list the topics because outside of "Things Done Changed", "Everyday Struggle" "Juicy" and "Suicidal Thoughts" it was either drug life or witty east coast lyricism. >He was a better actor, better icon, more charismatic figure, >better interview, better news story, better looking poster on >the wall 'and all that, all that, all that'(c)
and better songs, got it. >He released a shit-ton of material, he recorded incessantly >and it wasn't all the most focused quality stuff either. > >Pac was more a songs guy than an albums guy. > >He didn't flesh out his thoughts into a cohesive album whole >like that, closest to doing so was the Makiaveli joint which >perhaps not coincidentally was completed & put together after >his death. >
False. Makaveli was completed in 7 days prior to his death. Hence the album title The 7 Day Theory.
>Big talked about all kinds of shit from growing up, to >braggadocio raps, to storytelling joints, to mental issues, >rapping from different character's perspectives, etc. >
Braggadocio raps don't impress me. Pac did all of that other shit as well.
>He just didn't make cuddly pandering cuts like "Dear Momma" or >direct I'm-Gonna-Kill-You direct diss records like "Hit Em >Up". >
True. He just made cuddly pandering radio cuts like "Big Poppa" and "One More Chance" and dropped subliminal disses on other peoples records.

It has to do with Biggie's limited subject matter and the fact that Pac talked about more shit than him. You like BIG more. No biggie fam. Big was technically a better emcee but Pac made better music. Just my opinion.
