He makes a very good point, DMX wasn’t the most lyrical. But he was relatable as hell, and people don’t talk about him as much as they should, he was like one of the few rappers that could actually go to any hood and be good. And if we talking about music, He was the first living artist to have two number one albums in the same year. On top of having five straight albums debut at number one , hell he was the first artist to have five straight albums debut at number one. DMX was that guy.

Pac died young but worked so hard in many things.He had a lot to say on many different subjects not just street subject's. That's why he moved so many people.
Pac will probably be even more appreciated in another 50 years or so. The Makaveli album for example is still one of the most brutally honest, raw and deepest albums you ever hear an artist release who actually lived pretty much everything he was rapping about. Not telling fables.
I've always called DMX the Metallica of rap. He came into the game at a time when flashy bullshit and commercialism was everywhere, and he just tore all that shit down. He reminded the entire community what rap is about and where the true voice of the music comes from. Struggle. He was absolutely bigger than Biggie and more so than that, he was far more IMPORTANT to the game, especially in NY, than Biggie was. And thats not Bigs fault. He was gunned down not even in his prime, but just beginning the ascent. That being said though, the way people reacted to DMX when he blew, it really was the closest thing to the second coming of Pac. He filled that void we all had because everyone could tell how real his pain was.
What Big really helped usher in that next wave of that New York raw slick witty street shit the West had it on lock BIG was the most important east coast Artist of the 90s
Facts! Pac realized in time that you can't reach a greatest audience with that New York 'technical/vocabulary' shit. Rather, rap from the heart. Similar to what Scarface does
DMX was very lyrical. He wasnt the most technical but he was technical. DMX had the profound quality (his bars had a certsin depth and were worded in a way that only he would have thought to put them being the person that he was, he had a very specific perspective which makes for a grest artist). He also had some dope wordplay which helped him get off some slick bars when he wsnted to. Theres many ways to be lyrical and many qualities that can be counted as technical. Different artist have different qualities, some more or less thsn others. No different than any other artistic medium or being a good writer.
DMX had hyper energy.. Bars average.. Pulled alot from 2Pac.. him & Ja Rule both.. But his rah' rah' energy & that gutter/grimy/ghetto swag is what X had..
@steveg5074 I think that's why a lot of his songs were mediocre and even more were less than subpar because he wrote so fast. And king of truth, STOP IT. The whole Biggie situation was a lie but he knew it'll sale records.
@@ijumpjudy Dmx was a crackhead like you nothing is more superior then your gay crush for a dead man 🤣 never seen such a fan girl on a dead mans nuts 🤣
Well its really hard to gage since biggie died so early in his career. But X was an absolute monster and single handedly changed the game...and dropped first week #1 albums up to grand champ
It’s not hard to gauge. Biggie died too young, which is Gipp’s point regarding Ice Cube too. He’s being objective based on a multitude of things such as concerts, multiple albums, record sales, movies, etc. The subjectivity comes from Hip Hop immortalizing Biggie & Tupac bc of they died so young and were polarizing to the industry for several reasons. However, with Biggie specifically, his stats are too low bc he died young.
@@suava375don't see it with the cube argument, since essentially between Biggie solo, ghostwriting JM album, Diddy gw, features etc. He had material for 4.5 albums. Cube's regressed in his career considerably
@@thecunninlynguist I agree with Gipp’s argument supporting Ice Cube was a better storyteller than Biggie. Sure, Biggie wrote some bangers but it just doesn’t compare to the impact Ice Cube had for a whole coast that changed the landscape of Hip Hop and how music was consumed worldwide with NWA just to start.
2pac was in his feelings. Remember 2pac was the same guy smiling when biggie was free styling next to him. I like Pac music more than biggie but biggie was a high skill rapper.
Until time traveling becomes possible... Value what you got in the living. Biggie & Pac -- Both had *_ASTRONOMICAL_* potential, but because of what happened... It's unseen; undetermined. It never happened. What they left behind, is how far they got in the race of life.
Pac taught you how to think, fight back, and struggle to make it in this cold world while Big taught you how to hustle, sell drugs, party and bull chit. The lyrics speaks for themselves. 2Pac was the best of them all imo.
Rap fans speak on pac and biggie like sports fans speak on Russell and Chamberlain. They were something new in a new era..pioneers and we appreciate them but skill wise, they weren't the best. People stay away from Cube because he would eat them alive in a diss. For some reason people envy greatness but I bet nobody was crazy enough to go up against him. Too hard, truth teller, lyrical genius. And unlike Jay z and biggie, cube and pac didn't need historical beats to push their hits.

Tupac you feel his heart his emotions and his experiences more than anyone else in Hip Hop. He was always very relatable, a leader and a revolutionary. And it’s why he’s still talked about heavily regarding his music and who he was as a human being til this day and for years to come. He was a powerful human being and you don’t see too many of those everyday that’s for sure! RIP Pac!!! And we hope you get justice for ALL of those who are responsible for your death.
@@HEYSERG That’s true. We also have an internal issue with each other. We would literally kill each other over who is better or who is tougher. It really doesn’t matter. It came from us. Let’s enjoy that. But we won’t never look at it like that.
Because we got crab mentalities. You never hear GOAT comparisons for anything except lanes that we in. You never hear Gretzky vs Crosby but we forced to hear Jordan vs Bron and bums like Gipp keep the foolishness perpetuating.
The industry is creating the next big thing. Reggaeton will eventually replace Hip Hop. Bigger international appeal, don't have to understand it, brings all the sexy ladies to the floor singing some dirty nasty lyrics. The level of depravity and debauchery in the world continues to spread as each generation grows further and further away from their traditions, foundations, beliefs, and cultures.

@@CWillGetWitCha_973Facts, his 2nd album only went diamond cause of Clive Davis “influences” and Life After Death weak subliminal disses and lame songs.
Tupac was definitely more influential u FELT his lyrics and that’s not to take anything from Biggie bcuz he was a great lyricist.. they both had their OWN identity though and that’s why they BOTH were two of the biggest figures in hip hop across the world still to this day..
Biggie said “birthdays was the worse days now we sip champagne when we thirsty, damn right I like the life I live because I went from negative to positive and it’s all good!” Any hip hop fans know this line, people still say it with passion till this day. Stop the biggie hate plates. Y’all up here believing y’all own lies
Eminem is is only relatable to white boys outside of that his raps are stupid, he's overrated and he raps about nothing special outside of dumb White Boy shit like hating his moms foh. 😂
Biggie was on his way to be a superstar. X was a certified superstar. Biggie was big, he had hits. He had NY. He had the other areas in America. But it wasn’t like X. If Big didn’t get shot. I think we would be talking different though for sure. Sky Is The a limit “ was special
According to him, the best rappers are determined by who has the biggest marketing dollars to reach more people not who's better at actually rapping. OK got it.
What's real, is that when Big Gipp rap he sounds like East Coast. He talk southern as hell, but hip-hop is art, it's interpretation is the eye of the beholder. Too many flavors to like out there, and it depends where you from. I agree that it's not all about lyrics, but as long as it's understandable and vibe-able then we good
I always look at Rap like I do sports. Specifically Football...When comparing Tupac and Biggie...Sure Tupac didn't have a sophisticated flow and rhyme scheme, but he made up for it with his passion and writing ability (Poetry). Biggie is the type of dude to run around a wall & Tupacs style is running through the wall. Who is better Barry Sanders or Emmit? Who is better Earl Campbell? Walter Payton? Barry? Or Emmit...All great but had their own running styles. Just because Barry chose to elude tacklers and Emmit and the other may have chosen to run through tacklers doesn't make their playing style any less effective.
@@davidmolina9166 Emmit is the GOAT! Emmitt took Payton's style and done better plus played tougher competition, played better in bigger games and has more alcolades
I learned more from ras kass canibus and mos def than alot of rappers but im still playing Biggies albums over theirs. Biggie more lyrical than Pac but Pac the most influential//important rapper ever. All Gip cares about is if you're alive and perfoming still. But doesnt name ll cool j.

Yeah the content is starting to get old .. We now need some ODB and DMX crazy stories but I guess they want to focus on glorifying Tupac as if he was the only one with crazy funny interesting stories...
Eminem, Ja Rule, and DMX all took lanes pac occupied that were left open after his death. Eminem took over the me against the world, fuck everybody, only god can judge me lane. Ja Rule took over the hood nigga passionate thug lane. And DMX took over the aggressive street philosopher lane. That’s how dope Pac was. You needed 3 huge acts to occupy the space he left open in the game.
@@princejustin5465 dmx filled the “so many tears” lane with songs like “slipping”. dmx is his own artist, but to act like dmx didn’t fit into that lane which became empty is wrong.
You and this dude Gipp are on a roll. Its all about opinions. If someone likes rappers that flip big words on every verse, then to them that rapper is better than simplistic rappers. If someone likes coke/lavish lifestyle raps over political then people gonna listen to Biggie over Chuck D. Some people are multifaceted and enjoy both. If I never really listened to Tupac but can rap Reasonable Doubt backwards, which rapper is better to me? Y'all still stuck on what Yayo was saying. Dude entitled to his opinion, only thing that he did wrong in my eyes was to act like its impossible for Cube to be better than B.I.G. Sooner or later you should ask Gipp where does he stack up against Biggie or Jay-Z any of the rappers he be talking about...lol..
@@sinceremarks8529 Gipp knows he nowhere near B.I.G when it comes to this rap shyt, that's why he keep comparing other rappers to B.I.G and JAY. Them dudes NBA, Gipp police athletic league
I always believed that argument about who's music reaches the most people or who sells more records? But when you think about it, all of those numbers can be inflated by the labels dumping a bunch of money behind promo and radio spins. How many times have you seen artists that have not zero talent blow up to be successful? Not even just in hip hop genre, look at Britney Spears for example.
Dude hates New york, if you can’t see his bias then you’re choosing to be blind. No one in New York is good enough apparently. He keeps shifting the goalposts for each comparison. When DJ Efn and Yayo were debating Biggie VS Ice Cube, it was from a lyrical point. You even hear Yayo recite Boggie’s lyrics to prove it’s from a lyrical point. You can’t argue impact VS Lyricism.
Exactly it’s crazy how openly biased these Niggas are in the comments. Talking crazy about NY and NY rappers the minute we say any citicism of the South it’s like we committed a war crime
@@jetla22 Yea that shit was like 25-30 years ago. And I’m not gonna deny that we can be disrespectful but did anyone ever look at things from our perspective? This was our thing and we set certain rules and standards then all of a sudden we seen outside people doing our thing, without asking us, completely disregarding the traditions and standards we set forth. The fact that the South doesn’t value lyricism overall, not everyone from the South but generally speaking is what I’m talking about. This is our shit and we said lyrics and bars matter above all else and they come through not giving af about that, while doing our thing how tf would you feel?
Thank you, this is EXACTLY what i was thinking. Respect Big Gipp, but by his logic Mc Hammer & Vanilla Ice are some of the best rappers cause they sold a shit load of records.
no that’s not what he saying MC HAMMER had a hot moment as BIG had a hot moment , thanks for making his point…Hammer and Big was missing the catalog after that hot moment
Pac over biggie all day Way more albums Way more classics Was who he rapped about Way more talented Revolutionary Better song writer Could rap and act A trendsetter Will only ever be one pac.
Pac and BIG have the same number of classics. Pac had 2 and BIG had 2. Pac was a mediocre lyricist and didn't get mainstream attention until the rape case and he got shot at Quad. Pac is the biggest studio gangster ever equal to 6ix9ine. Without controversy nobody would be talking about Pac and that is a straight fact.
@@fakethuglife Man shut the fuck Pac shot two pigs AND beat the charge kiddo. Pac LIVED the shit he rapped about everyone else just rapped about it including Big.
@fakethuglife If not for PAC, no one will be talking about BIG, the only time BIG is talked about is when PAC is being talked about. BIG was lyrical, but that's it. PAC was versatile, had the best voice and people could connect and relate to his music. No matter what you are going through, there's a PAC song to listen to that helps you get through it. What was BIG talking about in his songs? The only reason BIG was known internationally was because of his beef with PAC.
Life After Death might be the greatest rap album of all time. An actual vivid screenplay, like Big said rap Alfred Hitchcock. The entire album is like a Martin Scorcese film.
@Lilheathcliff he was 1/4 of the group Goodie Mob that had they're "sold food" album go gold in the days of no streaming. They're well respected amongst their peers, Jit
Yeah Cube still pushing and performing because he’s .. well.. alive. Biggie died so it’s unfair to use that argument to disqualify him from being in the same caliber as Cube
DMX was the closest thing to PAC despite his disdain for the comparison and their obvious stylistic differences. But both were raw and real with highly emotionally charged music. They looked similar but were worlds apart in many ways. Like 2 sides of the same coin.
FACTS. I was there in 98, DMX was everywhere just like BIG was a couple years earlier. Every car radio, every rap station, you could hear the Dog barking. RIP X
@@respectlife216after he said in this interview the closes person to pac is Eminem, I turned it of. a lot of you people are hating on biggie. Biggie is technical the best rapper in terms of rapping . Even tho I think Nas is greatest. If you don’t get it. It is because you are musically blind. Biggie has more components than every other rapper. A lot of rappers are good at two things components biggie is good in every way. Flow. Cadences. Rhythm , rhyming schemes. Story telling . Hit songs. Girl songs. You name it. His good at what one each top levels other rapper will be great at. Big poppa. Skys the limit. Everyday struggle. Kick in the door. I got a story to tell, get money.,All the R&B shit he did. look at the influence of 2 albums. Just 2. Stop the bias talk
Ppl really do hate BIG and that is soo fucked up. Just hate hate hate and hate nothing else. But big is GREAT period! He made 2 albums and is still being talked about. That is greatness right there. I realized to a lot of ppl it is cool to like Tupac more just to tap into his fanbase🤷🏽♂️ everyone is scared of Pacs crazy fans😅
Naw gipp. Big brought NY back when Snoop and NWA was running rap music. I lived that generation and when big came out his sound was like a tidal 🌊. His double lp was was a monster and its diamond. Jay naz wu Tang non of them voice was like here. Tu pac and big weee the kings in that era
Biggie wasnt just technical he was the whole package. Cube a legend but biggie hits get more burn. With Cube it doesnt go far past Today was a good day
See shit like this Shows How people Respect ice Cube because he's a legend but didn't really listen to Cube. Because if you really listen to Cube He would be in your Top 5. Today was a good day is Cube's lightest Song. Cube didn't do Radio Singles are songs for the mainstream. That's why cube's Music Hits Harder then Biggie's Subject Wise and Storytelling wise. Biggie is the better lyricist & WordSmith than Cube but that's it. To say All cube has to offer is "Today was a Good Day" Shows you haven't listened to Amerikkka's most wanted, Kill at Will, Death certificate, The Predator or Lethal injection. Go listen to those Albums and reanalyze what you are saying. Hell Cube's Song "Alive on Arrival" on his Death certificate Album kills that Who's the better Storytelling debate.
It’s not ridiculous to say Big is better than Cube. Anybody can have a lot of material but how much of it is classic. After the early 90s, Cube started to decline. Straight Outta Compton sounds dated too. Biggie is arguably better than Cube. It’s quality over quantity. Also, I agree with Art & Gipp when they say they value substance over technical ability.
@@davidthomas7912Hell, to this day I've tried, but I just cannot listen to "Ready to Die" all the way thru w/ out skipping songs 🙄It's just not hittin' and the best song besides the hot singles is "The What" w/ Method Man. The dry ass beats, the pointless and unfunny sexual skits were not needed.🤢 It's the one of the most overrated albums in Hip Hop. "Get Rich or Die Trying" is a close 2nd w/ being overrated. Gr8 beats? Hell yea... but 50 is not lyrical and raps about the same shit.
Again i'm going to remind everyone. Gipp is Biggies peer, meaning they were both in the rap game around the same time. He will NEVER say that biggie was the biggesst impact because he was also peers with DMX, PAC and JAY-Z.. He's not coming from a perspective as a fan y'all which makes his points more valid if he's telling you that DMX was bigger than Biggie. HE WAS THERE!! All in the mix.
Blasphemy! Biggies peer? Gtfoh, he couldn't hold Big's mic case. He didn't know Big, and as a rapper is like Big was nba mvp and Gipp was on the practice squad in the d-league. Na he wasn't Big peer. Big was an emcee. This dude was not. He was trash
This is a disaster saying the closest to Pac is Em! Pac was the leader of the new black panthers chapter shot two police acted in legendary movies before the end of his SHORT FIVE YEAR career as a rap !!! Knock it off !!! Eminem was regularly getting beat up & rescued by Tha Outsidaz ! Ppl don’t wanna interview Tha Outsidaz from Newark they said D12 would watch Em get whooped ! Pac friends ain’t watch him get whooped !
He aint lying cuz I was watching a documentary about immigrants going from Africa to Europe and in one scene, there was Tupac playing in the background in Mali. Crazy how influential Pac was, is and will forever be.
Yeah he’s buggin. He’s talking who’s music reaches more people when Biggie’s “Life After Death” is still in the top five selling rap albums of all time. Yes, X has more albums but it’s quality over quantity. All you gotta say is “It was all a dream!”…and the entire world will respond “I used to read word up magazine!”
I’m mad ain’t no one from New York calling this lame out but that’s New York problem, they never stuck together and always beefing with each other unlike the south and that’s y the south took hip hop over
Y'all think if Pac was doing that 'tecnical/ vocabulary' new york shit he would have had songs like Dear Mama, Changes, Hold ya head? I will take a heartfelt rap over wordplay anyday anytime
The Fact is NYC dudes are biased as hell. I'm from Buffalo, and we know these things. We used to say Beans was better than Jay-Z. Beans was the more simple Rapper of the two. But every time they did a collaboration, Beans had the better verse. Beans said just Gutter shit and was out rapping Jadakiss, too. So the notion that you have rhyme Megatron with Megaladon only exists amongst nerds and NYC dudes.
We don’t give af who y’all respect in NY y’all words don’t hold weight down south. From Texas to Virginas to Florida and the rest of the southern states we run the game Fuck New York.
Seems like y’all don’t love 2pac it’s like y’all hate wen people bring 2pac up pac was jus dat gud but he was gud rapper but pac was better I learned more from pac
In Nigeria the only time Biggie is brought up is alongside Tupac. We know Tupac's music but hardly anyone knows BIG. As far as Nigerians arw concerned BIG is not even in the conversation. I was shocked to see the comparisons in the US because outside your shores, BIG doesn’t hold a candle.
That's a lie. Biggie well known across Africa, yes we love PAC more but it doesn't mean we don't listen to Biggie. Even Nigerian rappers have Biggie in their top 5
2pac made better songs n hits then biggie I live in Houston tx are the real ones out here still jam on 2pac nobody here don't listen to biggie 2pac was a real rapper
Without 2pac Biggie probably would still be alive and release way more classics but your ballerina had Biggie living in his mind rent free and brought his demise because of it
can’t argue that you Tupacs impact influence and legacy stands alone, biggie hasn’t been mentioned without mentioning Tupac since 1997. His legacy unfortunately can’t be mentioned without Tupac’s name.
I don't think New York has the best technically proficient rappers and that's because most of their lyrical types came out in the early 90s when lyricism was still in its infancy: WuTang Clan, Biggie, Nas, Mobb Deep etc. are all good multi-syllabic rhymers, but they're pretty straightforward and they rarely say anything that goes over your head. To me the South and Midwest have the best lyricist: Big KRIT(Mississippi), JID(Atlanta), Lupe Fiasco(Chicago), OutKast(Atlanta), Common(Chicago), Elzhi(Detroit), Killer Mike(Atlanta), Royce da 5'9"(Detroit), Cyhi The Prynce(Atlanta), Rapsody(North Carolina) etc.

It’s not hard to gauge. Biggie died too young, which is Gipp’s point regarding Ice Cube too.

So was James Brown & Mystikal!
@@thecunninlynguist I agree with Gipp’s argument supporting Ice Cube was a better storyteller than Biggie. Sure, Biggie wrote some bangers but it just doesn’t compare to the impact Ice Cube had for a whole coast that changed the landscape of Hip Hop and how music was consumed worldwide with NWA just to start.
Tupac Shakur said it 20 years ago..
"Y'all making Biggie bigger than what he really is!"
Right
Tupac wasn’t alive 20 years ago and that sound like some jealous hating sh** to say but hey, who am I ??
2pac was in his feelings. Remember 2pac was the same guy smiling when biggie was free styling next to him. I like Pac music more than biggie but biggie was a high skill rapper.
And Pac's first 2 albums flopped
How ironic, you can change Biggie to Tupac and it really applies.
Until time traveling becomes possible... Value what you got in the living. Biggie & Pac -- Both had *_ASTRONOMICAL_* potential, but because of what happened... It's unseen; undetermined. It never happened. What they left behind, is how far they got in the race of life.
Wow nicely put
Pac taught you how to think, fight back, and struggle to make it in this cold world while Big taught you how to hustle, sell drugs, party and bull chit. The lyrics speaks for themselves. 2Pac was the best of them all imo.
That part
Rap fans speak on pac and biggie like sports fans speak on Russell and Chamberlain. They were something new in a new era..pioneers and we appreciate them but skill wise, they weren't the best. People stay away from Cube because he would eat them alive in a diss. For some reason people envy greatness but I bet nobody was crazy enough to go up against him. Too hard, truth teller, lyrical genius. And unlike Jay z and biggie, cube and pac didn't need historical beats to push their hits.
Pac waited until he was 25 till start gangbanging😂FOH stop comparing him to bigg
Historical beats?

I always look at Rap like I do sports. Specifically Football...When comparing Tupac and Biggie...Sure Tupac didn't have a sophisticated flow and rhyme scheme, but he made up for it with his passion and writing ability (Poetry). Biggie is the type of dude to run around a wall & Tupacs style is running through the wall. Who is better Barry Sanders or Emmit? Who is better Earl Campbell? Walter Payton? Barry? Or Emmit...All great but had their own running styles.

2 completely different but insanely nice MC’s.
I always believed that argument about who's music reaches the most people or who sells more records?
But when you think about it, all of those numbers can be inflated by the labels dumping a bunch of money behind promo and radio spins.
How many times have you seen artists that have not zero talent blow up to be successful? Not even just in hip hop genre, look at Britney Spears for example.
On point
Also all coasts or regions had they part in it and it all should be respected.
Dude hates New york, if you can’t see his bias then you’re choosing to be blind. No one in New York is good enough apparently. He keeps shifting the goalposts for each comparison. When DJ Efn and Yayo were debating Biggie VS Ice Cube, it was from a lyrical point. You even hear Yayo recite Boggie’s lyrics to prove it’s from a lyrical point. You can’t argue impact VS Lyricism.
It’s funny man. But let anyone say something about the South..
Exactly it’s crazy how openly biased these Niggas are in the comments. Talking crazy about NY and NY rappers the minute we say any citicism of the South it’s like we committed a war crime

Biggies best song is Juicy and he stole it from Notorious BIG One, a southern rapper. That's why biggie didn't like performing the song.
Pac and BIG have the same number of classics. Pac had 2 and BIG had 2. Pac was a mediocre lyricist and didn't get mainstream attention until the rape case and he got shot at Quad.

PAC was versatile, had the best voice and people could connect and relate to his music. No matter what you are going through, there's a PAC song to listen to that helps you get through it. What was BIG talking about in his songs? The only reason BIG was known internationally was because of his beef with PAC.

Biggie never battled anyone as good as common. Probably woulda got cooked. Cube cooked nwa with no Vaseline.
DMX was the closest thing to PAC despite his disdain for the comparison and their obvious stylistic differences. But both were raw and real with highly emotionally charged music. They looked similar but were worlds apart in many ways. Like 2 sides of the same coin.
That attitude is what helped start and fuel the west coast artist issues with eastcoast media, radio, and artist.

The Fact is NYC dudes are biased as hell. I'm from Buffalo, and we know these things. We used to say Beans was better than Jay-Z. Beans was the more simple Rapper of the two. But every time they did a collaboration, Beans had the better verse. Beans said just Gutter shit and was out rapping Jadakiss, too. So the notion that you have rhyme Megatron with Megaladon only exists amongst nerds and NYC dudes.
@@lroyjetsonson5060 Don't nobody give a fuck about Buffalo so shut yo goofy ass up.
This is why we don’t respect y’all tho. I’m from NY and I love DMX absolutely love him but he was not nicer than Big
We don’t give af who y’all respect in NY y’all words don’t hold weight down south. From Texas to Virginas to Florida and the rest of the southern states we run the game Fuck New York.
Big Gipp is in love with 2pac. He can't talk about nothing without sliding Pacs name in it.
name one person who talks about him, plays or says his music! OutKast gave him his HANDOUT and he still obsolete😂💀
Seems like y’all don’t love 2pac it’s like y’all hate wen people bring 2pac up pac was jus dat gud but he was gud rapper but pac was better I learned more from pac
In Nigeria the only time Biggie is brought up is alongside Tupac. We know Tupac's music but hardly anyone knows BIG. As far as Nigerians arw concerned BIG is not even in the conversation. I was shocked to see the comparisons in the US because outside your shores, BIG doesn’t hold a candle.
That's a lie. Biggie well known across Africa, yes we love PAC more but it doesn't mean we don't listen to Biggie. Even Nigerian rappers have Biggie in their top 5
2pac made better songs n hits then biggie I live in Houston tx are the real ones out here still jam on 2pac nobody here don't listen to biggie 2pac was a real rapper
Facts
U KNOW THEM NEW YORKERS DON'T LIKE THE TRUTH. I CAN HEAR A NY PERSON NOW LYING 😂😂👍🏾
😂😂😂😂😂 they us in the South so much it's a damn shame. But the South definitely had Something to Say 😂😂
@@ItsVolsnLions SOUTH HAS GREAT ARTIST ACROSS THE BOARD 👍🏾💯💪🏾
Biggie was better than every dead 💀 rapper that died in the South like Bankroll Fresh😂😂😂😂
Word’em up, son
I’m from Chicago and his blatantly lying. The man compared pop smoke to biggie. He’s a hater
Biggie’s clout is 90% related to Tupac. Without Tupac he’s just another rapper with a hot run. Like Nelly, Ludacris, LL.
Nah his songs albums def legendary
Without 2pac Biggie probably would still be alive and release way more classics but your ballerina had Biggie living in his mind rent free and brought his demise because of it
@@jeanpayano1506 PAC lives rent free in your head huh lol
can’t argue that you Tupacs impact influence and legacy stands alone, biggie hasn’t been mentioned without mentioning Tupac since 1997. His legacy unfortunately can’t be mentioned without Tupac’s name.
@@kingme863 Nah but it’s facts tho I am a die hard pac fan, had big not associated with pac he would still be alive🤷🏾♂️
🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿 people keep forgetting Tupac was actually born in New York then moved to Baltimore then California
i dont know anybody who dont like DMX, Metalheads, rapheads, punk, pop, everyone loved DMX.
The hate his has for nyc artist is unmatched
They are. Minus Ice Cube, Scarface, OutKast,
Facts
He’ll get what he got coming to him when we catch them
And what’s crazy is Celo loved Big and always talked respectfully about NY hiphop.
I don't think New York has the best technically proficient rappers and that's because most of their lyrical types came out in the early 90s when lyricism was still in its infancy: WuTang Clan, Biggie, Nas, Mobb Deep etc. are all good multi-syllabic rhymers, but they're pretty straightforward and they rarely say anything that goes over your head.
To me the South and Midwest have the best lyricist: Big KRIT(Mississippi), JID(Atlanta), Lupe Fiasco(Chicago), OutKast(Atlanta), Common(Chicago), Elzhi(Detroit), Killer Mike(Atlanta), Royce da 5'9"(Detroit), Cyhi The Prynce(Atlanta), Rapsody(North Carolina) etc.
You must be funny in the head
@@goodbrothersteve Go fix up your country.
Respectfully in my opinion Tupac is the G.O.A.T
@@ijumpjudy I'm 55yrs old been a pac fan since I was in my 20's naw no bandwagon here but nice try
@@ijumpjudy You the biggest Pac D rider here go change those tampons and your ass diapers you sound butt hurt 🤣 like the way your dad got to your butt when you was sleeping 🤣
@@yuseffutch3508I won’t question ur opinion,but being that u were alive back then,was PAC considered the best in life or after he passed,because Big was already crowned the King of Ny and I was also there back then.
@@sinceremarks8529 Respectfully he may have been crowned the King of New York in New York but outside of that area I believe Pac was considered the best I could be wrong. But at the time in that space Pac was a mega star and again he will always to me be the greatest to ever do it. Don't get me wrong Big was nice also both taken way to soon RIP to the both of them Kings.
@@ijumpjudy Go troll somewhere else grow up
He said biggies death disqualifies him froM being compared to Ice Cube. Wow. Do you hear urself? So with that logic, u can’t compare pac to anyone that didn’t do as many records as he did. Come on. This is whack!
Let’s say Cube stopped rapping and making records as of 3/9/97 ( the Death of Biggie ) Who’s career was better?
2pac” Is the greatest rapper that ever came from New York 🗽
On point! Can’t argue that!
*Jay z
Nah jayz Bozo.. 24 Grammy Awards most all time and 13 number 1 albums which is also number 1 all time Bozo
DMX reached way more ppl than Big! Big was an incredible rapper and story teller and I (WE) love that man's work! DMX had a massive audience that broke color lines. Going to a DMX concert and the audience looked like they were there to see Guns & Roses was mind blowing to me. That man had a massive following over Big. Big had the hoods in NY and other areas but DMX had all regions in the US and across the pond.
