Who's the better rapper - Tupac or Biggie? 11:28 - Aug 11 with 6455 viewshype313

Personally, I prefer the style and delivery of Biggie, but Tupac has an incredible vocabulary and was ahead of his time in his prose.

Appreciate this might fall flat given everyone on here is a Morrisey fan, but might find a few lost souls in the undergrowth.

I don't mind Dipsys earlier work, then it all goes a bit pair shaped for me. Upsy Daisy takes it to another level then with her night garden work

I find it hard to judge and split both, given they died around 25 years ago. Guessing their style would have changed and modernised over the years.

I prefer rappers like Akala or Kno (also part of CunninLynguists). The album "Will Rap for food" came out not long after they died and I prefer that.

Undeniably the two of them had a massive influence over the genre though.

Akala is a genius, and so underrated with a very broad range, very educated on the history of the afro-carribeans too,

If you ever get a chance to read his books, I highly recommend picking them up!

I've always preferred Biggie for the reasons you gave. They give me very different listening experiences so really it comes down to what mood I'm in. Tupac did have some excellent social commentary though and it's one of those where I'm glad to have heard them both at a young age.

My personal favourites are Wu-Tang Clan, although similarly to Nas, they made the mistake of releasing an absolute masterpiece as their debut. Hard to follow 36 Chambers or Illmatic.


Totally agree with all of this - for me it’s Biggie for style, Tupac for substance. Both had style and substance, but Biggie’s flow was unreal and Tupac’s social commentary was deep. Wu-tang were my favourites from the 90s hip hop scene, but you’re right that 36 chambers was impossible to follow because it was an absolute masterpiece. ODB’s return to the 36 chambers was also a classic for me.

Out of those two Biggie by a country mile but neither are fit to tie the shoelaces of Big Daddy Kane.

Spot on. Sensational album from ODB which recently inspired the artwork for Tyler, The Creator's Call Me if You Get Lost which I've enjoyed a lot. Another one of my favourites from one of the Wu-Tang members is Liquid Swords by GZA, which I think I'm going to have to listen to again now.

Here's a little mix I did last month (free for anybody that wants to download) which includes a few Tupac tracks as well as some other bits too.

Ahhh I love them both and they are so different. What I think is often overlooked is Tupac’s depth in terms of his rhythm and flow. It takes a bit of a deep listen but it’s amazing how he rides with and against a beat.

Biggie is incredible and this isn’t a criticism in any way but it’s more accessible, he’s a showman. Similarly biggies depth in terms of content is overlooked sometimes. He gets stuck in on his own psyche with amazing lightness of touch, see suicidal thoughts for example

Tried not to sound w@nky there but failed, ah well

Out of the two I'd go for Tupac. Big Daddy Kane was the nuts till he decided to be a crap Barry White.

Obviously the best of all time was Kool Keith from the Ultramagnetic MCS.
