Who Had a Greater Impact on HipHop Culture Eazy-E or Biggie???

[Aquafinafloe]

ima a westcoast baby however i couldnt even vote on this one..lol how can you take two great minds wit 2 very diffrent views on life and how to live it and compare saying who is better? l0l its like saying who is better this muslim or this christian? they have differnt views on the way of life rules structures, ways of obiedience but when it comes down to it they are both in acts of pleaseing god and worshiping him.....this whole eastcoast v.s westcoast things is realy rediculouse in my point of view both sides changed and had a huge impact on what hip hop or rap was...it just soo happend that the eastcoast started jamin out first..westcoast caught on a lil bit later but had thier own view on how to "jam" out..please tupac was a westcoast legend and so was biggie..i geuss yall got yall jayz and now and westcoast has thier "nwa" trail along with other great westcoats minds tech nine...x raided loc yes eazy E i geuss the westcoast does not try to implement going real far with rap and hiphop as far the eastcoast does..i mean how could they if they have this crazy label of bieng weak from other sides of the country...lmaooo i geuss that gangsta rap doesnt realy belong to the westcoast huu...since the east coast looks at that as also as "hustlin" music...both sides played a realy big important role on shaping what and how hip hop came to be today so please stop all this "im better" than you non sense cause it only makes u look closed and narrow minded...try bieng openminded for a change u may learn something new..

only people that say biggie have nothing to back it up and are either fully out the closet groupie or metro-bisexual stans...

what about the ones who claim to despise him so much while they OBVIOUSLY spend every waking moment trying to figure out a new way to relive their sheer lust for him by creating the same thread over & over & over & over?

THEY seem oddly transfixed on his sexual proclivities because of rhymes big spit before the no homo era when men where men & didn't feel the intense gravitational pull of havin' to remind everyone every 3 seconds about where they want them to believe they put their dick.. which is insanely homosexual in of itself..

what about them?

let me echo what some else said earlier. no eazy=no nwa, no d.o.c., no dre dre, no ice cibe, no friday lol, no death row, no eminem, no 50 cent, no lyod banks, no bone thugs in harmony etc. the only difference is they hated eazy and killed him while they love biggie and kilt him too. it was like eazy's son was saying when he was trying to get signed. he said he had to tell the labels about his dad. even though he was popular he is one of the ones that they dont care if he gets written out of history. you had alot of pioneers outside of ny who dont ever get love. it really is just disrespectful to even make this thread though. you have to remeber that biggie died with one album and a couple of side tracks. i dont recall people calling him the greatest rapper before he did. i thought it just became popular after canibus said it in second round knock out. its something said to pay homage to biggie after he died as a term of endearment, not a literal thing. bigs impact? tell us his impact. how did he change the game for better or worse.

Jerry Heller had much more of an impact on hip-hop than E-Z.

Eazy-E>BIG

father of gangsta rap. and he is just more entertaining than biggie i'm not talking lyrics

 

[bigrizz]

Easy didnt write his rhymes but he made rap groups relevent, He helped usher in gangsta rap, and he gave the blueprint for fucking over your artists. Wasnt ruthless like the first succesful west coast record label?

It is funny that the most hardcore Biggie Supporters in this thread have named nothing and are a open Homo and a guy who calls himself pretty. It seems that only the ignorant, confused and delusional can say that Biggie had more Impact on HipHop Culture then Eazy-E...

 

[Pretty Fred]

Lets look at it like this, for all you slow cats, terrorist, & crack heads:

Who are the biggest well known rap artist in the game today, right now?

1. Nicki Minaj (a Lil Kim knock-off, Big's side piece who he launched into stardom)

2. Rick Ross (a guy you calls himself Biggie Smalls reincarnated)

3. Jay-Z (close friend of Biggie Smalls, King of NY after Big died)

whos Eazy E again?

O that guy with the jeri curls who had aids that couldn't rap to save his life, o right, I see why some look up to him or think he has impacted the game.

Who said terrorist were smart anyway?

eazy e aint mimic ice-t or schooly d for his style. no one even makes that claim. his background on the streets of the cpt are well known. the stuff he rapped about, he did. hence the gangster in gangster rap.
nwa and the posse came out 6 days after ice-t's rhyme pays. certainly not enough time to bite someones style and make a record out of it. eazy-e did boyz in the hood back in '86 which was a gangsta record. 6 in the morn came out in 86 as well but i dont know which dropped first. even if 6 in the morn dropped first i would have to see some sort of evidence that eazy took his style from that record. there is none i know. people like mentioning those 2 records you did when trying to pin point who started gangster rap. i have seen it discussed continuously. stop trying to re-write history so biggie can have a greater slice than he deserves. its bad enough people still running around calling him the greatest. even if what you said about them bitin other people, eazy still had a bigger impact that big! i'm still waiting to see what impact big had. its like yous been lied to for the past 10 years to the point where a thread like this can be made and it can be taken seriously. get real my dude! this aint about who started gangsta rap either, its about who had the biggest impact out of eazy and big. if this thread was done about game and krs-1 people would be outraged. yet when it's a west coast veteran who no one cares about you expect us to sit back and not set you straight? c'mon son! if you studying rap history just roll where it takes you. don't take out the eraser and start making changes.

only because the person who controls biggies catalog is till around. diddy. associating biggie with newcomers was a smart move on dddy's part. the youth will run out and buy rick ross, nikki and biggie too. that dont mean his impact was greater than eazy's. it means people have found away to market a past artist to a new generation. try to come up with better analogy.

you have to put that in its proper context too. we are talking about the mid and late 80's. eazy-e was helping make hip hop itself relevant. thats why i dont get how this can seriously be asked. anyone back then doing it desrves props. they helped give the world rap music in a time where most people was against it and they were trying to stop it. to a certain extent much of the ground work has been done and there isnt too much a newer artist could ever do to to surpass past achievements rappers have already accomplished. i think people need to focus more on eazy e the business man rather than the gangster rapper or the person who died of aids. i dont like big but this aint about hate. dude just gets too much props and soo many other rappers dont get none. im tired of hearing about big, pac, jaz-z, eminem and lil wayne. im even tired of hearing about east coast veterans who aint do half of what eazy did.

But if Big didnt have such an impact on the game, why would people even care that hes the "new" Big?

exactly.

And no one is marketing Big fool, they are using his likeness to create shock and controversy.

Is Diddy pushing a new Big single.

I didn't think so.

NEXT!

 

[Pretty Fred]

Last time I checked the biggest act in Hip Hop is Eminem. Rick Ross isn't a bigger artist than 50 Cent.

Eminem got his start from Dre who got his start in hip hop from Eazy. 50 Cent from Em who got it from Dre who got it from Eazy. You're conveniently distorting facts to make your claim look better. Jay-Z was rapping before Biggie was, Biggie's death helped him, so if there was no Biggie, Jay-Z would still have a career.

Biggie's impact is miniscule in the grand scheme of things.

You act like Eazy brought Dre into music which is FALSE.

Dre been making music before he linked with E-Z.

So there goes your Dre, Eminem, 50, 7 degrees of seperation boosh*t.

Yes Jay would have a career, great choice of words b/c without Big Jay would be nothing to what he is today.

 

[Fazeem_Blackall]

I just cannot take any male that calls himself Pretty seriously, especially when the out the closet Kat keeps cosigning his points, it would make sense that gender confused men stick together having Biggie and eminem as their favorites and irrationally stan for them...
