2Pac or Biggie
Just want to see what other people think, my friend and I always argue who was better, and althoug there is no way to prove it because of it being prefrence, I have to say i think biggie is better, and was more talented lyrically.
my reasoning:
came out with 3 albums and was as popular if not more then 2pac
didn't even have to write lyrics down, just went in the studio, listened to the beat for like 5min and told them he was ready and would bust it out.
just listen to the lyrics, they are just more refined, flow better, and just give me a better picture in my head

Christ Groverat...gimme a break. Biggie and TuPac have made more of an offense to society than that picture...(which is easily accessible to via the internet).
If I posted Tupac's or Biggie's lyrics here would you censor that? Guess so...
But anywayz, Tupac is the greatest and no one can touch him. Biggie plain sucked.
I also don't think Biggie was all that talented. Tupac was a superior rapper.
And anyways...Tupac was the best...example...
God Bless The Dead
Rest in peace to my motha****a Biggie Smalls
That's right boy, it's goin on
Right here, Thug Life
God bless the dead
God bless the dead & buried nigga
Don't worry if you see God first tell Him shit got worse
I ain't mad, I know you're representin the crew
And I can picture you in Heaven with a blunt & a brew
**** the world, pain was a part of the game
If you a baller, money went as quick as it came
My role models gone or they locked in the pen
Straight hustlas, caught up in the whirlwind
The other day, I thought I seen my homeboy Biggie
Sayin shit don't stop, nigga, no pity
We all hoods, and all we ever had was dreams
Money makin motha****as plot scandalous schemes
In the gutter, you learn to have a criminal mind
I was addicted to tryin, never meant to do time
My epitaph will read "Was the last of Gs
Kicked the shit to make the white man bleed
God bless the dead"
[Chorus - 2pac:]
God bless the dead
God bless the dead
God bless the dead
[2pac:]
Man, ain't nobody promised me a thang
I been caught up in this game
Ever since I was a little mother****a wantin to hang
I can see 'em in my head, pow
Memories of my nigga but he dead now
Lookin back in my yearbook all the years took
Half my peers, they're stretched for years
And if I die will they all shed tears
Two to the dome, leave me alone, let me get my head clear
Paranoid got me lookin in the mirror
Behind me, life without my nine, I'd rather do the time
See I'm old enough to know that ain't no justice
**** the police & all the courts same way they ****ed us
And why the hell am I locked in jail
They let them white boys free, we be shocked as hell
In my mind I can see it comin
And all the time it's a plot to keep a nigga runnin
By keepin gun & never run unless I'm comin at ya
Cry later but for now let's enjoy the laughter
God bless the dead
[Chorus]
[2pac:]
Rest in peace to all the mother****as that passed too early
All the young mother****as that was took in they prime
Real mother****in Gz, this one is for you
Yo Stretch, Biggie
[Stretch:]
Yo Big this is to you my nigga
Springfield Hollis crew, Thug Life, YGz
Sendin they respect, know I mean?
You my nigga for life, forever
You're always gonna be with a nigga
No matter what, don't forget that
I pray before I go to sleep
"Dear God save my place before I start to eat, cause times is hard
So I'm covered to my knees, oh why?
Why you had to take my nigga with the rock I buy?
You had to take a good one, a ghetto hood son, uzi weighin a ton
Niggas terrified of comin from the young gun
Hearin that they did it outta fear don't amaze me
But it's mind blowin, so I'm flowin goin crazy
Slip for cock the gun but he didn't run like a punk
He shoulda had the gauge in the trunk
For spunk is what he had, kid, I'd ratha attack Big
Now ya bout to smell the aftermath of what the mack did
Wannabe suckers wanna test, I'm tellin you, yes
The teflon's bout to rip through your ****in vest
Guess who? I'll make a mess of your crew quick
The spirit Biggie Smalls and the ??? clique, yeah
God bless the dead
God bless the dead
God bless the dead
God bless the dead
God bless they're both dead...IMO
Edit: Biggie had no game, non-original recycled beats, and the dude sounded like he was eating and rapping at the same time.

<strong>I like most kinds of music, except rap. In my opinion, rap sucks ass, and so do Tu-crackhead, and Big-ass (aka: I cant stop stuffing my pie-hole with food) I think rap as a whole is the most destructive music ever produced in the US, more-so than any other kind of music in recent US history.</strong><hr></blockquote>
It's true. But the only rapper I listen to consistently is Tupac. He was more of a poet than a rapper and, while it continued until his death, his earlier work was a lot more 'true', but he had some great songs (he wrote all of his lyrics, and a lot were very deep) even at the end. The best metaphor I've ever heard was Pac's: "a rose that grew from the cracks of the concrete." Because not everything had come easy, I definitely could relate. But that's what it comes down to: what you can relate to. And I definitely relate to Pac more than that incoherent, commercialized, fat **** representing Bad Boy.

If Tupac was "more a poet than a rapper" then the same goes for Ludacris and 2 Live Crew.
Rap hasn't been any more destructive than rock 'n' roll.
Biggie was liek an Apple computer, style, grace, overall better and more refined
2pac was like a PC with linux...still a PC, but ahead of the rest

I disagree. Rock is usually more destructive to the singers, than the fans. However, rap is universally linked to gang violence, drive-by's, prostitutes, and drugs.

but did rap shape those things or did those things shape rap?
