Floyd is engaged to another stripper

thats actually a good entry for the memorable opening lines topic

 

"Ready to Die" has Most Certainly Aged Well, Bruh...

"Ready to Die" Showcases Biggie's Skill Level, Wordplay and Knack for Saying UNCOMFORTABLE Ass Shit in a Way That Leaves You Nodding Your Head, Marveled by his Delivery, Nonetheless...

REED Listens to "Ready to Die" 2-3 Times a Year, Minimum...

REED's an Outlier in the Souf', Because he's Always Rated Biggie Higher Than 'Pac...Not Even Close, Honestly...& That's a VERY Unpopular Opinion in REED's Neck of the Woods...

'Pac was More Message Oriented, More Conscious and Charismatic, Better Looking...'Pac's the Rapper You Want LEADING a Movement...But on a BASE Level, Rhyme for Rhyme, Biggie was BETTER...

People were Wow'ed by WHAT 'Pac Said...People were Wow'ed by HOW Biggie Said WHAT he Said...





REED

 

No WRONG Answer in a Rakim-Kane Debate...Ra's VOICE is the Difference for REED...

Probably the Most DISTINCTIVE Rhyming Voice Ever...




REED

 

I wouldn’t really say that’s the case. Pac’s voice and delivery was a lot of his appeal. For instance,

“Even as a crack fiend, mama, you always was a black queen, mama”

Most rappers wouldn’t have the same effect with just those lines. But he had a great voice and delivered lyrics in a way to connect with listeners. There’s no real standout lyrics in “Pain”, it’s all about voice and delivery.

I think they both had a lot of charisma/mic presence, but Biggie was definitely the more skilled technical MC with his flows and rhyme schemes.

 

Agree to Disagree...

No One Else was Really SAYING That Type of Shit When 'Pac Was...'Pac Had His "Bitches and Ho's" Rhymes, but he was Always MORE Aware of Female Listeners Than his Contemporaries...

100% in Agreement on Biggie...




REED

 

Yeah its called pole position. Lol

 

I can think of one KRS-ONE ???

 

Leather face

 

Thats my shit. I think that was from "Yeah Baby."

My favorite track on Cap Punishment was "Boomerang"

 

You Ain’t a Killer was nuts. So was Dream Shatterer. Pun the Pistol Whipper had skills.

 

Pun was a beast.

 

I prefer him to Big.

 

Damn, Biggie, Big L, and Big Pun all died after making just two albums (not including all those manufactured albums that get made with leftover verses)

L should have kept off the streets and away from the dirt his brothers were doing. He got Street Struck himself.

 

All Black is my favorite L song. By far.

 

I remember playing the old Wrestlemania 2000 game on the Nintendo 64 and one of the menu themes sounded familiar:



Sure enough it was some PG version of All Black

 

Im from Cali but my boy Franco and workout partner introduced me to big pun. I was like damn that shit is hard .

 

Best pun song is beware

 

I slam you on your skull or we can go blow-for-blow like Evander and Bowe.

 

I still remember Zab saying “Kostya Tszyu’s defense has more holes than Swiss cheese”. And then he ended up looking like he did in that City High video when that fine ass chick knocks him out.

Danger Zone is probably by #1.

 

Favourite L joint has to be Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous.

 

"No Endz, No Skinz" is another L joint I always loved.

 

Most of the songs off Lifestylez were good. The posse cuts too, 8 is Enuff with Killa Cam and a bunch of others, Da Graveyard with Jay-Z and a couple of others.

L had a few good ones with Children of the Corn also. His verse on Harlem Nights.

 

I got styles you can't copy bitch, it's the triple six, in the mix, straight from H E double hockey sticks.

 

Speaking of NY bangers, what happen to these dudes:



One album and then they disappeared

 

I understand if he bangs strippers but why get married...is he a romantic or something

 

Probably a girl he can control. Abusers love control.

 

Been listening to a few songs off Lifestyles and Devil’s Son repeatedly in the last day because of this thread.

A lot of his freestyles/radio appearances were really good too, especially Stretch and Bobbito. The 95’ one was the one with Jay z.

 

I always thought Gang Starr was sick.

 

Lord finesse just put out a remastered version of The Awakening for its 25th year anniversary.

 

L had some really good stuff outside his albums also. Devil’s Son is in my top 3, and Times is Hard on the Boulevard is a favorite of mine too. And some of the stuff he did with Children of the Corn.
