while i'm on the topic of biggie, can we all also admit that he's the goat?

[I love Latina women]

You can't be the goat with only 2 albums. Also his subject matter wasn't diverse like nas. Biggie definitely top 5 tho

yeah, you can. who said you can't? lol
his subject matter was more effective then nas. biggie could do what nas could and more (and i love nas for the record. he's in my top 3)

 

[King Poetic]

Top 5 probably, number 1 or even 2 no

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

The real GOAT

 

[I love Latina women]

Ghost checks off every box Biggie does plus some

Emotional Joints


Girl Joints


Storytelling Joints


Party Joints


Blackout Joints


Catalog is impeccable, Ear is magnificent, Bars is legendary

i love ghost but better then big? hell naw
ghost's verses on only built are legendary and supreme clientele is still the shyt though. ironman is the shyt too

 

[I love Latina women]

Top 5 probably, number 1 or even 2 no

i just feel like in the short span of time, biggie got it all right when it comes to mcin' and he set the bar that hasn't been touch since

 

[I love Latina women]

The real GOAT

not the goat but definitely top 5

It's unfair to compare Big to his peers due to him passing

We really don't know how his career could've panned out

But, the way things ended up panning out, Ghost is better than Big IMHO

As far as skill, like I said, Ghost checks off every box Big does, plus some

Plus his catalog is better (36 Chambers, Purple Tape, Ironman - Fishscale)

The only thing Big has over Ghost is the fact that he passed at the absolute height of his career

Any artist that passes at that point is automatically elevated to a status that they never would've achieved had they lived out their careers

With all that being said...

 

[SunZoo]

Nah.

i don't agree with you on ghost bein' better then biggie but i respect your opinion

 

[MidnightMercenary]

Ghost

But Big is great too

 

[Spitta Andretti]

I prefer Pac but I may have a we$t coast bias ... Either way BIG top 5 just depends where you rank him

I also prefer Andre 3000 over him

 

[tuckgod]

I respect yours as well breh

That's all that matters for real

Ain't no science to this shyt

true, fair enough

 

[tuckgod]

ready to die - 1 disc and life after death - 2 discs; both filled with nothin' but greatness. no filler. all greatness
those albums and all of his guest appearances are more then enough to solidify him as the goat

biggie had a jimi hendrix (like on hendrix was top rock and roll) type of ripple effect on mcin' in hip hop

That's debatable as well breh

I happen to love almost all of his records but I've heard

RTD
Respect
Friend of Mine

LAD
Another
Nasty Boy

all get shytted on over the years
