Where's Biggie and Mac Dre?

It says right in the first paragraph that Biggie didn't have enough material to be included in this comparison. Also the Tribe is in there too, right in the middle.

This list is bullshizzle. Where's Q-Tip and Phife? Where's Biggie and Mac Dre?

There's a difference between knowing a lot of words and being a wordsmith. Mac Dre may have only known the words 'pimp,' 'bitch,' and 'steal,' but he damn sure knew how to put them together. I don't know anybody that can put words together better than he can.

The same can be said of B.I.G. He didn't have a deep list of topics to discuss, but he was real.

That's a dope album. its got some bangers on it, 3000 and on production are my stand out tracks, i reckon i prefer the return of dr octogon though. Its a more complete album.
I'm a collector of keiths stuff.
I like the commissioner. Its raw. I like raw, there's something elementary about it. I find it challenging, both lyrically and production wise. Its something i could probably bang out from home, but somehow, it wouldn't be as goood as keiths sh!t.

I reckon Keith gets into the top 3 cuz he's got more words for sh!t than the eskimos have for snow. :-D. I do love Keith though. Whenever i play his stuff to non hip hop heads or people who like drake etc, they're like WTF??

You said it. Do you get better than 'Dr. Octagon'?

Interesting stuff.
Not necessarily meaning that a large vocabulary equals a positive music experience (in my opinion of course).

Yea, I saw this on reddit the other day. Pretty awesome. While it was loading on my phone I mouthed "I bet Aesop Rock is No. 1" and sure enough lol. He needs to add the P to the project.....I'd like to think they'd stack up pretty well against the competish.....

Wow, that is an awesome idea - thanks for sharing that.

Before I read the chart I thought "Wu-Tang's gonna dominate"...and they did, haha.
