and niggas will call you crazy for saying this

i mean just look at the first 5

If BIG lived on he probably would've won this contest. But Pac had a ton of material and had at least 2 huge hits per project.

AEOM overhated on here--KTT's third favorite Pac album. But that album is like a greatest hits compilation man lol s*** is crazy from start to finish with maybe only 1-2 bad songs out of 27.

If it was a versuz and you play any of Jay's hits from that era, and then play BIG's--it's over. No contest. TKO. Check mate. W.e you wanna call it lol

10 for 10, 15 for 15, 20 for 20 etc... he's not seeing Christopher. No one other than Pac, Ye and Dre are imo

BIG's hits are the real blueprint. Everybody becomes a Kobe after MJ

well i mean this is shifting the conversation to stronger hits, not necessarily who had more hits which Jay will inevitably have as his career spans 20 years lmao

Jay not a hits rapper though. He had a stretch with Hard Knock Life, 99 Problems, Dirt Off Your Shoulder, Big Pimpin, Izzo, Numb, PSA, Me & My GF, Heart Of The City etc...where he was poppin. But his hits were not 50, Nelly or Em level hits at the time.

Half his hits are cause of features. His first and only #1 was Empire State Of Mind, and that was cause of Alicia lol His last hit was NIP/Otis with Ye. He hasn't had a hit record in like 15 years and his "hits" were confined to an 8-10 year period. I wouldn't be surprised if he has less overall hits than BIG tbh and even then, as you say--weak hits in comparison imo

Plus jackin' BIG's entire persona and style counts as negative points

Saying an actual dope boy stole his persona from a nigga who sold a lil crack here and there is hilarious man

Jay liked Biggie bc Biggie was rapping the s*** Jay actually did

Fuuuuuuck no

If biggie was better why he aint do s*** when pac emasculated him?

Pac easily. No disrespect to biggie.

Come on bruh, theres a reason 2pac albums are rarely ever in the top 5/10 best hip hop albums yet Biggies consistently are

Yall didnt grow up talking to niggas about rap yall only talk about rap on forums bc bro what

What? How did you just make up this backstory to my life?

Where did you discuss rap as a child? Who in your family did you talk rap with?

Saying you never heard anybody have a Pac album in their top 5 or 10 does not make it seem like you ever had rap debates irl in the 2000s

Bc Ive constantly heard people have All Eyez On me in their top 5/10 but its not people who usually post on forums or argue music online

Im just gonna ignore all the other stuff but 2pac being in a top5/10 album list is no where near as common as Biggie being in it. This is whether you talk to hip hop fans, critics, podcasts, forums, whereever

Lol ofc you’re gomna ignore all the other stuff, you don’t have answers that disprove my point

F*** critics podcast and forums

Irl pac has millions of fans who have his albums in their top 5/10 a long with plenty of legendary rappers. How would Pac become considered a GOAT contender with nobody having his albums in their favorites?

Yall nuts

Tupac is cool but Biggie was kicking his ass before Hit Em Up

Tupac couldn't make California Love either lol

Dre gave him the whole track

No the other stuff are absolutely not correct, its just not worth engaging with.

Pac is considered a GOAT because of the quality of individual songs and his message and strong albums. Not because he made classic albums. He has classic songs all throughout his discography

did I ever claim Pac made it from scratch?

7 Day Theory > Ready to Die

Saying something isnt worth engaging with then saying pac dont have classics

Irony in its purest form

Man, they really bring two very different styles to the table ironically even though they’re pitted against each other all the time. But ultimately I have Pac if we’re going number of hits but it’s not a fair fight because Big’s catalogue is much smaller.

Mfs saying Pac don't have classic albums itt
