2610452, BIG and Pac both have great songs

lots of them. but generically speaking, i ALWAYS see hella people coming into Tupac posts taking shots at his legacy saying he was whack, most overrated of all-time, he's not that great of an MC, his legacy is blown out of proportion cuz of his death, people will clown on his fanbase, etc...but you won't see it so much with BIG.

Is it because he took the higher ground during the beef? maybe.

Did BIG exploded onto the scene and take hip-hop by storm? yes.

"one more chance" vs. "i get around?" it's a wash.

But i swear people act like Pac was a nobody before he did all eyez on me...which sold 10 mil, first double-album in hip-hop, hit after hit, recorded in 2 weeks, fresh outta jail. Even if you want to discount his death row days he still accomplished more in his (that would make it) 4 year career than most artists in hip-hop. some 2pac fans liked him even MORE before death row.
