The Source names Biggie The GOAT

[MIAMI4LIFE]

in the 10th anniversary of Biggie's Death issue named BIG as the GOAT, what y'all think

[wcsoldier]

Well old news, there aleady have a lot of discussions about this but hell naw , there are at least 5 MCS better than Biggie.. he's the most overrated of all time (Pac is too but way less).. The Source is a NY magazine so of course they gave it to him

[Digital Pimpin']

The reason BIG gets so much love is because his career got cut short and a lot of the material he recorded was dope (as with nearly every rapper's first few years of recording). Basically, he didn't have time to fall off.

Same with Bruce Lee - if he lived a few more years, made a few turkeys and got fat, he wouldn't be revered like he is now.

Conversely, if Michael Jackson had been gunned down after the Dangerous album came out he would have pissed on Prince and Elvis in the pop GOAT stakes.

I am the worlds biggest BIG fan, but I never thought of it that way. Excellent point.

2pac>>>>>>>>>biggie

[everlast1986]

hes not the greatest but he was already better than 2Pac

[Mac 10 †]

It's too bad they're wrong.

Biggie woz dope, but the argument over who is the GOAT will go on forever, every1 has their own opinion on the GOAT.

Pac >>>>>>>>> Big

Simply cos Pac's music was deeper, had more passion and he had a bigger impact, sure BIG is a better MC but Pac has to be the GOAT after you consider his impact, legacy, passion, depth etc.....

Both are overrated sure, but i feel that Jay-Z is the most overatted of all time, and that the GOAT list should go:

1. Pac
2. Nas
3. Prodigy (In his PRIME) 
4. Big
5. Rakim/ Big L (Died Too Soon)/ Jay-Z (Only because of his ability to stay on top of the game)

This is simply my personal Opinion...

[KURUPTION-81]

Big was a great rhymer, he could put words together better than most BUT he aint the goat to me because his songs dont have enough substance to them in terms of topic matter.

[Sanford - V. President of the Dangerous Crew Movement]

there is atleast 5 people from the East Coast thats better than him.

LOL at the Source.   

[The Kryptonian]

he was good even great but he cant touch Rakim in my book.

[Teddy Roosevelt]

Nas>>>Biggie
