I voted for 2Pac but honestly if X got shot and killed after his 3rd or 4th album he'd be on the same level as 2Pac.

Multiple classics..wider range..more diverse

DMX a better rapper and is near/level Pac on the deep, introspective shit so he gets my vote.

 

[Cabana_Da_Don]

Pac obviously.He was just more focus and reached a bigger demographic but DMX was Pac´s second coming if it was not for him Rap would have taken one to the chin.

In what way? If he's not doin' introspective, I don't really care. DMX can do way more

You do realize in 96 Pac was one of the few multi platinum artist who was in their prime and had an actual discography. Most of the rappers from 88 on to the early 90s had in the eye of many had fell off. Rap was very young and the career span of a mc was 2 to 3 albums or the first wack album. What ever came first. Kane had "fell off" , Slick Rick was locked up, Rakim had just had a weak album and people felt he was falling off, G Rap was on hiatus. LL was hot and cold from album to album. And KRS was dope but didn't have the sales other rappers had. Ice Cube was doing his thing, but like many mcs I just name only rapped about a certain topic. Pac would do many songs with different subject matter. So when he was killed, not only was he multi platinum which many other rappers were not. He had touched alot of people and was still in his prime and had a catalog. All the mcs that were getting attention or was in the spot light were only on the first or second album. Nas only had 2 in 96, Common had 2, Jay-Z had 1 Biggie had 1, Snoop had 2. Meth only had 1 Red had 3. Quick had 3 and Ehit had 2 solo. So with 5 solo albums multiple songs with different subject matter, multiple hits and a hugh public persona, and millions of records sold, being the first major rapper to be murder would be enough to be given Goat. But in 2017 you have mcs that could do just about every thing Pac did and more with double sizes catalogs. If we are being truthful quite a few rapper surpassed Pac. It's only natural. Nas went on to have great subject matter, classic albums, sales, same with Common. Niggas have to understand its been 20 years. Hip hop has come a long way. Artists didn't stop growing after 96.

Judging them respectively by their various subject matters, radio hits/club tracks, deeper catalogue cuts your casual fan never heard, lasting legacy/influence and terms of being an icon i gotta give it to pac.

But cant get mad at someone picking X. Its dark and hell is hot, flesh of my flesh, and then there was x i practically grew up on but pac had way more influence on the whole genre even today.

Imo this actually a good poll
