      the best discography out of them and is the most creative. But he got some corny lines and isn’t as lyrically gifted as the other two.
      Eminem has displayed some of the greatest lyricism and conveys his message in the most powerful way.
      Nas is the most consistently amazing of the three. The other twos uniqueness leads to them having lows.

      That was Pac's biggest skill was to move people's emotions and he did have some technical skills but was more of a real and straightforward type of MC. Biggie was more about lyricism, cadence, flow, storytelling, punchlines, use of multiple entendres and being humorous at times as well. After saying all that I would choose Nas and Pac over any MCs. Big Pun and Prodigy would be in there as well, along with Rakim in my top 5 skill wise. Eminem would be right there in that mix as well based on mic skills and ability. If we're talking about my personal favorite top 5, the list would be slightly different. If I'm honest my personal top 3 would be Nas, Mac Miller and Pac. The other 2 spots can sometimes change with my mood or time but there are 4 who are currently in the mix for those 2 spots for awhile now! Right now I would say Pun and Guru with Prodigy right on the cusp of being in there as well! I'm sure many would quickly disagree but musically u can't help who hits u in a certain way and have u really feeling their style or them lyrically. It's all subjective when it comes to hip hop and music in general!

    People in the comments are either misunderstanding what Jay meant or purposefully misinterpreting what he said.
    His reference to "technical skill" didn't mean Pac wasn't lyrical. But Pac was a pretty straightforward person, in and out of the booth. Pac didn't use double or triple entendres (Jay), or Iambic pentameter (Kendrick), or write an album with a story that plays differently whether you listen to the songs in order or in backwards order (Lupe). That's just not the kind of person Pac was, and it wasn't the kind of rapper he was. Pac was visceral and direct; if he wanted to say something, he just said it, no double or hidden meanings needed.
    That's not a slight to him at all. Pac was Leonardo Da Vinci with the pen. Jay is Salvadore Dali. Both are artists, but their approach to the art was/is completely different, this the listener's experience is completely different.

      PAC doesn’t rap like a NY boom bap era rapper. He doesn’t go in with punch lines and metaphors. PAC paints pictures and flows amazingly . Jay wasn’t hating at all

    Pac was a skillful and technical lyricist he just felt that his main audience which was poor and struggling black people should be his main focus so he tailored his words and topics accordingly.

      Finally someone who understands that pac dumbed down his lyrics. Pacs vocabulary was second to none but he didn't want his music to go over people heads.
