BIG had the ability to carry the battle rapping, the lyricism into the booth and still make hit songs that were catchy af. Not many can do that. It's been either one or the other. Either you a battle rapper, a lyrical miracle or just into making hit songs for the radio. And he had a natural rhythm and charisma...Never saw anything like him until Pun.
I’m glad Lil Cease revealed that Biggie wrote the album “Ready To Die”. He later developed the superability to write in his head and then record but that’s after mastering the craft of writing on paper. There’s a process to mastery. Respect the process.
Biggie is one of my all-time favorite rappers and in my opinion he never made a bad song. He was a very complete rapper who dominated in a competitive era of Hip Hop. May Biggie rest in peace! His music will forever live on!
@@knookiesolotv926 umm...I highly disagree with you on that. He wasn't very socially conscious, but his rhymes always made sense. Word play was out of this world!
No rapper in the history of Rap was more versatile as BIG.Even now.He could do it all.Real king of nyc..He outshined the whole LOX on Last Days.I said that as well..That was crazy..
"The Warning"....that joint is like a blueprint of how to structure rhyme schemes, ride a beat with perfect cadence, and making all the lyrics stay laser focused on the topic. Every bar ended with hard hitting punchlines. True timeless classic. "There's gonna be a lot of slow singing and flower bringing if my burglar alarm starts ringing"....Alien brain geeez
Biggie was really cold he's voice on record was unbelievable man Ed lover witnessed him spit without writing nothing that's crazy Soo many people said that about him the man was a genius
Spoken like a real fan who happened to even know the man. Ed is right, “it’s mostly the voice” and only after that do the verse come first. That’s one thing we lost over time, in 2021 it’s not near enough real unique voices or flows or type of lyric for that matter
Biggie was nice as hell! Jay is Better than Big Imo. Nas is at that same level but also better than BIG. I hit the earth like a comet invasion Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian half man half amazing...
Bro I have never heard any story telling record better than niggas bleed.the rhymes, his flow, the precise description of things and events like Arizona Ron ? somebody gotta die? Story to tell? While he’s #1 on my list, he should be top 3 on everybody’s list
@@josephkanu2778 100%. For me, it's a pretty much a tie between Biggie and Nas. Rounding out the top 5-6 IMO are Kool G Rap, Slick Rick, Ice Cube and Scarface. Honorable mention to KRS-1 and Pac.
@@Israel-nb7ip you on point. Scarface is one of the best story tellers out there, everybody knows what slick rick does. Listen to Black robs life story album, he was the probably the most underrated story teller as well. The album is a personal classic
@Ms Penny Isaac haha ive been sayin this for a long time but too many pac dickriders out there 😄 Pac was an arrogant wannabe, screaming westside this and westside that...YOU WAS FROM THE EAST COAST
I still get sad thinking about the day he died. I got phone call @ 4am from my homie while in college that BIG died. I jumped up got dressed and ran out of my dorm like I was about to do something, mind u I was Md @ the time😂😂😂. I miss BIG.
Biggie, X, Pac, Rakim, Ja, Cube, Slick Rick, Meth, U God, Dre, Sticky Fingas, Jeezy, Ghost, Rae, Freeway, Canibus, Jay, Nas, Too Short, Bizzy, Busta, Snoop, Kiss, Styles, Mr. Cheeks, Freaky Tah, and 50 have some of the best voices in hip hop history, but Chuck D is the 🐐🙏🏾.
Makaveli is an incredible album and likely my favorite Pac work...but Life After Death is too massive for Makaveli. Just the sheer number of classic and timeless songs on that album. Biggie created what can be considered a perfect rap album...and a double disc on top which makes it that much harder? Man, Makaveli alone cant keep up simply because it's a one disc album even though the content on Makaveli is more my lane than alot of the mafioso shit Biggie was doing on Life After Death.
@@Israel-nb7ip I agree. I would say All Eyez On Me & L.A.D. are the 2 greatest rap albums period on the fact that their double discs and don't have a single bad song
When I heard him in the song "Ready to Die" I was like this Bul right here is a force to be wrecking with his tone on that song and how he was spitting he put his all in all into it I can imagine him in the studio pointing at the mic bullying it....that is one of my favorite Biggie tracks go back and revisit that song just block out the music and listen to the words and how he finessed it..he is definitely one of the illest Emcee's to have ever gripped the mic
Say this ask the time. Biggie's voice was compelling and his flow and tone stood out more than anyone else's. Listened to "I Love the Dough" last week for the first time in ages too and there's no comparison between Jay and him. Where's Ed Lover been for the past 25 years anyway? I see he was quick to mention that his album with Dre was still certified Gold! 😂
I'm from the Low Down Dirty Souf!!! But if Biggie ain't in yo top 10 , U are insane. Biggie is who inspired Lil Wayne and Jay Z. Biggie is the Billy GOAT 🐐 of hiphop
Top 3 Rappers: Biggie Smalls, Rakim, and Jay-Z. Most underrated rappers is a tie: AZ and Suga Free. Biggie was the complete package; flow, story telling, plausibility, versatility (could rap fast, slow and off beat). Rapping over the beat in “I got a story to tell” is difficult, like trying to sing the National Anthem, he had vocal tone and range, and charisma. And he wrote for others like Lil’ Kim and Lil’ Cease getting them hits as well
Biggie was a lyrical genius but not in the same way a Nas is. He wasn’t overly deep preferring quips and street shit. His flow is what really set him apart.
It’s always some 2pac fan trying to force some “Greatest” narrative on other artist(s) videos but let someone come on a 2Pac post it’s a all out war for Pac. Just sit this one out and let Big be great! Lol Smh

I can't argue that, he's one of the greats for sure!
Not the GOAT
Style was tupacs but I digress

dont forget the Junior Mafia albums and Kims

Biggie is my favorite Rap Artist of all time 💯🔥🔥
he is mine too

Biggie is lyrically the greatest of all time, period.
Notorious thugs is my favorite biggie song of all time.🔥🔥
Hip - hop of the 90's and the last 80's is the greatest moments in hip hop period hands down !
For example: LL Cool J 🐐
Early 2000's was dope as well‼️
Who's the Man was one of my favorites! Denis Leary losing his shit over Dre eating those donuts lol
biggie was definitely a lyrical genius...
Time to go find that song lol
Uno

same here
BIG was definitely one of the best MCs ever. period.
That "I love the dough" verse was sick.
If that verse was sick his verse on young Gs is in critical condition
Redman has a DISTINCT voice too.
