The Official 2pac Versus Biggie Thread...

[rapmastermind]

If anything biggie beefing with Pac boosted his sales up.

Pac was already famous before BIG

How do you figure, RTD was selling Big before the Beef. "Juicy, Big Poppa and One More Chance" were all bigger than Any Pac singles at that point in their careers. Now yes LAD sales did benefit from the beef but "RTD" not so much, it was selling from the hit singles. Pac marketed and sold "AEOM" off the Biggie beef so it cuts both ways, I mean he did a video for "Hit Em Up", I don't remember Bad Boy doing any "Beef" videos. Pac was using the beef to sell records.

[thecomebacklegend]

first it wasn't released as a single then you're saying it was a bigger hit, this is not adding up.

billboard only put singles u can buy on the charts and u could not buy i ain't mad at cha a single u retard

i aint mad at cha was a bigger hit.they played it more on tv and radio

 

[juelz21]

“2Pacalypse Now” – GOLD (710,000+ Sold)

“Strictly 4 My niccaz” – 1x PLATINUM (1.3 Million+ sold)

“Thug Life Vol 1” - gold 500,000

“Me Against The World” –2.5x PLATINUM (2.5 Million+ sold)

“All Eyez On Me” – 6x PLATINUM (6.5 Million+ sold) these are the offical soundscan sales so this should put to bed that pac sold more records then biggie while alive.

 

[rapmastermind]

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

RIAA certifies copies shipped, at the end of the day all music achievements are based on RIAA certification. Biggie Went Platinum before Pac did. I know that's hard for some Pac fans to handle and it shouldn't be that big of the deal since Pac has sold a gazillion albums. But the fact is Biggie was a Platinum artist out the gate, Tupac took some time to find his niche before he blew album sales wise.

 

[talik23]

that single sold more than 2 million u retard and how do u want it was the only song on that single on aeom

this nigga had 5 singles on that album. cali love, 2 of americas most wanted, how do u want it, all about u, i aint mad at chu.......... and the only singles that went platinum was how do u want it and cali love. so let be serious biggie albums >>>>>> pac albums

Both have filler. But I say AEOM slightly.

 

[MC The Rapper]

what the fuck does greatest hits album have to do with this discussion. We talking about what album is better not how much it sold or none of that other shit. stick to the topic. give reasons why the songs,production,lyrics,flow,content,features were better. Not bringing greatest hits,sales, who like who, and all the other shit.

 

[bull6599]

I'll roll w/ LAD by a slim margin, but they are both #1 & #2 in terms of rap double disc ( 1 & 1A to be more PC)
