This is absolutely true.

However...

Many MC's >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all of those.

Also true.

ALSO FUCKING TRUE!

:laughing:

Also, Nas is the answer to the original question.

sooooooo friggin true, I got into a facebook arguement about this. They are great but as time goes on people get better. Thats like saying a person who was said to be best basketball player of all time 60 years ago still is. We are told that Nas, Jay Z, Biggie and Pac are the best rappers ever and thats it. Its so bad that people be saying that they were the best and they know like one song and it would be there most sucsessful one....

Jay-Z better than 2Pac? No chance.

EDIT - Raw skills then Biggie is better than 2Pac but 2Pac made better music. And was better with lyrics (his poetry showed imo.)

Biggie could never write something like this:

And as for Jay-Z...

Jay-Z is only better than him because Tupac is so unbelievably awful that it would be hard to be worse than him.

Haaaarsh but I kind of agree with the sentiment. Tupac is baseline average, Jay Z is an inch above that.

LOL I couldn't disagree more mate. Awful how?

If you truly believe Jay-Z is better than 2Pac I don't know what to say. How many Pac albums have you heard?

Dull. Uninteresting.

I don't think anyone need to listen to all of his albums as they are near enough the same, but probably 80% of them.
