I prefer cube. Tupac is way overated. I only choose him in the vs biggie threads because he was okay but both him and biggie were way overated and then even more overated by their deaths.
[QUOTE="Toriko42"]Ice Cube is better all around, better writer, flow, better career fat_rob
no way...Pac is so far ahead of Cube it ain't even funny Straight Outta Compton, The Predator, Death Certificate, Amerikkka's Most Wanted > Anything Tupac did.
I think the other thing people are forgetting without the trailblazing cube did both as writer and rapper for N.W.A. and thensolo there might not have been a tupac. Ice cube pretty much was a defining force in the creation of gangsta rap.

If it wasn't for Straight Outta Compton and Amerikkka's Most Wanted, everyone's favorite Gangsta Rap album wouldn't exist.

I prefer Tupac in terms of solo stuff but I can't deny the awesomeness of N.W.A

Not to bug especially if I misunderstand what you mean, but what does being overated have to do with actual skill? So what if hes over praised because of his death, he was relatively skilled regardless. You shouldnt rate people or things on how much others talk about it and more about your own personal opinion crafted on your own thoughts on someone, not anothers thoughts.

tupac is the greatest rapper of all time, period. i like cube too but he does not compare to tupac, pac has like 400 songs and he died at 25, cube is like 40 now and his catalogue does not come close
A lot of songs, but all GREAT. You real hip-hop heads who love Pac's music tell me other songs i missed :D
That song "Untill the end of time" made me think, Its a shame that the "Thugs" and gangsters of today have lost all of their morals and are now nothing more than punks thiefs and killers who dont care about who they bring harm to as long as it works for them in the moment.
