why is biggie considered so elite lyrically

[DaveyDave]

if you don't get it after listening to that song you never will. i used to think BIG was the GOAT but have changed my mind over the years. he's up there tho, it's just too bad he was taken after just 2 albums

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

If you have to ask why you'll never understand.

 

[MINT]

he ain't a good lyricist to me

 

[JimmyForgiato]

Just take a listen to "Warning" I don't think other artists was pulling off shyt like that at the time

 

[MINT]

technically, he was pretty good, lyrically, he was mediocre imo

 

[Bugsmoran]

Biggie had a way of spittin simple sh1t in a smart way

 

[NotaPAWG]

why do you still make threads?

 

[KushSkywalker]

his presence delivery and flow, and ability to say shyt that SOUNDS dope was top rank

he wasn't king multi, but he was king everything else about rap

 

[powerpainpleasure]

he's elite coz ...'I suck on your daddy's dyk!!!!' lol

 

[Coherent]

Well, his rhyme schemes are superb, and his flow is impecible, but he isn't the most lyrical. Dude who say he is elite lyrically haven't heard dudes like Canibus, Lupe, Talib Kweli, Skyzoo, or Immortal Technique.

 

[JuvenileHell]

he's nice lyrically, Big's strength lies in his flow and delivery...he's virtually untouchable.

 

[Mr.Black]

because he's dead

 

[b@squ1@t]

he's elite coz ...'I suck on your daddy's dyk!!!!' lol

funniest post of the year

or haven't heard prime kool g rap nas rakim big punisher or prime eminem , prime makaveli.

i mean he had decent inners every decent rappers does and he would like rhyme the same word alot of times imo and he was a monosyllable rapper imo.

I understand OP tbh because I felt the same way, but I've realized why he's great.

His flow is unpredictable because he freestyles and he freestyles with confidence which is rare, especially now. Not to mention his rhymes are witty.
