lol the last biggie v pac debate I got into "Biggie only makes party songs". When people downplay him I just assume they havent taken the time to listen to his stuff, cause the guy had it all.
The only short coming Biggie prob had compared to these guys was prob vocab- he was never known for using words that would make you draw for the dictionary.
Otherwise- Flow, Story telling, Punchlines, Versitility, Quotables, Biggie had that on smash- and that was over 2 studio albums + some lesser known stuff.
Jay z, Nas and various other rappers can't really be on the same plateu as Biggie and Pac in my opinion. Not cause they got merked but because these rappers base their style/bars etc on these guys (Not so much Nas in this case) - how can they be better? let alone same level.
Nas probably had the potential to be on 2Pac's level, even higher, but I don't feel he has lived upto that potential through his career.
2pac's level in terms of what? commercial success?
