Lol real talk.... I get why they comparing them both... But pac had so many real musicians behind his discography that helped get his emotions across.

Big up Johnny j and rip

DMX is equal at best if not slightly below Pac to me
They both had the lyrics that touched people because they were honest in their music about their flaws and vulnerable.

I can actually understand the comparisons. DMX had the drug demon and pac had the wanting to fit in and be accepted demon and both their demons killed them
I never saw Pac as simply someone who wanted to fit in. Dude was a natural leader. Pac’s thing was he had to be down with the street dudes because that was the way his message would ultimately get out to them (in his mind). His message of black unity would fall on deaf ears if he was talking the talk while living in some mansion away from nikkas. Another thing with Pac is that he was extremely loyal, which is why he rode so hard for those around him and felt animosity for those who crossed him. Also important to remember he had only been 25 for less than three months at the time he was killed. He didn’t have things figured out and was still learning.

Don’t know anyone realistically who thinks dmx better than pac :hubie:

But dmx in ‘98 was on the same level as Pac in ‘96 he was that hot that ain’t debatable
Both all eyes on me and Makaveli had better 1st week sales and California love and how do u want it went #1

X’s biggest single that year peaked at #39

X in 98 was white hot no doubt and up there with 96 Pac along with 93 snoop, 03 50 cent, 08 Wayne

The two number 1 albums in a year was a Pac accomplishment first before X did it in 98 as well.

I love them both tho

Leaders don't join a gang and start hustling backwards.
Even Ice T told him to chill with that shyt.
He had a compulsion to be down, because he was a follower naturally.
Loyal to a gang that he joined when he was what 23 or 24. SMH.
Stop it, we can be real about his failing.

outside of like 10 singles/songs (which are incredible), i always thought X's catalog is pretty weak. i could never get into his albums at all

but his top 10 songs is crazy :wow:

Right! Dude was naturally charismatic, radiant like star, fearless like a lion. That nikka was no follower. Just a little naive, but who wasn’t at that age? I damn sure was and thought I knew a lot more than I actually did.

joining a gang is literally follower behavior though, especially when you are already a superstar when you do it.
