[QUOTE=Clippersfan86]MUCH more respectable list :cheers: . Top 10 is always debatable but at least half of your list is undisputed. Can't believe a list had Latifah, Master P in the place of greats like NAS, Eminem, KRS and Rakim.[/QUOTE]
Dude has 9 MCs and a DJ. Might as well be a top ten MC list. Em should be on the list tho.
All lists not mentioning Too $hort fail

[QUOTE=moe94]Thread should have been deleted at the first mention of Diddy making BIG. Why couldn't he make another BIG? He tried. Shyne. It worked out horribly. Since then, his artists have failed time and time again. Diddy ate off BIG and that's the end of that.:facepalm[/QUOTE]
Truth. Exactly dude. BIG made Diddy, not the other way around. If there was no BIG Bad Boy wouldn't of risen to the level it was in the 90's and early 00's PERIOD.

exactly... puff was already known for other groups and was a rising star with Uptown before he ever met Biggie...
Mary J was huge when she came out and biggie used small spots with her to heard initially
[QUOTE=moe94]You guys are missing the point. Diddy had a career, sure, but Biggie turned him into THAT guy. Talents like BIG would have been heard regardless of anything. If Diddy passed him, someoned else would have jumped on it quick. It's like you think Eminem would have been nothing without Dre. If someone stumbles upon bag full of cash, it's not like they had anything to do with it being there. They just take it and run with it and thank god every chance they get.[/QUOTE]
Biggie was a loud yelling battle rapper when he came out... His lyrics were nice but he wasnt polished at all and he didnt become polished until Puff worked with him and helped him carve a style that better fit his talent...
you can assume Biggie would have been big anyway if you want to, but that isnt what happened... Puff deserves credit for what he did...

Just fall back...[/QUOTE]
If that's all you got, then you need to just retire. Acting like a retarded 16 year old on the Internet is what's cool these days, nahmean? Redneck? You biting ignorance from Starface now?
This emo thinks it's cool to try and get everyone to hate him when it's just kind of sad. Don't worry, I don't hate ya. Try harder?
