You don't listen to much hip-hop do you?
Biggie and 2Pac were about as clichéd as you could get. Outside of drugs, bitches, beef and guns, what did they really talk about.
Oh yeah each had their embarrassingly bad attempts at creating sentimental emotional songs.
You're under the impression that Ready to Die = Good but 'all of todays rap' = bad. You sound like a generic Youtube comment.
Ready to Die doesn't use samples appropriately, the rapping is boring and uninspired. I've touched on the production. Add that to the tired clichés and failed sense of machoism, there's nothing at all 'great' about that album sans Suicidal Thoughts maybe.
As for your top 5 of all time, that's your opinion but before making sweeping inaccurate generalizations about hip-hop (i.e. all todays hip-hop is bad, which couldn't be further from the truth) why don't you try listening to it first?
