yeah this is about right for me as well

[Lye_Form]

Illmatic got me into hip hop, one of the first CDs i bought (like 3 years after release), i was 7 when it came out

Professor green is the worst rapper in the world ever..ever..ever...and rappers (don't show me a battle video from 2004 or some shit cus i have seen them and he is shit)

Also:

Big L was better than Biggie and Tupac.

[Sonika]

@Sonika - Were you even alive when Illmatic came out?

dont think so, how is that relevant at all though?

it isn't

Was just a question, fuck face

Wasn't having a go, just asking.

Apologies!

Na, it's all right. I guess the sentence structure was a bit off.

I was only 4 when it came out.

Fuck off you're 22! Big ups to you

I can't agree with Big L being better than Biggie though.

Big L has well written intricate rhymes... for two lines (i'm not musically trained in the slightest so don't know what a bar is) but one chunk (two lines) will rarely have fuck all to do with the next chunk.
"Yo once again it's the Big L, that kid who got much props
from killin corrupt cops, with motherfuckin buck shots
So don't step to this, cause I got a live crew
You might be kinda big but they make coffins yo' size too
I was taught wise, I'm known to extort guys
This ain't Cali, it's Harlem ****** we do walkbys
No one can match me, tax me or wax me
If you want me to write you some raps G just ask me
Cause on the shelf is where your LP cold stood
Because it was no good, that shit ain't even go wood
I'm not the type to take sluts out, I just fuck they guts out
Get my nuts out, then break the fuck out
Me being a virgin, that's idiotic
Cause if Big L got the AIDS every cutie in the city got it
Once a ****** tried to stick me for six G's
and I put more holes in his ass than swiss cheese"

Biggie, on the other hand, had well written intricate rhymes that could, as a whole verse or track, be linked up to tell a story.
"Today's agenda
Got the suitcase up in the Sentra
Go to room 112, tell em Blanco sent ya
Deal with strangers
If no money exchanges
I got these kids in ranges
To leave them ****** brainless
All they tote is stainless
You just remain as
Calm as possible, make the deal go thru
If not, here's 12 shots, we know how you do
Please make yo killins clean
Slugs up in between
They eyes, like True Lies
Kill em and flee the scene
Just bring back the coke or the cream
Or else, yo life is on the shelf
We mean this Frank
Them cats we fuckin wit put bombs in yo moms gas tank
Lets get this money baby
They shady, we get shady
Dress up like ladies
And burn em with 30 380's
Then they come to kill our babies
That all out
I got gats that blow the wall out
Clear the mall out
Fuck the fallout
Word is Stretch, I bet they pussy
The seven digits push me
Fuckin real
Here's the deal
I got a hundred bricks, 14-5 a piece
Enough to cop a six, buy the house on the beach
Supply the peeps with Jeeps
Brick a piece
Capiche?
Everybody gettin cream
No one considered the leech
Think about it now, thats damn near 1 point 5
I kill em all I'll be set for life
Frank pay attention
These muthafuckas is henchmen
Renegades, if you die they still get paid
Extra probably, fuck the robbery
I'm the boss
Promise you won't rob em, I promise
But of course you know I had my fingers crossed"

[wolf89]

Big L is definitely better than Tupac though

[noam]

Big L can do story telling

Hey yo, I just left the studio, and it's about 2 in the morn'
I just finished doin a song
Now I'm ready for sleep
But first I want spaghetti to eat
AND THERE'S A good Italian restaurant right up the street
So I jumped in the jeep, stash the heat under the seat
Then I got a beep
My voice is HOARSE, barely can speak
I called back on the cell
It's CODY, mad as hell
He told me to listen well as he started to yell
"I just seen Mike and Ben WIT YA wife and HER friend
And they just got a room in the Holiday Inn"
"It's my wife, you sure?"
"Yeah I'm sure
I saw the whore as soon she walked through the door"
"Yo, say no more, which one?"
"The one in Jersey, son, right over the bridge"
"We GON hurt those hoes"
"And hurt both of them kids"
Now I'm in the Range
Switchin lanes, doin a buck 'n change
I can't wait to touch the lames and them fuckin dames
Reach the destination, grab the heat without no hesitation
These ****** fuckin up my reputation
I saw Coleone holdin the chrome
Ice-grill, lookin like he had a license to kill
And he had somebody else with 'em playin the cup
Lookin like he can't wait to start sprayin shit up
"Yo, who that in the background?"
"It's Tommy Giss"
"Oh, I didn't recognise you with your hat down
Son you ready, we got this whole shit mapped out
I hope you aint scare there's no TIME TO back out"
"Yeah, wo goin to take the backroute
And pull our gats out and throw our mask on
We ain't leavin till everyone's dead and all the cash gone"
"We GONNA get our laugh on when we're through
But right now we got a job to do"
"So let's do it"
Hey yo, I stepped to the deskclerk
Put the gat to her dress-shirt
Told her to listen up before she get hurt
"They just walked in, party of four, two chicks, two males
What room they got?"
She paused and said "212"
Took the steps now I'm out of breath
I gotta stop smokin
Them cigarettes goin be the cause of my death
My heart beatin fast now, cause it's about to pop off
Saw the door, let the glock off, tore the lock off
Took a deep breath, then ran inside at a quick PACE
I felt disgraced, I should've shot the bitch in HER face
Then my other two ****** ran in
Each had a cannon
Ready to take care, WHAT WE BEEN PLANNIN
"These two crab cats, we know they hustle upstate"
We know they got stacks
Cause they don't F*CK with nothin but weight
We got the cuffs and the ducktape and put it to use
Then told 'em when this is over WE'LL be lettin 'em loose
"Hey man, I kicked Mike in his face and watched his head jerk back,
You wanna live THEN tell my ****** where YOU stash THE WORK at"
He gave me the address then I ran outside
But first I took the keys to his van outside
And when I got there, I found 50 keys in a stash
A 100 pound of grass, and 2 million in cash
I was dumb glad
The shit didn't fit in one bag
So I got three, filled 'em all up to the TEE
And put the bags in the van, then I locked the truck
When I got back, CODY done popped them punks
"Hey yo', fuck it L, we might as well pop these studs"
Now that's four bodies
Two outta-towners and two hotties
And after that we ain't sleep for three days
We hit the PJ's, split the money threeways
Now we all laughin hard, gettin nice and weeded
Celebratin ******, heist completed

but yeh, Biggie is the undisputed king of storytellin, no doubt about it

L is better tho

[Laszlo]

Big L is definitely better than Tupac though

Hmmm, perhaps but I wouldn't go so far as to say definitely.

Pac was sort of in between L and Biggie in regard to the points in my last post. He could link rhymes together for longer than L but never really had individual rhymes that made you go 'oooooo' like L did.
Pac was a true inspiration though and that goes a long way in my book.

It's up for discussion though whereas Biggie vs Big L isn't, imo.


Edit - strong point there Noam. I'd forgotten Casualties of a Dice Game.

Still think Biggie has the edge though.

[dubstepper]

I dont find Rihanna attractive in any way

wow i am fucking gob smacked and very happy to find i'm not the only person that finds her a bit ugly at best ok.
don't get me wrong her body is alright, tits are bit small and are not very interesting.
i mean i'd fuck her but i'd have to bag her head first.

[noam]

ye i mean The Heist is like, kinda dry lyrically but he tells a story with delivery

and his one liners and puns are pure bodybag material

mainly his flow and delivery is just impeccable

[dubfordessert]

people in rarely unanimously agree on the physical attractiveness of a single person shocker.

[Laszlo]

Oh fuck, it's The Heist

Yeah the one liners and puns are dope -
"I got styles you can't copy bitch, it's the triple six
in the mix, straight from H-E-double-hockey sticks "

agreed on that. Obviously Big L is sick but it's the (usual) lack of structural cohesion that lets him down in my book.
His body of work only spans a few years which is sad, but then, so does Biggie's....

All three had amazing skill (imo. I think Tupac was very good. A lot of people on here don't) but Biggie was the best all-rounder.
That's what I reckon.

tits are bit small and are not very interesting.

...what? Would you like her to have a small screen fitted in them or something? Maybe have her show 'Human Planet'...?
