Side story: I had just come off of a two-year hiatus from writing, and one of my first assignments was to give my case as to why Biggie Smalls was the greatest rapper of all time. Some 200+ comments later, Meka Soul was born (check the transformation in that section). Enjoy!

an album or 2 more of that fire and i would give him the top spot. I know opinions are like buttholes, but i cant see why so many ppl shit on Ready 2 Die as an average to wack cd.
oh yea the atricle was fire, i remember reading it and ur shitting on the C-boywas hilarious. eThugs get so emotional
real talk, i had never been exposed to the “other side” of comments before, so when i started catching flak, i fired right back at them. funny thing is, a month later the blog section was created and i was the 1st one down. that’s how life works, i suppose.
so the time i came around DX for the first time is when everything got poppin. Good timing.
i credit this story with re-jumping my interest in music journalism. this shit means a lot to me, more than any other blog, album review, interview or editorial. extra shouts to the editors & shakes for this one, for real.
wooooord up. i might flash this on dx … throwback status
that article opens up a huge debate. i see what you are speaking of regarding longevity in the game but there are so many more arguments that can be made supporting the fact that he is one of the best. (everyone’s top 5 is a little different) but talk bout longevity? im still bumpin his ish 11 yrs later!!! i could go on but you know what im saying. personally, i think he is up there as the best. i catch new phrases or metaphors or something everytime i listen. i completely agree w/ the intro, bout craig mack. imgaine?? gulp hahhaha RIP BIG the real King of NY!!!
post it up shake. :)
