biggie or nas, who do you think is better?

[I love Latina women]

y'all already know who i'm rollin'; the notorious 1 but who y'all think is better?

 

[Taco]

Nas to me but can't say shyt for someone liking Biggie over him

 

[The Ruler 09]

Biggie while both were alive, overall now Nas cause he has too much dope material...

Biggie in terms overall ability to switch into different types of Hip Hop (though I always wondered if he would have gotten the praise for that had he lived and if his ability to fit with certain commercial sounds would have eventually been seen as a negative from a purist audience)

Nas in terms storytelling and concept records

If someone rated Biggie ahead thats cool, but please dont act like its a mismatch either way which is usually how people act when these go

Not even the most fervent Nas fan would claim it's a mismatch. We know Big was one of the few legends who could stand next to the GOAT Nasir. Y'all don't know about my Biggie wars? He thrived on that competition with Big--some believe he was at his dopest during that period and I wish they could've kept it going.

Nas

Can't choose but I probably have more favorite lines from Biggie than Nas. "My rap lines is like land mines"

 

[JustCKing]

Biggie was great, but if I'm comparing the two while Biggie was alive, I might have to give the edge to Nas. I mean dude told a story from the perspective of a gun. Then he could go into the realm of mafiosos rap and then give you the conscious and introspective joints. The only thing he wasn't as great at was club joints even though he had "Street Dreams".

 

[beenz]

biggie was my favorite when they were both alive, but nas just has too much material for there to even be a valid comparison at this point.
