L.O.G.O.N. Vol. 5: Notorious BIG

he nice but overrated

he only dropped two albums so if anybody come in here say in he goat is a ?

And we go with this fallacy.

I guess Too Short, B.G., E-40 and Snoop Dogg are G.O.A.Ts

no problem with peeps who think he's the goat.......

B.I.G. brought East COast back to Prominence.

Had versatile tracks, appeal to the streets and the mainstream and was crazy nice lyrically.

king of NY

GOAT candidate only 2 albums but them 2 albums are arguably the best albums in history. plus his work off those albums have been great. I haven't heard a bad verse from him. overrated my ass, his impact can't be denied. RIP

Sion pretty much summed it up but it's 16 years later. Legendary Rappers have larger catalogs like Rakim, Cube, Pac and NaS. But Big is the same status as them with less albums, less verses that has to say something. He's the most bitten rapper of all time. How is someone with such a less amount of material lyrically bitten that much?. "Ready To Die" literally was the straw that brought the East back to dominance in the mainstream. "Life After Death" created the non-regional blueprint that is still being copied till this day. Jay Z is considered the Top rapper in the game today and he's basically Biggie's Disciple. NaS came out the same time as Big and even dropped an album that can go toe to toe with both Big albums in "ILLmatic" but even NaS was outshinned by Big while he was alive. Pac is iconic and probably Rap's best artist ever.

But even Pac himself was completely taken a back by Biggie's skills to the point he wanted Biggie in his crew before the beef. Biggie is the GOAT based solely on Skill level. He's the complete Emcee. He basically had no weakness on the mic. Lyrics-tight, Flow-tight, Delivery-tight, I mean I could go on for days. Sure Some may argue Big's subject matter wasn't "Worldly" but he was a storyteller, he wanted to paint a picture. He didn't need to rap about politics or social injustice cause he wasn't trying to change the world. He was just trying to tell a story. Within his bars are social commentary though. "Ready To Die" does have a moral that shows that a certain lifestyle ends you up in jail or dead. "Life After Death" talked about success and the trappings of that success.

Biggie's albums continue to make Greatest of all time list. Both of his albums aren't just Great Rap albums but Great albums amongst any genre. He's work with some amazing artist in his career like Michael Jackson and Tupac. He was respected amongst his peers and the ones that did have a problem with him all respect him today. I understand that not everyone will agree Big is the GOAT. I happen to think Hip Hop is made up of several GOATS not just one. But Big is a great representative of what any rapper should strive for. If you are an emcee you have to go to Biggie University to get some lessons. Like Big said:

"Dumb Rappers needs teachin, Lesson A, Don't ? with B.I., that's that, Oh I thought he was Wack, oh come, come now"

Seriously Biggie can go toe to toe with any Emcee in History. When Biggie got on a track with Bone Thugs it was wrap. His "Notorious Thugs" verse is just one example of his GOAT STATUS. Big could rap with anyone, any style, any beat and still come out with a memorable verse:
