B.I.G & PAC are icons because they literally couldn't miss, everything they put out was an instant success. Biggie only had 2 albums but his 2 are better than the majority of rappers entire catalog.
would be interesting to see where big or pac would be present times .... They would be snoop / jay z status everyone is like “ na na they would be huge icons “ there talent was amazing but due to them been the heads ov the biggest beefs in hip hop history(deathrow vs badboy / east vs West ) and how they were killed at the height of all that shyt put them at a higher level .....
I understand you nikkaz hate puff & all
what I don’t understand is why you same nikkaz post bullshyt that’s fiction and try to rewrite history
1. biggie didnt take his crew/artist to bad boy cause at the time bad boy only had a budget for two artistes
2. if biggie had such a bad deal then why one of urban music/hip hop mags from back in da day do an article saying the top 3 rap deals(points system) in the game was snoop, raewkon & biggie
3. biggie /cmack was initially signed to uptown records under puffs wing from andre harell thereafter puff got fired and that’s when big went back to the block... till puff made his new deal with clive davis
see this is the type of shyt that makes you and others sound like complete haters because you know this shyt but you choose to post a complete lie or rewrite history for whatever reason or motive
breh - shyts is really shameful
4. *smh* at even posting nonsense of charging to be in his videos & joining deathrow - like you really gonna act like every DR artist left there record label satisfied

You up here defending DIDDY?!?
A man who exploited BIGGIEs wife?!!
And where did you learn Economics from JOB CORP?!!
points on mechanical royalties dont mean shyt if you dont have leverage as far as Recouping!
BIG was in debt.....
As well as all the bad boy artists
Thats been confirmed by thise within the bad boy camp such as GENE DEAL...MARC CURRY and MEECH to name a few...
Hell 112 tried to run away and rather do a deal with LYOR than deal with that devil Diddy...

Biggie was already an icon but be definitely would've became a villain in a lot of hip hop fans eyes. Dude didn't give a damn about rap. He just used it for money and just so happened to be great at it

Sorry, that's another B
How many times is this thread gonna be made man ?
Biggie was ALREADY an icon. He was the King of NY when alive and was already looked at as a rap God and he was at the genesis stage of building an empire outside of BadBoy. Plus if you followed his short career you would see his conscious artistic evolution and you knew his elite talent. Dude was so talented I can see a 45+ year old Biggie coming out of semi retirement (ala Jay) and killing some shyt on a track with a trap or mumble rapper.

Anyone asking this is too fukking young to understand what it was like at the time. You could feel that East Coast vs West Coast tension in the air. And Biggies records were already Big. Was like a movie when Hypnotize came out. Hell yeah he would have been an icon
Huh? My nikka this is facts. That was the #1 criticism about Jay back then. History been very kind to dude cuz he did NOT have the juice at all back then.

Big understood and was taught the basics of popular music songwriting.
Coming up in Fort Greene, which was a large jazz community, he was mentored by the saxophonist Donald Harrison
What separates Nas and Big from most rappers (not emcees) that came after them is their musicality. Nas'
father is a well-respected jazz trumpeter.
Musicality has been missing from rappers for the past two decades.
He learned diction and phrasing from jazz saxophonist Donald Harrison, when Biggie was just a teenager in Brooklyn and still went by the name Chris Wallace.
"The first time I spoke with Chris, the Notorious B.I.G., he was on the stoop," Harrison says. "I was passing by and he just said 'Hello.' We started talking and it grew into a friendship. He was a lot younger, but he wanted to learn about music. And that was magic words to my ears."
Harrison wanted to make his neighbor a jazz musician. He gave him homework, made him learn how to scat a Cannonball Adderley solo and listen to Charlie Parker and Ella Fitzgerald. "We worked on various tonguing and speed and agility," Harrison says. "You have to slow things down really slow and take the time to phrase each note."
I could def see a Birdman/Wayne situation with Puff and Big especially when UN (Lance) was in the picture wit Big planning the Commision shyt
