    Bottom line is Biggie was more of an emcee and Tupac was more of a Rapper....Biggie was trying to be lyrical to be considered a great emcee...Tupac was trying to tell you about his struggles and problems of the world..both were great at what they did...end of story

    and with that said please let this be the end of this conversation...

    damn man

    You could predict a lot of Pac's lyrics


    Enemy, Hennesy, souldier, told ya, fiend, queen, ? me, feel me,etc

    Couldn't have said it better my self. Pac was a GREAT songwriter... But Biggie could write songs, tell stories, and spit hard poetry almost at will...

    This is why I have Biggie above Pac in my top 5... It's not like we're talking ill about Pac though, this is a discussion amongst TOP 5 DOA emcees right here...

    i thought this was known already.....since when did pac fans care about the technical aspect of the emcee.....thought it was only about content with them....big had better word play, vocab, flow etc really dont see an arguement here

    Biggie is a more techincal rapper than 2pac....If you understand how multi-syllabale and internal rhyme schemes work. Pac has more of basic rhyme pattern. Not to mention Biggie had more flows(song he did with bone thugs) "flaming gats, aiming ]at, these ? ...Maniacs who put my name in raps

    My nine flies, bap-tize, rap guys
    With the holy ghost
    I put holes in most, you hold your toast shakey
    Slip-n-trying to break me


    No one is saying pac didn't use complex rhyme schemes im sure if you look around at pacs music you find some great schemes but biggie just did it better and more often

    pac did not have a basic rhyme scheme then biggie pac rhyme scheme was actually more complex then biggie imo. and also there is nothing complex about that rhyme scheme
    at all u posted from biggie that is a horrible example there is not multi's in that verse

    example


    i wake up early in the morning
    My state so Military
    Suckers Fantasize, Pictures of a
    Young Brother Buried Was it me, The Weed, Or this life I lead If daytime is for suckers then
    Tonight we breathe
    Out for all that Knowing that this world brings drawbacks Look how this ? bumps
    Once I deliver these war raps
    Meet me at the cemetery
    Dressed in Black
    Tonight we
    Honor the dead those who won't be back
    So if I die do the same for me
    Shed no tear
    An Outlaw, thug living in this game,
    for years
    Why worry,
    Hope to ?
    Get me high
    When I'm buried
    Knowing deep inside only a few love me
    Come rush me to the gates of heaven
    Let me picture for a while
    How I live for my days, as a child
    I wonder now
    How do we outlast, always get cash Stay strong if we all mash
    Hold Your head

    pac had one of the greatest flows of all times , biggie was just more consistent with his technacalities then Pac,

    but when pac was flowin that boy was flowin


    ? bless the dead & buried, ?
    Don't worry, if you see ? first, tell Him ? 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 ? don't stop, ? , no pity
    We all hood, and all we ever had was dreams
    Money makin ? , plottin 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 ? to make the white man bleed
    ? bless the dead"






    Man, ain't nobody promised me, a thang
    I been caught up, in this game
    Ever since, I was a little ? , wantin to hang
    I can see 'em in my head, pow
    Memories of my ? , 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 ? 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 ? runnin
    By keepin gun & never run, unless I'm comin at ya
    Cry later, but for now, let's enjoy the laughter
    ? bless the dead

    While Biggie might have been better the MC because of his metaphors, punchlines and wordplay, Pac was definately the better artist because of his range. Pac literally touched on different aspect of the world and life, and because of the emotion he displayed, you could really empathize with him.

    I see death around the corner, gotta stay high, while I survive
    In the city ,where the skinny ? die
    If they bury me, bury me as a G, ? , no need to worry
    I expect retaliation in a hurry
    I see death, around the- corner, anyday
    Trying ,to keep it together, no one lives forever, anyway
    Strugglin and strivin, my destiny's to die
    Keep my finger on the trigger, no mercy in my eyes
    In a ball of confusion, I think about my daddy
    Madder than a ? , they never shoulda had me
    I guess I seen too many murders, the doctors can't help me
    Got me stressin' with my pistol in my sheets, it ain't healthy
    Am I paranoid? - Tell me the truth
    I'm out the window, with my AK, ready to shoot
    Ran out of endo, and my mind can't take the stress,
    I'm out of breath
    Make me wanna ? my damn self,
    but I see death around the corner



    I see death around the corner,
    the pressure's getting to me
    I no longer trust my homies,
    them phonies, tried to do me
    Smoking too much weed,
    got me paranoid, stressed
    Pack a gat and my vest,
    under my clothes, when I dress
    Here's hopin I die, the way I lived,
    straight thuggin'
    Huggin' my trigger, for all them ?
    who was buggin'
    My homie told me once,
    don't you trust them other suckers
    They fought like they your homies
    but they phony, ?
    And even if I did, die young, who cares
    All I ever got was mean mugs, and cold stares
    I got homies in my head
    who done passed away, screamin please
    Young ? , make Gs
    I can't give up, although I'm hopeless,
    I think my mind's gone
    All I can do is get my grind on, death around the corner


    I was raised in the city, ?
    Ever since, I was an itty bitty kitty
    Drinkin' liquor, out my momma's ?
    And smokin' weed was an everyday thang, in my household,
    And drinking liquor, til' you out cold
    And tho' i'm gone now, ? it's still on- Pow
    Bustin on them ? , til they gone
    How many more jealous ass bitches, comin for my riches
    Now I gotta stay suspicious, when I bone
    Cause if I ain't sharp and heartless,
    them ? will start ?
    Excuse me, but this is where we part ?
    No more, game for free, please explain to me
    Why ? trip, ? , who you came to see?
    Murderin' now, but see me later man, as for my pops
    I got homies, that will hunt you, til you drop
    I hope the Lord will forgive me, I was a G
    And gettin high was a way of gettin free
    I see death around the corner

    That's all fine and all, but don't proclaim Pac a great mc then if he doesn't excel at the technicalities of it. Call him a poet then!

    Man music aint a scientific formula. All but .000001% of the population just knows they like a song. It comes on, they like how it sounds and start movin. I listen to 2Pac all the time and some of his cds are must haves for me.That dont mean i have a problem with Biggie. Different music for when i feel like listenin to it.

    Better wordplay means technical in the hip hop community.

    He could have. But The reason Pac didn't want to be more technical is because the audience he was making his music for. He didn't rap over their head

    Its down to opinion in the end,but biggie sounded nice at times,unlike tupac he didnt have substance in his raps. Wasnt really saying anything that provokes thought, i guess folks don't appriciate and cant stomach that,they rather listen to light ? .
