sadly i have to agree with duckman...not about the dmx part...but 2pac did only become a legend after he died...seriously if pac was alive today he would be as famous as dre probably...but there wouldnt be all these ppl going "hes the greatest of all time blah blah blah"...ppl dont seem to realize that pac got most of his popularity after he died and it was because he died...as far as comparing dmx and pac...they are 2 different styles...in skill i would say they are equal...but dmx went for awhile without doing anything to show that skill. back when Its Dark & Hell Is Hot came out i thought for sure DMX would end up a legend like 2pac but he kinda went downhill...

Preach on. FACT - As soon as Pac released AEOM he was a huge star, but he was not referred to as the GOAT.

^^^^Me neither actually...they do have some similarities (they're both VERY good at making deep songs, songs you can really FEEL). But besides that, they both have their own style.

it's no argument to say Pac became a legend after death. because DMX is WAY FAR from being a legend.
2nd DMX is not a much better rapper at all. I prefer Pac in every case.
fuck gangsta.
however, if DMX and PAC are compared, it aint a honor for pac, but for x.


lmao is this the guy who calls Ja Rule The Mic God? EXPLAINS ALOT!!!!

2pac did only become a legend after he died

yeah thats true. i think Biggie Big L & Big Pun are all in that same boat to a degree

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

^^^^^^^
true
people made pac a lyricists, but he wasnt
now dont get me wrong here, his lyrics were good
but it was subject matter and emotion are the things that made em a good artists
not complex wordplay, metaphores..ect...
Big L and big pun were better IMO, biggie and pac were on the same level

lol @ fuck gangsta, Pac didn't claim less gangsta than X


listen to his conversations with god like "Convo" or "Ready To Meet Him"

or with his alter ego Damien

others like Some X Shit or Tales From The Dark Side

nobody got more control over his voice than him

he got alotta deep tracks, he got raw shit like "Coming For Ya" and classics like "Ruff Ryders Anthem"

dope story tellin tracks like Here We Go Again or One More Road To Cross

there's no doubt about the flow imo.. of course everybody can prefer what they like but the only reason people see a comparison as an honor for X is that Pac's death made him a legend..


as for the topic.. it's mostly Pac dickryders who bitch about X "bitin" pac even though this is just ridiculous.. other than that there's not much comparison of these 2 talented but different rappers
