That was his mans....took him out of poverty. My father is the best dad in the world. I would hope others would say that about their Dad. Big was unbelievably dope especially the fact that he birth a lot of rappers and did it at a time where rap was incredibly simple both is influence and mechanics. Its like when the first commercial planes came out. There were planes before but nobody was tryna hop on a wright brothers product. He elevated a whole scene thats prevalent today.

Yeah man, Biggie was MY era, he was a RAPPERS RAPPER. No fillers, no fluff. Just heavy bars, delivery, cadence, and a seamless flow in every bar. I 13 Years old when Ready to Die released, I was 16 when Biggie passed. He was the SOUNDTRACK to my Golden Years. It's hard to believe his run was only 3 short years. Year's felt longer in the 90's.

R&B flow, storytelling, cadence, voice, delivery, etc. Many don't even realize he took the flow of everybody he did a song with, and tried to beat them at their own flow. Double back and listen again.

We never got a Biggie and Jodeci song because Suge linked up with them and put them on The “Murder Was The Case Soundtrack” another classic. But once Puffy found out about this, he cut Jodeci off, thus him discovering 112, who made classics with Biggie, while Jodeci made classics with 2pac

And even then after coming up of mc hammer , vanilla ice , wave a few short years earlier as a kid in Lagos Nigeria I knew the lyrics boice and style and sweet melody flow of notorious big was impeccable and incomparable to the light trash of mc hammer and vanilla ice commercial succes we used to listen to and learn dance steps to in the early 90s as kids. Jayz and Nas are my very admired artist on my top five but to compare them with big is so wrong .let's do it like this let's compare big jayz and Nas in the order of the two albums biggie released prior to his untimely demise, if we do it this way in comparison you will see that ready to die and life after death is far apart from both Nas illmatic and it was written and Jay-Z reasonable dought and Jay in my life time vol 1, if we wanna be sincere the top three list of greatest in view of ticking all the boxes and even including album sales then the list will go like this 1. Notorious big - ready to die , life after death 2. Nas - illmatic, it was written 3. Jayz - reasonable dought, in my life time vol one.

@@imthatdude5456 yeah he definitely got that from BIG, Nas himself has admitted that. But Nas also influenced Biggie, Illmatic came out before Ready to die, and Nas came in to the scene a year before Biggie in 1991. Nas checks every box there is, and he’s still dropping great albums to this day. We don’t know if Biggie or Pac would’ve done that, we can only speculate. So I’m saying for that reason it’s unfair to Nas if you don’t have him in the number 1, if you consider everything
