Dominate24 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I never liked Tupacs music very much except for a few songs. I have heard just about everything that's out there from Eminem. His first three albums are all classics imo. The MMLP and Eminem Show are in my top 5 albums of all time.

Manifesto Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 As a person who has been listening to rap all his life and follows the Hip Hop culture I have to say that their are not the best* rappers they are just the most known and to be honest Eminem isn't that good at all, similar rhyming schemes very boring in my opinion same goes for Tupac but he will always be a 'classic' in the Hip Hop world...you people should listen to rappers like Illmaculate, The Saurus , Nas , Rakim , Mad Child and KRS-One these are some real geniuses.*I mean that they just got famous lets take for example Drake who is a very very bad rapper but is considered good by people who don't listen to rap much and he just got very famous ,Tupac in his day was similar he wasn't very good but he got famous and that led to more fans more publicity etc..etc..Tupac and Eminem are the people who made rap what it is today and made more popular but they aren't the best and thats widely accepted in the Rap culture.

Young Money is terrible but they're selling more than anyone out there. Tha Carter IV selling 950k is just ridiculous. The album was terrible.What do you think of Atmosphere, Hopsin, and Lupe Fiasco? I think they're all pretty good do you listen to any of those three? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idl12 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 It should be common knowledge that the best rappers are the ones you never hear about, just look at immortal technique and Hopsin, I simply place em at the top from a main stream point of view.

As for this question, 2Pac hands down for me. I prefer his flow over Em and as for the subject matter in their songs, Pac just has personal lyrics that I enjoy listening to more than Em's wordplay (which quite honestly sucks sometimes). But I agree with Manifesto, he just appeals to mainstream fans who don't know enough about rappers who are much more talented than him. Don't get me wrong, Em is one of the best as far as mainstream rap goes, but Pac will always be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vespalyn Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Didn't read thread, just droppin Immortal Technique.Of the two, it's more enjoyable for me to listen to Em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nara Shikamaru Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Can't compare the two. But I chose Tupac, cuz I support the underdog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelkid24 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 this is too hard of a decision. They are my two favorite artists, and you really can't compare them because they have different styles. Sadly though, I'm going to have to say Eminem because he flows so well. I love Tupac though because a lot of his songs have such strong messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyguysteve Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Tupac was man ahead of his time, Eminem isn't bad, I consider him in the same league as Tupac but tupac still echoes even when he's dead.I don't like a lot of eminem songs. some are great but tupac still has more I like.

closerangecr Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Both Eminem's flow & rhyming scheme exceed Tupac's by far although Tupac's lyrical content was real. He spoke a lot more truth than Shady... which makes them equals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arashi Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I like Tupac more, but I'd have to say Eminem is the better rapper. His style and technique overall are better and his lyrics are more complex. I think Tupac's lyrics were deeper than anything Eminem's ever written, but Eminem is the better lyricist.

Alegend1994 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 I've listened to few of Tupac's songs but they weren't nearly as good as Eminem's, plus has more songs that I like than Tupac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
