Genius, and or legends, can't possibly be quantified.
who is goat
It's not Big. 2 albums and no disrespect to the dead but his death made life after death bigger than what it exactly was. If it was 1 cd it'll be perfect but it wasn't. There are better rappers IMO with better discographys. I'll call Cube, Scarface, Ghostface, Nas, or Jay GOAT before him.

Also Biggie loved to put in subliminal political messages in his rhymes. Like this:
"Drop Cops that mistake me for Rodney" (Police Brutality Reference to Rodney King where Big implies he will fight back instead of being killed or beat down by the police.)
Or
"The Streets is a short stop, either your slinging crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot" (Reference to proverty in African American Ghetto's across America as well as the limited choices and opportunites Blacks have to succeed in racist society.
Also
"Not able to move behind great steel gates, Time to comteplate, Damn where did I fail, All the Money I stack was all the Money for Bail (Here Biggie talks about how being a Drug Dealer isn't all that it's cracked up to be and that he found himself in a vicious cycle of consequences because of his bad decisions)
Biggie featuring with Tupac on "Running from the Police" is more relevent now than ever. Even on "RTD" it was more a moral tale of why a certain lifestyle will have you in Jail "Intro" or Dead "Sucidal Thoughts" Will Smith stated that "Ready To Die" should be studied in psychology classes to understand the plight of the black male in the inner city. If you listen to both album there is a moral and social tale woven through the entire work. Big was an artist so his work reflected that artristry. Again I really believe he would of ended up an Author, Screenwriter or Director if he wasn't a rapper because of his storytelling abilities. Big was right, he truly did have a story to tell. I mean Big did say he was the "Hitchcock of Hip Hop" for a reason. Ironically Hitchcock had a Classic film named "Notorious".

youre laughing cuz you mustve got into rap late.
look at all the real big time rap legends. most of them really just have 2 or 3 signature albums. doesn't matter how many they dropped. especially the older guys, who dropped about the same amount of stuff as biggie.
shoot, look at 2pac. he was out for 6 years, but the last two years are the reasons why hes the most popular out of all the goat contenders.
you new dudes and your quantity over quality lifestyle.

Nah
And don't take this personal but I don't wanna hear an opinion of this era or these artists from someone who was 10/11 years old & outside of the Tri-State area when he died. You can never fully grasp that era no matter what you've read about it. The thing is you can be pretty consistent & unbiased with your thoughts till someone mentions Biggie or Bone Thugs then your bias comes out.

I had PTSD after hearing this song....it was like I was there
Nah
for starters, what does this have to do with my post? absolutely nothing. why don't you go back & address that?
I'm from philly(big's biggest market outside of his town) and was in 7th grade when biggie died. maybe you were a sheltered one at that age, but if you were cut like that, life pretty much revolved around hip-hop, sports & runnin the streets. basically sports, hip-hop & piff. TAG-LINE.
