2Pac vs. Biggie (lyrics, albums, Tupac, talented, 1996)

Sparky · 02-18-2007, 01:19 PM

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

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

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.

What you seem to be forgetting about 2pac is that when he came in the game, he talked about politics and society. Unfortunately, he became paranoid in his later raps, and used them to lash at, in what you would refer to as *gangsta rap*. Heck, I'd probably be paranoid to if there was a price on my head, and I'd already been shot in the head.

Kurt_Cobain · 03-07-2007, 05:17 PM

What's that gotta do with is rapping skills. And I take it you're referring to 'Only god can judge me' which was allot more 'f*ck you all* than *run and hide*
Oh and 'Changes' was relased after he died, not exactly lashing out

If you knew a lot about 2pac, you'd know that his whole beef with biggie rooted from the first time he got shot in the head outside a recording studio, when he was laying on the ground bleeding, one of the guys trying to help him was in Biggie's posse. 2pac was in a confused state, ya know, just being shot in the head, and immediately placed the blame on Biggie, and so thereafter he was paranoid that Biggie was trying to kill him, and obviously you can hear that in his later raps, and it explains his entire beef w/ him, whether it was justified or not.
