We gotta do something about the drug problem in America

Nas
Jay
Mos Def

Mos def is better lyrically than Biggie I don’t care what anyone says, Biggies main point is his flow when it comes to lyricists there are a few who can better him.

Is he a better lyricist bar for bar than Pharoah Monch? Does he use more literary devices? Is he a better rapper overall yes.

Wild AF but I'm pretty sure it was Puff's doing. Biggie didn't even wanna do the song.

We can walk and chew gum bruh. Calling it ‘Puff’s doing’ is crazy, as if it was a bad thing. He made that man a star by choosing to use that sample and crafting Big’s persona

(And then took it all back getting him killed, but I’m just talking about that song and the music)

Amougst rego civilians.
Which means anyone not in a pillar of hiphop.




Yet this is hiphop.
Where i know you are not a bboy.
Making this take.
Where culturally in the pillars out west.
Amoung bboys in a pillar out west.
Your takes is not true at all.


Plus after g rap destroyed every darrkhorse group turned solo gangster rapper of lore ever on two to the head.

All this offkey bullshyt you talking was moot as fukk.
Plus that if someone who was not ever in hiphop ever.
As at that point culture thief dlash mecca envy style gangsta rappers were nit respected culturally in hiphop culture at all. after the host fo them souled't out. after originally culturally vying for a place culturally.

Ruthless records runs the world.
Yet in that ruthless records runs the world is based off misappropriation of hiphop culture administratively.

To the point.

We are where we are now.

From the cultural disconnect in the spawn of prison industrial economy.
Where wrongly gangsta rap was used as the marketing for the prison industrial economy. then also compounded in layer in the communications act with rego civilians.

With actual bboys.
we been stopped support of gangsta rap from a ruthless records admin based model.
What you said was cap.

7mile to SE & Uptown!
What really solidified Big's crowning was when he dropped that One More Chance remix in 95. I don't even have to elaborate because if anyone was alive during that time, they know lol
I got to co sign this...I was getting out the navy that summer and was coming off a 6 month med cruise and had not heard US radio in 6 month and when I got back to VA and went up north DC to NY BIG was on FIRE :whoo: then playa's anthem hit and he was out of this world :wow: then Pac got out and we know the rest :mjcry:

No, YOU clearly weren’t around. Biggie had Puffy who single handedly commercialized hip hop. Nas didn’t go that route until Hate Me Now and Big had died long before then.


Nas ALWAYS was the better emcee. He rapped circles around Big.
Slow down, breh.
