where my nikka @Knicksman20 at?:myman:

"biggie smalls is the illest!" :yes:
"throw down some ice for the nicest mc" :whew:

You already know bro. Big's skill level was off the charts & the most well rounded emcee to grace the mic. Like I said in another thread; he's the Christopher Nolan of the rap game. I don't think they'll ever be another emcee to come out the gate & do what Big did.

I literally was sick to my stomach when I was seeing the widespread Biggie slander on here about a year back. Dudes on here calling him overrated, not lyrical, not a Top 10 MC...sh!t was disgusting. I sincerely feel Biggie's the most well rounded MC of all time. He was just so effortless.

Always kills me when people try and put Jayz on Biggies level...Jay never had that larger than life presence Biggie..Biggie is the prototype of what a MC should be..I personally think Pac was the better overall artist, but Biggie deserves all the props he gets..

That's why there's only one GOAT. If anything keeps Jay up at night, it's knowing that he'll never top a dead man who's body of work is two albums deep.
Big a better story teller, Jay (prime not this shoddy SuperValu version) had the lyricism.

change "good" to phenomenal.

I rediscovered his 1st two albums last month. And I've had them both since they were new 20+ yrs ago. But I was a kid then.

Now I listen as an adult and they're amazing.

dude basically set the blueprint for how damn near all modern rappers rap with the storytelling and lyricism.

there's a reason his music doesn't sound dated damn near 20 years after he died.

HELL NO!
i got respect for jay for his run in the game but what biggie did musically from 92' to 97', jay has never measured up to in my honest opinion
only thing jay got over biggie his more material but what's that sayin' when a lot of the material ain't all that? not a lot at all

biggie >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> jay z

all day, everyday
again, biggie smalls is the illest!

Give me Bigs first two albums over jays whole catalogue any day of the week

this man speaks the truth! PREACH! :salute:
dap and +rep :myman:

Jay always been a watered down corny rapper. Its a damning indictment of how shyt rap became post 97 that this man not only became successfull but grown men seriously consider him as a GOAT candidate

15 albums, 2 classics at best, a ratio of 1 dope song for every 10 tracks

And this is yall hero?

:camby:
