I decided to clarify my stance on the debate that’s been raging in HipHop for the past decade on my Twitter today (sidebar – I was on Twitter when it was a BETA so don’t ramp – yes, I am a geek) and it seems that the great and the good who are my Twitter friends seem to agree with me:

Biggie is and was better than 2Pac.
