He set the tone for what was to come: commercial viability for hip-hop. Life After Death was the perfect sequel. No longer was he this hustler from the streets of Brooklyn, he was a boss now, the King of Rap.
The "Hypnotize" video was big and grand like his personality, and forced other rappers to produce videos of the same scale.
That's his legacy in a nutshell: a commercially accepted gangter rapper. Junior M. Lil' Kim was a star in her own right, and Lil Cease was a viable sidekick even though Big wrote most of his rhymes. The Outlawz on the other hand were never able to shake Pac's shadow, and consistently ruined the tracks they were featured on, except for "Hit 'Em Up.
Big's albums, features, and remixes are far more superior musically to 2Pac's catalog, so much so that rappers still spit variations of Biggie's verses to this day. Record Video. Real-time Voting. It's tough to pick between these two, but maybe watching this video of their flows will help. The Notorious B. In any case, B. No 2Pac album is better than Ready to Die. Big's first album is right up there with Illmatic and Paid in Full for the "greatest rap album ever created" title.
It had storytelling, top-notch production, it was street and commercial at the same time, and offered otherworldly wordplay. He set the tone for what was to come: commercial viability for hip-hop.

Watch the music video to Tupac's "Dear Mama" below. Watch the music video for "California Love" below.
Watch the full music video to Biggie's "Juicy" below. He was able to deliver punchlines and give the listener a beat that is distinct. Let's not take anything away from him. However, when we are looking at the more complete rapper, I dont see why 2Pac isn't the best to ever do it. Aside from that argument, 2Pac wasn't bad at flow or lyricism, he just falls a tad bit short of biggies skills in that department.
But 2Pac was also able to provide message in his music, and protest for the African-American community. He also laid down track that made you want to party, tracks that made you aware and woke, tracks that made you reminisce on the lost loved ones, tracks that were for passion and love. There was too many types of music he laid down, and he was diverse to the max.
I mean pac was Gosh Tupac was exceptional ,yes the flow belong to Biggie no doubt infact biggie lyrically skillful than pac but main Tupac was beyond rap he was a unique and soul. Tupac was brave enough to speak about the true unlike Diddy's Biggie. Retards, face it. Rap wasn't about being lyrical or having punchlines in everyone of your songs. It's poetry. Nothing else, Rythym and poetry.
Yeah in California love Tupac was still good. Biggie just rhymed words intelligently and had rhythm in most of his songs. Tupac is the real rapper here because rap was about poetry. So no more of this BS that biggie is a rapper and Tupac is a writer.
No Tupac is and has always the best rapper ever. That also goes for Eminem and Rakim and others. Fuck all you on the side of biggie you have no sense in original hip hop. Besides biggie had few songs which actually told stories. And no, Tupac was better at dissing.
Why did u think biggie didn't retaliate? Tupac really hit him hard with that song. In every Tupac song, a snapshot of his very interesting mind is given in the course of making a broader statement, and given that his mind is his message paired with the idea that his is typical, and is thus really the mind of the broader underclass , every piece of art he's composed, and every interview he'd done was part of an enormous, fractalesque work of art.
Every few years, I come back to Tupac's music and appreciate in another way, from another perspective; Tupac's music can be seen in so many ways because it's a depiction of something real, complete with all of those complexities and imperfection shown in real things And Biggie? Mostly just a gangster rapper.
I have always loved 2pac ever since I was a kid. I have always felt his music, Biggie on the other hand he was a great rapper, but I never felt him like I did Pac. I admired him a lot and he was never afraid to speak his mind, so yeah Tupac totally wins in my book :. Tupac was great but Biggie Smalls was a way bigger rapper. Biggie had more influence over the rap genre and the industry as a whole. Hip hop and rap record labels are still taking cues from Biggie.
They both had skills and awesome songs, but I don't think we can say Tupac was better. Biggie had more impressive rhyming ability, Flow, Lyrics, Delivery, And was able to get more deeply into his mindset when going through the struggles he was in.
