    Cube's best work > 2Pac's best work.

    Cube fell all the way off though - something that we can't say about Pac.

    Cube is under-appreciated. I mean, the people who have taken the time to listen to him....know that he was REALLY good. But he just doesn't seem to get the credit that he truly deserves.

    I'll go with Pac. My reasoning being, he was more versatile than Cube. He could do the G s--- just as good as Cube did, he had the bangers, he had the conscious tracks, he had the storytelling tracks, etc.

    I also don't really think Cube's best work can f--- with Pac's best. It can't at all, imo.

    True, but I think a lot of that has to do with the direction of his movie career as well. Hard to take him serious after 'Are We There Yet?'. Ice T used to get a lot of praise as well, as an old school artist (80s-early 90s), and now is viewed as a joke by many since going from Cop Killer, to a playing a cop. Career choices made them more money, so they weren't bad career decisions, but at the same time those choices ruined a lot of people's perceptions of who they are.

    I voted cube but considering my screen name, is that really a surprise??

    However I ended up basing my vote on total body of work rather than just their first 3 albums. I honestly think they tie for quality of their first 3 albums but Cube was more consistent after. Laugh Now, Cry Later and Raw Footage were great come back albums. Such a shame that they were followed up by the awful I Am the West. I've got my fingers crossed for Everythangs Corrupt.

    Huge fan of both but Pac's my all time favorite so obviously going with him. Cube is amazing though too.

    Expect most people will vote for Pac even though Cube is the better rapper.Pac really wasnt that good of a lyracist he just had a big impact on hiphop

    Cube also ghost wrote most of the early NWA and Eazy E albums.

    Im not a big fan of cube i heard amerikkkas most wanted and the predator although i thought the content was good i barely listen to either of them i cant get into it.

    Me against the World/All Eyez on Me/7 Day Theory,are all fantastic albums and are very enjoyable to re-listen to (i dont listen to me against the world that often)

    I think pac had way more of an influence in hip-hop and will be remembered alot longer then cube.
