I got Biggie as my #1 overall MC of all time and Jay-Z is a close #2. He may not have been on Big's level when he passed and may not have caught up to Big if he didn't pass, but in terms of rapping Jay-Z did get to Big's level. If you're considering everything else other than rapping, Jay-Z far surpassed Biggie.
sucks I wasn't around when rappers were smart about the craft...knowing how to put their tracks together. a modern rapper wouldn't be able to keep up a conversation on the craft as much as jay, respect.
You are wrong. Young rappers do have conversations about their craft. Here is how it goes. Rapper 1: Copy Rapper 2: Paste Friend: Bruh, I just posted on the Gram...
BIG is smooth and poetic like Shakespeare, Jay is logical and provoking like Socrates. You can't compare them, so enjoy them before they're in a fucking textbook...FUCK!
Tech N9Ne raps circles around him at 50 years old. True artists never stop creating. Like he said he was given 30 tracks. Just messed with em but he didn’t create anything.
It's interesting that J says that he liked how real BIG was because J is himself the epitome of real. I respect how J always analyzes his surroundings. That's a sign of a smart man who will never say something dumb.
Puff was never a great rapper, but he is by far one of the greatest producers, EVER. Shit, Puffy was producing music back in the fucking 80's. He even did LL Cool J's BAD album. Yo, the fucking production on that album is to this day unmatched as far as varying degrees of how far he'd push the bill on tracks. I'm glad he gave Big's old tracks to J to use.
I never heard Puffy worked on LL Cool J's Bigger And Deffer album. Where did you see that ? The L.A. Posse produced that album and Russel Simmons was the production supervisor...
I'm not sure he's collaborated with LL Cool J. Other than that I agree, Puffy is a great producer. He takes a lot of shit from hip hop fans, but the fact is he has done lots of good things for the genre. It's not right for anyone to dismiss that just because they might not like him personally.
You know diddy dont produce any music nor can he play any instruments.He gets people to make beats and do all the musical stuff.He just gets them 2gether and pays for studio time.I repeat he makes no beats!!!
+jonathan micheli he's okay but some of the songs he sampled where just popular songs he probably heard on the radio with not much done to them e.g. ill be missing you sample of ill be watching you
clearly, he done his homework leading up to the interview. Looking at him, you wouldn't think he would know the difference between East Coast & West Coast Rap & Hip-hop...
not to mention, big was in the process of going into production, he executive produced puff's first and greatest lp no way out, he put lil kim on, he was putting junior mafia on, he offered camron his first deal with lance "un" rivera, big's business partner....and he also experienced his most difficult part, the battle with 2pac and his car accident so don't act like his career was all gravy and there was no difficult part....
Puffy had some beats that bigg did'nt get to rap on ..so he sold them to Jay ...We might got those beats on American Gangster album.Jay-z might use one them beats for one my favorite song on the album"sweet"
You can totally compare Jay & Biggie. Ready to die came out in 95 and Reasonable Doubt a year later. Both albums have a very close topic, but in my opinion the way that Jay-Z tells stories and the ambiance of the album is better than Biggie's best effort on a LP.
1) ready to die released in 94. 2) i gotta disagree. i think ready to die is better than jayz best record. i think biggie is a better rapper too. however when it comes to hits, impact and discography and longevity that goes to hov. but hov wouldn’t have as much of that if not for biggie
I see dudes talkin bout charity and giving back to the community. FUCK THAT!!! I got a wife, kids, family & bills. Every dollar I get is going to THEM!!! You call it selfish. I call it self preservation.
jay say diddy never invited him to studio but he have multipl songs with biggie and puff ..jay z is on life after death..no way out..and diddys forever album
You can tell that in Jays heart he feels that he's better than biggie. I don't think Jay is the greatest rapper of all time I just think he outlast everybody with longevity
na he was independent unlike like big and Pac. he was a thousand times better business man than they were. doing it without a major push takes more time. he been aligned with nothing but legends way before big. nobody timing is the same.
Biggie is the greatest! If biggie and or PAC were still around We would never have heard of young money and wouldn't see rappers walk around in uggs like lil Wayne. The game would be different
shut the fuck up. who tf you think you talkin bout. Diddy gave him that stash bc there was no other artist worthy of it. Jay was the original ghostwriter. Back in the late 90's you was prolly in diapers and shit Jay wrote for everybody. foh with your misplaced shade
I know Jay ghostwrote for many rappers like Dr. Dre and etc. but we know that he borrows Biggie's lines and he said he brings Biggie everywhere he goes.
Elij Gatdula who the fuck doesnt put symbolic rappes lines in their rhymes?? its a form of respect n a way to keep the person's honor alive!!! Ignorance kills n makes yall dumber than ever.
Give him Biggie's beats? Umm, I think u meant sold him Biggie's beats! Puff ain't giving biggie beats for free u better Kno that. I hope he gave biggie mom her cut
I think the title has u guys confused......biggie never rapped on the tracks nor was he a beat maker. The guy probably made them for biggie and never got to use them.....sheesh!
Fuck that, P Diddy should've used Biggie's stash on his own album and credit Biggie for it. Jay Z is a ghost writer, and if P couldn't do it, he could've given it to Nas.
Unfortunately I don’t know why so many hate on this black successful man🤦🏽♂️ it’s fucking shame, because if he was dead everybody would love him and acknowledge him as GREAT MAN GREAT RAPPER GREAT BUSINESS MAN, ONE OF THE BEST CULTURE EVER HAVE 🤔🐐SEAN CARTER
ReportCardAudio lmaooo. I was addressing the comment made by the guy who called hov & frank lucas snitches. My point is, that guy must be some pussy nigga if he thinks turning police over to the police is snitching. Since when was protecting the police a thing for street niggas? Never. I guess that guy didnt get the memo: to this day, the movement is still #fuckthepolice
I'm way too high haha. I read the title as "stashing biggies beets" not "beats". I kept waiting for a funny story of Jay-Z keeping some old sack of beets hidden in his closest or something haha
I'm glad that he told the world what I've been saying for years! Jay z wouldn't be Jay z if he didn't incorporate B.I.G's rhymes in his songs...and clearly his beats and songs were made for B.I.G...
Michael Davis lmao so u want us to ignore "Reasonsble Doubt", "In my life times Vol2", "blueprint" etc? He used songs produced for biggie for 1 album (not even he's top 5 greatest album) now he needed Biggie to be great? You sir aren't From around BK talking like that
@Stacey Donald i agree bro now that u put it that way jay became "jay z" after biggie only thing i guess u can give em is his will to survive the projects & his perseverance other then that he rode jaz o coat tail & biggie i see good observation & now u see alot of his dirty deeds are coming back at him is what it is i lost alot of respect for Jay myself however even puff knew he had to put that music out for bigs sake & i guess used jay for the instrument most likely puff really didnt want too or need too
Man ....Jay's best album is American Gangster...it truly represents what Jay is ...his transition from being a regular kid from Brooklyn to becoming a mogul is symbolized in the album...
@@unknownunknown_ its not a stupid comment because if they were still living then alotta rappers wouldnt have got put on because they would have been gatekeeping makin sure rappers wit skills came in and not wit lean 😂😂😂
@@gottizway1375 that's a lie. Plenty of rappers would've still been out.. you make it seem like it's only supposed to be a certain amount of relevant rappers gtfoh..hip hop would have evolved whether good or bad.. whether they were alive or not
from pac talking about his wife (who was pregnant at the time) on a bunch of records, big and faith going through a separation, the car accident that broke his leg in 96, fans turning away from him cos of the feud, death of his friend stretch, and people hinting he was involved with (rip) pac's death..and he still gave us a classic album like life after death?first rap album to go diamond? i respect nas , and jay, my best emcees after big, but the shit that man went through to drop those albums
This video had a weird edit. He was talking about B.I.G...then at 4:04 it fused right into what seems like him talking about Puff, with all the talk about winning fashion awards etc.

"You can't executive produce an Executive Producer!"

j is all business. that hood shit only takes you so far. get money j I love you're style big brother
Jay-Z is a legend, you can't match his consistent legacy. Definitely top 5 dead or alive. Every album goes platinum 😁

What a day, my great grandpa doing a Jay Z interview. He was so excited that day he even doubled up his high blood pressure meds.
Imagine big in the hard knock life beat

That would have been crazy!
That would have been pure
The flow alone, smh
Omg...my mind was just blown
American Gangster came out in 2007.. this white guy sound like he from 1977
Keith Brinker Probably because he's from that era
Charlie Rose is a legend.
Keith Brinker He a OG that's why.
That white guy is the Pervert Charlie Rose

Bodhisattva777LV LL's 2nd album was produced by Bobcat and the L.A. Posse. Get the fuck outta here with those false ass claims you stupid idiot.
You know diddy dont produce any music nor can he play any instruments.He gets people to make beats and do all the musical stuff.He just gets them 2gether and pays for studio time.I repeat he makes no beats!!!
Biggie was to real for the gang
I have to admit, even though Diddy is a shitty lyricist (lets face it), he sure is one hell of a producer.
Diddy has never written a rhyme in his life. He uses ghost writers. Another words he pays real rappers to write for him.
Gilbert Farmer Yes I know what a ghost writer is aha. And damn I never knew that, kinda changes my opinion a little bit
"I don't write rhymes.... I write checks"
Wow! Just saw my previous comment and I'm so embarrassed. I wrote "another words" but I meant "in other words."
+jonathan micheli he's okay but some of the songs he sampled where just popular songs he probably heard on the radio with not much done to them e.g. ill be missing you sample of ill be watching you
good interviewer he had some knowledge and attitude to do the interview i liked that
Definitely did. Vibe was very nice 💯

I like this interview of J. He seems relaxed and open when he answers. Usually he's short n to the point
luv these stories..one of my fav albums, so soulful
American Gangster was a great album
Puffy had some beats that bigg did'nt get to rap on ..so he sold them to Jay ...We might got those beats on American Gangster album.Jay-z might use one them beats for one my favorite song on the album"sweet"
That album was a masterpiece. It was a good year for rap.
Ray T. Allen first jay z album I listened to. Ignant sht, American dreamin, and blue magic.
Jay Z had to share a bed with puffy , in exchange for Biggie masters and then Jay Z starts to blow up and rest is history!!!
Frl😭😭😭
The game is real funny. Jay-z is a funny dude
I JUST PLAY THEM IN MY HOUSE AND I, I, JUST RUN AROUND WITH MY SOCKS ON. -GOLD
Can't talk about NY without giving props to Mobb Deep and Nas.
where the fuck is big L in this ??
Run DMC, Roxanne Shante, LL Cool J, Salt-N-Pepa, etc.
Or Lox & DMX
See y'all naming the most notable NY rappers. But Nore is the realest NY rapper out. Ijs
^ who invited this guy in here
Back in the day it was 2 Pac, Snoop BIG and Nas, NO body wasn't even checking for Jay-Z
Just hearing Jay quote Big, made me glad I was brought here! Peace!

But u would want the ppl to support u so u could support u an ya fam.good salen wat ever u plan to sell even with drugs😐
I think hearing music and learning history is powerful!
AG is one of his greatest albums
GREAT INTERVIEW JAY Z!
jay say diddy never invited him to studio but he have multipl songs with biggie and puff ..jay z is on life after death..no way out..and diddys forever album
I love his voice!!!!!💖
Every time I hear Jay talk I imagine Jay Pharaoh impersonating him hahahaha
Jay pharaoh does jay z better than jay z
I love how he does Diddy's voice.
My favorite Jay-Z album
American Gangster is my favorite album by Jay Z❤️❤️❤️❤️
I cannot stand when interviewers cut off a guest....mid sentence, mid thought.
You can tell that in Jays heart he feels that he's better than biggie. I don't think Jay is the greatest rapper of all time I just think he outlast everybody with longevity
Rez no way he can compete with biggie but he was a good artist
Jay-Z > Biggie
Longevity matters because to me Biggie had a better delivery and flow but Jay had better lyrics to me. 🤷🏿♂️
Jay has said that big is the greatest. The only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace.
@@roninblax He supposed to.
I don't think so
They were friends and both equally taleneted. Stop reaching
Shout out to Jay-Z you are the greatest of all time I'm proud of you man keep it up besides being popped love you big homie keep it up
He's bigger than any rapper dead or alive. May the souls of the dead RIP
So glad I was brought up on the real artist...graduated HS in 1995
ua-cam.com/video/VA164N4Q5W8/v-deo.html
Just wasn't a legend until the true legends died. He was basically what was left.
MrADBrown92
He was just starting out major label debut
na he was independent unlike like big and Pac. he was a thousand times better business man than they were. doing it without a major push takes more time. he been aligned with nothing but legends way before big. nobody timing is the same.
Ya'll need to stop with these accusations, both artists were relevant, both had something to bring to the table just in different ways.

Give sold, same thing. Puff has so much money that selling them is the same as giving away. It's just a few mill to his many millions.
I think the title has u guys confused......biggie never rapped on the tracks nor was he a beat maker. The guy probably made them for biggie and never got to use them.....sheesh!
He did mention Associate Producer.Might mean royalties.
You all ready know. Associate Producer might get a piece of the pie,+royalties?
