R*I*P Christopher Wallace aka Notorious B.I.G.

I dont think its safe to say Biggie is in any way the best rapper/ lyricist simply because he only had a few hits and none of his songs helped anything. Tupac at least made a "Keep ya Head Up" every once in a while and made a bunch of hits in his handful of years as a mainstream rapper (and he was in jail for a year or two) and he remains a dominant rapper even after his death. Best rapper or lyricist has to go to Tupac or Chuck D or someone who made a ton of hits and helped Hip-hop or the black community. Also, We all must remember that "artists" are usually only considered the best of their genre after their death.
 
Biggie was decent back in the day but you knuckleheads that have to circle the day he died on your calendars every year crack me up.
Like 2Pac said "Life Goes On"....
 
[quote name='alonzomourning23']Someone made the point about dimebag darryl, everyone had respect for him when he died. If I remember correctly, someone made a joke and a bunch of people got pissed off. This is the opposite here.

Though, unlike biggie, some of tupacs songs actually had a very good message. Off the top of my head there's- changes, life goes on, unconditional love, and ones about respecting women- keep ya head up, papa'z song, brenda's got a baby, dear mama. Sure some, particularly california love, is exactly what I hate about hip hop, but many of his songs have something more than most other rappers, including biggie.

For all the respect dimebag got, I don't think he wrote any songs with a positive social message.[/quote]
