    Smoking on the Clematis, get open like a present is
    Now your presence is on the premises for them presidents"

    Rappity rap ? ...nothing of substance. Not a damn thing said here.

    So now we changing the meaning of what a bar is saying of it has no content it has no meaning?....so now we gotta define what content is cuz we could say rapping abt fckin ? , bussing guns (which pac did before) isn't content right? Rappin abt jewelry etc isn't content.....so lemme ask a question would those lines in Joey's verse have content if it fit the topic of the song....or are we just bring picky now

    So now we sayin every legendary rapper who's ever rippty rapped or made a career off it aint ?

    Yaaaaaa I'm done u ? will change the rules whenever to fit your purpose

    Do ? really wanna use the content excuse cuz that's a double edged swords. Cuz ? know they lying if they say all pac content was just dropping knowledge.....I'm assuming that's what u mean by content right? that dropping knowledge ? right. Only problem with that is content comes in all forms. Why u think they say things like "this movie will have violent and sexual content" or put explicit content on album covers......so is we talkin abt good or bad content is u saying Joey's raps have no content at all cuz if u say that u lying I can post alot of songs where he spits knowledge or gets on his political ? . If u think he all rippty rap "I flow like the nile" ass ? then u clearly never listened to him like that.

    But I digress we talkin bars right or we going deeper than that trying to define what a bar is? Cuz I can go either or b

    That's koo but that's just your opinion just because u don't like someone's music doesn't mean u should deny there skill set.....I'm not taking anything from pac. Even pac admitted his not a technical type of rappers. When u speak on technical rapping we're basically speaking on word play, metphors, similes, punchlines. Joey is cut from that same old school cloth as Joe Budden, crooked I, royce 9, WuTang, Joel Ortiz, Nas, Big L, Biggie, Lupe, Jay electronica where lyrical ability is praised as the end all be all. So for Joey to say he could out bar pac isn't a stretch....for ? to say pac could out bar Joey ud have to place his technical skills on the mic on the same level as some of the guys I just named and ud be lying if u said he could lyrically out bar them cats. Hittem up was a great diss but it was very direct and straight forward it wasn't like Joe Budden disses to Drake where he was dropping punchlines and metphors every other line. An it doesn't mean Hittem up wasn't better but there's a big difference between the two in the way of technical skills on the mic

    It's funny how you need to be "lyrical" to be a good rapper.

    Pac had records were he snapped but Pac's IMPACT on Brenda's Gotta Baby is and will be bigger than anything than Joey puts out.


    Let me know when he can put a track like this out

    Once again not denying that but Joey said out bar pac not that he makes better music
    Nobody said u had to be yrical to rap either.
    Hell even the title of the thread is out of context with what Joey actually said he never said he was better just that he could out rap him bar for bar.
    That has nothing to do with pac being overall better

    2pac got RnB singers to feature and do the hook on 99% of his songs more than any other rapper in history. Hooks were his weakness. So this is why he wasn't a good song writer he couldn't do hooks and got more features for hooks than anybody ever. All he did was rap verses in the song. While the RnB singer featuring did the hook and the producer made the beat for him


    His beat selection was also weak his beats were pretty wack didn't bang at all


    Yes he had a message but what good is message if it is executed in a very boring and very non engaging way? this is subjective of course but from my perspective his music was boring because he executed the message in a boring way. Having a message is the easiest thing in principle anyone can have a message in their music. What is the key factor is the execution of the message


    I don't play any of his albums even his better ones like All Eyez On Me and Me Against The World because they lack replay value to me because I find them and his style boring


    However he did make better music than Joey Badass but that's not saying much that is simply and only due to Joey Badass music being so ?

    For all the message/substance talk a lot of his super fans on the IC mention

    2pac's biggest and most successful hit ever was California Love lol. A song where Roger Troutman did the hook, a song that isn't a solo song which Dr Dre featured on, which Dr Dre produced

    And this a part song his biggest hit


    His highest selling album ever All Eyez On Me is also his least deepest and has the least substance out of his discography

    Also he was working on that 1Nation with BCC and you could hear the influence of it when he was spitting...
