i think a lot of biggie's songs are great, and Some of pacs songs are great.
They we're both good artists (duh).
I can't say I didn't try.
I purposefully seek out Big songs to listen to. Not the case with Pac..although I have heard songs of his where I'm like, damn, that's awesome.
Pac is almost too polished/predictable in some songs. He raps with better passion/emotion, as people say, but he does not consistently employ the same subtle rapping techniques which made Big famous. Hard to explain. Maybe certain can.
As far as rapping is concerned, I think "bad verses" or "trite lines" (for both) are actually a good litmus test.. I hear a trite verse or a "reached line" from Pac, and I want to go to the next song.. I hear a trite verse or a reached line from Big, and I'm like, shit, he raps well; that sounded awesome.
for some reason i consider the simple: "
jiu jitsu when i hitchu then i splitchu" a revolutionary line.

Certain, not allll of Big's songs were good... I mean there's some tracks where he goes on and on about him and his crew shitting on women's chests and busting nuts.
All this said, I don't think Hit'em Up will ever get stale. Lol great diss s0ng
