Notorious B.I.G.- Should he be in peoples top 5 lists?

[4:21 The Day After]

...or because of his tragic death, did he not accomplish enough to warrant that ranking?

 

[mr. smoke weed]

no

 

[Billy Ocean]

Yes. If there were no Nas, I would say he was the best ever. A lyrical legend. Godly MC skills.

 

[jking23258]

He only had 2 albums I don't see how he is top 5

 

[Asdfhhklpiyrewss]

Biggie accomplished in 3 years what some rappers haven't been able to do in 10 +

 

[Nick Barnes]

He's my number one actually.

 

[Busby]

After 2 albums?

 

[Change]

He only had 2 albums I don't see how he is top 5

Because he had more classic songs/verses/ than rappers with ten albums.

Plus if you only have two albums worth of BIG your collection is lacking. He has multiple albums worth of material as guest spots/unreleased/pre ready to die/Junior Mafia related era.

True He did have mad hits its still hard to put him in there

Biggie = 50 cent 03/05

Just saying. Another thing is his clone (jay-z) has allready surpassed him, so how he top 5.

You're not saying much.

 

[Canada Goose]

Hes number 3 in my top five, behind Nas and Pac

Life after Death is a classic and Ready to Die is a dope album

Plus dope features with Jay, 112 and Total

Plus Juicy and Victory are arguably the greatest Hip Hop songs ever

Classic diss tracks (Kick in the Door and Long Kiss Goodnight)

Classic female tracks (One more chance)

Classic club tracks (Hypnotize)

A top 40 hit (More money Mo Problems)

Seems like top 5 five material to me

 

[Lewis Black]

You're not saying much.

It's my opinion . His death and beef with the GOAT made him seem bigger then he was imo.

 

[LandryFieldsDad]

Excluding discography...sure

 

[ManBearPig]

top 5 or damn close.

his music speaks for itself but i dont listen to him much anymore because i heard his shyt way too much.
