Melle Mel of the Furious Five explains why he considers 2Pac great and why he doesn't consider Biggie Smalls as a great.

[Gazoo]

I guess I agree.

After all he was part of the greatest rap act of all time.

 

[Cannibal]

Pac was nice, but B.I.G was nicer. Sorry. Bigs rhymes were cleverer, rhymed better, better flow and wasn't as harsh.

Mel must have ties to the west coast, he is always uppin west coast m.cs

back when new york thought ice t's rap game was corny as fuck..

Mel would be like... nah ice tea cool peoples..

we were like we aint say nothing about him being cool people...

we just said he sucked...

but Mel was like nah yall got to meet he cool as fuck...

we was like we good...

then we saw the hoes ice t was leaving with..

and we were like oh shit..

dat muthafucka really is a pimp.....

 

[wwetv100]

The irony is that Tupac gave reverence in his song "old school" and Biggie wore his influences on his sleeve in "Juicy"

That said, reverence has to work both ways. If your father tried to diminish your accomplishments and challenge you to a fist fight you wouldn't have much reverence for him either.

I get it about the sons wanting the father's accolades and respect. There is an argument there. I also see the argument about the father leaving the house coming back to see the foundation of the house he built in ruins because the son only sees the beauty of the work he did on the upper deck of attic.

[Backshot Bully]

Instigating a foolish beef between the so called east coast and west coast even though his ass was born in New York and raised in Baltimore.

Getting involved in a gang brawl in a Las Vegas hotel that got his silly ass killed.

Making a handful of shitty movies.

Putting 'I drink henessy over my enemies in every other song.

Causing a surge in Hennessy and Alize sales in the mid 90s cause negros thought it was cool to drink.

He was the first dude I saw with a nose ring which at the time I thought was a rather feminine thing to do. Who am I kidding shit is still feminine.

And probably was the inspiration of Gangstaliscious.

First big name artist who hustled backwards.

On a sidenote yall do know this dude was at the school of performing arts and took ballet which means nigga wore a tutu.

Out of curiosity who’s the best and what’s your criteria?

He tallking Big Meech, Larry the hoover.
Swalloing kids, hallalujah

 

[DJ]

Nothing to dare.

It's subjective there is no authority or definitive

Both great artists
I listen to 2pac and relate to his music way more. and especially now.

And all my memories, of seein' brothers bleed
And everybody grieves, but still nobody sees
Recollect your thoughts don't get caught up in the mix
'Cause the media is full of dirty tricks

Dear mama, can you save me? And fuck peace
'Cause the streets got our babies, we gotta eat
No more hesitation each and every black male's trapped
And they wonder why we suicidal runnin' 'round strapped
Mista, Police, please try to see that it's
A million motherfuckers stressin' just like me

LBO, you think you roll with Pac cuz you from the bay tho ?

 

[Don Coreleone]

I'll say this about Biggie at least he did do some street shit. I mean he got arrested for slinging. At least he wasn't about hustling backwards

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

LBO, you think you roll with Pac cuz you from the bay tho ?

Nah because I was a biggie fan when he was alive too

I never bought into east vs west

Big is a great rapper his flow was crazy

Pack had the message and the ability to make you feel over time I've valued being able to make you emotional over strictly bars big had charisma too no doubt so it's not to take away

But pac made you feel a way on ambitions as a ridah
And the complete opposite on life goes on

That's not lost on me

You also know he saw a brotha being harassed by off duty cops and shot the fucking cops

Personally I'd value that over selling crack

That's just me

I can dig it.
My aspect is similar.
I like Big music, but I felt Pac.
The hurt, the pain, the struggle.
The come up, the way out the hood.
Pac laid it down, I could relate, and I felt what he was spittin.
I never got that from Big music.

what's going on in here?

biggie slander?

Big's music had feeling, substance and emotion and a unique perspective of a young man in Brooklyn

that is undeniable

and it was just a DIFFERENT way of expressing that emotion.

 

[playahaitian]

Nope

Of course not but I think this continued narrative of Big music not having "substance" is lazy.

I ain't from Brooklyn.

Not having as much doesn't mean it's void of it.
