Is Rick Ross the New Biggie?

[Smo-King Locs]

Ro$$ is gonna b doper than Big...Ro$$ got that swagger...That's what separates ya local celebrities from national celebrities, that's what made Pac,Jimi Hendrix, Mike Jackson & Jordan,Rick James,Prince etc., they swag...Ross Swag is Bananas, he's gonna go further than Biggie his flow is better than Biggie, and he only gets better lyrically...Musically Ro$$ Surpassed Biggie...Emcee wise, yea Big is superior... but if u talkin Music, Ro$$ is at a different level...Biggie needed Diddy for the music...

"You should of been a cop fuck hip hop/with that freestyle your bound to get shot" - Biggie on Rick Ross in 94

This comparison held no weight when Ross said it originally before the Diddy Co-sign. And the Diddy Co-sign is not to be taken seriously. He's doing it for Money obviously. Anyone who has studied Hip Hop History knows B.I.G. was one of a kind. His #1 disciple Jay Z has dealt with the comparisons also but atleast Big himself co-signed Jay and pass the torch to him. The only thing they have in common are they were both heavy set. Biggie was way more lyrical than Ross could ever be. Biggie's flow was one of the ILLest ever. Ross flow is so damn repetitve, he never switches it up and every flow damn near sounds the same. Biggie's debut changed the game. Ross Debut though dope didn't even have Impact in the South like that. Ironically they both have 3 #1 albums. Biggie sold 30 Million worldwide, Ross is still under 4 Million WW with 3 LP's and a 4th on the way. Like with the Biggie and Jezzy comparsion. Big's singles outsold Ross's career. The comparison is null and void. There will be no "NEW" Biggie cause there's only one KING. Jay is probably the closet to Frank White but like he said from his own mouth: "It's no Biggie". Ross can only dream of Being on Big's Level. Oh Yea and Biggie wore REAL Versace Shades, no fake shit. With that said, I love Ross production. To me that's the saving grace of his music. Even his new song "Super High". The flow is still repetitve and he's saying nothing but listen to that beat? Love Ricky's beats. But sorry Ross, you need more than a hot beat to be compared to one of if not the GOAT. I'm very happy to see it's uniamous that Ross can not be compared to Big. And for the record:

RTD > Ross Career

LAD > Ross Career

Biggie's cut and paste albums > Ross Career

Biggie's Callabos and Demo > Ross Career

Biggie on his debut "Ready To Die" title: "I told Puffy I wanted my album to be called "Teflon Don" and "Machine Gun Funk" be the 1st single but we changed the title to "Ready To Die" cause that was one of the 1st tracks I recorded for the album and the album ends with my death so again I went with the other title"

Rick Ross new album title: "Teflon Don". SMH, Big is turning over this.

But what if Teflon Don is a true classic......do u think BIG would be rolling in his grave or ROLLING up one in heaven bopping his head to the good music u niggas are ignoring???

Rick Ross isnt close to Biggie but Rick Ross has potential to be a the best from the south

 

[Ham&CheeseHotPoc]

topic should of been called: Does Rick Ross wish he was Biggie? = yes

 

[BackInWhite]

i voted yes
just cuz he a fat nigga talkin that fly shit
that's the only reason i say yes
before you hip hop lovin ass, steve urkel glasses wearin ass niggas start trippin
ross is nowhere near big lyrically
but on the surface biggie was just a fat nigga talkin fly
which is what ross is

 

[young_reezy]

anotha big fat phoney

 

[trACE_evidence]

Both were managed by diddy

Both had very similar delivery

Both had very similar weight

Both had classic albums (Biggie - Ready to Die, Ross - Deeper Than Rap)

etc

Discuss.

Trilla>>>>>>>>Deeper Than Rap

[weezyfgarbage]

sorry but TI being the next Jay-Z (or the southern equivalent) is more valid than this....

 

[StillDreaming]

Trilla>>>>>>>>Deeper Than Rap

Lyrically DTR>>>>>Trilla........production wise it's a toss up, they were both ahead of there time with the beats

 

[StillDreaming]

sorry but TI being the next Jay-Z (or the southern equivalent) is more valid than this....

TI already has a better collection of albums than Jay

 

[Fazeem_Blackall]

if you mean the new big fat phoney, then yes...

This I agree with...

 

[j-boogie the cancer]

This is so direspectful to the dead. Ross at first was trying to make his own lane but teaming up with Diddy only makes this comparsion somewhat a reality. Ross should focus on being real with himself before we start comparing him to a legend. IMO no but with his current actions he looks like he wants to try to be the next Biggie.

 

[And Step]

If you mean the upgrade on a meal in the Wendy's drive thru, then yes.

If you mean lyrically and flow wise.

HHHHHHHhhellllll No!

Ro$$ is gonna b doper than Big...Ro$$ got that swagger...That's what separates ya local celebrities from national celebrities, that's what made Pac,Jimi Hendrix, Mike Jackson & Jordan,Rick James,Prince etc., they swag...Ross Swag is Bananas, he's gonna go further than Biggie his flow is better than Biggie, and he only gets better lyrically...Musically Ro$$ Surpassed Biggie...Emcee wise, yea Big is superior... but if u talkin Music, Ro$$ is at a different level...Biggie needed Diddy for the music...

I strongly disagree with this. You see this ya'll? ^ ^ This is what's wrong wit the rap game also. Crazy fans that think crazy thoughts. No wonder all the other generas of music have passed Rap in appeal. Because WE HAVE BECOME DELUSIONAL. delusionazation leads to a loss of reality and the reality is....Swag dont fuckin rap for you. You think this guy is better than a legend in the game because his swag is cool?????? WTF? GTFOH wit dat bullshit!!Swagger will never upstage talent. I havent heard one ross verse that can compete with either verese from Big's on the "Victory" track let alone all the legendary freestyles, song stealing feats yada yada yada. New boyz got swagger too but I dont hear nobody saying they better than EPMD that's just retarded!! Watch a battle on 106 N park once in a while and you'll also see whats wrong wit rap. Judges that know nothing pickin guys to win batlles talkin about

..... "yeah man, the champion/challenger just got all that swagger and the swagger was on point" ....Neverminding the fact that one or both niggaz iz wack sometimes. And by the way, where was all that swagger when 50 was ebarrassing the bastard!??
