As for all this who was/is better nonsense, I couldn't care - I listened and still listen to it all, wherever the artist is from.
Being an entertainer was Tupac's main thing which he nailed, whereas someone like Big L wasn't as much - although lyrically he was much better you had to be more inclined with HH to appreciate him.
I'd rather stand at a packed concert watching 2pac but sit in my home studying lyrics with Big L

It's such a waste that so many youngsters listen to acts like Tupac because of his second hand gangsta lyrics and wannabe gangsta life and death that they don't listen to the decent rap music out there. It's no wonder the genre gets such a bad reputation.
