Re: 10 Years already/Miss Ya B.I.G.

like i said , he had the most raw talent of any rapper

I don't think that's true at all. I don't think he was even top 3 of NY at the time. Big L, Nas (Illmatic Nas), and Ghost/Rae were doing better at the time.

Not to mention his completely fake image, but then again, that goes for 90% of the rappers.

What do you mean fake image? Was he Ja Rule or something?

It's amazing how much hate people have when there opnion is not the same.

Re: 10 Years already/Miss Ya B.I.G.

what are you a backpacker . i aint going to argue about stupid crap like rap knowledge cuz its all opinion for the most part.


eric b was a phony or so thats the rumor . dj anyways , not a rapper and run dmc . just cause your one of the first to do something doesnt mean your great at it . run dmc was whatevers. pioneers yes but i dont think they are that great.

nwa was great but no one but ice cube was really that great of a rapper . biggie could tell a story , he was versatile had , great wordplay , sick flow ,good lyricist . not even a handful of rappers have the skills that he had . like i said , he had the most raw talent of any rapper.

I actually agree with you about run dmc. I've never liked their lyrics or flow.

Probably the image that he grew up poor and had to hustle for everything.

Thats not a image thats the truth. Where he grew up in Brooklyn is not the greatest area.

Re: 10 Years already/Miss Ya B.I.G.

Re: 10 Years already/Miss Ya B.I.G.

I know alot of you on here think biggie isn't a great rapper and everyone is entitiled to their opinion, but my point is he died to early. Nas dropped his first album in 94, the same year as B.I.G.. Since Big died, Nas has had 6 albums released. I agree that life after death wasn't the greatest album, but if he was still alive he would of had alot more albums released and that would of made it easier to determine his status among hip hop legends. 2pac first 2 albums wasn't his greatest. Pac's albums actually got better album to album. You know this all opinon based. I mean some little kid toady can say young Jeezy is the greatest rapper and I would strongly disagree, but you can't say that kid is wrong, b/c its all opinion, just like when people talk about the best sports teams ever.

In the early to mid 90's you had so many good rappers, example: Rakim, Nas, Jay-z, Mobb Deep,Krs-One, Gang Starr, Wu-Tang, Scarface, Snoop, Dr Dre, Ice Cube, Nine and many others . Hip hop today sucks, I thought it was b/c I was getting older, but the lyrics and beats are so played out. There are a few good songs here and there, but as a whole Rap is going down the tubes. After B.I.G. and Pac died the whole Master P dirty south revolution started and thats where rap went into the whole I got bling bling and have 20's on my ride phase. Make ya say uh is one of the worst songs ever. How can a guy make millions of a song that sounds like he is taking a s*** is amazing.


R.I.P. Big **** all that haters without you and others hip hop wouldn't be here today.

I have to disagree with your statement that Hip-Hop today sucks.. you just have to dig a little harder to find real music. Anything you hear on the radio or television IMO will probably suck true.. but do a little searching and you'll find that there is still a lot of great hip-hop music being made today.

Re: 10 Years already/Miss Ya B.I.G.

I have felt that Hip-Hop has been going down hill for a while now. Just read this article recently about how Hip-Hop sales are struggling. I think a lot of people are getting tired of the constant negativity it portrays. Back when NWA first came out, it was something different. Loved them and Ice-T.

Now it all (most of it) sounds the same. Not very much originality at all.

Though I'm not sure if I agree with you.. to me "downhill" and "sucks" are two completely different things.

That article seems to be really popular. I've seen it in the newspapers here, floating around the internet etc. The only thing wrong with hip-hop is that the people who control the radio stations and tv choose to only play the same type of songs over and over again.

No offense but I have no idea how anybody can like Ice-T. That guy was one of the worst rappers I've ever heard. "Cop Killer" was hilarious though.

The same can be said about the other mainstream genres as well.

Yup. Every genre of music has mainstream artists who sound the same. Radio execs take what's popular at the moment and then flood the stations with it until it gets old and they find something new to exploit.

Ice-T is one of the pioneers of Gangsta Rap. First 3 albums are great, but you probably were not born then or not old enough to listen. 6' in the morning is a classic.

One of the few rappers that I listened to was Ice-T. I've never been big into rap, but won't deny that it exists. I have my favorites in rap that I respect for what they have done music wise.

Not only are Hip-Hop sales down, but ALL genres are down. The entire music industry is in the toliet and no one cares to make changes. They just want to ride things out and hope it straightens itself out.

IMO, the biggest reason sales are slow across the board is that no exec at a major wants to take a risk.
