just think about this.\n\n"Dead Presidents" is considered one of if not the best rap single Jay Z put out.   and HE SAMPLED NAS ON THAT SONG..\n\njay-z has made a lot of money.. he has lyrics. he has good songs. but he has not and will never make a hip hop classic like nas and his debut "ILLMATIC"      its timeless work.\n\nplus jay-z loses a lot for BITING 2PAC, BITING SNOOP, BITING B.I.G. so much.. if you doubt me listen to this "im not a writer, im a biter" mp3 documenting all the biting.\n\nhttp://www.flyshow.com/_audio/JayZBiter.mp3

Both were great and hip hop wouldnt be the same without either one. In my opinion  Pac was better he had deep lyrics but Biggie had great beats...

I totally agree with you, I used to big A HUGE Jay-Z fan, I  loved his music. But one thing, I love 2Pac and never really listened to Biggie Smalls. But one day I just so happened to listen to a couple of Biggie Albums and there it was... Every single lyric I heard come out of Jay-Z's mouth was on Biggie's albums. I was so disgusted. I later learned how he betrayed Dame Dash., and then when he came back to the rap scene... Oh no, I had just about enuff of him!!! I stopped supporting him or his music and by the way his flows aren't that hot, even if it is Biggie.... he just screws it up. And 2 answer ur question, when did Jay-Z give a heck about the worlds water supply... Oh I know when he album was about 2 drop. He noticed the popularity Yahoo Answers was getting and decided to advertise here. What a Shame, I have no respect for him what so ever!

Jay Z and P Diddy would be equal if Jay Z wasn't KILLIN IT with Rocafella.  They both got good tracks and clothing companys but Jazzy definitely is in the lead there.  And yes, Nas and Jay Z hate eachother and it's been heated since years ago.  As Nas would say (to Jay Z) "I rock hoes, you roc fellas"

If he's not alive, where the hell is all this music coming from? Especially the music with rappers that are hot today that weren't before 2Pac's death. Frankly I think he's still alive so that he can use "hey, i'm dead" as his unique gimmick.

You can't deny that Biggie had skills, a way with words that made you feel them. He may not have been rapping about himself in every instance, but his lyrics were real and relevent to many. I wouldn't call myself die hard rap fan, but the first time I hear Ready to Die, I was blown away! \nThere's always going to be that question: who was greater, Biggie or Tupac? But in this situation, which ever one you choose, you can form a solid arguement to back your claim. The fact that he had just two albums - yes in quantity it wasn't much (compared to Tupac's 8 skabillionth release) but the quality of the music, the lyrics, his command is what puts him up there, not necessarily what he personally did. He got straight A's in school, well, Tupac was in a youth arts program, Snoop was in glee club...it doesn't make them any less hard....it shows that they can adapt and do the damn thing.

Don Omar. He's obviously the more mature (and better) artist. His music still has a nice rhythm but isn't repetitive like Daddy Yankee's. Besides, he actually talks about something in his songs.

Thats hard!!!  There all pretty good.  But I'd have to say Yung Joc is really good.  And Lil Jon.

RAKIM of Eric B & Rakim.I think NAS ,JAY Z,PAC & KRS-ONE of Boogie Down Productions come in @ a close 2nd.All of them made so many contributions to Hip-Hop you can't pick just one.Some people say BIGGIE should have a top spot,but with two albums,I really don't see how he could hold such a title.....I see OTHER people will disagree and say Eminem,that's because they don't know any better.He is hands down the best white rapper of all time,but NOT the best rapper period.

I will say that he is a good rapper.  But greatest of all time is definitely pushing it.  2Pac is the greatest of all time.  Jay-Z's songs carry a beat, but really never had anything important to say.  However 2Pac always had something to say.  He had his songs about being a hardcore thug in cali, but he also has encouragement for people living in the ghetto.  He also started the now popular songs on giving thanks to women in your life, with "Dear Mama."  He has meaning and pain in his songs that other people have tried to achieve but haven't.   He raps about things people of all classes, races, and gender can relate to.  And in his grave he still remains to be one of the most influential rappers.  Can Jay-Z, or any rapper, make that claim...I think not!
