if there was a rapper out now who sounded exactly like biggie right now and i mean exactly but wasnt in biggies cirumstances, like guerilla black is almost exactly like biggie people would say that rapper sucks. biggie was made big by the situations i named and when he got killed they felt the need to create huge legacy so a bunch of people think hes good because of the media and what other people think not the talent.
and basically by saying greatest its like saying better larger means qauntity. so whatever maybe nas did record more but i bet a lot of them suck and thats why they r unreleased pac put out and amazing qauntity of tracks in 5 years and theres only maybe 3 or 4 sogns i can think of that are originial recordings by him that arent good. and when i say not good i mean not good by pac standards by rap standards there all good. pac had become god of hip hop in 5 years, nas still isnt even close to being o that level in 10 years. there careers happened so differently so therefore you cant compare unlike things, and it isnt fair to compare pac to nas saying nas is better because he recorded more songs in over 10 years than 2pac could in 5.
pac was also the deepest and most emotional rapper of all time. he didnt try and make club hits over and over again to make money, he didnt just move his lips his mind heart and soul did it for him,everything he said was real and true he was never fake. his flow was great and his writing skills were amazing. hia lyrics by far have the best content ever. so how he is not in the top 20 lyrically i dont know. i mean how do you judge lyrical talent then. 2pac flow was also rapidly increasing i mean look at first 2 bomb.
