He’s spitting another ninjas rhymes. He didn’t write that.
I found it
Nah, he ain't going to Cancun. To quote Charles Barkley, he gotta go to Galveston
it wasnt the biggest battle of all time though...
What was?
Social media increases engagement. It seems way bigger than Pac/Biggie or Nas/Jay-Z to me-- To say nothing about song quality or the merits but it just seems like the biggest now is going to be by default way bigger than anything pre-2008.
This shit was unavoidable. I was pretty late to it but it seemed like something you just had to pay attention to.
They played Not Like Us at the DNC for cryin' out loud... That's because of it's unparalleled cultural resonance.
Nothing was bigger than Big and Pac; nothing!!!
"Who Shot Ya" didn't even mention Tupac-- it was a pretty one-sided feud.
I think it mainly became legend because they both died shortly after.
How would you quantify it?
Regardless of the songs or what not; it accompanied 2 coast; and all the east vs west shit that occurred during and afterwards; and all the artist that were involved!! So many!! Kdot and Drake was just that; pac and big was bigger
It seems that a regional feud (California vs NY) is definitionally less wide-reaching than Kendrick vs Drake (not just national but international).
I also beg to differ on "regardless of the songs"-- that shit had one memorable song with direct hits. It doesn't compare.
Personally, I think Nas/Jay-Z beats 2pac/Biggie for that reason.
You must not been around during that time! The big pac beef wasn’t regional; it engulf all of hip hop!! And at that time the overwhelming majority of acts came out of either NY or LA ! Again common, who was from Chicago, was involved; just as an example! So it kills in comparison; you guys get caught up in social media like it’s the only thing in the world. Social media doesn’t make it bigger…
God, ah, my confession is yours
But, who am I if I don't go to war?
There's opportunity when livin' with loss
I discover myself when I fall short
Three angels watchin' me all the time
Put my children to sleep with a prayer, then close my eyes
Definition of peace
Tell me who gon' stop me? I come from love
Have you ever thought that OVO is workin' for me?
Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person
Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it
Can't Toosie Slide up outta this one, it's just gon' resurface
Every dog gotta have its day, now live in your purpose

I was single digits in age...
I do think social media is an amplifier and it absolutely does make things bigger. Kendrick/Drake, with the exact same songs, would not have been nearly as big 20 years ago.
The conversation here is "bigger" not "best"...
I agree but at the time, all of hip hop was involved in some way or another with the pac and big! Shit was wild and everyone took sides and had an opinion! Unlike kdot and drake, where a lot of people were scared to say anything!! Every magazine every radio station every dj every everything was talking about it. Got so big that both are gone in some ways because of it; nothing bigger fam…
We already know kdot release date; all we gotta do is follow Big it….
This is THE ONE for me,
He prayed. Told God he knew it may not be want He wanted him to do, but he has to as a man. Brought his ancestor (grandmother) into it for protection. And said he understand there may be consequences that come with this, but he'll sleep well knowing he did the right thing. He knew Family Matters was coming (that night) and knew he had Meet The Grahams afterward and what that would do. That shit is a lyrical masterclass. I'll be using it to teach my college workshops this year
This. Not to mention the amount of songs in a short timeframe.
