music sometimes. He was no angel, but when he rapped it was like he was preaching. I miss him.
