i've been debating kane's superiority over rakim -- for a number of reasons -- with hip hop heads for 15 years bro lol.
biggie was dope, no doubt about it, but not top 5 material. i remember the morning big died, it was a sunday, and i got a phone call at about 8:30 am from my boy and he was almost tearful as he said "yo, they killed biggie smalls" - like most people, he took it quite personally which kind of weird...
the only musicians i was ever upset about dying were freddie mercury and kurt cobain.

Soo dont give me this hiphop is dead shit... People are still out there still trying to express actual meaningfull messanges, you just have to look a bit harder. |
meaningful messages don't necessarily translate into quality hip hop, but tight flows and dope beats always do. mainstream rap has dope beats, but the level of rapping is beyond abysmal, consisting almost solely of grunting barbarians from the south and southwest.
indie hiphop, favored by the backpack set and represented by guys like mf doom and his ilk, is ultimately just 'ok' and never rises too far above mediocrity. hip hop is on life support.
