I don't know how/why Biggie is mentioned with Nas and Jay-z in 2021. No disrespect to Big of course, Big was super nice...but Nas and Jay-z are 25+ year career, Mount Rushmore icons, it doesn't make sense to put Biggie in their league. In 1994 -1997 it made sense. If Biggie wasn't taken from us after only a 2 and a half year career then maybe...but now we're speaking hypotheticals. I got Nas >>> Jay-z >>> Biggie...but if you have Jay-z over Nas I aint trippin.
The "who had the best debut" debate is good tho, I got Illmatic >>> RTD >>> RD... I like RD more than RTD but RTD is a better project.
LAD was better than RTD and RD, imo.
