    Let me start off with Pac is my favorite artist of all time

    Y'all keep bringing up "impact" & "legacy". Joey's talking bar for bar, who's a better lyricist. & he is.

    Better lyrically is a cop out used by rappity rap ass ? who have no it factor or good beat selection and horrible flow to boost them up over artists like pac and dmx... it's ? really. U telling a ? like joey is better lyrically than pac cuz he uses all those words? Most folk never will know cuz they turn that boring ass ? off after a minute.

    yeah but forget about the industry ,the movies ,his death and put them both on a street corner as unknowns and let them be in a rap cypher...when you walk away who will you say is the best rapper ?

    Sooo when y'all gonna drop a hot Joey line...

    I ain't forget lol

    listen ...I dont even listen to no Joey badass to tell you the truth I just dont consider Pac lyrical at all his strenght was his charisma ,song making and he knew how to make you feel his pain ,but Pac dont have no hot 16's

    If a ? can make you feel his music, that's a hit 16 bruh. Wtf

    you know what ,you right I went and listened to a couple of Joey badass's songs and the ? aint sayin nothing deep and aint even really lyrical ,I was wrong I based my opinion on a couple of tracks I heard from him like 3 years ago and I thought he was dope but that was only because there was too much music from the south and I thought his ? was refreshing....so yeah I was wrong ,this ? baddass should be slapped for saying that ? lol

    Tho i think pac was way deeper n rapped a more straightforward style i wouldnt say he has bars, hes just very poetic. His 16s paint a picture n tell u a story.

    Whereas joey is poetic but hes more backpack rapper with it. And instead of story telling hes more "i rip mics like...". Hes more 90s emcee style.

    Bottom line is imo joey is dope but he shouldnt have said that ? . Theres no way it doesnt come off the wrong way.

    Dude makin up theoretical reasons he says he's "better" cause he has nothing real and tangible. And its neither here nor there. There is no way to convince most people he is touching Pac as a rapper on any level. (maybe using a dictionary to put words together nobody cares about) that doesnt make you a better rapper or lyricist than someone who can actually convey things and paint pictures. Its like a pretty obscure abstract painter saying they are "better" than the best portrait and realist painters. Just nonsense that means nothing. For the few who prefer dude, fine but your in the minority and not going to convince the masses because its ludicrous.

    The one thing I notice on the I.C especially with u older cats ur bias af when young cats compare themselves or get compared to legends yall rarely look at it objectively. Which in turn leads yall to say alot of ? that has nothing to do with what was said.

    Joey said he could out bar pac
    Joey would be considered a backpack rapper
    Same as Joe Budden, Lupe, Mos Def, Eminem.....ya they could make a good song every now and then and get deep
    But there mostly known for being lyrical miracle on the mic.
    There's a ? from Brooklyn named IV Seconds look him up he made a rap abt fckin street fighter and Dragon Ball Z that had nothing but bars
    Pac can't do that, I admit pac is a better over all rapper cuz he can do alot of things Joey can't.
    But if I had to pick between him and pac to spit a fire 16 abt ooooohhh human evolution off the dome I'd bet all my money on Joey

    You can't say bars and lyricism means nothing. Words are what make rap different from other music. Making words rhymes that makes sense. Joey is a better lyricist than Pac. Rap is like basketball. You have players who can dunk, some that are 3 point specialist. Jump shooters, defensive players..... Curry is a better 3 point shooter than Jordan. No denying that. But that doesn't make him a better player than MJ. Same with Joey. If you put both on the mic and told them to spit. Joey would ? it. But if you gave them a topic to write and rap about. I would put my money on Pac. Pac content was on a 10. He could rap about anything. He also had a great flow and unique voice. Do I think he was the best. No. When he was alive no one I ever heard say it. But I can see why people feel that way. Cause he made music that everyone could relate to. Because he wrote about so many different experiences. Joey a better spitta than Pac, but Pac the better MC.
