How did he struggle so much between Nas and Cube? They both have amazing classics and influence, so you OBVIOUSLY use the “bar for bar” metric he LOVES using in other cases, and then you would clearly end up with Nas being the winner. It’s not that hard. Nas is a top 5 rapper while Cube is a top 15.
Only thing I disagree with is that I'd put Nas over Biggie. Mostly because I think Illmatic and IWR go toe to toe with RTD and LAD, and Nas has so many other great albums afterwards like Stillmatic, God's Son, and the King's Disease trilogy.
@@NRobbi42 i love ready to die, but i think illmatic and it was written were better. bar for bar, i think nas was a bit more profound and insightful (not to say biggie wasnt)
@@imanolvides3185 Illmatic might have been more profound, but no rapper has the mic presence of peak Biggie. His cadence, charisma, rhymes, flow and voice just take over the track. If you listen to the beats on ready to die, on their own they're kinda boring simple loops, it's Biggie who really makes the tracks stand out (not to say the beats are whack, just that if a lesser MC had them, they would get stale fast). Plus I feel like he had a lot more variety, could make radio hits (Juicy), club hits (Big Poppa), rhyme galore (The What), emotional rap (Suicidal Thoughts), goofy tracks (just playing), love songs (me and my bitch). While Nas at that time kinda just made similar tracks (all of them great, but not a lot of variety)
I don't think i would be able to put one over the other. They both have classics and Nas dropped some fantastic albums recently but Ready To Die is probably my favorite album of all time. It's tough
The bracket is everything I would've said, but I don't know if I can put Biggie over Nas, considering we didn't have a chance to see how Biggie handled his career, like how Nas was unstoppable in the 1990s & 2000s, but flopped hard in to 2010s. I have the same issue with Big L, they would be higher if they both released more than 1 album and we got to see their full display loke the argument you make with Dr. Dre, since he didn't release enough music to be considered a rapper.
ehh calling Nas unstoppable in the 90s is a stretch. I am was okay, Nastradamus was garbage and the firm album was also kinda dookie. Also I feel like he failed to generate a classic in the 00s, lots of good albums, but non necessarily top class.
@@sagafor11 Most rappers don't make a hip hop classic that will be talked about for decades after their releases. If a rapper manages to make ONE album that people STILL talk about 20-30 years later, then that rapper should consider themselves blessed. He has one definitive classic that always gets brought up when discussing the greatest hip hop albums of all time, and then another two albums that frequently gets brought up (so you could argue they can be considered classics too). If he doesn't end up with another classic in his life, he's still got 1-3 more classic albums than the majority of rappers ever get.

He literally NEVER said Dre wasn’t a rapper AT ALL dipshit, he’s right in saying he barely is one tho because Dre himself has said he’s more comfortable producing than rapping. Everyone in this bracket writes their own lyrics which is something that Dre has NEVER done and isn’t ashamed to admit it. 🤷♂️
Dude Biggie had two albums. Ik his potential was amazing but he is not the GOAT. We can argue all day about what his career could have been, but where it was tragically kneecapped is what it is. And it's not enough to be the GOAT, even if he was showing that potential before he was taken from us.
I got a tough one for him: A Tribe Called Quest or De La Soul? Most of these were easy until the last 10-15 seconds and they were really only 2-3 tough ones in my opinion
No disrespect to B.I.G but with only two albums unfortunately.... there's no way people still have him above a lot of rappers....I'd say a few rappers surpassed him by now.

Feel like if Biggie is in these things he almost always comes out on top. Maybe Nas. Hard for newer artists to compete with their legacy , even though newer artists are out here doing great things and putting out great albums I mean Ready to die is great. One of my top hip hop albums. But I barely play his other two. I’ve listened to way more of other rapper’s discographies

Kinda surprising to me seeing some many people say Nas is way better than Biggie given how ridiculous Ready to Die and Life After Death are. Both are equals in my opinion but I prefer Big's rapping.
Dre is potentially the most important figure in the history of hip hop and how it now sounds, but when you do a top list for RAPPERS he can't really stand near the top, as he didn't write most of his own bars.
I thought the gum chewing sound was him getting his carrot bugs'd. I thought he had an ebon E queen absolutely going nunu from the telletubbies. Thought he was getting some awesome jawsome low key. Kinda bothered by that image ngl.

This isn't trustworthy b/c Melons inherently fall to the left side. Fr tho, the hesitation in Nas over Cube, then no hesitation choosing Ghostface over Cube is sort of baffling, and makes me want a Nas vs Ghost bracket choice. Only Built for Melon Links.

Death Certificate is better anyway.
Also those are great picks for the top 80’s rap albums.
@@Chronicallyaddictedtomusic yes you’re right about dre’s production evolving since..it’s nowhere near his best work & i actually think his production got better on the other NWA albums..but since cube left the rapping was kind of weak…eazy-e & dre’s pen game was definitely lacking…mc ren was alright but nothing that great either….i definitely wouldn’t put straight outta compton in the top 10 or 20 best hip hop albums of all time list but in terms of influencial albums of the 80’s it’s definitely up there…& cube has some of the most iconic lines “with a crime record like charles manson” those kind of raps were unheard of at the time…yes there was schooly d & ice t..who were doing “ gangsta rap” but they sounded more like laid back pimps…while cube sounded like he was actually a gang member…people were surprised when they learned cube was from a good family because of how ruthless he sounded on that album…funny how eazy was the actual gangsta but he had the most high pitched voice
This isn't trustworthy b/c Melons inherently fall to the left side.
Fr tho, the hesitation in Nas over Cube, then no hesitation choosing Ghostface over Cube is sort of baffling, and makes me want a Nas vs Ghost bracket choice. Only Built for Melon Links.
Nas vs Ghostface is a much harder call imo. Cube is an incredibly listenable rapper but he falls behind a lot of the east coast rappers on a technical level.
