One significant difference between Big and Pac when they were alive is that Big was able to become a sensation on the basis of pure talent alone while living a boring life. Pac 's career was always propped up by controversy, hype and scandal. We're talking everything from **** charges, to shooting a copper, to baseball bat assualts, to beefs with other rappers. Face it, 80% of the guys' career success was based on image. Then he was murdered and became immortal. Anybody that thinks he would have half the status he has now if he had not thrived on controversy when he was alive, and had not been murdered is seriously deceiving themselves..
On the other hand, Big simply made good music.
