Title: IS BIGGIE REALLY THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME?
Post by: hotboyee on March 16, 2009, 10:34:34 PM
I aint tryin to hate on no rappers period and Biggie is one my favorite rappers. But i did feel that when they advertised the movie and they was saying he was the greatest rapper of all time, it was a slap in the face to a lot of great rappers including PAC, Slick Rick, Rakim, Ice Cube and the list goes on.

Me personally, i feel that who ever the greatest rapper of all time is depends on the ears of the listener. So wouldn't it have been better for them to say Biggie was one of the greatest rappers of all time? What yall think?

If Not who would you pick?

They're selling a movie. If he's good enough to where that title can be accepted. People might disagree but if he's good enough to be considered 1 of the greatest then they can say that. If they said it about Pac, it would be the same thing. If they said about Lil Wayne or Kanye? No. Everyone is going to have a different opinion based on something but Big could spit. He made some classic records. Obviously on a West Coast forum, cats are gonna be a little biased but if you have the intelligence to look at the situation objectively, Big really was that fucking good.

Yeah its all opinion based. I mean I love listening to Nas and he has always been my favorite rapper but over the last week I have listened to Jay-Z none stop and I now have my opinion that Jigga is the greatest rapper of all time. Its about opinions.

Na, he's not the greatest of all time and this is coming from someone who loved BIG's music. However, I think people got caught up in extreme hype back in '97, then he was killed and they never let go.

The reason why I don't feel that BIG is the GOAT is because I don't feel that all his music is timeless. He's got classics. However, to a brand new fan of Hip Hop, his music would sound very dated.

anyone rapper who dies young and in their prime is going to be overated. he only had 2 classic albums (both contained a lot of fillers) and his popularity soared after we was killed (like 2pac). the fact that Big L is considered one of the greatest by some is proof at how delusional and biased people can become when a rapper dies. biggie was among the most talented rappers ever, but that alone doesnt make you the greatest

word. He's on almost everyone's top 10 list and considered one of the greats. It's a movie. Calling him the greatest rapper of all time sounds better than calling him one of the greatest.

But you're getting other elements like work ethic and such in the way of the bigger picture. Big was raw. Period. And the guy had two albums, one of them was a double album. And that album covered a lot of ground. He had tracks where he was telling stories, he had his pimping song with Too Short, he did a track about L.A., he broke the beef game down, he broke the coke game down, he did a tribute song, his dysfunctional relationship track with Kim, he even got a song where he keeping up with Bone Thugs on the same track. That's the one area you can't even front on him. His flow was bonkers. In terms of written content, Pac was a better writer but when it came to rhyming and flow type of shit, Big had him. The same way Pac was tops at writing deep, heartfelt lyrics, Big was a monster with the punchlines and flow. And the average rapper doesn't make 50 songs in three months.

I don't think there is only one G.O.A.T, it's too hard to pick.

But the fact that people consider BIG to be one of the best even though he has only 2 completed albums makes him one of the greatest.

He's up there with Nas,Pac,Cube, Rakim, Jay-Z, KRS, BDK, EPMD, Run DMC & Scarface  & all those names. I know he's in my top list so I don't care what people think, to me he's one of the greatest.
