"Is it me, or does it feel like we've seen Peak Biggie Love?"


  

          

Tupac's stature seems to continue to rise with Time but it doesn't feel like the same is happening with Biggie.

I mean do the youngin's go crazy in the club when a biggie track comes on like the old heads do? Last party I heard a biggie set I was the youngest dude in there?


If I am not wrong it could be contributed to a couple of factors (Jay-Z's rise in that lane and New York hip-hop generally falling off in influence) but I think the one factor people won't want to admit is that Tupac had a political/social commentary component that is somewhat timeless and endures.

Pac is getting made over into the next iteration of the Panthers and people are kind of ignoring the Makaveli ride on our enemies Pac.

Biggie doesn't really have that (even though they tried to force it in the movie 'Sky is the limit...').

ionknow. Just thinking out loud.

That's how the best legends endure though. High Brow and the critics
Mar 24th 2015

I disagree, that's all they seem to know.
Mar 25th 2015
142
      Yep.
Mar 26th 2015
150
      mine has been the exact opposite
Mar 26th 2015
156
a thought: tupac lent himself more to deification
Mar 24th 2015
5
Agreed.
Mar 24th 2015

Biggie's negativity is what will hold him back in posterity
Mar 24th 2015

Well it's interesting that "Juicy" is one of his most enduring songs.
Mar 24th 2015
11
first off, fuck yo bitch & the click you claim...
Mar 24th 2015

Mar 24th 2015
26
      Jay was by far the better hustler tho
Mar 24th 2015
27
           true, but im talking just in terms of his longevity as an mc...
Mar 24th 2015
30
           Longevity? LMAO!! BIGGIE GOT KILT!
Mar 24th 2015
37
                if you read the whole convo you will see i was talkn about Jay
Mar 24th 2015
43
                     right...you're saying Jay has had longevity with the same message
Mar 24th 2015
45
           Thats cause he was ridin with Puff...Jay didnt have a Puff
Mar 24th 2015
36
                You're right. Jay had someone better: Dame.

                I never would say Pac was a bigger artist in the club, but it's close.
Mar 26th 2015

Mar 24th 2015

Biggie was the Joe Frazier to Tupac's Ali
Mar 24th 2015
40
Blame Jay
Mar 24th 2015
25
Biggie's legacy lies in his technique. Pac's in his varied messages.
Mar 24th 2015
29
Pac was an icon.
Mar 24th 2015
31
Yeah.
Mar 24th 2015
49
Basically, Pac was living/breathing performance art turned martyr
Mar 24th 2015
51
Raping babies, no ifs ands or maybes
Mar 24th 2015
32
Pac shot 2 police in the ass for beating a guy. And lived.

           RE: It really doesn't
Mar 24th 2015
56
           regardless it still trumps any album Pac ever made fairly easily
Mar 24th 2015
58
           That's your opinion - I prefer 'Makaveli' over both Biggie cds and
Mar 24th 2015

                east coast or west coast?
Mar 24th 2015

which would be the deciding factor if we're actually talking about music
Mar 24th 2015

I can't put any MC in the GOAT conversation without at least 4 albums.

I do believe he had the talent & charisma to be one of the best, no question. He just was never able to realize it.

They don't know Pac. They know a caricature of Pac, but they don't really know shit about him.

can love it because of the political implications and what not. Low Brow and the Masses can love it because of the thug life ish.

Kinda like how Muhammad Ali can reach that legendary status.

the straddling Pac did between extremes allowed for more of a "pic the pac you liked". more of a gray area if you will

as opposed to biggie on that "grind at all costs so you can ball"

True fans will be fans, but non-fans aren't going to jump on the bandwagon of a man that doesn't have ONE positive verse. And sorry fans, "I sold crack, but made it out of the hood" ISN'T positive.

In response to Reply # 16


  

          

(I want to say it was either one of those two)

It was said that even outside of the studio, all Biggie would talk about is blunts and the block. Tupac would talk about everything under the sun from Egyptology to current politics to Shakespeare. I would venture to say that is reflected in their legacies, Pac's is more extensive because he was more well-rounded of a person or at least did a much better job of portraying himself as such.

here for dis.

Surprisingly, a lot of L.A. people ride for Biggie, a few even liked him more than Pac. I notice that the 35-45 folks who were more "bougie" were Biggie fans because of the One more chance type songs. And they LOVE Get money more than any Pac song in the club.

and think that's how it is all over the country/world

when its time to dance with a woman to hip hop Biggie will gets 8 or 9 songs when the DJ does an old school set.

Pac has 2 songs and damn near anything else will turn a dance floor into a sausage fest.

In response to Reply # 124


  

          

Thing is, "California love" smashes ALL Biggie songs with a mixed/White crowd anywhere. "I get around" is classic, and definitely goes hard for most age groups.

I would agree that "Toss it up" is more Regional, same as "Can't c me"...but "How do you want it" gets more love outside CA than it does inside of it. "2 of Amerika's most wanted" seems to go hard everywhere. "Ambitionz of a ridah" works great with 30+ Down South crowds when it's a Regional/West Coast set...they played it much more than we do here at clubs.

And "All about u" still goes, CA and the South. On some early/late vibe, "Do 4 love" and "R u still down" still go.

Biggie had more anthems in the vein of what Jay has, but even then, neither of them really had like "ass shakers" like that.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

so immediately after Big's death everything was pretty much released and there was no room for new hype... with Pac he had what 4 or 5 albums of truly new stuff that was released allowing a lot of new fans to catch on...


just my humble theory.

I got a good life man

being much to Biggie's story outside of his feud w/Pac

A NY rapper who was slangin crack rock before he got put on at a time when the NY rap scene was taking a backseat to the LA gangsta rap music pretty much sums up his story...and that pretty much represents the story of 90% of rappers from NY and elsewhere

He was a humorous and dope lyricist but there was much to be desired in his content

I always said Biggie was the Joe Frazier to Tupac's Ali

Pac didn't need the clash w/Biggie/east coast rappers to become the icon he became...but if Biggie's legacy wasn't so connected to Pac's I seriously doubt he would be lionized as rap/pop culture icon as he now is posthumously...

And celebs legacies are elevated in death which is the case w/Biggie

Whereas w/Pac, there's a lot that's made him the interesting person and the cultural icon he is besides being a great rap artist

-you have his connection to the Panthers via family ties
-a lot of his music was uplifting to many *non-HipHop* fans
-his run-ins w/the cops
-spending time in jail on a rape charge
-his outspokenness
-his background in the theater and love for poetry

Most of the affection people feel about Pac don't have nothing to do with his raps at all.

niggas who love rap will always cherish Biggie.

Pac transcends rap, though.

He was a tragic figure. A wider range of people can identify with someone appearing to be self aware of who they are, and how they struggle. For everything a person might not like about him, he showed a side that was desperately striving to overcome those things, because he knew if he didn't it would be the end of him. He even seemed to know that even bettering himself might not matter, his past could still catch up with him. But he still appeared to be trying.

That resonates with people.

Just IMO though.

51. "Basically, Pac was living/breathing performance art turned martyr"
In response to Reply # 31


  

          

He was a better actor than he was a rapper, has a backstory that would seem ridiculous if you tried to write a fictitious character like him had he never lived, the girls are always gonna side with the more good-looking 'conflicted' guy, etc.

He wasn't in Big's league as a rapper and most anybody who's more than a casual fan of the art form should be able to acknowledge that if they're over 16.

Do you understand the otherworldly adoration that would generate now?

Pac doesn't get compared to Biggie....meanwhile biggie is constantly compared to Pac

changed.

I think the one thing that has fallen off for Big is that he just doesn't seem to get the contemporary/young cats co-signs that Pac/Jay even Kanye are getting these days.

As influential as he was, he just does not have the library to fall deep into.

Yeah, Prince fell off, but if you go from 76-94 (arguably), theres enough in there to see why folk live for the man. Not to mention the unreleased stuff.

Theres only but so many times you can say "but...but...he made Who Shot Ya??".

because even a couple years after his death, no one would have tried to claim he was a Top 5 rapper of all-time, let alone when he was actually walking the earth.

But when it comes to actually rapping, Big was always better at it than Pac by any measurement and always shall be.

and that's it.

Big had better lyrics, flow, storytelling ability, a far higher percentage of great songs (probably more great songs despite recording less than 1/5th as many), better albums, more quotables/memorable verses, mic presence, ability to adapt styles, etc.

There is virtually nothing that Pac was better at when it comes to actually rapping.

Big stayed in his lane topic wise. True he could switch up his flow but he stayed talking about the same shit. That's why more people love Pac. He was more relatable. Pac got more material I like but he also released more material. Plus Big came up when NYC was on that mafia don shit and that kinda boxed him in topic wise. Going back to those records during that mid 90s era, that mafioso stuff messed up New York rap. Sure you got your OB4CL but you mainly got some albums that was just cool for the moment.

Biggie's for his wide ranging content alone

Pac could've made a similar album to either of Biggie's album...but there's absolutely no way. Biggie could've ever made a 'Makeveli'

He'll, Big learned the game from Pac as far as what records to make that *women* buy

Also, there is NO rapper whose influence is easily recognized more than Tupac - especially in the mid to late 90s

Most ppl's favorite MC was a fan of Pac lol (including and especially Big)

That to me is ultimately how we measure an artist's greatness and impact

Its just your opinion and you are obviously all about some Pac so there is no need to fake like you are being objective about this.

Pacolyte please.

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

>Pac could've made a similar album to either of Biggie's

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.

>Also, there is NO rapper whose influence is easily recognized

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?

No because for all of those qualities you say Biggie possessed as a pm MC, he didn't have a bigger impact on other MCs lyrically and so on. You could readily identify MCs Pac influenced whether it withe their rhymes cadence or the subject matter or their vulnerability...there are tons more MCs I've heard say they were influenced by Tupac...from Big himself to Nas to Em who actually said Pac was the BEST WRITER ever in HipHop...

So while you choose to focus on quotables/flow. I put more emphasis on content and emoting your feelings on record which no one did better than Tupac..

This is what you don't seem to understand when it comes to art and how ppl relate to that art: there are times when techniCal aspects of an artform are superseded by sheer emotion and an artist's ability to connect w/their listener...case and point: Billie Holiday who wasn't by any means the most gifted singer *technically* speaking, certainly not in the same category of technical fluency when it comes to Jazz singers like Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzerald, or Dinah Washington...but despite Billie Holiday's limitations as a vocalist, she was still the most influencial Jazz singer ever because she was able to convey an emotional quality that transcended those technical limitations...

And this applies to Tupac as well - there's a host of rappers who maybe had a better flow or used better metaphors and couplets in their rhymes than he did but they still weren't able to have the same impact or influence on the culture or on their listeners the way he did - I've yet to see ANY MC have the same impact, before or since his death, and it's been almost 20 yrs since he died.

If you don't place much importance on the gifts that Tupac brought to the table as an MC, then it makes sense why you're putting a premium on things like "rhyme styles" and "quotables"

I guess Dougie Fresh isn't one of the all-time greatest MCs since he has even less quotables and flows than Pac...

Please - I'll say it again: it would've been far easier for Pac to make a 'Rwady To Die' than it would for Biggie to make a 'Makaveli'...and Makaveli>>>>>>Ready to Die

^^^Laughable.

And actually speaking of writing, how many asshole inferior MC's since BIG have claimed to not write at all directly due to BIG?

Does that have anything to do with BIG's ability or catalog?

Fuck No.

Keep bringing up irrelevant shit away from their actual respective musical abilities tho.

LOL, this dude is compare Pac's echo-chamber stacked vocals, simple rhyme schemes & exagerrated inflection at the end of words with Billie Holiday's vocal stylings.

Pacistani, Please.

We're not talking about a 'lyrical/miracle' Rass Kass rapper compared to Pac, dude.

We're talking about BIG.

Who had all that shit you're talking about in spades.

He just wasn't also an actor, pin-up and ripped-from-the-headlines/living-breathing display of performance art outside the booth.

I place just the right amount of importance on Pac as an MC.

I say he was a gifted rapper who could embue tracks with emotion to overcome his repetitive ways stylistically.

He recorded a lot of good songs (lots of shitty ones too but oh well, he was in the studio knocking out 5/6 daily at points).

I have no issue with Pac, I'm just not a casual fan or a dude hung up on the extracurriculars.

He wasn't as good a rapper or rap artist as Biggie Smalls.

That's no major disgrace, you could say that about all but four or five guys all-time despite the abbreviated catalog.

This is nothing to 'admit', dude.

Nas rapping don't really have much to do with Pac or Big.

Nas is Nas.

And him or whoever 'admitting' they're fans of Pac?

Big fucking deal.

They would say the same for BIG.

What would be controversial is if any mainstream rapper actually said otherwise about either of them now that they're long gone & mythologized rap icons.

In response to Reply # 139


  

          

talking abt what Tupac meant to their career as rappers ...


>> Pac was the BEST WRITER
>>ever in HipHop...
>>
>^^^Laughable.

Eh take that up w/Em whose word I would take over yours since he is a great MC...
>
>And actually speaking of writing, how many asshole inferior

The key word is "inferior"

There have other GREAT MCs who have spoken in depth abt Pac's influence on them...Rass Kass has said that "all of us have borrowed something from Pac" but I guess he's an inferior MC...
>
>Does that have anything to do with BIG's ability or catalog?

Not at all because NOT writing down your lyrics isn't exactly a good thing for MCs to mimick but having several MCs admit that Tupac was a big influence on their career matters when we measure the influence of said MC


>Keep bringing up irrelevant shit away from their actual
>respective musical abilities tho.

It's irrelevant because you can't follow along. And if you think comparing a Billie Holiday to Tupac in terms of both of their huge impact on their respective artforms despite neither being the most technically sound demonstrates that there are qualities that an artist can hair that transcends being technically sound...

Yes, idiot, because it was often pointed out by many Jazz writers/critics during her day that she lacked range which was only ONE octave and not having a powerful delivery, ...but her central quality was "feeling" and and having an ear for intonation and her ability to stylized a song to fit her distinct vocals

Obvious you know nothing abt Billie Holiday...because comparing her to Tupac is apro pros for this topic

And yet Pac is considered the greater artist of the two - Even Biggie's own mom said "my son much of son's music was filth"...he didn't rap abt any real world problems or on any social topic - There's absolutely no way Biggie could've made "white man's world" or "blasphemy" or a song abt political prisoners...

86. "RE: Pac had a wide range of topics"
In response to Reply # 69


  

          

>Big stayed in his lane topic wise. True he could switch up
>his flow but he stayed talking about the same shit.
not really true at all, there was about 8 or 9 different 'topics' just off the first album alone.

That's why
>more people love Pac. He was more relatable.
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)
>Pac got more
>material I like but he also released more material.
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.

Plus Big
>came up when NYC was on that mafia don shit and that kinda
>boxed him in topic wise.
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.

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".

Going back to those records during
>that mid 90s era, that mafioso stuff messed up New York rap.
>Sure you got your OB4CL but you mainly got some albums that
>was just cool for the moment.

I don't know what this has to do with anything but I guess you got meander into musing about other shit when actually comparing these two guys as MC's if you're taking Pac's side of it musically.

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,

and better songs, got it.

False. Makaveli was completed in 7 days prior to his death. Hence the album title The 7 Day Theory.

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.

>
>I don't know what this has to do with anything but I guess you

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.

Warning is a classic storytelling caper deploying multiple characters speaking, Gimme The Loot is a stick-up anthem with Biggie rapping as multiple characters/voices, Me & My Bitch is a storytelling love song, Ready To Die delves into the paranoia/depression/nihilism later echoed in Suicidal Thoughts, One More Chance/Big Poppa are straight club/party records, Friend of Mine is about opportunistic women.

Add that up to the ones you listed and you got enough.

Lots of topics, even while maintaining a narrative thread and maintaining the same trouble protagonist throughout.

I did a 30-page Senior Seminar English paper in college contrasting this album with 'Native Son' by Richard Wright.

There's plenty of meat on the bone here and it's a more complete body of work than any album Pac ever made by a JFK-to-LAX level of distance.

The album was still put together, mixed, packaged, arranged & released posthumously, genius.

I'm familiar with the backstory but thanks anyway.

LOL, let's start with a storytelling joint Pac had on par with any of Big's Top 5 just to make me laugh.

That's fine, that's your opinion because you're a fan, I actually consider myself a fan of both as well.

But when it comes to the art of actually rapping/music-and-album/song-making, none of the actual nuts-and-bolts in terms of lyricism or music theory really hold up in favor of Pac as an MC.

In response to Reply # 53


          

Diddy was all about the upbeat, party records.

Pac was making nothing but gangster music. I wouldn't even call California Love a party song since it's so aggressive. I Get Around and maybe How Do You Want It count as Pac's party songs.

'California Love' 'Hail Mary' are songs I still hear (often) by Tupac...they even play a lot of his music on adult old school R& B music...

And if you've traveled overseas, his music is still played heavily as compared to Biggie whose music I never heard when I traveled.

but I have heard 'Brenda's. Got A Baby' played recently on the radio, not the more mainstream radio station though

But also I hear Pac's music played in dudes ridin by in the car way more than I hear some passer-by playing Biggie's music

and I dont go to clubs that often but any lounge, club, etc where I have fell up in the last few years aint playing Pac like that...

Like you said, its music for niggas in the whip and honestly, that isnt really saying much IMO because when its time to please a crowd, Pac aint the answer.

If you live out west its obvious why you hear more Pac but be honest...You aint hearing it that much.

I think you may be romantacizing a little...

The old school R&B station where I'm at

As far as clubs, like I said, I haven't been to one lately but there was a time when the DJ would get to the classics and he (or she) would play a lot of Pac...and Biggie to be fair but several of the rappers who had passed...but that was a few years ago

Nowadays, I have no idea of what old school rapper still gets played in the club...shit, I don't hear Nas played like that either in the club and he's still on the scene (Camron said last year that he was in a club and they played Nas and the females didn't want to hear Nas - he said they "didn't want to have to be bring a thesaurus to the club to have to understand his lyrics lol)

66. "yep."
In response to Reply # 65


  

          

although i prefer biggie to 2pac
that's just my personal preference
across the board more people fuck with 2pac
going back to my initial response
he gave the people a lot more to relate to
i just wasn't really a fan of his rap style
(while we're here biggie was never a favorite either. like i fuck with him but
i've always liked a bunch of other rappers over him.)

from a sales/mythology perspective.

Still don't mean his music remotely approaches any of theirs.

Keep on telling me about stuff I already know like the fact that Pac was a more popular poster on the wall and that he connects with more casual rap fans.

Then ask me if I give a fuck.

Ok, and? Lol, the post is about stature.
Pac's stature is rising because of reasons outside of music, and deservedly so, imo.

Music itself is gonna be a subjective discussion anyway... especially between two cats
with different styles and strengths.

hands down thats pacs BEST album

and none of you 35 and up pac riders even mentioned it
Did complex do an article on it??
i find that quite odd

makes me feel like ppl mostly cared about Pacs antics
and not his music which sucks because that was his BEST album

Meanwhile every march 9th IG and twitter go crazy with biggie quotes

you buggin my g
Big's staying power is still here Ask Rick Ross

now thats not to say ppl dont love pac

but lets not act like Big is long and forgotten
Big Poppa sets the summer off like no other song
hell that or one more chance rivals ANY pac summertime smash

as long as Diddy is still arounds niggas Big will still be remembered

hell do the outlaws even ride for pac like that anymore?


i know mad pac verses and i know mad biggie verses
and yeah Big was definitely a better RAPPER

Complex is east coast. Why would they do Pac features like that? It's the same bias that went on in the 90s. Sure east coast cats got a few records they dig outside of their region but they be biased about that too. Ask most east coast cats their favorite Ice Cube album and they'll tell you Amerikkka's Most Wanted. Why? The Bomb Squad produced it.

Where did I mention a west coast bias? Not in my reply anywhere and we're talking about artists from the 90s. I got plenty of New York cats that don't fuck with Pac till this day because of his beef with Biggie. Did you not hear the Funk Flex rant several years ago? And this is 10+ years after Pac died. There may be no bias now and that's mostly because New York ain't had a new guy in the running on a mainstream level in a minute but when it comes to that era, a lot of them aren't fucking with Pac.

But he did have one of his all-time best tracks on there 'Shed So Many Tears' in which you could say there wasn't any single on 'Makeveli' that could top or match that song

Outlaw
Fuxk the world
Death around the corner


Makaveli was a mixed bag imo
An emotionally charged album but his judgment and
Message we clouded by beef


Matw just seemed like his msg was pretty clear and concise
It actually was like a calm before the storm imo
He wasn't completely angry and he was
Really looking at himself

Sound wise it appealed to a wide range of ppl too

In response to Reply # 64


          

I dont see people showing love for either of these 2 like some are suggesting.

Both are well respected and Pac definitely touched more hearts because he was more political but it aint like Pac is still rising. He peaked a while ago just like Biggie.

Pac needs a movie tho...

and look at all the rappers/producers/DJs/anybody associated w/HipHop that will come up and offer some never-heard-before story or experience they had w/him...and most of the stories are fairly recent stories being told which still shows his impact on the culture almost 20 yrs later

Can't say the same for Biggie - because, again, outside of being a good or even great rapper, there wasn't a whole lot to his life story or anything all that interesting abt him as a personality

Of course because this is HipHop where the younger generations don't have an appreciation for their history like other artists from different genres which is why you may not hear discussions abt him as much as you once did...like 12-15 yrs ago

But it's not like ppl have forgotten abt him lol

And yes, he does need and deserve a movie on his life

And tbh I really didn't think Biggie deserved a movie but I don't get to make those decisions - I just didn't think there was anything particularly interesting abt his life that was worthy of a movie being made - his life story reads no different than just abt any ol NY rapper

do w/the fact that I had low expectations of it to begin with

And if being murdered makes you worthy of having a movie made abt your life then I guess I better get ready for a lot of rappers like Big L or Freaky Tah having a movie made on their life lol

But seriously, I didn't think a movie needed to be made on his life notwithstanding him being murdered...Biggie wasn't really a fascinating personality to me

On the other hand I know lots of young people who know at least one Biggie verse.

This entire post has come as a surprise to me. None of my friends talk about Pac with any regularity, and I don't think I've ever been at a party and a Pac joint came on, I mean you don't hear a lot of Biggie either, but I hear more of him than I do Pac.

Pac was an average rapper with above average content and a contradictory public persona with no party james as far as I'm concerned and I've heard other people who were too young (or unborn) to really listen to Pac when he was alive say similar things.

That was and forever will be my shit.

On another note I like BIG a lot but I don't listen to his albums at all. I don't listen to Pac much these days but I would put on Me Against The World before any of BIG's albums. Ready To Die is one of the worst "classic" hip hop albums. I don't consider it a classic. Classic songs...sure but not album.

club hits, for sure. "Get money" surely ain't more hype, but both can go hard.

"California love" is just more of a mixed club hit to me.

The song was practically MADE for holding your drink in one hand while it's extended full length in the air......swaying back & forth to the beat..

Even if you weren't into rap you saw him in Juice or Poetic Justice

Sure Biggie did a cameo on Martin but that ain't the same

In response to Reply # 111


          

Big's legacy with the younger generation.

37 mill domestic box office
8 mill international

30 mill in DVD sales

No doubt Juice made Pac into a star during his youth but Poetic Justice was ass juice.

we are talking about the love for BIG peaking and I don't see how people can say that without admitting Pac's love peaked years ago.

Both have peaked as far as the love by the masses. They still have fans but the crazy love has leveled off.

ain't no one checking for these 2 for obvious reasons.

Pac definitely has more stannish type fans tho.. but those types of fans have a hard time dealing with reality.

Still has a movie coming. Arguably the greatest working right now praising him as an idol.

It just seems like Pac had the persona and Biggie had the music.

They're just celebrated in different ways.

I hear more of Biggie's music and I see a lot of art and t-shirts with Biggie, but no one really quoting him or his messages. There really isn't much else out there of him, just his likeness and some hits.

I still see pics of Pac on #mcm lol and his quotes, but I don't really hear his music much. Outside of the music, u do have his poetry, acting, his family and controversy.

The romanticization. The reading of his poetry. The failed Broadway play. Vomit.

I'm actually glad that we don't try to deify Biggie in that way. He was an aint shit nigga who somehow did improbable shit with his life. His music lives on in clubs, on the radio, and other party settings moreso than Pac's. They live post-mortemly in different lanes.

In response to Reply # 0


          

Unity.
Was out here calling for truces among gangs, had their respect, etc.

I mean, I don't know why it's surprising that the man's legacy lives on the way it does.
He was a complex individual in a way that Biggie wasn't
When have you seen Biggie speak TRULY PASSIONATELY about the well being of Black people
and the next generation like Pac did at the Malcolm X dinner speech?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex4PtkmLvgo

He went down the wrong path and did the wrong shit, but hell that just made him more
relatable to alotta folks in the end. The activism level he started out on just inspires
cats to wanna be like Pac before he wigged out and shit.
