I love Pac as a lyricist, I don't think he gets enough credit definitely but I rate Nas as one of the best lyricists though. I know Pac was extremely intelligent and had a great vocab but did he use that consistently in his music?

I don't find Nas' rhymes predictable, I don't know what he's gonna say sometimes, I think he uses obscure words and different rhymes.

so im going to assume u know what a rhyme pattern is

ok nas uses the abab format for his rhyme schemes most of the time

and yes pac did have alot of rhymes in all of his verses he ever spit


Why explain the game? nikkas ain't listenin.
Stuck in positions. If victims can't stand the heat,
Then stay the fukk out the kitchen.
Have these bustas switchin, lookin at me mean.
Itchin, givin suckas plenty space.
Have these bytch nikkas snitchin.
Where are we now? Guns found daily.
The feds surely hope that they could finally nail me for sellin dope.
They backwards, make tracks burst whenever I rap.
Attack. Words bein known to explode on contact.
Extreme at times. Blinded by my passion and fury.
Look at me laugh at my competition's flashin my jewelry.
You'd stay silent if you nikkas knew me. Truely effective.
The shyt you heard ain't do me justice. Got a death wish, bytch.
Run up, face me and trace wit an infared beam.
It seems nikkas ain't recognize my team.

Ain't nobody holdin you back. Explode the track to confetti.
Unload it. Cuz nikkas ain't ready. The life of an outlaw.

as u can see the multisyllable rhymes

plain rhymes with game and games rhymes with ain't not perfectly
but it works in pac's accent

so i would mark those rhymes as aaa those are internal rhymes
then he uses two multisyllable rhyme scheme setups

with these two lines

Stuck in positions.
fukk out the kitchen.

stuck rhymes with fukk and sit rhymes kitch so i would mark those down as bcbc

so the rhyme scheme in those three lines looks like this aaabcbc

that is a complex rhyme scheme and a different pattern then nas shyt imo

to me nas don't have a more complex patternn then that

Lyrically, flow wise, delivery, voice, concepts, classic songs, classic albums, beat selection, realness, makin shyt that nikkaz feel, all land in Pac's favor.

naS is the better story teller, but Pac gave us Brenda, Tear Drops and Closed Caskets, Soldier Story, Dopefiends Diner, Violent... I mean Pac wasnt as descriptive but his stories were quite compelling. While naS has "Rewind" an interesting concept, but the story was ass chips.

to me pac is the better lyricist pac wrote poetry so he knew about rhyme schemes line length metaphors wordplay and overall figurative language. so to me imo he was miles ahead of nas lyrically imo

like nas put to many syllables in his flow which is bad because it will take forever for you to get to the next line and also which i been studying is bpms and tempo which basically means the speed of the song.

pac rapped at faster bpms then nas also.

If Pac wins this he's probably the most popular rapper here.
naS has NEVER lost a poll on sohh or here... he has a lot of dikkriders with a lot of aliases each. Why? because naS stans are internet dudes who dont exist in the real world

I thought Undying Love was quite a compelling story.
It was, and I gava naS the nod over Pac in story telling

Pac winning by some way at the moment, unless Nas fights back he might lose this one.
