Shyne Cam and Mase over Big
Be real with yourselves brehs.
a poster already mentioned in this thread big was not authentic, mase is a p*ssy but thats not what his rhymes where about. cam is an a$$hole and shyne is a barbarian (all 3 can do what biggie can, especially mase and cam there multi's are influential to a true bar spitter)
biggie was a fraud and you could tell in his rhymes even before his mom exposed him but ..... like Jay, big's shallow raps are not consumer friendly without a banging beat and hook.
its like listening to Jay honestly i dont wish that dude all that well in life, not saying he should die but if he did from the character he is then worst things could happen nahmean, same for big they just werent nice people. also biggie is dope but his badboy hits are doper, the one more chance remix where he stopped the yelling was the start of dopeness and they had to force him to record 'juicy' the last song recorded for R2D.
which means without badboy, big wouldnt be much but a dope MC like them subway heads in the cyphers.
