Smooth Operator 10 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Empire state of mind stands out for me. There's a documentary on BBC 1 tonight at 11.45 on him not sure if it's a repeat or not but probably is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 11th number one album in a row? Anyone listened to it yet? Is he still trying to be Notorious B.I.G? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) Empire state of mind stands out for me. Thought so after the first listen too. More down to the production (what's the string sample?) and Alicia Keys like. Edited September 19, 2009 by Happy Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hova Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 11th number one album in a row? Anyone listened to it yet? Is he still trying to be Notorious B.I.G? No, because people have heard of him whilst he's still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because people have heard of him whilst he's still alive. Pretty sure by the time Biggie died he was arguably the biggest name in hip-hop like. That and Jay-Z could never release an album anywhere near as good as Ready 2 Die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hova Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 If you haven't heard, I'm Michael Magic and Bird all rolled in one - cause none got more flows than Young Plus got more flows to come And if I ain't better than Big, I'm the closest one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and Jay-Z could never release an album anywhere near as good as Ready 2 Die. By the end of the year, Wallace was the top-selling male solo artist and rapper on the U.S. pop and R&B charts. In July 1995, he appeared on the cover of The Source with the caption "The King of New York Takes Over". At the Source Awards, he was named Best New Artist (Solo), Lyricist of the Year, Live Performer of the Year, and his debut Album of the Year. At the Billboard Awards, he was Rap Artist of the Year.

And? I'm as much of a biggie fan as any hip-hop fan, I know how good he was, but he didn't have the career Jay-Z has had because he's dead I don't know if you've ever seen Fade To Black but if you haven't, you should watch it.

I'm sure if you asked anyone musically who had the better career all would say Biggie simply due to the quality of his material rather than the quantity and his ability to crossover if you will.

Happy Face 29 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Again, and? Many people hadn't heard of him, fact. I've never even heard of the source awards. And I was just confirming what 2J said. People had heard of Biggie when he died and he was widely regarded as the best. I've never even listened to the bloke so I've got no opinion of how Jay Zed compares. Personally I prefer Chuck D to all of em. The Source was the pre-eminent hip-hop mag for 20+ years...until their feud with Eminem and Fiddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never really gave the much credibility, especially as they were NY based and were obviously biased during the whole East/West feud. But the Source awards were a massive event around the time. Whenever I think of the Source awards though I immediately think of Suge Knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
