Biggie Was the Perfect Balance That Can Never be Achieved Again

[Max Goonberg]

gimme the loot is wack

ya moms wack

 

[Still Benefited]

Suicidal Thoughts
Things Done Changed
Me and My bytch
Miss U
You're Nobody Till Somebody Kills You
just to name a few. Stop that shyt mayne

You have Suicidal Thoughts even though its a little too comical/corny for a suicide song...The rest are what I gave him credit for already,creative songs about his criminal lifestyle and coke related shyt....reminiscing about the good ol days of selling coke and somebody dies suddenly in the last verse so its supposed to make it substance?These songs give him credit as a storyteller,not a man of substance.

Nothing deep,nothing heavy here.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

and could literally rap about anything

 

[I love Latina women]

i hear you but with biggie you can't leave puffy out the picture
puffy smoothed out those edges and helped biggie crossover in a major way
biggie had the talent but puff, well he had the vision and the 2 worked quite well together

Big was very rounded as far as flow, delivery, storytelling but for the most part, his content was lacking. Dude didn't really talk about anything.

 

[born2bewired]

he's the best all around to ever do it. ready to die had the pain he was dealing with emotionally sprinkled into almost every song. i felt like life after death had a lot of hope for the future in the lighter parts of the album. i feel like he wasn't a very emotional dude and if he lived to make more albums we would've heard a lot more but still rappers can't touch what he did in 2 albums.

yall skim through music too much

Na...I thoroughly listened to Big but his content/subject matter were lacking. I love Ready To Die but LAD, I never felt.

 

[Playa With Tha Passport]

Biggie is the greatest rap talent i ever heard

Too bad he died young

Thinking about this more, Andre 3000 fits into this discussion.

Even has some elements that Biggie didn't, more "artsiness" and safe songs like his material on The Love Below. You can't be really complete without that aspect.

3 Stacks' lyrics weren't as violent as Biggies, but could still get street.

Only time i see 3k praised like this is on the internet

Dude us a weirdo

 

[SirBiatch]

Biggie is such a perfect emcee I barely listen to.

 

[phatphuck]

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.

he would have the personas of a jay z and a camel rapping back and forth

 

[intilectual recipricol]

i think Biggie never had a wack verse.

1/2-2/3 of RTD was wack

 

[Peter Parker]

Perfect rap artist but he would've fell off eventually, they all do

Even the Beatles had Magical Mystery Tour
