    I think this thread caught a time machine in the 90's. Here let's get a more contemporary argument goin. Eminem or Lil' Wayne?

    I hate when people link albums sells to who is "better"

    There are a ton of rappers that are better than any of the Soulja Boy and Lil Wayne trash people buy all the time, but just because these people sell more then other artists people always say they're better.

    That may be someone else's way of judging who was better, but not mine. I listen to words, and listen for songs with meaning and dont buy into Elementary rhymes and club songs.

    The Clipse, Common, J.Cole, Mos Def, Curren$y, Wiz Khalifa, Kid Cudi, Lupe Fiasco, Wale, etc. are some of the best artists out right now, and I bet most people don't even know who half these guys are.

    As far as Big vs. Pac, IMO its hands down Biggie

    Biggie had a real nice flow but it was accentuated by his speech impediment. 2Pac was the goods but unfortunately got caught up in the angry thug rap. Either way, it's a shame we lost em both. Fortunately I still got E40!

    As stated its all a matter of opinion but to say record sales doesnt give you the worldwide view of who is viewd better is just nonsense. biggie had 2 good albums. 2pac had about 10. no hating intended just my point of view. As far as myself I like em both but nobody including biggie did I vibe to more than pac. His lyrics are geniune and from the heart not to mention great lyricism.

    I honestly would say 2pac or Em. Biggie is not on that level. Only my opinion I respect yours as well.
