all eyez on me is def overrated. IMO Me against the world and Makaveli the don were better albums.
I think biggies is boring and unoriginal. I always found biggies rhymes and lyrics lazy and extremely simple,
and yeah tupac isnt the best emcee but like everyones said between his voice, charisma, and what he says, it doesnt matter. No one else on earth can pull off being an only average emcee and having just about everybody love his music.

Have you ever paid attention to what 2Pac brought to the table as what's seen as his most successful cd of all time, All Eyez On Me? That CD had some good beats and it was like real smooth, but the raps were rather simple and I dare calling them weak. How some of you label it "common sense" that 2Pac should be above Biggie at any time, is beyond me.To me, with Ready To Die Biggie proved that he's one of the smoothest rappers of all time. No one could rhyme like that. It wasn't extremely complicated, in fact his style was rather simple, but it was so effective. That album has to be (one of) the greatest gangsterrap album(s) of all time. At least, to me it really is without a doubt. Life After Death does have some great songs on it, but it has way too many average tracks and even some filler material, to be even considered a classic. But with that in the back of my mind, 2Pac just couldn't see Biggie when it comes to rapping ability. Pac just had the charisma, he made himself loved by saying some semi-thoughtful things later on on his records. To me, even someone like Killah Priest belongs way above 2Pac on "the list". 2Pac just wasn't a very good rapper.Biggie: maybe top 5, but certainly top 102Pac: somewhere top 30.Don't hate, it's just my opinion that I'm sharing. Peace.Homie, if your sole excuse for ranking Pac so low is "All Eyez On Me", you best check yourself right now. "All Eyez On Me" is overrated and FAR from Pac's best work, but even on that album, he was still extremely dope. However, "Me Against The World" is the album that should be used to judge Pac...THAT album is his claim to fame as one of hip-hop's greatest. If you ain't heard that yet, then you best not speak another word (somebody has it in the hookup spot, BTW). And you claim that he only said "some semi-thoughtful things later on on his records"? You must not listen to Pac at all if that's what you think.Also, there's many ways of defining a great rapper. Biggie was a better MC than Pac, I've said that, but Pac was a better lyricist, and quite possibly a better rapper overall.

It's got some hot diss tracks, but not a lot else, and most of the production is weak. I bought that album the week it came out back in '96 and I was disappointed with it. And then I bought the Remastered edition about two years ago after I lost my original copy, and I'm still not feeling it...I actually prefer "All Eyez On Me" over "The 7-Day Theory".
^Damn you thought most of the production on Makaveli was weak...what about songs like Blasphemy, Me and My Girlfriend, Hold Ya Head, Krazy, Hail Mary, and To Live And Die In LA?
