Biggie Smalls

[That_Cracka_J]

I can't stand his shit.  Personally, I think he is VERY over-rated.

biggie is the best lyricist, he was better than tupac.. in my books, hes number one.. i have no favorite line from him, all his lines were tite

no doubt, biggie smalls was the illest

my favorite songs are niggaz bleed, whats beef, juicy, machine gun funk, the what, kick in the door, got a story
and so on and so on.....every big song was the shit

[PLANT]

i got no fave line...but biggie was deffenetlly a phenomenon there aren"t much rappers like him, no one could tell a story like biggie did, no one could bring that typa between-lines energy biggie created from the expectation the listener had to catch what happens next, no one else had that amazing deep voice and flow pushing his lyrics straight into the sub consience and brain...BIG was amazing, he would run shit today if he was alive, no doubt.

damn u on point w/ that there

Biggie Smalls was the illest! i know most peeps on this board know that i like snoop he is my fav rapper of all time but i know that he ain't touchin biggie smalls on tha mic. Neither was pac. Pac had nothin on biggie IMO.

Truly biggie was and will always be the GOAT. R.I.P.

Biggie Smalls is the illest... take any line from the song "Dead Wrong" and you'll notice his immense lyrical talent.

R.I.P. Biggie Smalls
G.O.A.T.

And he had all the bitches crawlin' at his feet!

Peace1!

[Trauma-san]

His best line of all time was

"F*ck the State Pen, F*ck Ho's at Penn State"

[The Big Bad Ass]

^^ Hahahaha, NO DOUBT. I agree. First time I heard him say that I just laughed my ass off.

B.I.G. is one of the greats without a doubt. Having such a HUGE impact on hip hop within a three year career is amazing. The best storyteller IMO and had one of the sickest flows ever. He made the best party/commercial songs because he had top notch production and he incorporated lyricism into a commercial song which was hard to do. When I first bought Ready To Die I wasn't really impressed because I wasn't feelin' most of the production since I was still riding the G-Funk wave. After my tastes got broader I recognized how great the album is but Life After Death wasn't that great IMO.

That's sarcastic, I gather Biggie Smalls was never one of your favorite rappers.

word,  he is definitly in tha top 10 of all-time but i dont see how u can call some1 tha GOAT wit only one definite classic an one near classic.

well...under certain sircumstances you can, i alway claim the term "classic" is a very blured and unclear defenition, it ain't like everythang that is classic is same quallity, although it is extremelly solid, one might be better, "ready to die" was un believeable, the way BIG pianted pictures, flowed, and put the listener into his own head- as if the listener was in the story himself....i dunno may be it's just me, but that album reaches beyond words, to describe, I felt it so much...it was basiclly like watching a movie or somethin....imo BIG can be  considered straight up in the top3 only thanx to that album,
it's consistancy was amazing. RA was said to be the g.o.a.t after "paid in full", NAS was claimed to be one of the G.O.A.Ts after ILLmatic...  imo BIG cant be overrated- he reached beyond Rap...he was like a walking cinema or somethin...lol

^^^Word!! I used to feel that Biggie was overrated when he was battlin wit Pac and they beef was all that was talked bout in hop-hop but now that I have sit and listened to Biggie's shit I can see how cats can rate him in tha top 3 of all time!! I dont know bout tha GOAT, but at least he deserves top 3, he could just paint u a picture like no otha! It is a shame that he passed, and we didnt get to hear more shit from him cuz who knows what he would have done in tha game if he was still here!
