Classic usually indicates that there is a consensus among fans about the quality of the music. If multiple rap fans tell you the songs are forgettable they are probably not "Classic"

Nobody said they hadn't heard the songs, they said the songs are not classic

Ross is different though. Go through this thread and you can see that most his detractors are


G Unit stans

Biggie Stans

nikkas who think BMF is the best song in Ross' catalogue

nikkas who haven't a clue about Ross discography yet claim to own all his albums(how u own most his albums but can't recognize his songs by name :wtb:)




you can't get an honest debate about Ross without emotions entering the thread.

What im getting at is this debate could never truly take off because most ppl wouldn't even entertain it or they can't argue because theyre not as familiar with Ross as they are with Biggie.

DTR and Teflon Don are CLASSIC albums, they still sound good TODAY even though DTR is over 3 years old and TD is going on 2.

Like I've said earlier, if all u know about Ross is BMF and Hustlin......when i say ALL YOU KNOW i mean those are the only songs you KNOW word for word from Ross, then u have no business debating about whose better between him and Big.

:wtf: at people making a thread like this then saying "most people in it are BIG stans" because they disagree. No, actually the thread is so retarded it's forcing people who normally never talk about BIG, who don't even really like him much, to defend him.

Ross being better than BIG is not a popular opinion, so most people ain't gonna agree with you. You can come up with conspiracy theories and wild speculation why that is, but it's simple: it's not a popular opinion.

:comeon:

That ain't een what im talmbout.

WHat im saying is you can express your love for Biggie all u want, i just have a problem with some of u trying to knock Ross when u haven't even truly listened to him.

Like honestly how are u able to judge what Ross can and can't do MUSICALLY, when yo ass barely knows any of his songs??

You got nikkas in here talmbout Ross only classic song is BMF :what:

How can u listen to Keys to the Crib, Usual Suspects, Rich Off Cocaine, Mafia Music 2 etc and make a dumb as statement like that???

You know how, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T LISTEN. Not one solid argument has been made for Biggie in this thread, but there are MULTIPLE posts from ppl like yourself trying to discredit Ross MUSICALLY and u don't even really listen to him Like that.

Popular opinion=mainstream=outsiders=Sheep

Again you can't say they are classic albums just because YOU think they are. They are good albums but for them to be classic fans and non fans of Ross should know and like the music.
For example you don't have to be a biggie fan to know life after death is a classic album. If you turn on any song from that album the average person will at least recognize the song and which album it came from. Ross on the other hand does not have that kind recognition. Only his fans like and know about his music beyond BMF, hustlin and, ima boss. People don't know Ross verses word for word because they are not classic. Sounds good in the club but ain't nobody really checking for that nikka all like that. Everybody just likes his beats and hooks, hell most of the fans of his songs don't even know who dude is they think he's "Big Meach" or "larry Hoover" or sombody. As a rap fan I try to listen to almost everything and I have heard all of ross' albums and in my opinoin he's not touching biggie. Lyricism, concepts, rhyme schemes, charisma, subject matter you name it big did it better.
Give me your best Ross verse/song/line and ill give you 3 better from big.

To me ross is still rapping about the same topics which are money, maybachs, bytches and drugs. B.I.G. was more of a storyteller with a wide variety of topics. to me ross will never come even close to B.I.G..
And i'm not that much of a B.I.G. fan, because I can't stand Hypnotize which has been played to death over here.

:wtf: What are these wide variety of topics that Biggie raps about? Enlighten us.

Blunts, broads, manage-a-trois


Ross never rapped about that.


Also, Biggie never rapped about Maybachs. Ross does it. So how you comparing them two?

HOW?!?!?!?

Ross could arguably be the greatest "story" teller hip hop has ever seen!
