    2Pac.

    He would probably have won an Oscar by now. He was a good actor. He would probably collaborate with some of the artists of today like the p***y Cat Dolls, Nelly Furtado, JoJo, etc.

    HoHo and Little Bow Wow collaborated. I was just using HoHo as an example.

    and how many times are going to quote Ether by Nas.


    Lets give Biggie a west coast background.

    Now lets give Pac the best producer in the game at the time + east coast bias, The debate would have been changed to "Was Biggie even good enough to hold Pac's dirty laundry"

    Tupac!

    Everytime I hear those rockets hate-speech from idiots like BSPN and Rosen, I think of this song:

    Don't settle for less - even the genius asks-es questions
    Be grateful for blessings
    Don't ever change, keep your essence
    The power is in the people and politics we address
    Always do your best, don't let the pressure make you panic
    And when you get stranded
    And things don't go the way you planned it
    Dreamin of riches, in a position of makin a difference
    Politicians and hypocrites, they don't wanna listen
    If I'm insane, it's the fame made a brother change
    It wasn't nuttin like the game
    It's just me against the world

    Me against the world

    I don't think Pac would still be rapping if he were alive...He was trying to get out of the game before he was killed, which is why there are so many conspiracy theories that he faked his death to get away from it all. He was so talented in other areas that he would be doing other things.

    Biggie would probably still be rapping but just like Jay-z, X, Nas and other great rappers, he too would become repetative. Hip/hop-rap is at its best when the artist is hungry and actually living the life and can directly relate to pain and struggle they rap about. Once they become millionaires who let studio heads manipulate the art is when they lose steam and fabricate albums. It's no longer from the heart and becomes stale.

    i thought about NAS, but I wanted to compare Pac/Biggie to current artists that are more mainstream. All of those dudes listed above make way more $$$ than NAS nowadays.

    Street Dreams are made of these.

    I hope you are not saying Biggie was living a life in poverty

    i love his songs but he grew up in a middle class family with a mum who is a school teacher....he doesnt Rap about "himself" even though he wants to make it seem that way to get street cred, its more of an alter ego thing

    TUpac was no gangsta either, but rappers needs to portray themselves this way to sell albums


    and I cant belive you left out Nas, this guy has being reinventing his songs alot and he is one of the best if not the best Rapper/Mc out there, no one else is even close (exaggeration added)

    and when I call him the best i am judging his lyrics (both the flow + the meanings attached to it) and the music
