Tupac or Biggie

Plus in a battle, Biggie would tear Pac a new one 10 times out of 10. Improv is one of the true marks of an emcee, imo.

Bruised up from the pistol whipping
Webs on the neck from the necklace stripping
Then I'm dipping up the block and I'm robbing bitches too
Up the herring bones and bamboos
I wouldn't give a **** if you're pregnant
Give me the baby rings and the #1 MOM pendant

The #1 Mom pendant! Shit was cake in 94.

But I will say that Pac definitely had the larger cultural impact... they even had a class on him at Berkeley, I think. Dude was a talented writer.

^This. Biggie was a far, far superior lyricist. It's not even close really.

Since it's on I called my ni**a Arizona Ron from Tuscon, pushed the black Yukon
Usually had the slows grooves on, mostly rocked the Isley's, stupid as a youngin chose not his moves wisely
Sharpened the game, him and jooks called the crooks, murder was sweet, bout 350 piece
Ron bought a truck, two bricks, laid in the cut, his peeps got bucked, got locked the f*ck up
That's when Ron vanished, came back speaking Spanish, lavish habits, two rings, 20 carats
Here's a criminal, ni**a made America's Most, killed his baby mother's brother, slit his throat...

Man, I love Biggie.
