This goes right to my point. Tupac has 10-15 great albums, biggie had 10-15 good songs. But yet they are compared? Why is that? Because biggie had flow and style, while tupac is just straight forward and talks to you like scarface. And i agree with you about all of those greats i think they they all have a better body of work then biggie. BUT YOU AREN'T LISTENING. I am talking about the skills of the rapper, not the power in their pen. Nobody will ever write and rap lyrics that move me the way tupac did. But biggie sounds good, he was a freestyler if he didn't have flow he would have never become famous, listen to biggie's freestyles. You said in your book, thats your opinion. In my book its the same thing tupac first, always. BUT IM NOT TALKING ABOUT MY PERSONAL FAVORITE, like i said i am talking about if they were bothing doing the same exact song, biggie could make it sound better, and i am not even saying thats what this thread is. That is what i tried to add to the thread. Saying that tupac was my favorite, but if you looked at the rapper not the writing then what? Then its biggie. Tupac could not make club songs or songs that to people just sound good to listen to. When you listen to tupac you listen to the words. Thats why like the only song ever played on the radio by tupac is california love, because it was a song that sounds good. Tupac you have to listen to the words, with biggie you can just listen to the sound and like it. I do think though that you are downing biggie a little bit, yes he didn't have the content that tupac had out, but he wasn't the same type of person. Tupac tried to get everything out as fast as he could. Biggie didn't feel like time was a issue he was just living life having a good time.
still, my point...
all biggie had was flow, and kendrick already beat him. so forget biggie time to move on. this is the point, all he had was flow. no valuable subject or anything political or important or worth remembering
just guns drugs girls parties and bullshit. "flow" wont hold that image up forever, biggie will be forgotten 2pac and kdot wont.
