[@lroyjetsonson5060]

Big Facts. I'm from Buffalo and I remember besides KRS-1, Cube was the only Rapper who made you think that wasn't a weirdo. Pac did it, but you can tell he was inspired by Ice Cube. My Pops used to be in the Kitchen smoking weed listening to those white Farrahkan tapes and I used to pass by but the information didn't really settle in on me mostly because I was like 9-10 years old at the time 😂. But when I heard that Predator album as a kid Cube brought everything full circle. So no Biggie who was a better "Wordsmith" was nowhere near Ice Cube as a Lyricist and a Storyteller. PS. "Summer Vacation" was the obvious inspiration for "Every day Struggle" my favorite Biggie song.

[@JrRimp]

I think most, including Big Gipp, are missing the actual question. They’re asking who is the greater RAPPER. Not better Artist, not better lyricist, not better career. Biggie is the better rapper. His style of spitting was so melodic and flowed with the music almost like a singer. His inflections, his accentuations, his tonation. Then he showed when he rapped with BTNH that he could switch styles but so keep his signature on it. Big is the better rapper. And for context I’ll put it like this Rihanna has a better career, more hits, and is a bigger star than Jazzmine Sullivan but Jazzmine is the better singer. We confuse sales with talent. Personally, I don’t really care about hits I care about actual talent. I love Gipp but he totally missed the question lol

They both share a lot of parallel's, being the pen's behind group's/rappers (Cube..NWA, Eazy E..etc./Big..Lil Kim, Puffy, Jr Mafia..etc), both having classic album's (both also have a Source 5 Mic album which is still credible to a lot of fans), both have timeless songs, both were clear cut icons of their coasts...the list goes on.

Someone raised in Florida is more inclined to listen to Plies or Kodac Black rather than J Cole or Meek Mill but to say plies or kodac are as talented as these other two would be preposterous. They may be as accomplished musically, but objectively speaking, they're not as talented lyrically. A person's preference will always be subjective in nature, talent will always be objective.

The problem with your point is there is no tangible way to measure good lyrics.it always just comes back to a feeling and a vibe which is subjective. You can say one used more metaphors but that dont mean ppl wont “perceive” those metaphors as corny . You can say someone told a good story but shat about the listeners who just want something catchy with a good flow. Different strokes for different folks. Now if you wanna talk about cultural impact i think theres a better argument to be made for that. Lyrics arent like a piano in which we can measure the chords scales notes and intervals to determine the difficulty and skill level of the pianist. Lyrics are just whos saying what with a delivery that resonates with ppl at the time

[@xrayspodcast1874]

I think when we rate rappers its mostly subjective because we rate with a bias based according to the region we grew up in and also how we personally relate to the artist. So if some feel Cube is better or more relatable, I am fine with that. Cube was an incredible artist. With the above noted. We can't count NWA because that was just verses here and there by Cube, not whole songs. We must weigh Kill At Will EP, America's Most Wanted LP, Death Certificate LP, Predator LP... Biggie made Ready To Die, Life After Death, and Born Again. Life After Death was a double CD which stretches the catalog to 4 albums instead of just 3, in terms of song output. If we count NWA albums and West Side Connection then we have to add the array of songs Biggie was featured on and I'm sure they will add up to the number of songs Cube had on the group albums because Biggie had hella features. Plus he wrote for Lil Kim, Lil Ceas, Junior Mafia, Puff Daddy... So when we measure it this way Biggie does compare to Ice Cube body of work. Biggie did songs with The Lox, Mase, Puffy, Mary J Blige, Craig Mack, tracy Lee, Heavy D, Dabrat, Jay Z, Supa Cat, Lil Kim, Shaq... Biggie rhymed at an elite level amongst some of the best and his delivery was A1 as well as hus storytelling abilities. The only edge Cube may have over Biggie is the conscious aspect of his songs. Cube had the ability to do both gangsta as well as conscious. But other than that, its not fair to say there is no comparison whatsoever. Bith have heavy influence from coast to coast. Both were ghost writers, both put groups together and both had their moment at the top of the game of Rap... Lets not act as though Common Sense didnt beat Cube in a battle and make multiple classic albums like Cube did. If Common Sense ranks with Cube then certainly Biggie does as well.

[@shakag5612]

Im a fan of both Cube and Biggie. But for the short time Big was here he did alot. He wrote for Puff, Lil Kim, Lil Cease and the whole Junior Mafia. Let alone even having to write his own lyrics. And most Big music came off the dome. Big was special bit yes his legacy was short lived.
