From making radio hits like Juicy, Hypnotize, Mo Money Mo Problems, One More Chance (R&B remix), and Get Money to dominate the clubs and charts. Then make street records that can compete with any other rapper (mainstream or underground) on a lyrical level like Last Day, Notorious Thugs, Long Kiss Goodnight, Who Shot Ya etc. On top of that the dude was an amazing storyteller. Ready to Die may be the greatest concept album of all time only rivals by his other album Life After Death :ohlawd:. Biggie had everything. Flow, presence, charisma, voice, personality, and lyrical ability. If you ask me, Biggie may have been the perfect rap artist. All this under the age of 25. I can't even imagine what his discography would be like.
Some of yall probably aint gonna read all of this and just throw some :skip: at me, but ask your favorite rapper who's the king of NY :sas1:

Have you ever heard of a guy by the name of Jay z?

Jay is close but he can't make hardcore/gutter songs like Biggie. And don't confuse street songs with gutter songs. Like Jay-Z can make street songs like "Where I'm From", but he can't make a song like "Gimme the Loot".

Biggie don't have a D'evils

He's not the writer Jay is, but my point is Biggie could make a D'evils (wouldn't be as lyrical) and make it dope. If Jay tried to make a Gimme The Loot it would come off wild corny and not believable.

It's close between Jay and Biggie.

Biggie may go more street than Jay, but Jay can go more introspective on some meta-philosophy, thought provoking/artsy material.

If you can sell something like that in mainstream hip-hop/pop, you're in rare category.
