Cam'ron & Ma$e Argue DMX Was A Better Rapper Than 2Pac: '[He] Had More Than 'Pac'

Cam’ron and Ma$e both believe that DMX was a better rapper than 2Pac.

In a discussion on Gillie Da Kid and Wallo’s Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, the topic turned to who was a better rapper between X and ‘Pac.

Cam’ron, who collaborated and toured with the former, offered his opinion first, saying: “Me personally? I seen DMX. I didn’t really get to see 2Pac. I’m talking about on tour with DMX, in the studio with DMX. I actually got to see n-ggas lose their mind about DMX.

“I know n-ggas love 2Pac, but I didn’t get to see him on tour or do anything else. So for me, it’s DMX because I actually got to be a part of and see him from the tournament rapping to selling 10, 20 million or however many millions of records he sold.”

Ma$e, who also worked with DMX on songs such as “24 Hrs. to Live” and “Take What’s Yours,” echoed Cam’ron’s sentiments: “I would definitely have to say DMX because when you saw the energy he poured, that DMX gave n-ggas, you could just stop one lyric that he would be saying and the whole arena would say it.

“I think a lot of times, because you learn the flaws of a n-gga, you forget how great n-ggas really were. Like DMX was one of those special, special talents.”

He added: “When I first heard DMX in the studio, I was like, ‘This n-gga is just different.’ ‘Pac was phenomenal too, I can’t take nothing away from ‘Pac, but DMX had more than Pac. I’ma go on the record and say he had more than ‘Pac.”

Fellow New Yorker Memphis Bleek recently appeared on Drink Champs and told a particularly wild DMX and Ma$e story from the ’90s.

Bleek detailed an incident that took place at iconic New York nightclub The Tunnel, which famously featured in the opening of X’s 1998 movie Belly.

“This is the first day I met X,” Bleek recalled. “Diddy and Bad Boy and them are all riding down on the beach. Here come Ma$e on a scooter. That n-gga X jumped out the car and started chasing Ma$e. ‘Yo! Get back here! Wait ’til I catch you, n-gga!’

“So I’m in the back seat, like, ‘Yo! What the fuck happened between him and Ma$e?’ And nobody in the n-gga crew was running behind him, trying to stop him. So I said, ‘Whoever this n-gga is, he’s official.’”
