Big Gipp Says 2Pac Would've Beat JAY-Z If He Was Still Alive

Big Gipp gives his view on Billboard & Vibe’s Top 50 Greatest rappers list.

Billboard and Vibe’s recently released Top 50 best rappers list is currently trending among the hip-hop fraternity and fans as several emcees are giving their opinion on it. Now in a new interview with The Art of Dialogue, Big Gipp says 2Pac would’ve topped the list instead of JAY-Z if he was alive.

“The only reason why you inching Jay past 2Pac is because he got God damn Beyonce,” he said. “You take Beyonce away then sh*t, bar for bar, yeah, he might rap better than ‘Pac. But ‘Pac came with the heart. That’s different, that’s just different. You can never beat the heart, bro. Some people can be technical, just like the difference between Jordan and LeBron.”

He continued: “If ‘Pac was here, who you think the girl would have been with? Hold up… you still can’t act. You can’t do no movies you can’t do what ‘Pac was doing. C’mon, how can you be better than ‘Pac? … that boy was a triple threat. He did groups that was successful, solo albums that was successful and movies that was successful, hands down partner. If he had lived he would have smoked everything walking.

“After that album that he was doing, he already showed him finished with the new album. When he was moving to Atlanta, putting on the slate, he like, ‘I’m going back and I’m gonna start my new label in Atlanta.’ That sh*t he was doing over at Death Row was already wrote out. He was already writing the new album and gonna say the new label was gonna be in Atlanta… so with me knowing and knowing how electric he was when he walked in the room… ‘Pac didn’t need no money to get people to look at him. ‘Pac was a star without the money.”

Big Gipp reached the conclusion that 2Pac was the fastest rapper, and also pointed out that when the late artist portrayed Bishop in the movie Juice, he was admired by many women.

In addition to his musings on the potential relationship between Beyoncé and Tupac, he also remembered the occasion when Tupac, the “All Eyez On Me” rapper, famously challenged Biggie Smalls.
