I've always felt that as classic as this fued/comparison is, it is a comparison of two emcees of two totally different calibres. As a lot have posted already, 'Pac in his prime was never about flow or clever lyricism, it was all about the passion, experience and stories of life. Everything he rapped about came from somewhere/someone/something that would inspire him to spit with such conviction because it was all real. Having said that, his multi-syllable rhyming was ahead of the game at the time, not many other rappers in the mainstream scene of '94-'96 were making more than word per bar rhyme. Biggie on the other hand was all about the flow and the sound of the rhymes, his voice almost becoming another instrument to his funky instrumentals. His subject matter is much more oriented with, money, hoes and partying, a less of the darker side of life, so we didn't relate to him much as a dude who got emotions across like the way 'Pac did, but more for his fun, party, mainstream bangers. So to me, they are of different leagues.
But for the record, I'm all for 'Pac! :P

For me it is Tupac, no doubt.
Biggie is super good too, but I don't think he was on the same level as pac. I love biggies storytelling flow and his voice. To me biggie is the biggest in clothing size
Pacs voice is to vibrant u can hear it anywhere, it will reach u. His message is also coming straight from the heart, u can feel it. like he said he will not rap about "keep ya head up" if he don't feel like it and he wasn't when everybody trashed on him.
Pac also could manage to take out the best outta the rappers he was making a song together with, incredible."Yo Krazy B". "You know what, When u said that last time, I was kind of trippin right, but now yo right, I am crazy, but you know waht else, I don't give a fuck" (Above the rim)
"A coward dies a thousand deaths, A soldiers dies but once." (Tupac)
"I am the punishment of god. If you had not comitted great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you." (Ghengis Khan)

honestly pac as an overall artist. pac spoke from the heart you felt him in his songs. biggie to me were just words had a flow.
and after i heard his mom say biggie went every year to jamaica and started selling crack to get designer jeans i thought ok.
but in juicy you say you had to eat sardines for diner wtf
biggie to me is fake
pac real.GO HABS GO!!!!

Story telling, flow, breath control etc all of these things thats true to New York hip hop goes to Big,Pac had bigger heart, had more emotion in his lyrics, workaholic, loose cannon etc.
There are long periods of time where Pac just doesnt do it for me and i look for rappers with more "skills" on the mic, and then after some time i get in the mood for some Pac and then that's all i want to hear.I ain't choosing sides
Hell nah,fuck everybody
It's Westside when I ride watch 4 dead bodies
Lyrics are colorful words and anesthetics
Problems are getting worked out faster than calisthenics
I'm bullet proof
Blazed up on top of my man's roof
Hands on a fully AK now what 'cha plan to do
Moon motherfuckaz til they feel me
It's West Coast nigga fuck New York
Now did everybody hear me?
