    Chad Warden As Ballin As Possible

    Who do you prefer? Who's better? Who has the better discography?

    I'm torn. Will answer if this thread blows up, need to hear opinions.

    Prefer Jigga tbh, but i think they're evenly matched and pacs career would have paralleled Jay's minus the whole corporate mogul thing

    Dunno, Pac probably had a good business mind too.

    Jay-Z for very similar reasons as to why I think Biggie is better as well. Just to be clear 2pac isn't in my top 5, he'd be in my top 10 though. Both Biggie and Jay are in my top 5.

    Me Against The World, All Eyez On Me, The 7 Day Theory

    It's about the same as Pac vs Big for me, but I haven't heard all that much of Jay's material. From what I have heard, he's a better rapper, in the same way Big is a better rapper than Pac.

    Me Against The World I think is arguably better than the Black Album but I don't see it being better than Reasonable Doubt or Blueprint. I also think All Eyez On Me comfortable sits as the worst out of the bunch due to all the filler on that album.

    At the same time, I haven't listened to some of these albums in ages so I'm not completely sure either lol

    Reasonable Doubt is the best album in the discussion, IMO.

    I prefer Jay Z nowadays but Jay has never made a song near the caliber of No More Pain.

    It's so hard. I can't think how 2pac's music would evolve in 00s. Because definitely music changed a lot after 2000-2001. So I decide to leave albums of Jay after The Blueprint outside of the comparision. 2pac is f---in' awesome lyrically. As for the musical point of view, I don't think one of them is better two different unique voices... But 2pac maybe the goat so..

    All i know is that 2pac is a better artist.
    I'll go with Pac because i can feel his music much more than Jay's music.
