Personally BIG made anthems. Ready to die is still in rotation after 20+


Pun is definitely underrated as an artist and certainly deserve more acclaim but suggesting Pun is better is foolish imo

Sees the name 'Rodriguez' and immediately understand the bias of the thread :heh:. Big flow circles around Pun. We don't even have to talk about technicality. Big is more fun to listen to. Big had 'it' Pun didn't. The package. All Pun could do is rap fast and throw in a few nonsensical bars. Big could talk about struggle, women and even suicide and make em interesting. Oh and actually make em sound good that versatility needed to be remembered as an artist.

Pun was lyrical but he could NEVER write like this from the female perspective & make it a hit. One of the many reasons Big was so ill

The only Big song I like is Notorious Thugs, and thats mainly due to Bone.
Only big Pun song I like is still not a player, and that was because Joe killed the hook.

I'm not saying Ready to Die and Life After Death weren't dope. But lets be honest, Big Pun was absolutely a better artist and Emcee. Period.

Pun was a better lyricist easily.

Also, B.I.G. is definitely not Top 10 of all time.
Life After Dinner and Ready to Eat are both better then Capital Punishment and Yea Baby
