Pac and Biggie had not even reached their primes yet

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

They died in their primes, they was gonna fall off like every other rapper.

Think about the best we've seen outside of these two... Did Rakim fall off musically & lyrical after two albums? What about Jay? Nas? Cube? Scarface? Ghost face?

I’d say pac was in it while Biggie was approaching like mentioned. Both had so much more to give

I have to find those books on Amazon, I bet the book broke down the science and different aspect on what makes an EMCEE.

And me being a student of Hip Hop and Emcee, all the great emcees are missing one or two things making them to be a truly complete Emcee

Pac had all of it but just missed one, but he didn't care because he was a Poet and wanted to reach his people, but when he got tired of People shyt and was like okay Muthafukkas, I'm going to show you, I was like here we go, He is truly on his way to set it in stone that he's the greatest ever.

One day I'm going to make a thread on it but booth nikkas get so childish at times and hate that having a great deep discussion on things of that nature turn to hating

pac always had "it" he never "missed one"

Pac showed lyricism and technical skills in verses he just never showered his verses with them. Like say a Nas or Jay or other lyrical focus nikkas are.

Pac has used similes, multis, etc throughout his songs

He just never cared to show how "lyrical miracle " he was.

Plus in regards to great poetic skills + wordplay. Pac had that way way before Makaveli

Listenen to "16 on Death Row" which has great storytelling + wordplay and was recorded 91-93

Makaveli period was him just more willing i would say to show his wordplay ability

Plus what u said also might have to do with it.

Listening to his verse on All Out, I think Pac was entering his prime before he died. That was the most lyrical I ever heard him.

I think the same goes for Biggie too. He was amazing on Victory.

Plus there is First to bomb, one nation verses, Still I ride outlaw verses etc.

And Lyrically 7DT songs Bomb first, Blasphemy and others are
