Biggie was the first rapper (before Jay-Z) to diss Nas for not getting royalties whenever Illmatic is sampled.
Enough said?It was a sales battle. Kanye won.

Cats forget that BIG and Nas had a low key beef going on. In fact, many of the most prominent NYC rappers of that period didn't like BIG (Ghost, Rae, Bootcamp Click, Jeru etc.). They considered him to be everything that was wrong with the game at that point. I remember listening to the Stretch & Bobbito Show back in 95 when I lived in New Rochelle. One night, a parade of callers took turns shitting on him and on Hot 97 for supporting him. There was A LOT of hate for BIG within New York back then. He never really had the full support of the entire city when he was alive.

You must have got the names mixed up because it is actually the other way around...just human error, I guess...
Hip Hop is better without BIG. 2PAC was the most tragic lost in rapmusic history. Rest in peace to him - the greatest to ever bless a mic.
2 Pac left a lot of wanna be thugs how is that influential ? Pac was in the game 10 years and barely went gold (Muhfuckas wasn't really feeling him) until he started a rap beef, Biggie came out the gate going platinum, so now tell me who had more influence
this so funny very laughable
He was redundant but dude changed the game
You can't deny Pacs influence to the game bruh...

Benda's got a baby
Dear Momma
I Wonder if Heaven got a ghetto
Changes
So Many Tears
You can't deny Pacs influence to the game bruh...
Only song I can think from Big that was on some other shit was Sky is the limit
SHAKING MY HEAD AT NY NINJAS...AND THEY WILL SWEAR UP AND DOWN THAT BIG WAS THE BEST BUT THEY DIDNT EVEN SUPPORT DUDE TO THE FULLEST, WHEN HE WAS ALIVE...

Or Kool Moe Dee vs. Busy Bee. Which is why I don't take Rolling Stone as an authority on Hip Hop
I'm about as far from a Tupac fan as one can get, and I agree with your "Hennessy/Enemies" comment. However, saying that Hip-Hop is better with dude gone really crosses a line. To even suggest that makes it sound like dude was just a Black Hole of negativity that sucked the life out of the culture.
I never cared for his music, and still find him to be wildly overrated, but his contributions to the game were significant. Some were good, some were bad, but all were noteworthy. There are times where I still wonder how he would have developed had he lived to the present day.
I liked BIG better. Yeah, I'm from NY, so the usual biases and arrogance factor into my opinions (I'm human. Sue me). That being said, PAC was and is WAY more influential than BIG. That's not to say that BIG didn't exert a long lasting influence on the game that can still be felt, but C'mon. BIG himself was inspired by PAC, as well as the entire West Coast Gangsta movement. Let's not revise history here.
