Biggie is better than Kendrick at everything.
Kendrick could barely keep up with a past his prime Jay z.

i speak facts not emotions
i mean kendrick is better then biggie in every way
because he has more albums more more to say more diverse flows etc.
but that's not saying much being that biggie only had two albums.

I can't put much too much stock into that list,but If I did look how fast Kendrick reached number 9.
Plus if you want to take it there.
Grammys though I don't give a damn about them,they have alot more history than that Billboard list,that looks like a desperate Hail Mary move.. Kendrick has 11,Jay-Z has 21,Michael Jackson has 19 just for reference. Jay has been around 20 years,Kendrick for about 6,you do the math. He will more than likely be the most critically acclaimed rap artist of all time. And you guys can shyt on the awards,and publications giving him the acclaim,but you put an awful lot of stock in it those awards,and what those publications say when its your favorite rapper. The way you just whipped out that Billboard list,I know for a fact you would love to tout 11 Grammys for Biggie
you really comparing the grammys to billboard ???
A bunch of elderly white man voting on a genre, whom never even heard of the name Kool Herc
This is what you said about his music "They love that PBS after school program "consciousness"...Packaged nice & glossy"
What are some examples of conscience hiphop that you love,similar to Kendricks work in content,that you feel are hard hitting and the opposite of Kendricks?

Yes
? ask any artist how many Grammys,or even nominations they would give back to be put on that list. Kendrick has 11,Jay has 21,Neither would give not even one back to be number 1 on that Billboard list,that is surely written by cacs.

Yes
that list was da main talk for several months with a whole lotta passion, emotions & feelings
while your bullshyt grammy is forgotten minutes after the show
who has Kendrick influenced?
what rappers are trying to steal Kendricks flow?
Biggie birthed alot of rappers style
and what the hell is technical lyricist? If there's one thing Kendrick is not, it's technical.

Your broad loves me.....
Nah, the bars ain’t there yet.
You can be the shyt, flash the fattest five
Have the biggest dikk, but when your shell get hit
You ain't worth spit, just a memory
Remember he, used to push the champagne Range (I remember that)
Silly cat, wore suede in the rain
Swear he put the G in game, had the Gucci frame
before Dana Dane, thought he ran with Kane
I can't recall his name, wasn't he that kid
that nearly lost half his brain over two grams of cocaine?
Getting his dikk sucked by crackhead Lorraine
A fukking shame, dude's the lame, what's his name?
Darkskin Jermaine, see what I mean?

I love Kendrick's music. I disagree about past prime Jay-z because I felt he wasn't really spitting and he was jacking flows then but.....
Biggie is better than Kendrick at everything, literally everything about MCing. There is no way his spot could ever be knocked off by anyone. Especially not someone who isn't from New York. I never understood comparing people directly from two different areas directly. Must have been the east / west media bullshyt. Life is much different in LA than it is New York. The 90s were much different than the 2010s.
Diddy lives in LA now full time. It seems as if he understands what Kendrick means to LA, similar to what Biggie meant to NYC.

This stuff is all subjective. I think the younger dudes like Kendrick because he's a cornball. I don't even mean the pejoratively it just is what it is. He's a hood nerd who gang affiliated dudes on the West Coast cape for because he's all they have left. He gets a lot of respect for talking about a lot of facets of current social/political issues but he doesn't do it in a way nearly as powerful as Ice Cube used to do, for example.
Yes, Biggie had one flow and his subject matter was basically street life/getting money/women. But I think that had a lot to do with the time period--he came up in the NYC crack epidemic. For you younger dudes who don't know what that era was like it didn't leave a lot of room for being "alternative." I might be a dinosaur in my tastes but Biggie speaks more to where/how I came up and the struggle. And I don't think that stuff has changed all that much in our community since '97. Kendrick Lamar is a better popstar but Biggie will always be the hood's favorite emcee (or one of them) in my opinion.

You gullible enough to believe that bullshyt?The masses are asses...Always have been...Especially so nowadays.
If you think Pac is boring/have no classics, I seriously have to question your capacity(not you, people in general).
More than likely, Pac's going over your head......Just Dear Mama & Keep Ya Head up alone will outlive most of these present day rap niccaz
whole catalogs....combined.This the microwave era."Substance" can only be found on the exterior of an artsy fartsy concept.
The music is fleeting.Faint, paper thin, and hollow as fukk.Your songs just have to be seemingly deep nowadays.People have been dumbed down.
Barren dry landscapes in this desert called Hip Hop.Droughts & famines all around.These thirsty fukks will draw a few drops of water out of a rock
and call it the best shyt ever!!Even have the nerve to diss previous era's when the land was flowing with milk & honey.They're pillars of salt.
This nicca just went BIBLICAL on muffuccas. lol
Edit: but yeah, it just has to seem deep.
There's this young dude at my job who was trying to tell me how Kendrick was deep when TPAB was hittin'. He was tellin' me about "How Much A Dollar Cost?" and I got to cracking up in his face...
You are someone who gets it.
This is why someone like Drake will end up being more of a "legend" of our generation than Bruno Mars. People gotta stop acting as if talent makes yourself a shoe in as a legend. There are artists out there who are not even close to being the most talented who will end up with more classic music because like you said we will be listening to them years down the line.
If talent automatically meant a classic, Janelle Monae would be full of them
