I personally always felt like Jay was slightly better than Biggie. Always felt like that.
How can u be better than a guy that you plagiarized???

he woulda tried to drop a fridge on him long before Jada and Styles P threatened to
Nah BIG was a calculated thinker..
He wasnt as emotional as proving how he maintained composure in the public with the PAC beef...
Big would have fulfilled his obligations to Puff and eventually did that venture with Undeas and Atlantic since he had Kim and Jr Mafia and Charlie Bmore already there

He woulda been where jay is today. He already had songs out with r kelly and mj while he was alive and hypnotize was crazy spins too. Same with pac. But pac woulda been more focused on the movie side (cube, ice t, LL) along with political awareness
Dude i know Jay music very well...im in my 40s ..i was listening to Jay when he was with Jaz O who was running with the nuwabians in Bushwick.... some of whom i befriended before i came down south...
Had his first solo hit In my lifetime on a white label press wax 12 inch ...when i collected records ..
So im not a hater...but when it comes to Big he was not greater
Lifelong friendships rarely last in the big apple....i can testify to that
Egos and lack of trust..its a dog eat dog.world
Plus Jay proved that when he said that line AFTER BIG DIED
And if I ain't better than Big, I'm the closest one.
But its typical of a tristate n1gga
Bunch of triple-cross nikkas, just New York nikkas. Lift you off your feet when they was just talkin' with you.
so this is nothing but a hate on nyc nikkaz ???
the fact is, biggie didn't want the spotlight like that - so he wouldn't have mind if jay or any of his peoples blew up
i know this is the conventional thing to say
BUT its really not true
biggie was getting his paper with puff & he understood the game quite well enough, which lead him into taking his lil mans & them from the block to form jr mafia a group of nikkaz that never had any intention to rap
he taught them how to rhyme, he wrote their lyrics, he executive produced their album
the amount of $$$ he made off them - is what you call the art of hustling
shyt was so successful puff wanted the same
biggie was in the mist of doing this for puff debut LP no way out
im a pac stan and even i think this thread is nonsense. He was an icon before he even got killed.

if fake as fukk jigga became an icon you think more charismatic big wouldn't be one? even jay-z own mentor kane said big was better...while both were alive not a soul thought they was in the same class

The answer is yes because biggie was already the man in NYC.
Already impacting the culture.
That & bad boy was only getting bigger.
You can't even speak about bad boy without mentioning biggie.
