Let me start by saying i am a huge biggie fan, but am also a huge wayne fan. But i think there is an error in your logic when arguing the music category, i would agree on the other two, but i think music really is the most important of the three. First of all, when you are arguing the music of both artists you have to take them at their bests. I wouldnt say wayne is at his best on his studio albums necessarily, some parts of them are but songs like lollipop, get money, and fire man are not his shining moments. You cant argue the popularity of a song when judging how good the music is, the masses corrupt good music not justify it. Wayne shines through the most on his mixtapes like drought 3, dedication 1, and random other songs on his huge body of work. The carters do have their fair share but dont make the mistake of likening how much these albums sold to how good they are. I believe life after death far outsold ready to die, yet ready to die was the better album for its raw quality that allowed biggie to really flow, and not some of the more commercial elements of his second album with cheap hooks. Also biggie died early in his career so we never got to see what could have been, so in the end its really not a fair comparison, at their best, they are both extremely good rappers.

OK. I get where this comparison has come from. Its better than receiving the flak he would get if BIG was compared to Tupac. But Lil Wayne? “The Brittany Spears of Rap” And I say rap, not hip-hop – cuz now we have every run and gunner using that shitty T-Pain/LW auto-tone voice that Daft Punk made famous in the mid 90s and the fact that the lyrics don’t even come close to what has been put on paper when I was in 8th grade! (circa 98)

I would have compared BIGGIE to someone more comparable: ODB, J-Dilla, M.O.P., Public Enemy, Outkast, even Dre or Talib Kweli are better than whatstheshitontheradio now. Sounds like Sesame Street x Telletubbies. Rinse/wash/repeat should not be the norm, nor the exception when it comes to any music [ESPECIALLY HIP-HOP]
Cuz its still bigger than…

To Jordan, first off if you haven’t heard ashy to classy then you automatically have no valid opinion on this subject. second Lil Wayne is not the greatest rapper alive, Jay-Z is, when you look at the numbers its HOVA all the way. third “Ready to Die” was four times platinum and by far better then anything Lil Wayne could ever produce.

Lil Wayne can put out some good stuff but none of it means anything. Its all about money and Hoes, its not true hip-hop. Its like commercialized hip-hop and in no way will ever match Biggie. Did Biggie ever use Auto-Tone? i dont think so.

@Davonte – I think you might want to look up the word invalid. I correctly compared Biggie and Lil Wayne. They were/are the main artists on labels owned by someone else. Re-read my post and you’ll see that I say bling bling is not really cool to say anymore. Just a general rule, if granny knows the lingo, LET IT GO.

We will have to agree to disagree on Wayne’s greatness.

By the way, today is the 12 year anniversary of Biggie’s death. R.I.P.
