Mos Def showed way more potential, ability, and rhyming skills then Bigge based
- Thread starter Capitol
- Start date
Biggie is overrated
it's not really his fault, but he only released one album while he was alive
Then why isn't Big Pun and Big L always on these lists? Pac gave us numerous classics why he was alive and had a pretty damn good career so I'm not mad at anyone putting him on the list at all even if they give him a nod for the potential he had.

This thread is exactly why Biggie will never leave GOAT discussions. Everyone compares their favorite rapper to Biggie, and this happens on message boards all across the net. You know why this is? Biggie is the STANDARD Period. Now being one of Mos Def's Biggest fans, I would agree that he is criminally under-rated as an emcee. "Black Star" is a Classic album, it's time for people to admit it and not just call it a back packer Classic. "Black on Both Sides" is also a Classic album that showed Mos Def to have a great range in rhyming skills. The problem I have with this thread is the attempt to somehow elevate Mos by saying he's better than Biggie. Look, music is subjective, if someone likes Mos better than Big that's their business but the reality is Biggie is considered the superior Emcee. "Ready To Die" is better than anything Mos has ever done.
That's not to disrespect what Mos has done but I haven't met anyone who wasn't taken aback when they 1st heard Biggie rhyme. I don't know if I can say the same for Mos. He's dope but Big bars hit listeners hard, instantly. When I 1st heard "Warning" or "Me and my B!tch", it's like how could you not push the rewind button after you finished "Ready To Die". I feel there are just more Classic songs on "Ready To Die". They were both versatile but I'd say Biggie was also a little more versatile mainly cause of his flow. I don't know if Mos could do an album like "Life After Death" that would require him to come out of his comfort zone and spit on other regions beats or sounds. There no doubt that yes Mos is versatile cause he started to sing but he does for the most part stay in his lane. Big made a habit of going outside of his lane many times including spitting with Bone Thugs. So again Yes Mos is under-rated but Overall the answer is no. Mos did not show more potential than Biggie did when they both dropped cause Biggie is called the greatest rapper ever based on what he did in his limited time. Also after "Black on Both Sides' Mos's solo material fell off quality wise and wasn't as strong as his debut. But I think that more people feel Big had a stronger potential even if he didn't live to fully see it. Also let's look at the fact that Biggie's "Who Shot Ya" beat is actually used by Mos Def on his debut album. In Mos Verse he admitted Biggie was GOAT STATUS and though I love the song "Brooklyn", he did not rip that beat harder than Biggie did. Cased Closed:
"Where one of the greatest emcee's was a Local Kat" - Mos Def (Admitted Biggie was GOAT Status)

The realer you are the more boring you are.
I never hear about Future or Wakka being boring.
How boring can money, cars, women, drugs get? We've been hearing it for years.
I like how you came in here like you had a point as if I didn't just say that. I posted the same song

I did that purposely cause Mos Def the person you are saying showed more potential than Big considers Biggie GOAT Status. Look this myth that NY is the only people that think Biggie is the GOAT is something people try to say to discredit Big. Big gets love all over the world. His rhymes are bitten by every single region including West Coast. Mos Def wouldn't even co-sign your thread. Why not just do a thread and big up Mos? Why bring Biggie into it? You know why, cause like I said, Biggie is the Standard. You could of compared Mos to any rapper, why Biggie? This is my point it's like some fans are upset Big is GOAT status like he didn't drop 2 of the greatest rap albums of all time. Dudes need to let it go. It's 15 years later, there's a reason Big Legend is still growing.
