Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G. were, without a doubt, the two biggest rappers of the 1990s.
Their lyrical dexterities were simply unmatched, they simply stood out from their peers.
For years, fans and critics have been caught in heated debates as to which of them was the best when it comes to rap.
Not even death robbing the world of these two amazing talents - Tupac (on September 13, 1996) and Notorious B.I.G. (on March 9, 1997) - could end the debates.
Born Tupac Amaru Shakur, Tupac is known for smash hit songs such as ‘Hit Em Up’, ‘Dear Mama’ and ‘Changes’ while Christopher George Latore Wallace, known on stage as The Notorious B.I.G. or Biggie, or Biggie Smalls, is known for songs likes ‘Juicy’, ‘Hypnotize’ and ‘Mo Money Mo Problems’.
As Accra gears up for the first official party of 2018 – Joy FM 90s Jam - at the Silver Star Tower on Friday, January 5, Ghanaians have voted Tupac as a better rapper than The Notorious B.I.G.
Thursday’s edition of the Cosmopolitan Mix on Joy FM with DJ Black run a poll to put the never-ending debate to rest once and for all.
Numerous callers and listeners who sent in messages overwhelmingly voted Tupac as the best rapper.
In all 24 listeners, 19 voted via WhatsApp and 5 voted via calls, gave it to Tupac while 6 listeners voted for The Notorious B.I.G.
The annual Joy FM 90s Jam, now a major fixture on Ghana’s entertainment calendar, is the perfect event that helps Ghanaians reminisce the wide array of things the 1990s had to offer.
The 1990s came with good music - R&B and rap - and classic fashion. That era gave birth to what is now, without a doubt, the biggest music genre in Ghana – hiplife.
The Joy FM 90s Jam Party is that event that gives music lovers another rare opportunity to dust off their combat boots, wear their hoodies, baggy jeans, and bling blings.
So mark the date, the 2018 edition of the Joy FM 90s Jam comes off at the Silver Star Tower on Friday, January 5.
