    lmfao
    did this ? say longevity?
    how could you possibly hold that over B.I.G.'s head?
    the ? ain't have no choice but to have a short shelf life
    his life period was cut short
    i don't even think more music should be brought into the equation
    the ? died!
    who's to say where jay would be right now if B.I.G. had lived



    ? all the could have would have ? , the facts are none of that ? happened and it is only a viable argument in make believe land when you get down to facts they are as I have pointed out...

    Why Put Biggie on a pedastal because he is dead? Death does not give you a handicap it just means you fell off at that point for whatever reason and can do no more to improve. Like I said I have never heard Jigga rap abnout giving it raw no condoms up the ass to another man...

    I'm not trying to be funny... but Jigg has virtually BITTEN BIG'S lyrics in all his albums till date

    Dude is a FAN of BIG... how is he then better than him?
    I wholeheartedly disapprove of the biting Jay has done. Still, his work that is original shows a more refined skill set (flow, metaphors, articulate analysis of his mindset back in the day, etc.).

    Everyone is a fan of someone. That doesn't mean they can't become better through exercise (*Lyrical Exercise* i.e. Spring Training in the Winter).

    how can you say biggie is better than jay and he ain't had but 2 albums?
    you sayin 2 albums worth of music is better than all the music in a 15 year career?
    thats why i'm sayin this comparison shouldn't be made

    Well... at the end of the day it's all OPINIONS...

    In all of Jigg's albums bar RD and the first BP... I skip a lot of the songs and like say 3 or 4 songs...

    But BIG's two albums... all the tracks were pure heat...

    No matter how Puff tried to sugar-coat him, he always murdered a track...

    well they have to be compared they are from the same era area and have similar styles of Rhyme who else makes a better Comparison then these 2? It seems that Jigga has to battle a ghost with Biggie which means he can never slay his competition. As far as the other Kat talking about Jigga being a fan, a true fan will try and do what there object of admiration did and improve upon it, Look at either MJ or Usher or Lebron or Kobe as examples of admiration taken to the next level...

    @ the bolded: Oh yeah, definitely opinions. *Respect*
    My posting of the FACT pic was just a way of showing how strongly I feel about it.

    From style and flow to longetivity and versatility Jigga has alway done what Big Did and better minus the ? Lyrics. The very fact he is still breathing and 1 of the flagship faces of Mainstream HipHop Proves this fact more. Anyone saying otherwise is either trend jumping, a badboy/biggie groupie, or delusional...


    Is this Porkchop serious?

    Thats like saying the letter Z is better than A, cuz Z got longetivity.

    If Big's death is the reason why he is legend status, then how come no one mentions Eazy E, Big L, Big Pun, Freaky Tah, ? C in that category?

    Okay so why people use the "he's dead, so thats why they call him a legend/goat" excuse, when no one really considers the rappers I listed as goats. Nothing against Pun, I got mad love for Pun, but if anyone calls Pun the goat, or one of the greats, then turn around and ? on Big because "he only has 2 albums". Is a hypocrite because Pun also had 2 albums.

    First off... I got mad respect for the dead not like some idiots on this forum

    Second... I respect BIG as one of the greats even with two albums... but my personal GOAT is Pac
