The Official 2pac Versus Biggie Thread...

[_Menace_]

Yeah, those two albums good. One of my favorite song is Words of Wisdom....shit is crazy.....mind you...he was 21 years at that time.....scary huh. Pac was so smart.

imagine him @ 39 years old? i wonder how shit would be.

but my 2 favorite songs off those 2 albums where.

Brenda's gotta baby

keep ya head up

 

[a_list]

bottom line all this other shyt is irrelevant....lad far superior lyrically and better production better album

 

[_Menace_]

"How Do U Want It" and "California Love" were his singles. so he had 2....... biggie albums >>>>> pac albums

*looks at avi, then continues to drop FACTS*

 

[rapmastermind]

pac only released the how do u want it single off aeom and it sold more than biggie 1st album

u could not buy i aint mad at cha as a single at a store dumbass

if pac released every song he did a video for off aeom as singles all of them would of been 1 on the billboard

LOL, What are you talking about? "How Do You Want It" was package with "California Love, Hit Em Up and America's most wanted". That was a Classic single with 4 Classic songs on it and it sold 2x Platinum. But "Ready To Die":

Ready To Die - 4x Platinum
Juicy - GOLD
Big Poppa - Platinum
One More Chance - Platinum

Including Singles we are talking about 7 Million. Why are you just making stuff up without any facts?

 

[darkrain]

FUCK THE SALES MAN.

Both rappers were so great and I wish they didn't die and both of them are totally different artist.

2Pac + Biggie Small>>>>>Biggie Small + Jay-Z

I would rather buy 2Pac and Biggie Small rap group over Bigge and Jay-Z.

 

[rapmastermind]

AEOM went 5x plat in 2 months. FACT.

Yes but that was Pac's 4th LP, he was in jail and it after he was shot and all the beef happen. Before the beef he was basically a Gold Artist. Biggie was Platinum material out the gate.

 

[jonathand]

One album went diamond, one didnt. One album had top notch lyricism, while one didnt. One album had ridiculous storytelling, one didnt. One album had thr main mc having the best verse, while one had a feature steal that title. LAD>>>>>>>>>>> overrated ass AOEM....

 

[P. Town]

All Eyez On Me is overrated to me

 

[juelz21]

Again, Biggie only released 1 LP while alive, why are you comparing his Debut album which outsold Pac's 1st 2 LP's to Pac being on his 4th and 5th LP? The fact is Biggie was Hot out the gate, Pac too more time to go Platinum. Biggie got a Platinum award before Pac did = FACT.

ne he did'nt strictly 4 my niggaz and 2Pacalypse Now combined sold 2.3 million records according to soundscan.

 

[_Menace_]

Anyways. Fuck the bull shit both where dope albums from the Best rappers to touch the MIC

 

[a_list]

*looks at avi, then continues to drop FACTS*

On 4/19, Pac's debut was certified GOLD and his sophmore was Certified Platinum. So it took his debut 3 years to go Gold and his sophomore 2 years to go Platinum. Where as Biggie on his debut:

So "Ready To Die" was certified Gold only 2 months after it's release and Platinum about 6 Months Later. Bringing up how "MATW" and "AEOM" did are after the fact. Biggie came out the gate scorching, Pac, not so much.

your source is not factual u to supoosed to go by soundscan.

 

[_Menace_]

Lol, basically those hits song (Even I love those songs)....dont you have favorite other songs without hits?

I dont give a fuck and Papa's Song

 

[_Menace_]

Yes but that was Pac's 4th LP, he was in jail and it after he was shot and all the beef happen. Before the beef he was basically a Gold Artist. Biggie was Platinum material out the gate.

If anything biggie beefing with Pac boosted his sales up.

Pac was already famous before BIG
