In turn though, could G Rap flow like Big? I'm not so sure...

 

[I love Latina women]

kool g rap is a very underrated pioneer and is an unsung hip hop act but my vote goes to big

 

[blac_da_rappa]

They both have unique flows. But Kool G Rap's flow is just better

I guess that depends on personal preference rather than necessarily being better, I can see what you mean though and why you'd say that and that's fair enough. But personally I don't think a more rapid of multi filled flow necessarily means better. To me Biggie's flow was perfect for his style, I don't think he really would have suited some of what G did and probably vice versa too. I think G is a beast, but I think someone for instance like KRS was more naturally diverse with the flows, where he was more at home with different shyt, like I said though, G is a beast and he's great on attack mode, and he has a dope flow no doubt, the primary thing I probably like G for though is lyrics, with Biggie it would probably be rhythm and flow.

Kool G doesn't only have a rapid flow. The other video I posted of him "It's a Shame", is the slowest flow I ever heard. The reason I say he's better because of how he fits the words in a song better than alot of rappers. Listen to "It's a Shame". It's like he lands each word on the beat perfectly, plus has remarkable timing for you to digest what he said as he flows

Another song where he raps slow




And IMO Biggie's "versatile" flow is aight, he tried alot of flows in his career. Being versatile doesn't always mean you're better. Jack of all trades, master of none. Kool G Rap's flow is more consistent and potent

You don't have to convince me about G Rap bro, 1 of my favourite rappers lol. In my top 20. I think it really comes down to preference, I don't think 1 is inherently superior to the other, Big's maybe is more smooth, G's is a little more gritty, it depends what you prefer. I personally prefer Big's, but I know G's flow is DOPE, he's a beast, to me personally they both are. I understand what you're saying though.

Yeah true that. And you right about KRS One. In my opinion KRS is the GOAT of versatile flows. So effortless

[RING, RING]

(Hello? Aw shyt, nikka. What the fukk time is it, man?
Oh god damn. nikka do you know what time it is?
Aw shyt, what the fukk's goin' on? You alright?
Aw, nikka what the fukk is wrong wit you?)

When I die, fukk it I wanna go to hell
Cause I'm a piece of shyt, it ain't hard to fukkin' tell
It don't make sense, goin' to heaven wit the goodie-goodies
Dressed in white, I like black Tims and black hoodies
God will probably have me on some real strict shyt
No sleepin' all day, no gettin my dikk licked
Hangin' with the goodie-goodies loungin' in paradise
fukk that shyt, I wanna tote guns and shoot dice
All my life I been considered as the worst
Lyin' to my mother, even stealin' out her purse
Crime after crime, from drugs to extortion
I know my mother wished she got a fukkin' abortion
She don't even love me like she did when I was younger
Suckin' on her chest just to stop my fukkin' hunger
I wonder if I died, would tears come to her eyes?
Forgive me for my disrespect, forgive me for my lies
My babies' mothers 8 months, her little sister's 2
Who's to blame for both of them (naw nikka, not you)
I swear to God I just want to slit my wrists and end this bullshyt
Throw the Magnum to my head, threaten to pull shyt
And squeeze, until the bed's, completely red
I'm glad I'm dead, a worthless fukkin' buddah head
The stress is buildin' up, I can't,
I can't believe suicide's on my fukkin' mind
I want to leave, I swear to God I feel like death is fukkin' callin' me
Naw you wouldn't understand (nikka, talk to me please)
You see its kinda like the crack did to Pookie, in New Jack
Except when I cross over, there ain't no comin' back
Should I die on the train track, like Remo in Beatstreet
People at the funeral frontin' like they miss me
My baby momma kissed me but she glad I'm gone
She knew me and her sista had somethin' goin' on
I reach my peak, I can't speak,
call my nikka Chic, tell him that my will is weak.
I'm sick of nikkas lyin', I'm sick of bytches hawkin',
matter of fact, I'm sick of talkin'.
[BANG]
(hey yo big...hey yo big)

 

[Wacky D]

these guys are both 2 of my top 15 ever but KGR is a lot higher than Biggie. to me biggie is like Hakeem and KGR is like Russell or Wilt.

THIS.

 

[DANJ!]

I like how you take one of the roughest G Rap songs ever...

...and juxtapose it with the radio joint by BIG, LMAO



I ain't knockin' the hustle, but I see the angle...

Well played

 

[Dirty D]

I'll drop the elephant in the room.

G Rap has a lisp. You can't beat Big with a lisping rapper. Sorry. All due respect.
