2Pac vs. Biggie

Biggie=king of rap.

That's going a little overboard. I would agree that he was better than Pac, but I wouldn't go nearly as far as to say that he is even the best mainstream rapper, let alone the king of rap. Someone like Nas, or A Tribe Called Quest, would by much more worthy of such a title.

A Tribe Called Quest is the king of rap?

I think big's is the ****.

Someone's gotta show me some good pac, I heard All Eyes On Me is good. has some famous producers on it..

I'm not the one to direct anyone about where to go with 2pac. Personally, I like Me Against the World best. But overall, I don't like 2pac or Biggie very much at all.

Well, Kings. Name me a mainstream hip hop group, or single hip hop artist, that has remained nearly as consistent as ATCQ. They created two of the greatest hip hop albums of all time, Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders.

I like Instinctive Travels more than either of those, as good as they all are.

And relax, I was just giving you a hard time.

Public Enemy, Aceyalone, Outkast, Wu-Tang Clan (including their solo work), Atmosphere, De La Soul, El-P, Aesop Rock, MF DOOM, J Dilla, Masta Ace.

I can agree with quite a few of those.

It was just an assumption for reassurance on my part, you didn't seem offended.

lyrically biggie was better but neither of them were great lyricists by any stretch of the imagination. I prefer tupac simply because despite all of his gangster tracks he was quite politically minded and rapped about things that mattered as well. Where as 99.9% of biggies music was the same **** that was being pushed out by every other gangster rapper.

And Tupac's pseudo liberalism was not spewing out the mouth of 80% of every other rapper of his time?

Yes but not nearly as much as gangster rap. No idea is original it's how you say it that makes it unique. Also Tupac wasn't just all talk like most rappers. He was an active member of the black panther party. And not forgetting that he was a poet as well as a rapper. Plus he was a reasonably successful actor. He was an all-round better entertainer than biggy.
