An explanation ONE MOE TIME why I think Biggie is #1...wow
 
Again, I listened to his song "My Downfall" all morning long...I've heard this song about 10000000 times. But, I've been studying Biggie's technique (flow/delivery/presence) alot lately. And, what I discovered is that he is brilliant with flow.

#1...In the song "My Downfall" I purposely counted through the beat to keep track of the "snare." Biggie Completely disregards the snare and basically raps to his own cadence. The amazing thing about him doing this is that his flow is "on beat", but NO WHERE, NO WHERE near the cadence. I mean, it almost sounds like his voice is the "beat" and the actual beat is melding around it. AMAZING!

I appreciate how Biggie said what he said more than his actual lyrics, though he was a master at metas.


Lots of people claim to be "better" than Biggie. But, when you go back and study the man's fundamentals, he's unbelieveably gifted and talented.

Well I dont know. Personally I think 2Pac has no flow and Biggie was just an east coast hype man in an age where the east coast scene was dominated by more jazzy artists.

I dont see anything special about Big that separates him from people like Big L or anything.

yeh bigs flow is nice.

Biggie had best flow, nothing new.

Tupac had better lyrics hands down tho.

I'm a fan of flow bro...That' what I focus on...And, Biggie's flow was immaculate...

What amazes me more tho is how when you truly listen to his raps over and over again, u pick up things (nuances) u missed before. That, my friend, is the definition of greatness, IMO.


Listen to the song "My Downfall"...u'll see what Im sayin

only clowns would listen to that Weird Al shit

and Biggie is a beast
He's better than Tupac
Tupac was boring as hell, nigga never changed up his flowBiggie had entire albums that was great where he changed up his flow, changed up the subject matter, all of that. Big was all around better
Ready To Die, Life After Death

and lets face it, if Biggie would've dissed Pac back, he would've ended his damn career.

Dufflebag Boy 11-17-06 10:21 AM

ehhh biggie is overrated...guess u can have the same arguement wit 2pac
but 2pac was more than just a rapper..he was a modern day revolutionary
2pac entered the rap game with meaning and had the biggest heart
