Let's me first start off with letting you know I'm a born and bred Kalifornia kid and my vote goes for Big. Lyrically Pac was not on Big's level, delivery wise Pac didn't come close. Pac basiclly has the same delivery every song and is 90% of the time evading enemies or rhyiming about something to do with Hennesy. Big never really got to grow as an artist due to his death so we only have 2 volumes of work to judge him on and they are both classics.
2pac was truely a different breed all together and this is why I have to knock him. His background in thearte, being rasied by black panthers and his exposure to their everyday struggle should of made him better then Big. Instead we get songs like What's Your Phone Number, How do you want it, Thug Passion and etc. Pac before Deathrow had so much promise then Pac he signed to deathrow and was trash. Promoting the lifestye that he was rasied to speak against. It wasn't until his murder that his best stuff got leaked.
It's sad that both these cats lost their lifes because of Suge's ego .. yeah i said it!!!
Both will be missed but at least HIP HOP still has Nas.
Great points to bring up....and I agree wit you on some of them. The only reason Pac even signed wit Death Row was cuz they bailed him out. He realized that it was a big mistake and yes it did change his image somewhat. But at the end of the day even he was still jus a human being, capable of making mistakes. Big's delivery was better but Pac like I said reached a much greater portion of people. No matter color, race, or creed people connected with him on a greater level than they did with Big. And all that school of the arts, and etc. type things is what made Pac slightly better. Thats wat you call a deadly combination, when you have not only STREET SMARTS, but BOOK SMARTS as well......THAS SOMETHING SERIOUS.....not tryna argue jus stating facts.....
