west coast......Ice Cube vs Pac?

[DrunkerThanAMotherfucker]

Easily Ice Cube.


He wrote the rhymes that defined gangsta rap. When you think about, Cube was the mastermind behind NWA and it showed when he left and blew up nationally to become the most popular rapper in the early 1990s.

The gangsta image in rap was perfected by Ice Cube and then he took a step further by incorporating social conscious themes in his music.

Hell, I'd say Pac was a carbon copy of Ice Cube, and did with half the genius and artistry. Pac had hits, but was he really an innovator?

Cube was technically the better emcee, no doubt.

Pac was definitely influenced heavily by Cube early on, but in terms of versatility, he surpassed Cube.

Both are legends though.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

This is a tough decision Cube is great, but Pac has the slight edge over Cube.

 

[hiphopfanatic]

Both are two of my favorite artists ever. But, 2Pac IS my favorite artist ever above every other artist ever, so I have to go with 2Pac.

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

Ice is highly slept on when u think about how much Pac is talked about of being the GOAT West Coast rapper. Obviously Pac's beef & death really increased his legend. Cube is up there but I always connected more with Pac's music.

 

[MR. Conclusion]

Pac was great. Cube was a MONSTER. Cube was the most successful hardcore dude ever in terms of socio-political rap. When you listened to a Cube tape your mind is just sitting there doing this the whole time like "Did he just say that?" "How's he still alive?".

Pac probably had more talent. There's no need to compare because they are both legends, and honestly it is impossible.
