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.

Braggadocio raps don't impress me. Pac did all of that other shit as well.

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.
