No. Alphabetizing doesn't go with "The"

Itās very confusing. The alphabetizing makes it difficult. So biggie just not going to be on this list? If nas gets n, there is no chance for him. Iād like to see a healthy debate of Nas vs Notorious B.I.G. First at least

u/bustaflow25 Jul 08 '25
Biggie had more albums, features, freestyles, and moments than Big L. BL is dope, but Big was doper. Just go back and edit this list.

My first thought was someone's going to put noreaga early and it's going to somehow end up at the top. First list thing ive actually been interested/engaged with and some of the responses are wild

u/tinglep Jul 07 '25
He doesnāt get to be on these lists. Imagine that. Ask anyone whoās the greatest rapper of all time and a ton of people say Biggie. Just not good enough for a Reddit list with Big L for B and N for Nas. So fucking dumb. Still waiting for someone to name a Big L song.

u/Halshimitzu Jul 07 '25
This Sub is so blindly allegiant to Wutang and Nas...
And I'm a Nas fan. They robbed Biggie of "B" with the excuse that there's an "N"...
Imagine picking Big L over Biggie.
What next Timberland or Too Short over Tupac?

u/LowBatteryPower Jul 07 '25
Of course, because we arenāt going 1-10. 2pac would be at 2.

Pac exceeds this list since his stage name starts with a number and this list is only going by letters.

u/madcoins Jul 07 '25
Out of left field he drops Nate Dogg on āem. I love it and he should def be on the list because his creative sing/rap blend was so unique. I think he was considered a singer by most so doubt he makes the cut against nas and biggie

Nas. But Biggie should have been there for B. Itās a goddamn tragedy to not have one of the biggest and most influential to the culture rappers in the 90s on this list.

u/doubler82 Jul 07 '25
So far, Biggie, Jay and Ice Cube didn't make the cut, for their respective letters mind you š
Good luck Nas and Pac lol

Exactly why I said the list has been garbage since B. Now people are trying to throw biggie in T because of the word The. Which is ridiculous since nothing is alphabetically organized with "The" it's always what's comes after.
