Biggie was the better talent. Tupac had like 5 or 6 albums at T.O.D. and Biggie had only 2. Biggie's impact on rap was almost as big as Pac's with just 2 albums. Biggie had a diamond album (only diamond album by a gangster rapper*). Pac did not.

* Outkast and MC Hammer have the only other 2 diamond hip hop albums

I stand corrected, though I wouldn't compare a "greatest hits" album that took 13 years (one month ago) to go diamond to Life After Death. LAD went diamond in 3 years.

I wasn't contradicting you. I was reaffirming that my point remains the same. Biggie made a much bigger bang with 1 of his 2 albums than Tupac did with any of his 6 or so.

Tupac was more intimidating, but anyone who suggests he was better lyrically hasn't been listening. Big is the best rapper of all time.

A certain Queensbridge native has something to say about that.

Biggie was probably better lyrically, but as a total package nobody has comes close to Pac and probably never will.

Pac also turned me off because when it comes to social issues he tried to act like he was an activist and his rantings were beyond idiotic.

What does selling records have to do with how great they were?

Biggie was great, Pac was great, I like them both and had always thought that Pac was better by a longshot until recently, still think Pac was better but it is a close race and you can't go wrong with either one.

?...Well for one, it's the reason they were in the business. This isn't indy rock. Rappers don't rhyme about being counterculture, they brag about how many records they sell. It's their own preferred barometer.
