one of the things i love/find amazing as Pac (kinda already said) but even though he died way too early, he started so young/consistently put out so much stuff - much of it heartfelt - even in the years we got him, you can listen to him grow as an artist, both in content and style. there's dues ive heard for longer and never seen that.

thoroughly recommend the biggie/frank sinatra mashup album to anyone with taste
+1, very solid mashup. i also +1 whoever said you can skip BIG's posthumous releases, they're mostly crap.

I love hearing Biggie verse on other beats, but I loathe Puffy's production on Ready to Die. It doesn't help that he insists on groaning over every beat. It absolutely ruins everything for me when I listen to that album.
ugh, this really sucks, cause it feels like it dates an otherwise timeless album.
a friend of mine in film school once pointed out why its so much safer to go with an orchestral score to your film: it will serve as a far better time capsule than say putting the daredevil OST to shitty nu-metal.
imagine Ready to Die with fatman scoop hyping the end of every other bar.

Also reminds me that he was so fucking young and talented. Unlike other rappers who found money and fame, Pac never lost his hunger.
yeah, this. its weird trying to imagine how Pac & Big'd be today; i tend to think biggie would fuck with a lot more people than he did (though not as many as say, busta does, haha), but i cant picture Pac putting out tired garbage, seems more his MO to hang up the mic when he feels he's got nothing left to say. maybe he'dve transitioned more to acting like Cube did?

Pac's intangibles were on god-tier, but Biggie's flow is one of the best hip-hop/rap has ever seen. Everyday Struggle all over my face.
pardon my ignorance here; what's an intangible? we referring to that "it" yall were saying Cole didnt have, or...?
ps enzo, dont hate on study groups. its a really easy way to get laid, especially if you live on campus.
