biggie is on the border.

in that 9-12 range.

LAD is one of the most overrated rap albums ever, for obvious reasons.
RTD is a classic, but its not some all-timer.

I feel like he got the east coast boost cuz the east coast was desperate for solo star-power at the time. and then got the post-death boost right when LAD dropped. without those boosts influencing me, i'd probably rank him even lower.

I kind of agree with this. I don't know about the boost though. Puff help mold Biggie and helped him have hits that were undeniable. I mean Nas and Wu were making quality music. He wasn't more lyrical than Nas (IMO), was grimy like Wu but was able to give you the gritty, lyricism, and make bangers. He was all around that's why NY rode with him. He was "overall" the best at the time.

biggie is not for the hiphop consumer but the hiphop customer you know the difference, no way in hell would i be rocking jay or big on my old night shifts. but all my top ten you could play and feel optimistic and proud about yourself and life. real soulful lyricist making music with authentic feeling.with no diluted lyrics or craftmanship.

it aint all about you dawg :bryan: - said by someone who should have told em.

I think he is in the 20-25 range. He gets extra credit from a lot of people because he's from New York and he died young.

please if you a true hiphop head then you been writing rhymes from young so its not easy to impress, .... mase is the multi template for rappers like fab.loon,ye,50 and none of them can do it as naturally and effortlesly as mase and cam, especially mase. so to say nursery bar thats actually what some of big's discreditors where saying not knowing bar crafting was getting more slicker and slicker.

as for shyne, he had the illest 50 cent diss from everybody and he recorded it from a jail phone. shyne been ill, god father buried alive and even his debut(all though thats not that great outside som major bangers) .... im not going to change your mind thats not the point, but i like my rappers authentic. biggie is dope but filled with holes, every rapper lies its called poetic license but big needed to re-apply or something because the exposals didnt stop.

i like big enough and thats just because his an incredible MC, but as man and his music. nahh only a few tracks here and there and before LAD he already said his quiting rap because he wants to make ceo ends and got a deal with un riveria and signed cam, his got no unreleased material. it was complacency and not in it for the love.

finally, if you know rap then you know the choice of drink when riding on your enemies is hennessy. who at 25 was having more enemies than Pac :russ:

You confirmed you're a clueless troll with supremely sus taste, ima let u cook tho...

ok, but your probably trolling to think you can give someone theyre own opinion. sus taste you a uk man dem ? ii cant see big ever going in there, if you talking rappers riffy might take his spot.

i work towards the music industry, also been reading the source for every month over a decade before the fall out and xxl/aftermath war. I know where you get your "clues" to form your own likes not what your boy would think of you because its clear you care more about what people think of you than what you think of yourself.
