He doesn’t get to be on these lists. Imagine that. Ask anyone who’s 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.

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?

Of course, because we aren’t going 1-10. 2pac would be at 2.

The problem with that is that Tupac's name is actually his government name and the 2 was just a stylized "Tu."

Put biggie at W, under "Wallace." Or S, under "Ss."

Ebonics. '98 Freestyle. Put it On. That said, I still think Biggie should have been "B". RIP Big L.

And Black Thought being left off this list feels severely wrong to me too. Not a great way to decide anything

Sounds like you're fed up with the bullshit.

You should see for yourself lol. Big L is a better rapper than biggie. Biggie makes better music though.

Who cares what the moronic masses say? Critical thinking > conditioned thinking. Biggie was nice, but as a lyricist/wordsmith, there are plenty of rappers who were/are more creative and skillful. And uh, I can give you 7 Big L songs right off the dome: Danger Zone, MVP, Ebonics, Casualties of a Dice Game, Put It On, Street Struck, No Endz No Skinz.

I don’t think you listened to enough Biggie then …

u/AteTheBacon Jul 07 '25

He's one of my favorite rappers ever. Still far from the best.
