I don't think they're of comparable quality. I think ICP are far superior. Tupac is a decent rapper who excels at "rapping hard" but without the East/West Coast rivalry to bolster his popularity wouldn't have amounted to half what he did. ICP are a great pop group, brilliant at storytelling at least in their own way, have not simply one unique idea of a sound but several (even if inspired by other artists), and have personalities that meld to their ideas more creatively than Tupac. I think you just think Tupac goes hard tbh.
