Let's be realistic here, everytime west vs. east gets brought up we all ***** about BIG and Pac, when in reality there is much more to rap from both coasts. We should continue the discussion with BIG and Pac aside as it has been established that they are the best rappers from their perspective coast's.

I dont think Big is the best emcee from NY anyhow. That title goes to the GZA. Rakim and KRS are 2 and 3, but the GZA is on another level.

Neither do I...I personally like Rakim, Big L, and Nas more, but the majority of people consider BIG and Pac to be the best from the east and west and the two greatest rappers of all time.

"I embrace y'all with napalm
Blows up, no guts, left chest, face gone
How could Nas be garbage?
Semi-autos at your cartilage
Burner at the side of your dome, come outta my throne"

"Rockefeller died of AIDS, that was the end of his chapter
And that's the guy y'all chose to name your company after?
Put it together, I rock hoes, y'all rock fellas
And now y'all try to take my spot, fellas?
Feel these hot rock fellas, put you in a dry spot, fellas
In a pine box with nine shots from my glock, fellas"


^^^ That's garbage?

Heavenly art, military is necessary, it's a gamble
MC's bet they best at every

Flashbacks to the Duel of the Iron Mic
Look out for these fatal flying spikes, of massive
sleep-holds, put strangle on commercial angle
Microphone cords tangled from being Star Spangled"

how is that a diss? Jay Z, Dame Dash, the people at Rockafella, etc.

the 2nd part:
rockefeller didn't die of aids- strike 1
the "y'all rock fellas" line was clever, but how's that a diss to jayz? that wasnt even as clever as "Feel these hot rocks fellas, put u in a dry spot fellas, in a pine box fellas, with nine shots from my glock fellas" especially after jayz fked nas baby moms? LOL

so again, what's good about those lines?? ether is dumb overrated lol u aint doin nothin to prove otherwise.

Show me (and the others who are in agreement with me) a verse that Pac did that blows Nas, or anyone else out of the water. He sure as hell aint up there with the GZA.
