Whats more blaphemous: SAYIN THAT B.I.G. IS THE G.O.A.T. or ILLMATIC IS THE G.O.A.T. HIPHOP ALBUM ?

[_Goldie_]

Neither are blasphemous.

Big is your favorite rapper´s favorite rapper and the same goes for Illmatic. In a time where the greatest rappers to ever live were in the game Biggie and Illmatic stood out from the rest. When jordan retired in 93, he couldve never came back and still be considered the greatest. Biggie isnt my favorite rapper of alltime and Illmatic isnt my favorite album of alltime, but if someone were to say they were I wouldnt see a problem with it..

 

[ohhhla]

^Aren't you the same dude that said 8Ball is better than B.I.G.?

 

[Lab Baby]

Neither, cuz they both have cases.

 

[just.might.b.ok]

cant think of a lot of albums that are better than Illmatic, i know geeks today feel edgy and shit hating on it, but it is classic, probably on of the greatest debut albums.

 

[Brian B.]

Because B.I.G. was at least 3 yrs in Rap Game.

Can you say the same for Len Bias being on the court for that long?

Bias had yrs on the court, but I kno you're referring to the nba.. yet & still, you could still see the talent (Lebron James?)

but I don't get how those who use his death to make a case for goat, shun those who use it as a reason why not cuz his career was cut short

let's say a talent like a Lebron James has 2 great yrs in the NBA & then his career is cut short, do you think analyst would be callin him the goat?

This is an asinine comparison. Please stop.

@Brian B. it's not just talent that made Biggie great, it's influence as well.. how many basketball players openly say that they're influenced by Len Bias in any way?..

 

[mohamed]

comparing music to sports isnt really fair in the first place. I mean in sports its about how many titles and stats but what constitutes a title and stats in music? album sales? because skills are concrete stats

 

[Brian B.]

Ima say this & be thru, not tryna derail this shit

I brought up Len Bias as a reason why untimely deaths are used against you

but obviously there's folks who think its blasphemous to use big's against him for why he's not the goat, cuz there's not enough material over a period of time

 

[mohamed]

arent*

I got my favorites but i dont lame them up by trying too hard to say they are so great. Im secure with what i like. But i dont agree myself, but i dont care. I only speak up when peple mess up their position by tryin too hard.

You're really passive.. I don't think I ever seen you express an clear opinion..

I do if i have an opinion. I just refuse to argue about whose "better" or "worse" in music. Thats a pointless argument. I like who i like, you and whoever like who you like. I dont care. But i aint with tryin to overcompensate and force your opinion. But i understand what this site is about and i let everybody else argue cause i aint tryin to stop the entertainment on here. But i aint gon argue over what i understand is nothing.

lol @ the irony of your view points and your name being "no competition"

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

FACT Big dropped 2 albums wit not one wacc verse and had better lyrics,concepts,stories and songs than rappas wit several albums

 

[mdot]

Big has no case for GOAT. At least to me he's one of the best no doubt.

^Aren't you the same dude that said 8Ball is better than B.I.G.?

yes and i still stand by that

B.I.G. >>>> MJG >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>8Ball

 

[DMTxTHC]

8ball>>>>Biggie

I never heard anybody say that.. then again, I'm sure some of these dudes never heard anybody say TM101 is better than any Em album before me..

 

[jono]

Both are the standards though. Very few MCs should be compared to Big, fewer rap albums should be compared with Illmatic.

You can make a solid case for both. So neither are blasphemous really

 

[T. Sanford]

Illmatic is the most overrated album in music history
