Let me just say...I really forgot how raw Big was.
Forgive me.
So I had to go back and listen to Life After Death for the past four days.
Even with Puff watering him down w/some beats that are mediocore at times, Big still shined.
Big could craft songs that worked on different levels.
Clubs? Check
Streets? Check
Ladies, fellas, average listener to the hip-hop enthusiasts? Check, check, check and check.
Honestly, the only other person who's been able to do that in recent years besides Big...Jay-z.
But, Big laid the blueprint.
Pac did it as well, but had an added dimensions when he mixed in emotion, activism and introspection.
But Big....Big's wordplay and lyricism > Pac's.
Yeah, I said.
It's apple and oranges.
I'm the quintessential Pac fan of course so don't start whining.
