Jadakiss: Jay-Z has surpassed Biggie

[head shots101]

nikka said Lupe lol

 

[Ellen Degeneres]

Jay always was the sideshow to BIG. Never matched the star power, charisma and the momentum. The world gravitated to BIG, whereas Jay forced his way to the spotlight through many years of plays and tactics. Harsh truth. That's why he got caught off guard by Nas too, because the substance was significantly less than the package. Doesn't mean Jay is not skilled, but there was never a comparison.

 

[seemorecizzy]

Lyrically, Lupe better than all 3 of them.

no he isn't

 

[seemorecizzy]

no one in 1995 1996 and 1997 thought jay-z was better than biggie. Seriously, not one person on earth and Jay was at his best those days.

This is like saying emmit Smith is better than Barry Sanders lol

 

[Knicksman20]

What did he study from Biggie? Biggie only had one album while living that sound like nothing Jay Z ever did before or after

Come on bro do we really wanna go there lol. How many verses from Big did Jay "pay homage" to throughout his career & run?

Some of his best songs have lines taken from Big. And I just wanna emphasize, this isn't taking anything away from Jay & what he's accomplished

If jay z didnt decide to show love to Biggie. Biggie legacy would look a whole lot different

Career strategy…


Treat everything like it’s your first project..


Jay did that each year

Huh

Wtf is this generic bullshyt

Jay first album was supposed to be his last while Big was alive

U must have not have heard the little snippet on “My 1st Song”

 

[ManBearPig]

Jay still hasn’t made a song as hard as this in my opinion. Plus you have Havoc on the beat.

I've heard better Jay-z songs than this

 

[Cladyclad]

If anything then that would be Puff strategy not Bigs

 

[newarkhiphop]

In 96 he passed him

Big even knew that

This

Lyrically, Lupe better than all 3 of them.

In order to be the best lyricist, your lyrics actually have to be entertaining.....for whatever reason, Lupe stans don't understand this concept.

 

[mundL]

whats left for Jay to do

he bodied Jay Elec on his own album in a way that no one wouldve imagined was possible

Actually... Now I want new Jay-Z music

Biggie the person and artist was in another league. Almost all of Ready to Die is instantly recognizable and quotable. His voice and flow were only his. Jay carefully calculated his image and style based on what was hot at the time. This is not just about rhymes. Biggie was too original and magnetic to be even compared to Jay.
