#The RZA Says 2Pac Was A More Dangerous MC Than Biggie

According to the good folks at Hypebeast.com, legendary Wu-Tang Clan spitter/producer and recent TV series magnate The RZA sat down for a recent interview with The Art Of Dialogue where he was asked about his thoughts on both The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac. His response has Hip Hop heads everywhere reverting to that age old “Who would you rather” conversation about the two powerhouse artists.

It was a rarity at the time the dueling rappers were alive, to get other artists from various camps to offer commentary on who was better or more skilled at expressing themselves. So, for life long fans it’s giving pure adrenaline to those hearing that RZA had chimed on the subject.

Says RZA, “You go to Pac, once again, immaculate voice, but what Pac had, I think, was a way of touching us in all of our emotions. Like, Pac had the power to infuse your emotional thought, like ‘Brenda Has a Baby,’ ‘Dear Mama,’ but then he had the power to arouse the rebel in you. You know? And those two things—actually, he was probably more dangerous than Big.

Notorious B.I.G., we could party with him, to this day we’re still…but Pac, we’re probably, going to point, he was more going into the Malcolm X of things and society fears that.”

RZA also noted that 2 Pac is “really good at communicating love and starting revolutions while Biggie can do so but with less of the revolutionary impact.”

Check out RZA’s views on the topic in the video below.

Let us not forget that RZA actually worked with the Notorious one on the song Long Kiss Goodnight so he was able to experience the greatness of the Brooklyn badass up close and in person.

Unfortunately, due to the untimely death of Mr. Shakur, RZA was not afforded the opportunity to work with him. What that might have sounded like fans are left to simply wistfully imagine.
