2Pac was better hands down. That's not questioning Biggie's talents-he was damn good. He was good at storytelling and had some really catchy tunes, but while Biggie spoke and never acted, Pac did. If you look at what happened in his life, you can see that he really was what he said. He never glorified the 'gangsta' life like other rappers now seem to love to do. He stood up against oppression, and if he wanted to say sometheing then he said it. He wanted to join Death Row, so he did. He wanted to leave the East Coast, so he did. You have to admire a man who doesn't let threats and bullets get in his way. He lived the life he wanted to live, and no-one changed him. That goes for his music. He rapped about things that were important to him, and not what were important to sell music. He did hate raps towards Biggie, hate raps towards Politics and raps about how black people were treated around the hood. He said things that were on the tip of everyone's tongue, but no-one said because they were afraid to. Biggie, meanwhile, did nothing anywhere near this influential. He was good, but not as good. And the poll results simply back up my statement.
