It sounds effortless with Biggie like he could do it in his sleep cuz he was that nice. I never got that impression/feeling from Jay.
Biggie Told Me Jay Z Was Nicer Than Him -Lil Cease

Compared to Nas and Pac sure, but not Big.
D'evils isn't even one of 'those' joints but yet in still...thick content, slick varried flows, he's talking a lot of the same tough guy shyt that Big was but you getting different angles weaved in and out of the song.
Now to a fan, Biggie's style hits you immediatly, that's why he blew so quick, very dynamic pressence. But if you rap or study rap like a rapper would (ie. Biggie himself), you're gonna see shyt a little differently. Hence people coming in here like "Cease is lying!"
what?? they actually said that??
Jesus Eminem had that machine running behind his anal!! Got the God and King G rap pandering?
Biggie introspective/retrospective songs - Miss U, Sky's The Limit, Everyday Struggle, Ready to Die, Things Done Changed and Juicy.
Nas' introspective/retrospective - Life's a B*tch, Project Windows, Remember The Times, Nothing Lasts Forever, Poppa Was A Playa, Just A Moment, Book of Rhymes, Dance, Fetus, and Heaven. Patience. Nas has so many. This is Nas' lane.
Every time Jay tries to write an introspective/retrospective song, he comes of course as bland and empty.

Compared to BIG too
Jay always sounds empty on his so called "introspective" and "retrospective" songs, he lacks emotion
He just ain't got it like that
He shines with his club songs though, that's his bread and butter.
Lucky Me
You Must Love Me
Song Cry
This can’t be life
There’s been a murder
Pray
Kill Jay Z
Welcome To the Jungle
Some How Some Way
So Ambitious
Moment of Clarity
Never Change
Lost one
Nickels & Dimes
444
Sweet
Etc…. Are just as good as any of those songs
the gold standard song in this category imo is “so many tears”
Nope
The beat for Lucky Me is so ass. shyt sounds like elevator music
The beat for Never Change is soulful though
This Can't Be Life is probably his best and it's not just because of Jay's verses either. Face had the best verse on that joint and then Beans.
But nope
None of those Jay songs are on the same level as Biggie's and Nas' introspective/retrospective songs.
Pac's "So Many Tears" is a masterpiece. Great songwriting from Pac and epic production from Shock G

One day some of yall will learn there’s more to rapping than just being “lyrical” you have to take the other elements also And make a summery.
Jay ain’t better than biggie at all

Nobody quotes any of them Nas records except his Stan’s
And yet none of those songs are still on the same level as BIG and Nas' introspective and retrospective songs

RTD and LAD combined are better than Reasonable Doubt, vol 1 and vol 2 combined.
I used to believe that Jay was nicer than big, and yes, Jay is more lyrical than big, but Big, overall, is the greatest MC to ever pick up a microphone. Bigs ability to float on any beat, and any flow, and not sound forced or gimmicky, combined with his mic presence, is something we have not seen since. Can’t stop the Rain/Reign and Benjamin’s beat switch are the, imo, two greatest performances in hip hop history. Listening to Big now is just sad because you think about how he would have flowed over certain beats and what kind of slang and shyt he would be spitting now. To me, Big is the GOAT, then Jay.
