while neither of them are sniffing Rakim's jock, I think this is actually a fair debate

i expect it to end in gun violence between NyM410, simonn and UJustWait84 versus Snewf and Dentaldamn

11/30/2012 10:11:44 PM

I'd take 2pac, I feel he has more diversity so you could find something good for any mood you were in

11/30/2012 10:24:40 PM

also this is the REAL 'Runnin'

fuck the bullshit remake

11/30/2012 10:30:29 PM

This is the REAL "Party and Bullshit".

Fuck the original.

11/30/2012 10:37:48 PM

I've always been partial to BIG

This is the REAL "Party and Bullshit"

Fuck the original.

hit em up is the greatest diss record of all time

11/30/2012 11:33:34 PM

disagree

but even if it was, i guess it was successful in encouraging Mobb Deep's crew to murder him

11/30/2012 11:34:32 PM

biggie

never cared much for tupac

12/1/2012 1:20:37 AM

Tupac, but I fully respect and appreciate B.I.G.'s talent and ability

12/1/2012 2:07:29 AM

PAC


I don't think biggie is as nice as he gets props for

12/1/2012 11:25:47 AM

Comparing the 2 in general is tough, considering their styles and deliveries were completely different. Much like any other comparison you could try to make between East Coast and West Coast rappers of the time period.

Pac was the best West Coast rapper and Biggie was the best East Coast rapper of their time. Picking the best overall would be a matter of personal preference.

12/1/2012 11:28:59 AM

Wouldn't go that far....


But it's kinda like the skills vs the "real talk factor"

PAC was real talk, wasn't about skills; biggie was kind of a skills guy

Both could weave a story, biggies skill in my opinion isn't enough to overcome pacs kickin game and flowing through emotion.

12/1/2012 11:34:37 AM

I honestly couldn't put 1 above the other, it just depends on my mood. If I need to get some serious work done, I listen to Pac. If I am just looking to lay back and chill, I listen to Biggie.

12/1/2012 11:41:07 AM

First off, fuck your bitch
And the clique you claim
West side when we ride
Come equipped with game
You claim to be a player
But I fucked your wife
We bust on Bad Boys
niggas fuck for Life
Plus Puffy tryin' to see me weak
Hearts I rip
Biggie Smalls and Junior Mafia
Some mark ass bitches

12/1/2012 1:03:10 PM

Doesn't one of y'all niggas have Sickle Cell or something?

Not sure but this might need to be reversed:

12/1/2012 2:27:13 PM

no, it shouldn't be reversed

12/1/2012 2:28:44 PM

Hit Em Up is the only battle rap that he released. It was raw, sure. But you put Biggie and Tupac together in a freestyle battle and Biggie will murder him. Tupac could sling rhymes together but a lot of the time it was just abstract ghetto statements. Perfect example - the "where brooklyn at" video.

12/1/2012 2:31:45 PM

^with you entirely with regard to the music itself. still think biggie was a far better freestyler

12/1/2012 2:32:33 PM

^^^ first of all, we are talking about battling. The video you posted is Biggie "freestyling" some shit that he probably had written for months.

[Edited on December 1, 2012 at 2:34 PM. Reason : a]

12/1/2012 2:33:41 PM

12/1/2012 2:35:24 PM

^^ in the "where brooklyn at" video tupac is rapping almost an entire song he already wrote

12/1/2012 2:36:36 PM

Did I say that was a battle rap?

12/1/2012 2:39:30 PM

who gives a fuck about battle rap

12/1/2012 2:40:47 PM

i'm referring to freestyling. if tupac can't even freestyle when it ISN'T a battle rap then....

i think tupac's songs were all far greater than anything biggie did, other than maybe juicy and one or two others. but in terms of battle rapping or freestyling, tupac was just not good. his talent was writing together coherent stories in his rhymes. i mean he was a damn poet and went to schools for ballet and acting.

biggie could stand in front of you and cut you down just from rhyming off the top of his head and he could do it for quite a long time. it would be raw, angry AND make sense. tupac was not that type of battle rapper.

[Edited on December 1, 2012 at 2:43 PM. Reason : jank]

12/1/2012 2:40:59 PM

And if you are referring to this:



Biggie used that entire verse in a different song as well

12/1/2012 2:41:47 PM

Christopher Wallace

Ready to Die is a perfect rap album

12/1/2012 2:43:51 PM

12/1/2012 2:46:37 PM

^^^
Okay, so all that means (valid point) is that they both didn't freestyle at all in that video. So what evidence do we have of them freestyling/battle rapping. Please present. Tupac was not a good battle rapper. Hit Em Up is the only thing he had (and it was damn good).

[Edited on December 1, 2012 at 2:49 PM. Reason : jank]

12/1/2012 2:49:36 PM

Enough of the arguing, I think we can all agree that this is the best battle of all time:



FF to 2:35ish

[Edited on December 1, 2012 at 2:53 PM. Reason : a]

12/1/2012 2:51:07 PM

Hit Em Up was a diss track

its not battling if nobody is there to battle back

12/5/2012 10:19:21 PM

12/5/2012 10:29:29 PM

neither

theyre both fucking dead and neither has ever made a single lick of music

no musical instruments, no music

12/5/2012 10:58:34 PM

tupac used a lot of guitars and bass guitars
biggie used a lot of pianos
