Pacolyte please.

You just choose content because actually discussing lyrics, flow, variety of rhyme styles, quotables, verses wouldn't be a contest.

Pac had about ten chances to make an album that held up and told a story from start to finish like Ready To Die but he was not even close to being able to do so.

I guess closest he came mighta been Me Against The World.

And he couldn't do Life After Death either, he had the entire Death Row camp (at their creative/commercial zeitgeist) literally gift him with their best material available upon coming home while he had production done by everyone from Quik to Dre to Dazz & Pooh yet put out an album where the second disc was two joints away from a full-fledged coaster.

sure, lil buddy.

Even when Big makes ladies' joints, which he did more successfully by his first album than 2Pac had done up to that point.....it was Pac's spiritual guiding light showing him how to talk to girls.

It's pretty eazeeeey, to recognize another rhyme about henesseeeey and enemeeey.

You want credit for Ja-Rule & Lil Zane as part of why Pac's a better rapper than Big?
