Its hard to put him in any top ten because of all the wackness in hip hop, as soon as someone who is remotely lyrical comes around, he gains a bunch of followers and people put that person on a pedestal. He needs someone else in the mainstream to be compared to, maybe a few people. Thats how you separate the greats
"You're basically saying BIG was a great becuase others say it....BIG was average....if he came out today he would not stand out....
Most people who say Biggie was GOAT have not listen to more than 4 songs from duke.
So to answer your question...yes prove to me why you think Big is a great"
1 never said B.I.G. was the GOAT
2.in my earlier statements i said EXACTLY why i prefer B.I.G. to Lupe
3. you say B.I.G. was avererage, i disagree, but what makes Lupe so great? his skills are unquestioned imo, so are canibus, chino xl, keith murray, kool keith, elzhi, rhymefest, but just like Lupe none of are fucking with B.I.G.
hes moving up if his next album delivers you cant knock him. Just bc you dont have that many lyrical dudes in the game like in the 90s doesnt mean lupe isnt as nice as them. Lupe is best in the game right now
LOL at this are you serious? I brought and own both Lupe albums have have his mixtapes so stop with the nonsense. He's not better than NaS or Big so no he is not with the GOATS right now. And no he's not better than Jay or Rakim. The top 10 is locked up homey, some may fall out but Lupe ain't there right now. Also you may feel Lupe is better than Big, doesn't make it reality man. Majority of Hip Hop fans worldwide will not have Lupe over Big, sorry.

So were gonna act like Biggie and Pac didn't have classic albums to changed hiphip and numerous hit records before they died. What classic hiphop albums does Lupe have, matter of fact, what hit records does he have that made a mass impact on rap.I'll wait!
LUPE FIASCO aint nothing but a modern GZA, a second teir mc who is technically proficient but lacking star potential. Yeah i said, dude has not made that impact to justify him being anywhere near Big and Pacs level.

i always end up re-assessing why i like certain rappers when i compare them to lupe.
most niggas just rap about the SAME shit over and over and over again and we praise them for how "well" they did it compared to the next man.
theres only a handful of truly unique mainstream rappers that have broke thru in the last 20 years that are REALLY worth mentioning. lupe is amongst that crowd. everybody else is more or less clones of one another in content and approach.
I'll take the rapper who can stretch hiphop to the masses and bring it to places around the world. It's like saying the street baller who never made to the NBA who is better than Jordan, is better than Jordan who played on the highest level every night. I'll take the dude who does it on the highest level every night, the one who is pushing the artform forward on the highest level. There is a reason why niggas like Biggie and Pac are immortalize and while lesser known dead rappers aren't remembered. It's about the impact you leave!

Oh well we're different b/c I just base it on skill level, content, flow, etc. when I compare rappers. So greatest in terms of most significant impact and greatest in terms of skills, etc. may be different. Just think about recent years, you don't have to have the most refined skill set to make a huge impact. The only skill you need is being able to give the masses the ignorant sh*t they like.
