Which is the general opinion as to why biggie with 2 albums is the greatest, because he was better lyrically than anyone out?

Even more lyrical than rakim?

Is lyricism only judged based on technical presentation? Passion and heart story telling and weaving plots doesn't factor in? Something pac did 10 times better than biggie.

Where u at son

1. I never said Biggie was the greatest. And I never would.

2. Rakim is the reason KRS-One's style was outdated. Rakim was lyricism distilled to its bare bones. He struggled when he tried to be more than that, specifically as an angry, overtly violent, weirdly military-based mess of internal rhymes on "Casualties of War" and some other songs on Don't Sweat the Technique.

3. Passion and heart literally are not lyricism.

4. 2Pac's stories were basic and driven entirely by emotion. Biggie told stories better than 2Pac, even if 2Pac might have told better stories. And 2Pac did not tell better stories than Biggie.
