One was a freak, one was a freak of the industry. I liked Tupac in his day, but he's been way overrated since his death. MJ, on the other hand, was a legend before he was dead.
I'm so confused as to why Thriller is the greatest selling album, by far, of all time if nobody knew Michael till after he died. Tupac pretty much the only rapper I'll listen to but I gotta give the vote to MJ.
Pac hands down. Michael Jackson was not even a top 50 receiver when he was playing and you're trying to compare him to Pac? smh
Well, I don't know. Michael isn't the most popular because he has the most talent, but because he had the most commercial appeal...Madonna is a better dancer, and Pac is a better performer. Michael just happened to be a more marketable product.
Pac and MJ (Liberian Girl sample) in this song <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MaI1NghDgc4&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MaI1NghDgc4&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Pac rapped about life, he had lyrics, he made a difference.. Michael entertained, and was REALLY good at it up until he decided to go full-r****d/gay.. it's Pac in a heart beat for me, but I can see how some people would take MJ ..
Why would anyone care who can dance better when they're listening to a CD/MP3? I would take 2Pac over MJ anyday.
Michael was more than an entertainer... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyBs6-cmFvQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W61Q-EZ8R7M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8rYl6K2STc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCqQ2JcQWGs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvYygjcMDdQ <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4FZcAzZOyOg&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4FZcAzZOyOg&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WmxT21uFRwM&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WmxT21uFRwM&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Michael made a difference on a GLOBAL scale, No doubt about it. Alot of his music is as real and deep as it gets...
I agree. Tupac has great impact on hiphop society and was a great person. I have respect for MJ but Me against the world all day.
