    NY was still doing just fine after "Life After Death" dropped the Atomic Bomb on the game and Jay Z, NaS and DMX as well as Ja Rule and Big Pun were able to carry the touch Biggie Left Behind. The West was a wasteland after Tupac died. Snoop fell off, Dre was MIA and Cube was doing movies. Were as the East was able to flourish after Big mostly cause of his influence, his formula and his #1 Disciple Jay Z being able to push forward. Big Pun was clearly influenced by Biggie, just listen to "Capitol Punishment". Pun has stated that Biggie was his favorite rapper. At 1st I didn't think Ross was influenced by Big but now I clearly see the influence to the point, Ross is starting to believe he's the 2nd Coming of Biggie, lol.

    Thats not fair.

    We didnt crumble because Tupac wasnt influential, it was madness with Suge being a bully Dre being a ? , and Snoop takin' off for the South.. It became a wastland to a certain extent because of tribalism and savagery not Tupac.

    Cube kept things movin' with West-side connection but Dre went into hiding and politics and payola boxed us out while NY radio banned us.


    Ricky Rozay is what Biggie wanted to be: a larger than life sex-symbol with a flair for style and a regal bearing.

    Rozay is an industry darling and a man of principle who refuses to spout filth in his ingenious rhymes..Rozays husky baritone is more commanding than Big's and his work ethic is greater. A renowned "lover" and gentleman he refuses to abuse his women and donates annually to battered-womens shelters.

    Rozay also lives a much healthier life-style than Big, he jogs 5 miles a day and does Pilate's with an instructor...Id appreciate if you would refrain from mentioning a legend like Ricardo Rozay in the same sentence with a lout like Christopher Wallace.

    Lil' Wayne style changed to a more east coast style... oh yea someone compared Jays Vol 1 cover to carter 1 and then Vol 2 to carter than influence was unmistakable
    So because there were growing similarities between Wayne and Jay, Wayne is expected to shun his lifelong music family to sign to Rocafella? No.

    Would you be willing to delete the most famous African-American rapper (Tupac) who ever lived to salvage Biggie Smalls a popular rapper who never became a cultural icon?

    Keep in mind that Tupac is immortalized in movies, books, and curriculum's.

    If you delete Tupac then you delete Biggie because Tupac groomed him, nurtured him, and gave him the formula....and in return Biggie allowed him to be robbed and shot.

    i call ? on that one

    The West was running ? With Cube Pac Snoop Dre. The Bay Area and the DPG. Yall east coast cats biased as ? ?

    We always give you guys props but you throw ? in are face by
    Saying Illmatic,R2D and Reasonable Doubt>>>Any West Coast Album

    and I own all 3 of those but get off that ignorant ? . The west been putting out classic album and selling 3x more then the east.

    ya'll put out classics but never sell well. Don't give me that ? Biggie went Diamond. only reason he sold that much cause of his death. R2D was doing 2mill the most.

    by that i mean this:
    diddy would not have had as big of an influence without big.
    that ? capitalized off of big's death && career and hasn't left the public eye for more than a year since his death
    allsimsayinisthat if big had not existed, i highly doubt diddy would have attained the success and attention he did
    attention that he didn't ? deserve

    i just don't like diddy.

    You can dislike Diddy all day long, that doesn't mean that everything you just typed are lies, exaggerations, and flatout delusional. Diddy capitalizes from everyone's career. Biggie isn't a special case.
