Ice Cube>>>>2pac

[makaveli11]

^I disagree. I'm talking about who's the better artist. If you're going to talk about subject matter, Ice Cube has that on lock. Ice Cube has rapped about everything under the sun including gangsta shit, party tracks, race relations, political stuff, he's tackled the subject of religion in his songs, education, story telling, the east coast west coast beef, diss tracks, drug dealing from a story telling and critical standpoint, the LA Riots, Korean Storeowners, sellout rappers, Uncle Toms, brothas at concerts not acting right, the perils of gangbanging, need I continue?

I'm not taking away from artists like Kam or Common, they're great artists, but neither of them have had the impact on the game or have taken the risks that Ice Cube has taken from a lyrical standpoint. Neither has taken the heat that Ice Cube has, or has tackled controversial subject matter with the same ferocity that Ice Cube did in his prime. I do give Kam props for stepping up and taking on some controversial subject matters recently and we need more of that in hip hop.

^true... I agree here with everything you said about ice cube. In terms of the diversity of his subject matter he was up there with 2pac. I believed what gave 2pac the slight edge was his emotions and poetry. These two hip hop legends are really equal and I hate it when we have to compare them against each other because it becomes a 2pac vs. cube thing. Next thing you know people are slandering two rappers who are in the top five rappers of all time .

^Cube wrote Eazy Duz It and most of Straight Outta Compton. They were reciting CUBE'S rhymes.
The first four Ice Cube albums are considered some of the best albums in Hip Hop.
All Eyez On Me was a bunch of filler. Not that hot. Me Against The World, 2Pacalypse Now, Strictly..., they're OK. 4-5 mic? Please!

Sometimes Pac gets too much credit. Makaveli was a 4. The rest are about 3-3.5. Bet, had Pac NOT died, none of those albums would get props.
On an other not, War and Peace were not that bad. People just jump on the bandwagon and call em wack. Those HORRIBLE albums that have Pacs name on it are far from better than those 2 LPs.

MAOW and AEOM just O.K.!!!    7 day theory 4 mics!!!

It's funny reading these replies that 2pac is better and they all seem to forget about Cube being in Straight Outta Compton being an all time classic

Without Cube 2pac would have nothing to rap about





Also 2pac's double disc album is one of the most overrated albums of all time, the album had great songs but was FULL of fillers

lets just call it a tie already

this post is such bullshit.

Pac rapped about EVERYTHING Cube did, and more......Pac was writing deep poetry and lyrics long before Straight Outta Compton was even thought of, much less actually released. Learn your history kid.

Straight Outta Compton is a classic yes.....but Pac has a few classic albums of his own that rival that album.

and tell me, what are all these so-called fillers on AEOM, besides Whatz Ya Phone # and Aint Hard 2 Find? Both discs is loaded with bangers from nearly start to finish, and like it or not, it is one of the most influential albums of all time. Every mainstream rapper today uses its formulas on a regular basis.

I think u just mad cause Pac is universally accepted by more people than Cube is.
