biggie is considered one of the greatest because he brought the east coast back which in my opinion is bullshit. he put ny on the map in terms of mtv rotation and sales. but there was wutang, tribe, nas, redman, das efx, gangstar, who were all holding the eastcoast down. mtv just wasn't feeling them at the time until biggie came along.
comparing pac and big is like comparing jay-z and nas both incredible rappers just different lyrical content. biggie you put on at a house party, pac you put on when you were in the car and you needed to think some shit through.
as far as the g.o.a.t. i would have to say it is between Rakim and Krs-1.
