he sure had his bright spots, but overall, nah.

[JAZ]

yes.

[topdogg187]

HELL no! Pac is hands down the greatest songwriter that hip hop has ever seen noone will ever come close to him.

[MontrealCity's Most]

NOooo. I do like Jay-z and Jay-z did get deep ona few songs but nowehere near as much as Pac. Jay-z might of had more clever rhymes but Pac was a poet

[everlast1986]

Not really. He doesn't write his songs himself like 2Pac did and 2Pac in his 5 year career wrote more songwriting gems than Jay-Z has so far in his 12 year solo career.

You can´t ask something like this on a westcoast board

Jigga is definitely a good songwirter, he also has some nice and clever wordplays but Pac was more complete. You know he could write about anything (making party, telling deep storys, telling personal storys, gangsta rap etc.) and still be authentic like no other rapper in the game. Like Real City's M-o-S-T says, Pac was a poet.

In terms of skills as a rapper Jays better. But as a songwriter Pac has touched the hearts of millions and can evoke much more emotion in his songs than Jay Z.

I will extract one point from your karma because you created this poll.

  and like  Beatz and City's M-o--S-T said  2Pac= Poet

another horrible thread by Elano I would expect this from The Source, MTV or another NYC magazine, but on a westcoast forum
