Championship Round: 2PAC vs. NAS

[Illeye buckmatic]

NaS and pac are the top 2 goats. Can't go wrong with either choice:escosalute:

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

Nas jotted that shyt down in a notepad over the course of 3 years.


Pac just stepped into the booth like and spit Me & My Girlfriend in 15 minutes....proceeded to record the whole Makaveli album in 3 days.


That shyt was imprinted on Pac's soul.He didn't have to sit in the studio for 6 months, brainstorming "smart/clever" shyt to say like most "artist".


Just hit it, head-on, and hash it out from the gut.


It was small fries for Pac....His table scraps gave birth to Jay & Beyonce being the "power couple" we know them as.

this is exactly why he is the goat and seperates him from the rest, who else in hip hop at the time could go and record arguably a top 5-10 album of all time in 3 days?

 

[Deucage]

No wrong answer here. Both are my 1A & 1B GOAT's. The poll only proved that these 2 are the GOAT's in this rap game.

Luv Nas.......but he not fukking with Pac.....


This lil nikka Nas think he live like me, talking about he took 5 and left the hospital just fine like me.........

That was the "OG Ether".......Pac

 

[RukahsLA]

2pac stans.


There's only one life, one love, so there can only be one king.....

Yea you and Nas both right.. Even Nas (he's Pac stan also) said himself ''KING PAC'' yesterday..

Escobar knows who's KING

'' I remember this night in NYC. Wow the times we live. Time is deep. Bless up brave one ! King Pac!!!''

For me it's Nas pretty easily. He's one of the few that defines what emcee is & really about. Subject matter, wordplay, & lyrical. Tupac touches on some of the aspects of an emcee but the gap widens a lot between them when it comes to wordplay & lyricism.

 

[Wacky D]

nas overrated on here

 

[Wacky D]

Also I feel like Illmatic is the best rap album for snobs and rap elites. It is a great album no doubt. But is it an organic classic? Reminds me of Kendrick albums. Great art but is it something that touches you instinctively.

That's a great four album run. Absolutely correct to include Thug Life, that album is masterful. No one does emotion as well as PAC.

illmatic was indeed organic.

All semantics aside, even without consideration that Tupac passed on at 25, Tupac's discography is levels above and beyond Nas in both consistency and depth. The quality of Tupac's catalog reaches a whole 'nother magnitude then the offerings of Nas.

From 1994 - 1996

- Thug Life: Volume 1
- Me Against the World
- All Eyez on Me
- The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory

^ during those two years alone, from 1994-1996 - he dropped four albums that were top to bottom (from start to finish) full of legendary tracks. Tupac's consistency beats Ray Allen at the free throw line.

Tupac is that 30 PPG scorer, even the latter portion of his posthumous catalog (which was misproduced) is like a 20 PPG "Floor Jordan" coming back with the Wizards - yet still leading his team. Nas is more like Karl Malone, he played longer but he was never putting up Jordan numbers

If you were to make a starting team of their best songs, with a depth chart (Madden style) -the second tier of Tupac's catalog is still above Nas, which means Tupac's team beats Nas with it's second and third stringers. Tupac by far has the greatest catalog in hip-hop, the offerings of Tupac's posthumous catalog beats Nas by a considerable margin

If you want a fair comparison on Tupac's catalog you need to look outside the genre of hip-hop, here album artists like Al Green, Marvin Gaye and The Beatles could give Tupac a run for his money. I'd say The Beatles beat out Tupac but you have to consider that all of Tupac's work was done during a 4 year period from 1992-1996, while The Beatles were basically around for most of the 60s

What do you consider the beatles best albums? Thought they were overrated. To be fair i havent heard much of their music.

That might be the closest poll ever lol. Nas better in every way possible (not really…song making wise and vocal presence/delivery is Pac over Nas, imo) but Pac my nig so I ain’t even mad,

 

[pauljerico]

One of my what ifs.. a diss record by Nas to 2pac on '96 ala Ether


if its vicious as Ether or more..I think opinions will switch from pac to nas
