Notorious B.I.G. - Final Chapter

[sumone 10+ year member]

Horrible.

Only track I won't delete is the one with Twista & Krayzie....just because we all know Bone & the Chi had some static between each other back in the day (Twista/Speedknot/Newsense' "Crook County", Do or Die/Lil' Chilla's "Bustin' Back", Bone's "U Ain't Bone").

KoRn?

I'm fed up with the industry trying to get money just by using B.I.G. & Pac's name.

yea i got both of them. id rather listen to 2pac's me against the world than biggie's ready to die. did u know that biggie bit tupacs style and it showed with ready to die? as soon as pac heard biggies album he thought "oh hell naww this foo bit my style and is rapping about the game i taught him.. im going to have to switch my me against the world album up now.." and he did.. he meant me against the world to be a street album like ready to die was suppose to be. pac was still successful with his me against the world. he owns biggie. the end.

pac is decent . i can listen to his stuff for a long time, but biggy has a charisma that gets you hyped more than pac does.

I'm not sayin' Big was better than Pac. I do like Pac over Biggie, but to dismiss Biggie to only 4 songs throughout his whole career would be preposterous.

Alrighty.

did u know that biggie bit tupacs style and it showed with ready to die?

This just makes no sense. There are similarities in subject matter between the two, but as far as style, they were vastly different. 2Pac was more introspective and socially aware, while Biggie just kicked you in the face with street rhymes. Both of them spoke on the same issues, such as the struggles that are derived from poverty, but they did so in different ways. Biggie was a storyteller a la Big L, while 2Pac was a storyteller a la Rakim.

as soon as pac heard biggies album he thought "oh hell naww this foo bit my style and is rapping about the game i taught him

Again, this makes no sense. Yes, 2Pac claimed he taught Biggie everything he knew, but he also claimed he fu*ked Faith, which everyone knows was a lie. 2Pac all but admitted that most of the shit he said regarding Biggie was a ploy.

im going to have to switch my me against the world album up now.." and he did.. he meant me against the world to be a street album like ready to die was suppose to be.

Now this is just ridiculous, 2Pac didn't change anything. As far as street albums, he had been there, done that. Me Against The World was his transition to becoming a real artist; he developed the capability to speak on social topics and culture in a manner that was both raw and eloquent. It was never supposed to be a street album; hell, the first single was Dear Mama. That was a big risk for him to take at the time - that's the sign of someone maturing and growing as an artist, not someone regressing and saying the same old shit over and over again.

The only thing about Biggie that really influenced 2Pac's style was when he got shot in NY. The paranoia he felt that Biggie was responsible for it became an underlying theme in many of his songs post '94.

pac was still successful with his me against the world. he owns biggie. the end.

Me Against The World went 2x platinum, Ready to Die went 3x platinum. Biggies double LP also sold more than 2Pac's. 2Pac is obviously more successful on an aggregate level, partly because of his early death and the suspicion that surrounded it, and partly because he churned out songs at a fervent rate. If you look at it on a pro rata basis, there were relatively equally successful.

Awesome post Gauntlet.

x2 on their styles, they are totally different. I respect 2Pac as an artist, but I always thought Biggy was a much funner listen.

Biggie is wack. The whole badboy camp is wack. Why in the world people want to listen to him. He only made 2 cd's and hes the best rapper. Yea right.
