I'm not asking this question based on talent, cuz most people know that Pac was more introspective and talented that 50 could ever hope to be. However, Death Row Pac seems to have been on the same warpath 50 is on, and may also have had the same kind of hype. Remember, a lot of people bought All eyez on me because Pac had just been shot and got out of prison and everything and it was all related to the hype more than the actual music content: GROTD. Also, though Pac is my favorite rapper, I suspect a lot of the beefs he had were more for attention than legitimate, like in one interview I remember BIG saying that he actually met up with Pac during the west vs. east coast battles and Pac said the beef was just for record sales. It seems everytime 50 is about to release an album, he suddenly has a bone to pick with a big-name rapper. Remember, this is not to compare early Pac with 50, just Death Row Pac.

If you meant 50 five years ago, then sure. But he's not really on that war path anymore. But yes, 50 definitely bit that approach from Pac. And it worked really well for a while. The main difference is that 50 is his own boss, while Pac on Death Row was really just a tool.

maybe a lil bit, but i hate 50 so much and was such a big pac fan that its kinda hard for me to see it this way... i guess i didnt mind pacs beefs as much cause he was so talented while 50 is garbage and goes at random rappers for no real reason

Obviously 50 is not as socially or politically conscious as Pac was. But when it came to tenacity and just being relentless, there's no track out there that can hold a candle to Hit e'm up. And Pac was just like 50, he started a lot of the beefs he was in.

but unlike pac, 5-0 has no talent nor substance.

Talent out the window, they both can be compared....

When Pac had beef, his shit talking was recognized more than his rhymes....same with 50. His shit talking >>> his battling skills.

The only thing that separates them is 50 was alive to bask in victory.

This right here is what I'm saying, talent-wise 50 cant touch Pac, I just want y'all to understand what I'm saying. And they both went after MCs that could destroy them if it came to flow. Pac is my favorite rapper, but if Biggie had retaliated......

And 50 cant touch most of the people he is going after. He is no match for Jada, Nas, Jigga, and yes I'll say it Wayne.

Go to the averian thread in the Hall of Fame Pacs beefs were not like 50's attention whore beefs he al;ready had more attention then he desired from the media. Hell 50 caused his situation with Murder Inc to be what it was Pac did not do the same only accurate comparison between the 2 is they both got shot the rest is non existant...

dudes say 50 have no skills must not listen to the music while he is no lyrical beast he def aint trash

To me, 5-0's one of the worst rappers in hip-hop history and he is trash and I Listen to his music and with the exception of many men, he just plain sucks.

50 is iight lyrically but he is a good entertainer like pac makes for good interviews etc

Except pac did it in a better matter, 5-0 is a joke, pac was on his way of becoming the best rapper this genre has ever seen, while 5-0 will go down as one of the worst.
