Those words aren't true, not in his case. Biggie is the best lyricist ever, dead or alive. His talent was real and raw, and not deified after death. Unlike Tupac, B. He left a legacy of lyrics beyond contemporary comparison. He is often imitated Shyne , but never duplicated. The same cannot be said of the countless, somewhat convincing Tupac clones. Biggie's timelessness, and the contagious positivity of his music, is precisely why he remains the greatest of all time.
By John Haltiwanger. Search Close. The image is very stripped down, you only see his face. The fact that he died made the symbolism stronger. He had to die for this image to have that symbolism. The king sacrificed. Would Jay-Z be as relevant as he is now? Would Puff Daddy not have fallen off the way he has? Would Biggie have linked up with Kanye? Would he have made a record with Rick Rubin? Would Biggie and Faith Evans have made an actual duets album like the one his widow is releasing posthumously sometime this year?
I believe the Notorious B. There was a frenzy at my high school, arguing and talking about that album. We used to spend hours in the car, reciting his raps, trying to figure out what in the hell made him veer off in this way or that way. He was a master painter with words. And his flow was just so effortless. It was a conversation. When Ready to Die dropped, it was still a competitive race for Big. You could have arguments about who was better with the Wu-Tang fanatics or the Nas fans.
But by the summer after that, he left the pack in the marathon.
