Pros: I'll let you figure that out.

Cons: Cons? What Cons?

Nobody has been able to rhyme over like Biggie. The only person that comes close is Jay-Z. This is what makes B.I.G. different he simply bonds with any beat he rhymes to. Some rappers have trouble flowin to some beats but not only does Biggie do it w...ith ease, he has some hard-hittin real lyrics that make you think. You cant be a dumbass and understand his lyrics, only the true rap gurus know what Im talking about. But don't take my word for it. Read more Less

CLASSIC RAP

Pros: a true lyricist

Cons: a little swearing

Personally I am not a huge fan of rap. For the most part, I believe, it is a corrupt form of art filled with posers and wannabes. Yet when it comes to Biggie, its a whole 'nother story. Biggie was one of the greats. His music can be enjoyed by an...yone, from grateful dead (deadhead) fans, led zeppelin fans, art blakey fans, miles davis fans, bob marley fans, to little richard, Frank Sinatra, george clinton, and the beatles fans. All of those can enjoy Bigs music because it has moments where it pertains qualities from each of those styles. I really can't believe that the Rolling Stones didn't have him in their 50 greatest issue. For the most part I agree with their picks yet I think most people would agree that Biggie is far better than artists they picked such as Janis Joplin, The Band, or roy orbinson (whoever he is). Basically Im just trying to say that Biggie was a pioneer in the rap game just like Chuck D and the Run. Every person of all ages, races, and backgrounds can enjoy this late artists work. O yeah, and I cant believe its almost been about 10 years since he came out wth this album. Time sure does fly while listening to surperb music!!! Read more Less
