    I can't think of one aspect of rap that LL is better than Pac in. Not flow, content, hits, nothing.

    Not acting.

    This man is in 40's, so of course he likes LL better than PAC. He grew up on LL and he's from NY.


    50s

    1st of all Kobe was not, is not and never will be a better "technical" player than LeBron
    2nd of all lebron took Eric snow, Larry Hughes, drew Gooden and the cast of the Cosby show to the finals
    Kobe had what 19 triple doubles in 20 seasons
    LeBron got 45
    Kobe got the record for most missed shots in the history of the league
    And let's not even act like he didn't play with the most dominant center in like forever when he won his 1st 3
    Kobe is Carmelo with better teammates and a ? attitude
    Cut the ?

    Also when and if lebron falls off he'll still be a contributor because he does more than score
    Soon as Kobe started breaking down it was a wrap for the Lakers
    ? said it ain't close
    No, it's not, cuz lebron taking that ? by miles
    Kobe was a Westbrook type ? whereas he might go 9 for 41 but if he hit the game winning shot it's mamba mentality
    Like ? u the reason we needed a game winning shot
    If yo uglass wasn't out here tryna score on 4 ? at once and made the correct pass we might be up by 25
    Kobe is a relic
    A thing of the past
    Efficiency and high basketball iq is what's poppin
    Not volume scoring iso ?
    Same reason why Westbrook might avg a triple double this year and not make the playoffs

    Can we stop talking about Kobe though. He's one of the best and so is Lebron. LET IT GO.

    LL is in his own lane...He's a legend in his own right as far as skills and catalog goes..Alot of LL's songs have aged gracefully on some nat king Cole ? .."Doin it wild" and "boomin system" still sound fresh to this day

    From a technical aspect ,'LL is definitely a better rapper than Pac..Pacs delivery,while passionate and fiery, was basic...

    However,it was the way that basic passionate flow connected with people's emotions shows you that Pac is superior artist overall..Sometimes substance trumps style

    Now from a die-hard hip hop head's perspective Pac couldn't hang in a rappity rap lyricist type arena..He would get washed..? ,kurupt and Redman washed Pac bar for bar on "got my mind made up"...Even tho to his credit,Pac was able to maintain his respect as emcee by rapping with aggression

    Biggie also washed him on the collabs they did together (runnin,house of pain)

    Footwork wise, defensively one of one, scoring from a variety of angles, in a variety of ways. Kobe was tough.

    Lebron literlly has 2 moves, shoot a 3 or wave a pick away back out to half court then do the exact same ? move he would have done if the pick was there, bull to the basket and get a layup. Kobe had jabs, pullups, floaters, fadeaways, post ups, deep 3s, all kinds of ? .

    He was a better "Player" from a scoring standpoint, and technically, but lebron does everything, some of it sloppily, and still gets it done. I still think lebron has potential, lots of it left in the post, and a more well rounded offensive game. I would start my franchise with lebron before anyone in history not named Lew Alcindor. Jordan included.

    I promise not to post about that anymore in this thread.

    LL on 4,3,2,1 with ? , Red, DMX and Canibus. Some of the hottest ? out at the time and arguably came out on top. Beefed with some of the hottest ? and came out on top each time.

    I've never really got the Pac hype if I'm honest

    Lol. You're one of a few.

    That "I don't get the hype", could be said about a lot of things and people, so it's understandable.

    Yeah but when ? talk Pac they talk legacy. Use words like 'passion' and 'emotion'. I've tried to get into his music so many times. Bar a couple songs, his first two albums are barely listenable. Lyrically he's good and technically he's average at best.

    Remember, it's all opinions. That's your opinion.

    If you can't get the passion, emotion and energy in his music, that's on you.

    So we're agreed that he's good lyrically and technically average at best?

    Coz LL is dope on both fronts

    Stop. LL in his prime flowed much better than Pac, had better wordplay, vocab, delivery, punches etc. LL was also more versatile, he could cover more range. He'd hit the world with the "I Need Love" ? and then you'd hear him ripping Canibus and whoever else apart on a diss track.

    No disrespect but what you smoking ? ?
