ya know....i feel that this is one of the most anoying subjects to talk about. Especially since the voting on this topic is never about true skillz. Its about what coast your from, and popularity. Tupac was not a better emcee then biggie nor was biggie better then tupac. Its a pointless conve to even have. they both had mad skillz and they were so diferent lyricly. All i can say is they boy were nice, and it was the greatest loss hip hop wll ever face. maybe one day when cats like nas and talib are gone ppl will truley appreciate them as well, but to quote the notrious BIG "your nobody till somebody...killlzzz you"
