Pac or BIG

[NeonAtron]

Normaly when I ask this question to people they say Pac, but why? Dont get me wrong, I love Pac but I also love Biggie. So whats the deal? Does Biggie not measure up somehow? I would call it a tie; but if i had to choose or die....mmmmm..........Biggie (only because his rap style resembles mine). Speak your mind.

Edit* lol, just noticed all the rhymes in that post.

I just plain could not get into any of big's songs, even all his hits, i dont know, Tupac just had better shit...plain and simple, i could listen to an entire Tupac CD all the way through without skipping a track, but biggie just never had anything that i wanted to hear like pac did.

Pac has a better flow to his songs then BIG. BIG was a more layed back type of rapper while Pac was more of a gangster rapper and more agressive. Just my 2 cents.

Pac is one of the greatest rappers..... cause of his energy, voice, carisma(sp) not because of his skills on the mic

Biggie is NO QUESTION a better rapper/lyricist than pac.... pacs rhymes were simple yet effective. But biggie had more complex rhymes, better metafors and multiple rhymes. If you listen to some biggie songs he paints a picture in your head, you can SEE what he's talkin about like its a movie. Pac was never that descriptive


and i totally disagree with you Josh... i love pac and i have all of his CDs. BUT every Pac album has a couple songs that are trash, he doesnt have albums that i can play through without skipping except for maybe 7 day theory.

Now if you listen to Ready To Die, Pac NEVER made an album that calibur.... every single song is crazy, its a true classic album. The difference is Pac has WAY more songs, so he has alotta trash and alotta good songs. While biggie has a bigger percentage of hot songs imo


Simply put,
Pac is the type of rapper to rhyme simple shit like cat, hat, bat
while BIGs rhymes are more complex

I like Biggie more because he has more substance to his shit, plus his beats are sick,

but I reckon Big L should be in the mix, equally as dope as them

BIG has more substance? No way, if really read into Pac's lyrics and the true meaning behind them all, including all of his poetry Pac is extremely deep. I always knew he had a strong message behind his music, but I was unaware of how powerful the lyrics were until i saw Tupac Resurrection. I really recommend the movie to anyone, really, b/c it shows the side of Pac that wasnt shown in the media.

Personally its 2pac for me. Biggies no doubt one of the greatest, and hes a close second to pac for me. But as mentioned in eariler posts, Pac has deeper rhymes and their not all just about the gangs etc. Theirs some songs that are all about the struggle, for example Changes. Also if you've never heard the song "Staring through my rearview" then i suggest you listen to it, it has such a deep meaning behind it.

Biggie is no doubt a better lyricist, freestyler etc. But he just doesnt have the same substance in his songs as pac does. Well to me he doenst anyways. Hes damn good obviously, but pac is just one baby step higher if you ask me...

Tupac is more than just a person who can say a few words that rhyme and make it into a song.... He wrote about all the struggles of his life in his songs, listen to the song Only God Can Judge Me, the lyrics in that song flow so well together you can't help but think the man's a lyrical genius, and the vocabulary he uses in a lot of his songs shows he was as smart as his songs sounded.

You couldn't have said it any better! You cant ACTUALLY LISTEN to BIG's songs and not say he's one of the best rappers of all time. download "what's beef".

Fuck both of them. Rakim takes over the mic...hands down

Anyways both have different styles. Its not whos better than who...which style you prefer. Lyrically speaking..Tupac is off. Biggie has quite a few dope lyrics.

Big L is OK in lyrics but hes definitely not on top...i only liked his second album.

Indonesian: Written and performed by Stuhby, there's more to the song but that part is the basis of the whole song so....


[translation]
Hundreds of Thousands of faces
Standing hungry in the streets
What's written in future (destiny)?
Who's bad karma/vibes has hurt them
(This line is very hard to translate exactly)
Recognize their eyes
Two symbols of jealousy
Led by hate and anger
Fueled by false hopes of riches

are you sure thats indonesian?

Because i only understand punjabi/hindi, and i could basicaly understand everything that was said.

[-Josh-]

That's probably what i meant, i dont know what the hell i'm talking about half the time when it comes to foreign languages. All i know is Stuhby's parent's are from India, and he was born and raised in America, and that he read, writes, and speaks 3 different languages. So your most likely right.
