Like f*** today, a large part of Nas and Hov’s prime careers is influenced by him address this s*** op

Op obviously never heard Gorilla Black

Also you mentioned Joey Badass, he’s clearly influenced by Big too

Niggas don’t notice how much biggie bars beanie used on a lot of his songs..

So many rappers do this with Big lines it’s like a whole genre, that’s why op asking this question is so wild

We could make a thread about who the top 5 biggie quote rappers are

Lucki

This guy

Pusha T

Jay and Push

Any rapper post Biggie

Jay Elec?

no biggie no kim. no kim no nicki. no nicki no doja.
biggie gave us dojer

biggie > pac

Drake on omertà actually

Listen to the flow and cadence on both verses and picture em in Biggies voice

hov literally has been d***riding big from the jump lol

Or maybe they were friends and peers in the game who recognized the talent in one another

i was just playing hov my fav rapper

Anyways to OPs point I would argue biggie’s influence is felt all the way down the pipeline. There may not be a lot of direct influence in the sense of imitation but whether it’s the presence, charisma, flow, or s*** even just the inspiration from his music to make people want to rap is definitely there. Probably the poster child for your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper

all good lol
