[Sharkweather]

Cause the greatest rapper of all time died on March 9th.

[hoodyallen]

Best rapper ever. RIP.

[Houston]

Not the greatest but R.I.P

[MvP]

One of the greats, and definitely better than Tupac. RIP

[NAHSTE]

Not the greatest but R.I.P

Definitely the greatest. RIP Big Poppa

[Esjay]

I would say Nas is the greatest but this isn't the time or place.

RIP Big.

[DJ Fog]

Biggie Smalls was the illest

[Houston]

Definitely the greatest. RIP Big Poppa

Too straight foward IMO to be the best.

I disagree. Are you saying you have to beat around the bush to be great? I happen to think his blunt depiction of his life was endearing. Much like Hemingway's terse prose made him a great writer.

Scarface was also very straight forward, and he's arguably the best ever from the South region. You don't have to be complex to say meaningful shit, IMO.

Nah I'm not dissing the style, one of my favorite songs is "Paid in Full" and I love how it's so simple and straight forward.

I just think using shit like complex metaphors that make you think more is better. Biggie is great but I love it when I don't truly get a song after the first listen. Not trying to be a homer but that's how I feel about most verse's from my favorite rapper(Andre). So many times I've heard a verse for the first time by him and I've gone back 3 and 4 times and just when I finally think I get it a week later listening to the song it really hits me.

Biggie was great and one of the best at his style of rap but that's not the type I like the best.

Probably a bad comparison but for instance you may get me to admit that ___ is the best country singer ever but I will never call them one of my favorite artist because I don't enjoy country.



Just my opinion...

Believe me, you're preaching to the choir on 3-stacks. Dre3k is my all-time favorite as well, just not the GOAT.

If you got me started on Andre I'd never be able to stop. So back to Biggie....



Here's my favorite of his songs.
