Ok here me out I do not wanna make this a Tupac vs Biggie thread they are both Great. But what I wanna know is in your opinion what do you think Tupac & Biggie does best at? What would you say are their strengths & weaknesses as an Artist/MC? What do you think they do well that separates them from other Artists/MC's?
I Just Want To Know Your Opinion.

feelings thats going to come from this

Big had the GOAT flow and the punchlines, he made you say, "oh ? ".
Pac put a lot of emotion into what he rapped about, but his lyrics were kinda basic, or simple. -
-
Tupac had GOAT subject matter to make you feel him more.
Big was very technical when it comes to Rhyme Schemes and flow.
And Big was very good at hiding while Pac was kickin his ball over the fence until the coast was clear.....Literally, when the other cat got shot out the game on the opposite coast. -
wait, wait, wait. ? . I should have made a thread of this. But Pac has spoke from the grave. yeah. Big too, but i cant find what he said. But i know where the pac reading is at. a Black medium lady read him. yall aint gotta believe but, ? real. Basically, both guys said they wished they did more for us. Here is Pac.
Trust me, its worth a listen. I will be nice and put the exact moment, but listen to the whole thing one day.

Big was a complete emcee, I don't think he had a weakness, lyrical, dope flow, distinctive voice, diverse subject matter, charisma and show man.
Tupac had the energy and passion and rapped with a poetic style, he wasn't a technical emcee but he got his point across regardless. -

By the hip hop definition Pac wasn't lyrical. Pac was dope but he wasn't a lyricist compared to the likes of say Lupe or Canabis etc. -

Pac died before he could respond. That's like if Jay Z died before Nas could've responded back with Ether. -
Excuses.
Dude was been all cordial in interviews too.
Pac was screaming ? all them before he drop that Diss.
Everybody else dropped a diss except him. -
Big had from December of 95, to September of 96 to put together some heat instead of sneak/sly dissing on the low.
-
Will never understand when ? on here say "Pac wasn't lyrical or technical"
-
Mobb Deep dropped their diss when their album was about to come out. Kim dissed him when she was about to drop her album. Back then people don't just randomly drop disses like they do today.Shizlansky wrote: »Excuses.

Pac dropped his album and used the beef to help promote the record. Big didn't have anything to promote so why engage him? Had Pac lived Big would've responded back on LAD like he fully intended to, instead he had to alter a lot of stuff in light of Pac's passing.Big had from December of 95, to September of 96 to put together some heat instead of sneak/sly dissing on the low.

To give more perspective to what @5th Letter said hit em up dropped summer of 96 n he died b4 the season was over really. I believe big was in a car accident & hospitalized in the same summer/spring season so it's not likely that he was able to respond quick besides the fact that disses weren't immediately addressed in those days. Add the fact that originally LAD was to drop Halloween 96 b4 the accident so at least imo he would've answered by then especially if pac didn't pass.
I think he did the right thing n didn't answer in the timing of all the actual events cuz pac died so quick. It would've served big no purpose to diss him n not have a hype or album behind it cuz the east/west beef was high profile n would've added sales to his album. -
To answer the o/p tho I don't think either were weak in anything i don't like all the beats pac spit on but he had flow n I don't subscribe to that lyrical critique he had bars they're styles were so different to me n it's only cuz the beef n their deaths we compare them. N big was great at making simple words n lines seem more difficult cuz his flow n rhyme schemes n wordplay were more "complex" compared to pac but his subject matter didn't really stray past the streets aside a few songs
