What’s the argument for kdor and em over big

Depends on your top 5. But he has a legendary flow and storytelling style that Jay went on to make millions with.

Yes hands down

Biggie the best rapper of all time and idc what anyone says about it

Em has the most sales, first 2 (maybe 3) albums are classic, one of the most respected mc's.

Kendrick has a few classics. TPAB is an important album. And hes the best rapper of this era

i don’t have a solid top 5 but people i’d arguably put ahead of him:

3 stacks(hip hop goat imo)
ice cube
ghostface
jay z
scarface
nas
q tip
pac
kendrick(not rn, but could be by the end of his career)

wanna put kanye but w his collab writing style i held him off. seems like his pre-mbdtf work he mostly just went off the cuff and didn’t write so if CD-808’s was just him i’d probably put him in that list too. maybe em too, but his post 8 mile discog gives me whatever the opposite of nostalgia glasses are

edit: forgot DOOM

Way too many all time greats came after biggie so he just gets pushed further and further down since he can’t make more music

If he was alive I believe he would still be top 5

So who you putting over Big that's not in op?

it's getting disrespectful in here.

He's top 3

1. Nas
2. Pac
3. BIG
4. Jay

no hes not the end

1. Hov
2. Biggie
3. Ice Cube
4 Pac
5. Kanye

Kind of a weird list but okay i feel you

yes

Yes and no

He's 2 for 2

Not wrong but Pacs subject matter was way deeper and more thought out for the most part. Why A Kendrick is better than a Lil Wayne

Future > Biggie

I think i'm being reasonable. All the rappers in op have strong arguments against biggie.

You might be on to something

He's in my top 5 and that's all that really matters to me.

I'm putting Wayne over big

He’s not in my top 5 personally but I see why people put him there.
