Agreed on all that.
Preeeeach! Later, QD.
damn straight, and Pac ripped the mic up, without a doubt. I watched him perform at house of Blues out in LA, one of his last few shows... "hit 'em up" he fuckin lit the place up. never had that feling in any other concert/performance. a person that reminds me of him a lot is Game, not w/ lyrical content at all, but in the delivery and onstage presence. 'Pac sounded the same onstage as he did on the CD. Game is the same way.
I was a 2pac fan until he got on deathrow then he started putting out mtv shit. do not get me worng ambitionz, hit em up, hail mary i loved the beats. me against the world was one of the greatest rap albums of all time. 2pac acting skills came from his highschool days when he went to a school for performing arts with jada pinkett-smith. so acting was always in his blood or atleast in his heart.
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.

Yeah, EM is comercial.. But hey, How can you not? white, Funny lyrics, talking about Something besides GUNS and HOES.. talking about killing his mom, ex girl, daughter, fags,pills.. and to top if off was under DR.DRE's wing.
EM brought something diffrent to the table.. what did Biggie bring? Besides lame ass played out lyrics?

But I agree with the rest... Gangstar.. full clip.. bitches.
Big L was a beast when he battled.
even though he somewhat commercial, Jin is a good battle rapper, his 106 and underground battles were always good...kid got great punchlines

I agree but Puffy and Biggie were damn near one in the same. the westcoast never had hiphop they just had more rotation on mtv and more record sales than eastcoast artist until big came along(excluding rundmc,beastie boys,coolj) i think people were shocked ny his first album and it became an instant classic just like illmatic did.Originally Posted by Julio
apache damn you went back. what about redman?Originally Posted by quickdodge®
You're kidding right? The WC has never been repped by East Coast MTV. I remember watching Yo! MTV Raps from the day it aired first, to the day it aired last. It was all EC, barely any WC. BET and MTV both show mucho amore to EC artists. Later, QD.Originally Posted by bicsintegra
Blah westcost rap sucks... unless its Bay Area like, spice 1, celly cell, 2pac and too short the rest is garbage.
what a insultOriginally Posted by quickdodge®
The westcoast died with tupac or the jeri curl... or whichever came first
every region has its time... this just happens to be the south's time right now....
first it was ATL and now HOUSTON is shining... THE WEST IS NEXT TO BLOW !!
yall forgot about JAE MILLZ
nope
haha tell that bitch keep hatin, he prolly does like Lil jon and wants to be crunk an shit![]()

^^^ Lolol. I feel ya on that. When MTV Raps first came out, it was nothing but Rakim and Eric B., EPMD, BDP, Kool Moe Dee, and all them. Don't get me wrong cause I still listen to the shit of those characters, but it was rare to catch an NWA or King Tee track on video. Later, QD>
dre > Eminem
Em > 50
obie trice = eminem
jay z >< eminem
it really depends on who goes first and what is said by who. Cause em could go first and that automatically gives whoever the advantage
In battle rap cassidy is the shit hand down. Then u got murda mook, lux and jae millz But some of u never hear of them cause yall do not know real freesytle {battle rap}
