Reasonable Doubt and American Gangster>>>>>>RTD is better the any Jay-z album easily but I would give Jay the edge lyrically and diversity wise overall. Somehow, Biggie had less range in topics/subject matter than Jay-z

RTD is better than RD and way better than American Gangster
American Gangster is neck and neck with Reasonable Doubt to me at this point

American Gangster is his best project lyrically and doesn't have the dips of Ain't No Jigga and Cashmere Thoughts (which I still really enjoy)
It's Jay's most consistent project.

Finally someone says it. Diddy blessed him with some of the best production of Jays career and lyrically Jay was spitting some of his best and consistent verses. I don't understand the hate for American Gangster when it can compete with some of Jay's best albums

Jay z love to use biggie`s rhymes.
Biggie is everything that jay z aspired to be as a rapper.
He's diet coke next to original coke.

Put big and jay on the same track most likely big will dominate. But I prefer jays music. So how do you decide? Jay easily. His music speKs more to me even though I never sold drugs. Biggie was always impressive but never really moved me. Biggie the rap version of Whitney Houston to me. Great powerful voice but not an aretha, or Sarah Vaughan or dinAh Washington.

2 albums that not only defined a whole era but set a blueprint for rappers that's still being used today.

Big is the Father, Hov is the Son. Biggie handpicked him to be his successor and carry the torch. Jay Z honored his legacy by never failing to go a single album without sampling him or using his bars. Yes he overdid with Big's Rhymes book but his explaination on "What more can I say" made me look at it differently. Mainly because he knew Big and Big had mad love for him. Throughout it all Jay became one of the greatest most iconic rappers of all time. Biggie would be so proud of Jay and what he was able to do. Jay's career is basically us looking at where Big could have been had he survived that fateful day. Biggie layed the Blueprint and Jay followed it masterfully. With all that said, Jay's Best 2 are not better than "Ready To Die and Life After Death".
Also though both are verstile, I think Big's storytelling is the tie-breaker against Jay. Both have bars, Both have amazing flow. But Biggie painted pictures in a way that even Jay has to bow down. Now don't get it twisted Jay proved he can get down on the storytelling front, "Meet the Parents" was braillant. But Big didn't just paint pictures, he spit Motion Pictures on wax. Also though Jay hung with Big well on all 3 songs (BK FInest, Love the Dough, Young G's) there's no way you couldn't hear Big dominating on all 3 songs. Even on the "Whatcu Want" Remix on "Duets" Jay didn't outright outshine old 93 Big verses. I do feel "I Love The dough" was Big's way of accepting Jay had next in line. "The Commission" Album will forever be a lost Classic in Hip Hop Mythology. This is my fav Photo of them because it's clear Biggie could see the future. He knew Jay was speical:
"Ask my mans JIGGA, My Ace Boon c00n, He told me cut that B!tch off if the sh!t Balloon" - Biggie
THE COMMISSION EP
Brooklyn's Finest
I Love The Dough
Young G's
Whatcu Want (Commission Remix)
