Good interview. Having been a DJ overseas in the 90s, Pac was the most admired and loved artist. Big came in second. I've been to 12 countries thus far. Just like Michael Jackson was huge overseas than in the US. RIP Pac and Biggie...

At that moment and even now, it was an ongoing growth of the Cole Vs Kendrick debates. Drake wanted to be known as a lyricist at the time, but no matter what he did he couldn’t out rap those guys even with ghostwriters. So he went to biting island music and his flashy style you see today.

When Pac and Biggie died it interrupted the natural order of rap hierarchy. That old saying to be the man, you have to beat the man. Hov never had to battle the top guys to get that position. We never seen him out do the best but credit to him. When no one else was willing to pick the torch up, he did and made good. Even though he made a ton of money he never had the universal appeal Pac and Big had, but he had a ton of hits, and no doubt he was great.
