Released in 1999, prior to the Eminem’s familiarity established with Dr. Dre’s 2001, “My Name Is” was something of a juggernaut of a debut single, as it quickly propelled Eminem to superstardom. With this came an expansion of his fanbase, as even women started to take interest in the Detroit MC.

This led to a popularity among females that closely resembled that of R&B singer, Usher. You can even hear women screaming in the background. Early in his career Em opened for Usher a few times, one in which he met now longtime friend Royce Da 5'9".

Ms. Wallace is Biggie’s mother.

The Lyrical differences between 2Pac and Biggie are quite big.
Biggie had more mainstream songs, such as Hypnotize, and horrocore songs such as Dead Wrong.
On that other hand, 2Pac was a consicous rapper, with songs like Changes and Brenda’s Got a Baby, you can understand why some people would prefer 2Pac over Biggie.

Another difference is, that 2Pac was known for respecting women, stuff that you can find in many of his songs:

And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it’s time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women

Biggie had songs like Me and My Bitch which was later referenced on the song.
