Comparing Pac and Biggie is like comparing Spielberg and Tarantino

[Kogami]

mediocre mc's dont make classic albums. Pac dropped three consecutive classics



you can say you dont like him because he wasn't lyrical, but to discount his talents is ludicrous.

You could even argue he dropped four consecutive classics with that Thug Life album.

i can tell your a new nikka
cause there was several articles on him written by black real hip hop heads saying he was OK, good, slightly above average rapper which back then made one mediocre




it is, what it is

Far from a “new nikka”. Here’s another way for you to look at it.....

When Pac’s birthday rolls around, the whole world celebrates his life.

When Big’s birthday rolls around, New York City celebrates his life.

That’s the difference between the two.

I swear I’m so tired of you fukkin clowns

No one ever called Pac a great rapper till 5 years after he first dropped and started beefing with Biggie, an already recognized great emcee.
Pac needed hype and controversy to get recognition, alone as a rapper he was quite average.

 

[Calmye]

You don't necessarily need to be similar to be compared to each other.

They came through in the same era and both died before their time around the same time. Not to mentioned their careers intertwined together in several aspects, not just musically.

so comparing Apples and Oranges was legit all this time!?

I was gonna say something similar. Pac was a good rapper (I use Clark Kent’s definition) but I think some really need to keep it a buck & realize he didn’t go plat till the Quad incident & when he started beefing with Big. And that’s not taking anything away from MAGT because it’s a classic & to me his best album & my personal favorite from him

Pac was not a mediocre rapper. He is the GOAT

 

[Benefited]

all of those articles were written before he dropped me against the world, an undisputed classic. If articles were written about Jay back when he was rapping like the fu shickens he wouldn't have been called great. Being a late bloomer doesnt discount your greatness in your prime.

Exactly,especially when Pac and Jay didn't have super producers handing them hits and structuring their albums.

Pac was not a mediocre rapper. He is the GOAT

No one ever said Nas is mediocre, or Jay, or Cube, or Big, or Ra, or Kane or G Rap and even Ghost yet 2Pac name has that constantly hanging over his head

Any thread somebody talks about Pac, he knows there will be talk about BIG, so he tries to come into the threads setting "facts" straight.

End of the day, Hes mad they got statues and classes on Pac while all B iggie got was a tribute song.

Nah, homie

i only respond to false accusations
see you love pac (and thats all good- i gots no problem with that) the problem i do have is when you & others simply allow posters to say shyt that just not true that slander biggie name

like the poster i checked who posted
pac made biggie bigger by beefing with him

when you damn sure know thats complete BULLshyt
cause biggie was a platinum selling rapper before pac was AND before pac beefed with him

 

[kingofnyc]

Dre and kanye dont write their own lyrics but they arent mediocre. And bukshot was dope.

Dre & Kanye wrote some of their raps
Buckshot was mediocre for that era he came out in

I got love for both Pac and Big as RAPPERS.

Thats where it ends.

Yet what I dont like are people trying to gloss over the genuine love Pac had for BIG and people like you laud of BIGS relationship as "industry" which clearly, was more than that.

There are things Pac said about BIg whereas the ONLY person to refute them ARE YOU.

at you moving the goalpost


are we talking hip hop MC’ing or a popularity contest ???

 

[Omar Little]

I feel like people say Pac is the GOAT cause thats what theyre told.


Bar for Bar, lyric for lyric, Pac aint cracking top 20

 

[50CentStan]

Skillfully biggie is the greatest. Pac is the greatest character in hip hop but musically kill yourself if u think he was ever even close to being as good as BIG
