I agree. You can throw on Biggie at a party and create a vibe. He has multiple bangers. Pac is good, but it's more riding in your car alone stuff. He was a talented guy though. Good actor too.
I do think the almost universally accepted premise that these two are the greatest rappers of all time is FS. If Nas died in '96 after his second album, people would probably put him in there.
This might have been true pre-Macklemore but he's obviously taken over as the world's greatest rapper EVAR!
2Pac was a better poet. A better actor. A better activist. A better thinker. Hands down.
But side by side, Biggie has the better flow. He is smooth where 2Pac is staccato. Biggie leaves space, where at times 2Pac is anxiously trying to cram every thought into every line.
I also think East coast rap generally shits on West coast rap. So maybe I'm biased.

Not familiar with Biggie or TuPac, but this is usually a party pleaser - it creates a decent vibe

36 Chambers is one of the best 5 albums of all time.
