    This is an unfair comparison....Cube got a damn good catalog. Biggie was around for 2 1/2 albums

    CUBE

    Dude brings it every time. Ain't no "lookin' so good I'd suck ya daddy's ? " ? from Cube. He comes correct. (and don't give a ? what BIG was referencing from comedy skits or whatever) Cube's pen game is DOPE. Underrated as ? !

    Cube beats Biggie in every aspect of the art. There is literally nothing that Biggie was better than Cuba at.

    And for those who disagree, name the areas where Biggie is better. That's right...you can't.

    Better flow
    Better punchlines
    Better multis
    For starters.

    -How did Biggie have a better flow? Dude sounded like he was out of breath on every verse.
    -Punchlines & Multis weren't really Cube's style. So sure, Biggie did those better by default. Lyrically speaking, Cube is lights years ahead. He was a far better story-teller, and the content/message of his music is something Biggie never approached.

    Biggie was a great storyteller, and it wasnt even 'his style'. You're clearly bias against BIG

    Cube's lyrical content was better, but Biggie had a superior flow. I think they're equal when it comes to story telling. I choose Biggie because I don't think Cube's best album is better than Big's best.

    If you really think about it, Biggie in his prime was referred to as the "King Of NY". I don't think many has referred to Ice Cube as the "King Of Cali" in his prime even though he is a top rapper from the West Coast.

    Biggie is average. He brought nothing to game that was game changing.

    He is that ? that went into his turtle shell when Pac came at his neck.

    And that's the ? y'all wanna stand behind.

    It took other NY Artist to put on for the city against the West.

    To say that Biggie was average and didn't do anything game changing is ignorant.

    Ready to Die is a game changing album and a landmark in hip-hop history I would say top 3 or top 5 hip-hop of all time. One of the greatest hip-hop albums ever by far.

    Life After Death was a game changing classic album too, best double disc album ever.

    Biggie was a Great MC and he changed the game in a lot ways.

    He brought New York back

    Cube got knocked out and got his chain not snatched but calmly taken off his unconscious neck

    Cube stole Cypress hills song and lied about it

    Didn't he have ghostwriters?
