These days, Pac and Biggie remain respected emcees among their peers and fans, and often, artists are still asked to pick one over the other. Such was the case when Wiz Khalifa recently caught up with DJ Whoo Kid.
In an exclusive video shared by Complex, Wiz is seen giving his answer to the age-old question.

That's not to say that one is better than the other, but I just love how complex his bars are."
“Pac is raw, Pac is crazy, he’s hard, his beat selection was wild, his work ethic was crazy. You know, just his attitude and, you know, everything like that. But I’m more on the Biggie side, for sure.”
