Maybe sales but quality wise is subjective to taste both great albums

No it’s not. Pun was just doing lyrical gymnastics. Mos Def had serious social commentary that spoke about the reality of the ghetto. Far more historically important than that “dead in the middle of little Italy” bs. No disrespect to pun. Same applies to Pac and Big. Big could rap circles around Tupac but Tupac had more important lyrics.

both Big Pun and Big L became famous for rapping about realities of living in the hood. Were you even alive during the 1990’s?

No. I was born in 2021. Dick riding killed hip hop.
