nas has much more diverse hip hop music and he is a more philosophical, pac has more poetry with dear mama, keep your head up and alot of agressive hood shit but i like nas more.
2Pac is the best to me because you could feel the message in songs like Dear Mama, Ghetto Gospel, or Life Goes On. Nas, he is also amazing, he is a lyricist genius, buy I think 2Pac is better but they are both in my top 3. 2Pac first, Nas 2nd, Bizzy Bone 3rd.
Well, Rakim kills them both...but Nas is wearing thin for me. I mean, there's brothers like Black Thought, Black Dove, K-Rino, Masta Ace, etc who have style and wisdom, dope lyricism and plenty of erudite content. 2-Pac reached a certain level, set the trend for musicality in rap, not to mention attitude. His potential was GREAT! But the whole gangster aspect blunted his lyrical muscle: there's only so much you can rap about thug life. Overall, Nas, but that's not fair. Try Rakim vs Nas.
Nas is better, Pac can't touch him in terms of Lyricism, flow and Storytelling, and enough with the bullshit "Pac inspired so many people" when Nas says "I am the truest name a rapper that i ain't influenced" It's the truth, the only reason Pac touched so many peoples hearts was because he was more mainstream, I used to listen to Pac and Eminem all day but when i first started listening to Nas he inspired me to actually start writing i have so much respect for him he is the G.O.A.T.
@SmoothRobot and how can you not realize these things? are you stuck on eminem and Big L? cuz Big Pun, Rakim, Kool G, GZA are all better imop.. and if you're looking for music that will hype u up by tupac or some gangster rap he has plenty of those too like Ballad of a Dead Soulja, Hit Em Up, Ghost, Troublesome 96, Bomb First, Hail Mary, Big Tyme, World Wide Mobb Figures, Heartz of Men, ambitionz as a rider, the list goes on + unconditional love = more emotional then anything em ever put out
@SmoothRobot and imop Big L and Eminem are the most overrated rappers ever and the only reason their fans d-ride them is because they're arrogant and don't pay attention to the lyrics and just straight don't know crap about what real rap is.. real rap doesn't involve a whole lot of profanity and horror core stuff like Big L talked about.. Big L and Eminem are good but they're still technically new school. it's not hard @ all to make horror-core rhymes like popped a glock, @ ya notch til ya drop
@SmoothRobot Pac also has more powerful metaphors then Eminem.. Eminem calls his two girls beautiful, pac calls his mother a black queen
pac has made way more emotional tracks then eminem, and of better content, and eminem may have solid flowing skills but there have been plenty of rappers with a more natural feeling flow, and more enlightening content to their actual rhymes.. Stop paying attention to the beats so much and pay attention to the actual lyric n Big L aint the best punchline artist

practically every word rhymed + look @ the content wording and vocabulary.. 2pac was GOAT. No one can top him.. Pac made over 10 albums within his short career. completed an album in a week.. the list goes on
@SmoothRobot the list of emotional tracks goes on Pac never rapped for awards or achievements...he only wanted to spread the truth abt hardships all poor ppl faced...i am not saying eminem is bad.....within a small career pac sold 75 m ...got highest sales in rap,,,,completed an album in 7 days....got the best diss track......got the most no of albums in hip hop than anyone......Pac is a freakin poet......noone can be compared to him....the only close ones were Nas and Big !!! Eminem admits tht
@SmoothRobot ur retarded how could eminem have the emotion? you don't know shit about rap dude, how could you possibly say Eminem had the emotion? When tupac made more emotional tracks and better emotional content to those tracks listen to
thugz mansion, unconditional love, me against the world, changes, ghetto gospel, keep ya head up, the list goes on... 2pac had everything dude,
@SmoothRobot wtfk are u fucking retarded or something???/ 2pac can murder these bitches any day, 2pac just didnt get no chance to these rappers otherways u would realise what ur talking about, 2pac king of all kings his infinite
@SmoothRobot Eminem the emotion? come on dude. y he had emotion in his songs,but he is a lyrical beast. Nas is gr8 lyricist, but i would prefer Em in lyrics
@Michaelmyers123ify lmfao. listen 2 songs like 'i gave you power' 'undying love' 'nas is like' how is he trash. hes a lot better than pac and eminem. tbhall 2 of those rappers r overrated. pac was never that good overrated as fuck. eminem couldnt make an album 2 save his life and has awful consistency. nas is slightly overrated cuz hes got bad consistency but he aint really that overrated but saying hes trash is just stupid. at his best nas was a beast and possibly top 5.
@SmoothRobot honestly I think you're probs a kid but I won't get mad @ ur arrogance since u obv haven't grown up listening to them.. but seriously Big L is overrated and so is Eminem they aren't that great lyricist.. I think Em has multis though and is one of the best to do it (during the time he actualy put in effort) and L is gifted but his lyrics themself aren't that complex he just got the natural skill I guess, shame he got shot b4 he was gonna blow up though ;l
@StreamerVideo Em is an emotional rapper, He expresses many emotions. Listen to things like Mockingbird, If I Had, The Way I Am, Difficult, etc. Are you stupid? I see you on every vid talkin about Em. Em is one of the most emotional rappers ever. Him, DMX, and Pac. He is able to express emotions while combining complex rhyme schemes with content and a versatile flow.
@TheColorfulCube well from my experience Em has very few emotional songs and they're usually only about his own stuff.. I mean ye when he does get emotional he's legendary but I kinda think that maybe he should make more songs about the sad things that happen on the street in general rather than only his life.. but ye I agree with you.
Eminem isnt a street rapper, so what if it's about himself? Thats the type of rapper he is, you have this weird way of thinking that if Em doesnt rap about the streets he isnt a good rapper. lol. Not everyone raps about the streets and they dont have to. People actually relate to his personal problems which is why he talks about himself. Not everyone is a fake thug like 2Pac, or lies about their street lives like Biggie. Em is just being himself.
@TheColorfulCube ye that's what I'm saying the reason why Pac reached out was because he talked from more experience about the problems of this world n stuff the struggles of life, Em was a lil one dimensional anyone can rap about themself but it don't matter cuz he was so skilled and able to put the audience in his life so that we could also feel what's going on so I was just saying
@TheColorfulCube but dude how r u gonna say 2pac or Biggie were fake thugs and lied about their lives? That's more of Big L, I mean if you watch the Biggie smalls movie you'll see that he really did drug deal have guns.. how are you gonna call pac a fake thug? Jesus just listen to their music and watch documentaries of them, you'll see they really did go to jail and they really were born in brooklyn and really did grow up in the hood, they were being themselves..
@StreamerVideo Pac was fake, he was a ballerina and an actor. He made up that whole "thug" image for sales. There's a vid of him on youtube when he was 17, he was never hard. He was more feminine as a kid. He was soft and didnt like crime. That doesnt take away from the messages in his music, but he still was fake. That's known.
@StreamerVideo Biggie is very fake and made up his life story. Even Biggies OWN MOM said that Biggie lied about selling drugs etc for street cred and to look harder for the rap community. He was just as fake as Pac. He may have grown up in the hood but that doesnt mean anything, all the shit he said like "having no food on the table as a kid etc" was a lie. He wasnt as broke as he claimed. He wasnt hard at all. Most rappers who act hard are fakes.
@TheColorfulCube This is actually very true. I don't remember reading it or seeing a interview, but she definitely said it, cause I still remember it. I want to look it up again, where did you find it? For someone to lie so much and paint such a vivid picture is incredible. I hated the fact that he kept saying: I swear to God. I don't believe him when he said that shit.
@TheColorfulCube if u wanna name a rapper who talks allot of shit about stuff he didn't do I think Big L and Fat Joe are more appropiate for that.. and once again I was just saying PAc and Biggie were legit and actually grew up on the streets so they can talk about it from a more experienced point of view (obviously) still dude c'mon em has more songs that are made up/fake so don't try to justify Em was legit PAc and Big weren't
@StreamerVideo Eminem never acted like a gangster so he wasnt fake. All the psycho shit he did was just playing around and he told everyone that. When he talked about his personal life it was all true. He didnt make up stories about his personal life like Biggie, Pac, etc. He told true stories about his life like on Brain Damage etc.
@TheColorfulCube In Everyday Struggle Biggie weaves in a story of drug dealing and violence, with a perfect staccato (jumpy) flow. He leaves an inconclusive ending " Should I quit shit no even though they got me scared yo they got a eight I got a tech with air holes". That summed up the mentality of drug dealers and the futility of their risk taking lives. Just watch documentaries of them and stuff I think you'd resepct em allot more
@SmoothRobot I think that Pac also has the lyrics since he's also the heart..If you're looking for lyrics then you start with Big Pun or Kool G, if you're looking for individuals who appeal to the masses or teach then you're looking for a Tupac of maybe KRS 1 type, if you're looking for smooth poets or just smooth brothers overall your going with Nas or A.Z , slow methodical flow that sounds good period then your going with B.I.G. Hip-hop is not defined by just those common 4
@SmoothRobot LOL Eminem had the emotion? dude u dnt know shit about what ur talking about, the main reason PAc is known is for emotion and heart... how could you possibly say em is an emotional rapper? and todays eminem isn't even good @ all.. he'll make a good song here and there but his overall album quality now sucks... but thank you for realizing that Big L was mainly a punchline artist, but u should remember that a real artist shouldn't rely on punchlines
They are both some of the best mc's. They both got extraordinary lyrics, enormous heart and good flow. And both of em' give grate messages in their music.
@mrdjoyahs i aint got nothin on the beatles but mike was world wide artist than the beatles..MIKE=,japan,asia,africa,usa,australia,alaska,south am,gemany,spain and etc ...BEATLES=europe and usa,thats it bro!
@MrDjoyahs They say the Beatles because they played all their instruments and wrote the music. But to me Mike is the greatest entertainer. Stevie is on a whole nother level,Songs in the Key of life may be the best album ive ever heard. But Sam Cooke is the greatest singer of all
@SmoothRobot his skills are okay but he was good free styler and battler though but i dont feel his songs that much you can listen to them couple of times and then they get boring
I don't think he fell off, have you guys heard his verse on lil wayne-the outro? hes also doing a project with premier called reGeneration. he has a unlisted youtube link on his facebook profile. its hot. hes worked with (mobb deep-dog shit & Common-ghetto dreams) His new album life is good is about to drop. Listen to Nasty, which already has a music video out on youtube.
DIS SHIT ANIT FAIR MAN WHO DID DIS 2PAC IS THA BEST NOBODY IS NEAR HIM NOT BIGGIE NOT NAS NOT JAY Z NOT EMINEM NOT T.I. NOT LIL WAYNE U NAME AND THEY WILL FALL AGAINST TUPAC MAN
Pac had a strong voice that hit like a razor, if you've heard enough of his songs, you know what im talking about. Nas, Jayz, and some of those other cats are excellent lyracists but their voices just didn't hit as hard
@jayd4ever ya but i guess thats why its my opinion dont get me wrong every once and a while a listen to artist like Rick Ross and lil Wayne but i like to hear lyrical people and nas is as lyrical as it gets
2pac has had 4 all-time great albums nas has had 1 with 3 ok albums and pac has 2 recorded way more songs so wouldnt that make pac the better lyricist an more heart and emotion nas wanted the beef to stop cuz he knew pac was a better lyricist go listen 2 hit em up which is better lyrically than ether
@RIPPAC25 Illmatic,It Was Written,Stillmatic,Lost Tapes,God Son,and Untitled were all classic. Pac best album Me Against the World,All Eyes on Me and Macavelli were cool but not great
@jayd4ever my man you need to listen to more of nas content before you say illmatic and thats it. He has way more hot joints then just illmatic, of course its his landmark album but don't limit him by that alone. Trust allow your ears to listen and you will like what you hear, forget what your minds is telling you that his words and content doesn't pertain to you.
@yoedgar17 yes agree but his most lyrical abillity is shown in illmatic and not as much on his other albums even though alot of them were okay albums and his also known for his beef with jay z
both excellent rappers, only hiphop kings i know the rest is all vague compared to these two, im glad before Pac died he and Nas burried there swords and where friends again
@DBWJ100 lyrics = pac, flow = pac, message depends.. They're both good @ one or the other thing depending on the occasion/song but Tupac def had more heart n wisdom truth, NAS was more of a message methodical story-like flow kinda guy
Nas explains what happens, Pac explains the morals kinda
@2PacTheGodOfRap Nas isn't really a sellout , listen to his new song ghetto dreams , nothing selling out with that song. I have no problem with you not liking nas , i just don't think you should call him a shitty rapper , because he isn't....he probably just doesn't appeal to you , just like how tupac doesn't really appeal to me.
@2PacTheGodOfRap No i listen to wutang , the roots , cormega , mos def , common , rakim , big daddy kane , elzhi , binary star. I doubt you even know about the people i listen to. Um I don't listen to new school. I listen mostly 90's rap.
@2PacTheGodOfRap Dumbass , you basically repeated what i just said. You actually are pathetic. Your mom should have swallowed you. lol , retard i said you act like a bieber fangirl. Nas > Pac . The way you spell and your so called disses resemble a pre schooler. I bet you would even like pac as much if he didn't die...
@2PacTheGodOfRap lame , you call me a kid but you sound like a 12 year old. Is that all you can really say ? pathetic . Since when was i a nerd ? You honestly you do sound like a mad justin bieber fangirl. Now fuck off and keep beating your dick to tupacs picture.
@2PacTheGodOfRap Lol , ironic how you call out all "nas stans" , while you're dickriding tupac like no tomorrow. You're actually the biggest stan here. Just look at all your comments you're taking dickriding to the extreme. I find it pretty fucking sad that you only listen to one fucking rapper. Unlike most hip hop heads , who listen to various artists , instead of just one. Also to call nas a worthless fuckface , just shows how much you know about rap in general.
I'm suprised to see people are, mostly, sayin nas. ''On the real'' Nas has better lyrical ability n all that but aint no other rapper talk to me like 'Pac does. Too hard to choose but if I had to it would probably have to be pac. Overall a much more inspirational mc!
fuck you and youre mothafuckin opinions and get tha fuck outta here you stupid little boy fuckin 2pac dick rider. And why neew school? Nas is old school you punk ass mothafucka go fuck youre daddy in his dirty pussyhole
@2PacTheGodOfRap do you see ? youre just a fucked up little boy who dont know nothing about hip hop nas is better look at the highest rated comment and shut the fuck up
@2PacTheGodOfRap maybe thats y he wasnt that good? he rushed things? listen to the words and how he rhymes compared to other rappers. sorry, but eminem has sold more records than him if u think sales matter
i was actually rele suprised to see nas as both top comments. not cuz he sucks but cuz everyone normally says pac. i cant decide whos better myself doe
@2PacTheGodOfRap yea he had a good message that doesnt mean his lyrics are better. Nas is just the greatest. 2Pac cant rap better than nas. and biggie and pun and Definatley Nig L are better than 2Pac. be honest, Pac is very overrated. He's more of an activist than a pure rapper. he even said he was thinkin about quitting rap and just doin movies before he died. And this is coming from someone who has evry 2pac and nas albums. Illmatic> Every 2pac album
nas and pac are one of the greatest emcees of all time. why yall have to argue who the best? both of them the best. if pac was alive, nas and pac would be one of the best collaboration in hip hop history
ugh, they're 1st and second best it doesnt actually matter which is better, its just obvious they're the two best, ever.
i think Nas is 1st as he's been going for nearly 10 years now, though of course 2pac had such a large effect on the world bearing in mind he was only active in rap for about 5 years.
do your research and consider all the factors before just saying ones better than the other.
omfg all you 2 oac riders are pissing me off fuck you yo fucking stupid niggas loom at nas lyics and story telling you dont no shit about rap 2 pac had like 2 album i think listen to the beat there wack fuck 2 pac to many stupid fucking downsydrmes behind him rakim,big l,guru,nas and easily better
why this nigga not play the 2pac diss songs on nas that pussy couldnt even come back on pac cuz he know he would of lost. Not saying Nas sucks He was one of the best rappers in the 90s, Now? noone likes him his last album sold like 30,000 i think less and hes now dust in the wind. 2pac if he didnt die he would still be sellin millions for real. Dont deny it. Both 2pac and nas my opinion were both lyrically even.
Niggas Pacs dick as a poet , Nas is a better poet and MC ( my favorite MC ) , as for Biggie he wasn't real and he wasn't good at poetry but on some hip hop shit with Biggies rhythm scheme would RIP pac to shit
@narutogeass1 who the fuck are those faggots??? except Lupe but lets be real hes not keeping anything alive.. if anyone is to keep hip-hop its Dr. Dre, Game, and Cube but they're not getting much publicity with all this lil wayne and soulja boy, chris brown shit
@StraightUpMenace17 "faggots" bruh "dr.dre and game" hell naw they aint doing shit,game was the shit on that lax but he still aint got shit on j.cole,jay electronica liston to the people i posted nigga jay electronica is better then pac lyrically j.cole just like pac you should liston to them before you run off your fuckin mouth and i mean liston to em lyrically they bringing hip hop back.
@narutogeass1 dude just face it with today's shitty artists its obvious hip hop is dead.. hip hop died when nwa disbanded, when eazy-e died, when 2pac got shot, when biggie got shot, when in the early 00's no one could bring it back and now its just dead... all yu can do now is reminisce that 90's shit that i be bangin everyday showin these kids that Dr. Dre, Game, Snoop, Pac, Nas, Biggie, Bone Thugs, Eazy-E are the real hip hop...
2pac!!! obviously !! if you ask me is nas the best rapper ever? I would easily tell you NO I doubt it theres better rappers then him BUT if you ask me is tupac the best rapper ever I would easily tell you..YEZZZ 2pac was ahead of his time what he did in short amount of time was amazing noone can do what pac did and even tho he is dead I Still hear people listening to his music nd always will I cant say the same about nas. so tupac is better!!!!!!!!!!
2Pac is fukin overrated like shit. So many dumb Tupac dick riders haven't heard the best albums like RtD and Illmatic. Just coz 2pac was more famous don't make him better than anyone. Anyway Ether FUCKING SHITS ON HIT EM UP. Ether is without doubt up there with the best diss songs like No Vaseline.
Pac was Bigger then nas, not everyone knew about him. But Pac was huge in his time. So when he died, he became immortal. Nas is the better in my opinoin, I could always feel his music and wordplay. The best story teller ever.
pac was the best imo but its nothing against nas. Tupac had a ability to write and connect with the listener and tell a story like no one else. I also think pac was a more diverse rapper than nas. They are different and had very different writing styles so it comes down to a matter of opinion and preference, but being honest they are 1 and 2. Big had some good stuff but most of his stuff didn't touch 2pac/nas level. Ems a great rapper but most of his songs suck, but hes still better than most.

@StreamerVideo Eminem never acted like a gangster so he wasnt fake. All the psycho shit he did was just playing around and he told everyone that. When he talked about his personal life it was all true. He didnt make up stories about his personal life like Biggie, Pac, etc. He told true stories about his life like on Brain Damage etc.

@TheColorfulCube In Everyday Struggle Biggie weaves in a story of drug dealing and violence, with a perfect staccato (jumpy) flow. He leaves an inconclusive ending " Should I quit shit no even though they got me scared yo they got a eight I got a tech with air holes". That summed up the mentality of drug dealers and the futility of their risk taking lives. Just watch documentaries of them and stuff I think you'd resepct em allot more

@SmoothRobot I think that Pac also has the lyrics since he's also the heart..If you're looking for lyrics then you start with Big Pun or Kool G, if you're looking for individuals who appeal to the masses or teach then you're looking for a Tupac of maybe KRS 1 type, if you're looking for smooth poets or just smooth brothers overall your going with Nas or A.Z , slow methodical flow that sounds good period then your going with B.I.G. Hip-hop is not defined by just those common 4

@SmoothRobot LOL Eminem had the emotion? dude u dnt know shit about what ur talking about, the main reason PAc is known is for emotion and heart... how could you possibly say em is an emotional rapper? and todays eminem isn't even good @ all.. he'll make a good song here and there but his overall album quality now sucks... but thank you for realizing that Big L was mainly a punchline artist, but u should remember that a real artist shouldn't rely on punchlines

Unlike most hip hop heads , who listen to various artists , instead of just one. Also to call nas a worthless fuckface , just shows how much you know about rap in general.

I'm suprised to see people are, mostly, sayin nas. ''On the real'' Nas has better lyrical ability n all that but aint no other rapper talk to me like 'Pac does. Too hard to choose but if I had to it would probably have to be pac. Overall a much more inspirational mc!

pac was the best imo but its nothing against nas. Tupac had a ability to write and connect with the listener and tell a story like no one else. I also think pac was a more diverse rapper than nas. They are different and had very different writing styles so it comes down to a matter of opinion and preference, but being honest they are 1 and 2. Big had some good stuff but most of his stuff didn't touch 2pac/nas level. Ems a great rapper but most of his songs suck, but hes still better than most.
