I have often wondered why does Tupac seem so much more revered in death than Biggie.? Tupac's estate seems to be worth 100 times more in death than when he was alive..Was Tupac's music that much better than Biggie's, was it his goods looks? Or is the mystery surrounding his death i.e no funeral.

Tupac was the greatest rapper in my opinion. He had the ability to touch listener's with his raps because the subject matter was and still is so very real. I mean what other rapper could make a tribute song for his mother and have it become an instant classic. He was very talented as was Biggie, but I think the difference was that Tupac had the total package. He was talented, very good looking and connected with people close to his age such as myself. I cried the day Tupac was killed , he was just that real.

2Pac was also around much longer and his "bootlegs" only boosted his longevity. He was a real rapper who would keep making songs after the reels have stopped in the studio, from poems to a suspicious death.


Biggie, now he was just ghetto fabulous. Plus that last album Life B4 Death was a classic. But we didnt get enough of him to last us.

Tupac was phat. Big was just fat.

But seriously ....

Pac made more albums in his lifetime. Plus he skills were superior in every aspect.

They were both kinda wack after `94.

I love tupac fans, to say Pac was better than Biggie as a rapper is like saying Prince is a better singer than Luther Vandross.

If it was a rap battle face to face, Tupac would have gotten roasted by Biggie, to the point where all of Pac's limited rap abilites would have been exposed.

When it came to rapping, Biggie killed Pac, but Pac had the intangibles and Pac knew how to hide his weakness in making great topics, but lyrically he wasn't that great and got exposed when he was rhyming with Redman and Kurupt and got thourougly out rhymed

Now, who in their right mind would say Prince is a better singer than Luther vandross, even if they are Prince's No 1 fan But back to Tupac, I believe under different circumstances he wouldn't have become a Rapper. I mean this is a guy who use to take Ballad!!wse

That's all hypothetical, seeing as it won't happen because they're both dead. And I'd much rather listen to Prince sing in his plethora of voices than Luther Vandross anyday. In fact I do.

I don't know how to answer your question... but IMO there's just no comparison

Biggie was SKUM to the core!

He beat the shit out of every women in his life including Lil KIm, Faith evans and charli baltimore.

He meade Lil Kim get an abortion and knocked her out while she was pregnant, he also pulled out a gun and threatened to kill her.

FUCK THAT FAT CUNT!

Perhaps I'm wrong, but wasn't Tupac convicted of sexual battery??

My sources tell me I am correct about his conviction, so I don't really understand why you dislike one more than the other. I respect your opinion, but both were nasty and violent towards women.

2pac's work ethnic was different from Big's and many other rappers at the time. 2pac did three songs a day, and could write a verse(s) in just 5 mintues, and he was always constantly writing lyrics. And so after he died, he had enough unreleased material to last for probably another 20 plus years which could financially support his mother from his grave. And theres still unreleased material out there that not even Pac's estate has in their possession.

Biggie wasnt in the studio as much and thats evident by his posthumanous albums with a few rare verses and mostly recycled lyrics from his 1st two albums.

This I agree with. Biggie was a better MC than Pac, but Pac was the better artist though cause Pac had bigger range.

Sexual battery in NY can as simple as touching a woman on the ass without her consent. And thats extactly what Pac got convicted for.

Pac never raped or sexually assaulted that groupie. The girl claimed Pac allowed two members of his entourage to rape her, but there was several contradictions to her claims such as no forced entries of the anal or vagina, and she claimed her clothes were ripped off, but not of were damaged or wrinkled. And not to mention, the groupie first met Pac at a nightclub where she willingfully performed oral sex on him, and she showed at his Pac's hotel room dressed all provocatively.

And acutally the two guys were the one's who called her to his hotel room in the first place - Pac didnt want her to come tho cause she wasnt really all that attractive to him.

And the guys who acutally did the alledged rape and a different trial seperated froms then Pac's and they got off with lighter sentences while Pac had to serve prison time. And thats because one of them was a police informant (Pac mentions his name "Against All Odd").
