Is it me or did Easy Mo Bee give Craig Mack better production than BIG??

[C-Styles]

no lie i was bumpin Craig Mack's debut album and Easy Mo Bee LACED The f*ck out of mack, especially with "Judgement Day"! am i trippin or we're these some top tier beats?? and the biggest stand out on BIG's debut that Mo Bee produced was "Warning" and "Ready to die". But i feel he could've gave these to BIG and would've fit him like a glove

Craig was the flagship artist

The beats carried that album but they fitted Mack better at that time. Big was still finding his groove.

SOMETIMES IT AIN’T BOUT GIVING BUT MORE SO BOUT WHAT THE ARTIST SELECTS

EASY MO BEE MOST LIKELY GAVE BIG TONS OF BEATS TO CHOOSE FROM .. THE ONES WE HEAR ARE THE ONES BIG PICKED (AND/OR WHOEVER ELSE WAS PICKIN EM FOR BIG)

Nothing Mack got from Mo Bee touches "The What", "Machine Gun Funk" and "Warning" as classics.

"Flava In Ya Ear" was the one for Mack, but the other Mo Bee beats he got for the album weren't moving the needle. Mo Bee laced B.I.G. with some iconic sh*t.

nah breh, machine gun funk can be easily replaced with "Judgement day" and "Any friend of mine" could def be replaced with "When God Comes"

Just different styles. Craig Mack picked bouncier beats while Biggie picked grimier stuff. Also most of those Craig Mack ones kinda sound like variations of Flava In Ya Ear lmao

in a sense though, that was Easy Mo Bee's sound. You can say the same thing for Tupac's "Temptations" and Lost Boyz "Lifestyles of the rich and shameless"

Easy Mo Bee is cold wit it. He would have continued lacing bad boy artist if it wasn't for Puff trying to finesse him for production credits. When Easy Mo Bee told Puff not to do that again, Puff essentially started black balling him from working with bad boy artist. Fortunately he still was able to give Big "Going Back To Cali", not the typical Easy Mo sound we heard before. shyts FIRE.

His album was first so he got the best beats up front

he also laced BIG with "I love the dough" but yeah like you said it wasn't really the Mo Bee sound and it sounded a lot cleaner but i also believe because puff discovered what Dre was doing on getting that CLEAN MIX sound and had "Life after Death" sound levels above Ready to Die as far as mixing goes. Also i'm guessing cuz the sound was evolving rapidly and Easy Mo Bee was keeping up with the times when given the opportunity to work with BIG again.

I don't hear it.

Nobody is listening to those Craig tracks though.

The best sh*t on his album were the singles. And the "Get Down" remix that Q-Tip did. "Machine Gun Funk", "The What" and "Warning" are iconic B.I.G. tracks that everyone loves. Mo Bee blessed both of them, but Mack didn't have the impact with those records.

I've always said that you can have the GREATEST BEAT in the world but if you don't provide any VALUE in your bars, it won't make an IMPACT. The reason why BIG's songs are iconic wasn't really cuz of the beat on "Machine gun funk", "The what" and especially "The warning" (though the warning had a TREMENDOUS BEAT in my opinion), it was cuz of what BIG did with it and had VALUE in his bars. He was talking about something where as Craig no so much. But back to my point, give BIG those beats and people would be talking about how Mo Bee's production fit BIG like Premier does to Nas.
