Yayo was right
You mean Ice Cube?
He’s great and sure he is better than Biggie in certain tracks. Biggie has less songs and it’s hard to beat Biggie overall because he didn’t really make many mid-tier songs. Ice Cube has made a lot of music over time so not all of it is as high quality as biggies releases but still there are definitely songs where Ice Cube proves he can be the best of the best.
Prodigy is a better storyteller than Biggie or Cube tbh
Prodigy in my Top 3 of all time along with Nas and Jay-Z
Respect for that.
I dont give cube is his props on here out of fear i'd be called washed
But he's that guy 4sure

I love how Cube's response on whoo kid's show to this was "I write movies too, if we just talking about storytelling,"
If biggie never died, his next albums would’ve probably been trash
His career was going to go one of two ways
Either he stayed with puff and went too far with the shiny suit s*** and dropped a watered down album
Or he leaves puff and then can’t recapture the magic
Then maybe around 2002 he comes back with like “Still Ready” and kind of recaptures the feeling but it’s still not the same
biggie in the early-mid 2000s would of been fire imagine him on rockafella, dipset and gunit type beats.

If big never dies, I don’t think that wave even happens because Hov/rocafella aren’t a factor enough to establish that sound
Nah def not. What record on DC you can play with your girl like that
with all due respect there’s nothing on life after death im playing around my girl either lmao
It’s really not
Down to preference

Cube's a legend.
But if Biggie never died, no one... I mean NO ONE would touch him.
Illest flow in the history of our culture.
Made it look effortless too.

feel like prodigy is simultaneously underrated and overrated
He's not crazy technical but he's seriously poetic as a songwriter and had a dope flow and voice
Biggie's grown off me a bit in recent years, as has Cube tbh, the latter of whom is in the same category of technical skill as Prodigy.
Big is my goat rapper. But you talking about mfn Ice Cube here lol Cube inspired biggie and Pac. Y’all young cats see Cube as the corny movie guy who used to rap—he was the most feared rapper maybe ever when he was on his run. Whole coast couldn’t touch him until
like 94’ “hip hop started in the West, Ice Cube bailing through the East without a vest”
I’d argue Cubes music has aged amazingly. DC is my 2nd favorite Cube album. His most popular/best selling album was The Predator. AmeriKKKas went platinum too. He has a few massive all time hip hop songs, part of one of the goat groups—and he had a few classic songs in the early 2000s. Cube a certified 🐐 I been on his goat case for years lol

cube was surpassed by tupac when all eyez on me dropped buddy
Im not even saying cube not nice, but he was clearly surpassed when that middle generation of 90s rappers emerged. Like the level of skill advanced significantly after cube, face, g rap etc, and it really shows in the bars.

Pac ain’t in the title and Pacs biggest inspiration in rap was Cube. Literally his idol. He came into the game wanting to sound like Cube. Cube is a top 5 rapper ever. No shame not being better than the top 2 lol u acting like Cube is a bum. He’d wash all current mainstream rappers no question lol
NY niggas do this all the time putting niggas like FAB and Big L over west coach legends
Big l? He better than most west coast legends lyrically
Bumping just cause I was just listening to this and there ain't no way you can convince me there are 5 MC's better than Cube. No way
Yayo was right
maybe if you don’t enjoy Ice Cube’s deeper content and just want to hear gangster raps
but Cube got that too
It’s not that crazy if you’re a true fan of rap from previous eras and can enjoy Cube’s taste in production
but by the same token, Big was literally talking about having friends that rape kids, so if you put Biggie over Cube, you’re looking past a lot of questionable bars
@GameBoi Howd you find this old ass thread lmao
Cubes pen is still top tier
