Tupac or Biggie

mlmpetert · 10-29-2010, 03:30 PM

One of the most hotly contested questions of all time. 2 people died (allegedly) over it. No matter if youre a rap fan or not you have to give them credit as 2 people who are regularly credited as the very best at what they did.

I think Tupac was (is) better by far. In my opinion one of the greatest singers and writers of all time no matter the genre of music. Biggie on the other hand had songs that sounded good, but didn’t have nearly as much substance to them.

So do you prefer to Hit Em Up or Party and Bullshit?

This is like Manning or Brady. Hard to go wrong with either one.

Biggie hands down...Ready to Die is probably top 5 rap albums all time

SmootSmack · 10-29-2010, 03:42 PM

I would lean toward Biggie, but I like Tupac's stuff too. Even when he was with Digital Underground

hooskins · 10-29-2010, 03:43 PM

Big. Although I like Tu.

They were both great in their own right. Why do we have to choose?

hooskins · 10-29-2010, 03:54 PM

You don't have to choose, but if you do prefer one which one?

I prefer Party and Bullshit in the USA.

BleedBurgundy · 10-29-2010, 03:57 PM

is it 1996?

hooskins · 10-29-2010, 04:07 PM

Tupac is still alive.

No comparison...Pac by a landslide. Biggie never sang about anything worth caring about.

I suppose...if you don't care about a man who was once so poor he could never picture Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis but rose to the ranks of some who would sip champagne when he was thirs-tay

Pac.

Biggie, all day. I'm more of a form-over-content type of listener, anyway. Give me delivery and wordplay over some dude spitting about something complex without any semblance of flow (the latter doesn't include Pac, btw). And Biggie had flow for days. Plus in a battle, Biggie would tear Pac a new one 10 times out of 10. Improv is one of the true marks of an emcee, imo.

Bruised up from the pistol whipping
Webs on the neck from the necklace stripping
Then I'm dipping up the block and I'm robbing bitches too
Up the herring bones and bamboos
I wouldn't give a **** if you're pregnant
Give me the baby rings and the #1 MOM pendant

The #1 Mom pendant! Shit was cake in 94.

But I will say that Pac definitely had the larger cultural impact... they even had a class on him at Berkeley, I think. Dude was a talented writer.

MTK · 10-29-2010, 04:34 PM

Biggie. East Coast.

I love both but I gotta go with Pac. It's a damn shame it had to go to that. Both were better than pretty much everybody today, as much as I like Lil' Wayne and Eminem I still think Biggie and Pac had a bigger impact and were better without a doubt.
