I actually feel quite the opposite.. you can't dance to biggie's shit, it is just some plain ol story tellin rap with some oldies'ish eastcoast boring boring beats..
just the dude talking over the thing like a william burroughs spoken word recording..
whereas westcoast beats have the meanest groove, you can straight dance it up! and to those who don't remember, 2pac is FROM the eastcoast, and used to chill and rap with Biggie as well...

I think you are judging Pac to harshly in regards to his school and art habits, he still grew up in the projects, and still did all the bullshit project kids do.. have you been to the p.j.z? They are full of bright, artistic kids, who also sell crack and carry guns..
since when did crack selling, gun packing motherfuckers have to be art free? I have known a few of these kinds of people who were far from "super thug" by popular image, but still "thugged" it up quite a bit.. I know a straight Probation Officer who paid for his college career selling big weight in crack (and still does, goes to work as a PO, comes home and packs a nine on the corner).. and a few other gangsters whose contrast between their day-time lives and late night lives would surprise you..
