now that u've brought Biggie up, between him and Pac who was a better mc according to you
Damn!
We are talking abt a 2lp vs a more thn 8 lp record. I think biggies ready to die n life after death th man spit hard n consistent he takes it.
Stylewise: bigz flow n off the doom punches n wordplay vs pacz conscious lyrics n consistency. pac was socio-political who wrote rhymes n big was a street-theme freestyler. Hard to say who takes it.
we speaking east vs west coast!
fr me both appealed to me in unique ways. ts a TIE. Your take?
For me its Pac all day. Well, Biggie had mad punchlines and dope word play but Pac's story telling ability and his lyrical content does it for me. Also Pac was more aggressive , when the two were beefing Pac hit the nail on the head and didn't shy off calling out Biggie while Biggie's disses were subliminal and never called out Pac
Big was a battle mcee in most ways, dont u think if it were not for the massive respect he had for Pac He wud hv responded with a more weighty jab?
Me thinks bigz reluctance was largely due to the mad respect he had fr Pac.
Otherwse i dnt discriminate a listen of both the two mcees.
If i want intelligent hood stories ad go for Pac, if i wanted a cool nice flow n punches ad go for Big.
On another note, this reminds me of the battle between Nas and Jay Z back then.
In some ways ta more like a big (jay) vs pac (nas) battle.
