ICE CUBE vs BIGGIE

[OG Hack Wilson]

 

[West Coast Veteran]

Overall Ice Cube is better.

Discography? Cube got 2 undeniable classics (AMW and DC), 2 arguable classics (Predator and Lethal Injection), 2 group classics (Straight Outta Compton and Bow Down) and a classic EP (Kill At Will)

Skills? Biggie takes it but not by far.

Impact? Cube wrote Straight Outta Compton. Nuff Said. Changed the game forever.

[GangstaBoogy]

Cube - G.O.A.T.

Love Biggie but you can't compare anyone to the Don Dadda.

[Chamillitary Click]

Cube easy.

[OG Hack Wilson]

too bad they never did a track together...Big didn't work with many west coast cats - outside of Pac (who was runnin with Stretch and Majesty in NYC at the time)

And Big's written his share of classics as well. It's kind of an uneven debate. Cube not only started more than 6 years before Big but he's had a full career since. Big died about three years after his first album hit the shelves. For the time that Big had, he influenced a lot of cats and really earned himself a legacy. It would be like if Cube was gunned down right after he finished recording "Death Certificate".

It's kind of a weird comparison anyway. I'd go with something like Cube vs. Face since they both started out in a group and have both been in the game for over two decades. Biggie versus Cube just seems like an odd match-up to me. Their styles aren't similar enough to where it makes sense to compare them. The decision seems like it would almost always have to be based on whose style you dug more. It's kind of like an Eminem vs. Tupac comparison, the votes are gonna pull away from skill and turn into "well, this guy wrote this and this guy makes music about pointless shit so he's stupid".

good points.. who knows what biggie would of done..

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

Biggie had more lyrical skills and a crazy flow. Cube was more political and more influential. Both had at least two classic albums (Cube maybe three). Depends what you prefer.

How does Em imitate Pac? They have completely different styles. So whoever comes first is the originator? If that's the case then Pac is just a ripoff of Cube.

[THEV1LL4N]

well said, because em does not copy pac, in fact he is influenced by pac.  but then again, he's influenced by many others such as redman, wu-tang, outkast, biggie etc...

[Okka]

Both are dope MC's and legends, but i'll go with Ice Cube, simply for the fact that he's one of my favourite MC's ever.
