Biggie rates a bunch of rappers

[Amaretto]

I found an old article with Biggie Smalls rating some rapper, doesn't seem he had much luv for Spice 1 and E-40.. hehe

This was a question answer session Biggie did with the audience askin'
questions. It was in a free magazine called Peace! This is how he rated
the rappers asked.

Redman: The new Redman!?! Seven. I can't dis him cuase I know he got
skills. He get busy on the lyrics but i can't feel his new sh!t, his new
cosmic crazy sh!t. I'm used to the clean cut blowout fly ni99a. When I met
the ni99a he was a fly ni99a, you know what I'm sayin', now he on some
different sh!t. I really don't like when a rapper come out and they blow
up the way they are and they come out again on some changed up sh!t. To
me, that's like getting some good coke from poppy and then getting some
money and then be like,'**** that! I'm getting some more 45ths, some brown
sh!t and then bag that up.' Why would you change your plan? That's what he
did to me.

E-40: No rating! Zero! I don't fukk with duke at all. At all.

Too $hort: Ten. That's my dog right there. I love that ni99a. That's my
man. The calibre of sh!t he got. Cocktails sh!t, i ain't got to see that
sh!t yet. I know that sh!t is hot! I was with him in Atlanta and we were
just kickin' it and sh!t. That's my dog. I love that man.

Spice 1: Zero. I don't like that guy at all.

Craig Mack: I don't really like him too much either, dog. I can't give him
a zero though 'cause he got some hot **** but like five...four, since he
on some different sh!t, some sh!t I can't relate to. I'm from the hood, he
from the suburbs so it's completely different sh!t. I don't really like
the music too much. I like the beats but that (scats) it's not rhymes for
me, it's just some prety kid ****.

Eiht: I like Eiht's sh!t. I give Eiht like an eight. He got some hard
sh!t, some real sh!t.

DJ Quick: I like the sh!t on the soundtrack. That's sh!t is hot. I give
him a seven...six.

Snoop Doggy Dogg: Snoopy??? I like Snoop. I give him like an eight. I like
his sh!t.

He sits and reflects on what we have asked and offers, "I'm into fly pimp,
straight flat sh!t. I don't like no ni99a that I have to decipher but some
ni99a that I done dicipher I give a ten...Nas, I give Jeru a ten, I give
ummmmm?....

(Someone shouts out KRS-One.)

KRS-One: KRS-One?? Naahhh...I don't like KRS no more 'cause he just think
he's too dope. He let his ego take over his sh!t and that's what brings
him down. When he was like that (shouts "Blow it to yorself"), when he was
like that, then he was a ten but now, 'I am Hip Hop'!!! Eat a d!ck ni99a.
Eat a muthaphukkin' dikk!

Guru: Premier??? Umm...who else I give a ten too? I like Keith. Keith's
sh!t is hot.

Outkast: I like them too...six...seven.

Big Mike: Six...Seven

Scarface: Seven...eight. He got some hard sh!t. Face got some hard sh!t.

 

[Amaretto]

R.A. The Rugged One: The white boy??!! The one that I did the jam with???
That's who you talkin' about? Two...might be a three, I did the song, they
paid me a lot of money, that's why I did it. The beat was knockin'.

Dr.Dre & Ed Lover: Those are my boys. I just like them ni99a, know what
I'm sayin'. You don't rate ni99as. I just like them ni99as. They just friends.

Cypress Hill: I used to like them. The first, sh!t, that first "How i can
just kill a man" joint, I was liking that but that new age smoke out
sh!t...fukk it!

New Kingdom: Who? Never heard of them.

Da Brat: I like Da Brat. I like her sh!t. I give her a nice six. She ain't
the dopest female MC but I like her single. I like how she comin'.

The topic of females MC's arrives and Biggie Speaks. "The dopest female MC
that has a record deal that's out right now is Rage, but my Mc that's
coming out, Little Kim, is the dopest female MC that's coming out ever. Ever.
She gets busy like a ni99a that's why I like her style. Hard sh!t! She
speaks on suckin d!cks...,shooting ni99as, real sh!t that real b!tches do
that they are just scared to talk about, just how I came out, on some real
sh!t."

Naughty By Nature: I like all of 'em. I got a relationship with Treach. I
got a relationship with Vinnie and I got a relationship with K, but you
know what I'm sayin', the music itself it seems that they just wanna make
that one hit. Once they got that one hit everything else don't count.
That's why I can't dig that. I want a ***** that's gonna be like, 'Yo, I
heard an album that's like nine joints I like three, I like maybe the
single, the remix. I don't want no album like that.

Coolio: I like that new joint, "Mama I'm In love with a Gangsta". I like
that joint. I just like them hard ni99as, them ni99as that just be leveled
out.

Ice Cube: The old one or the new one? Kickiyaya???? It's not the same
sh!t. It's like ni99as is changing too much for me and I can't keep the
love. I respect the ni99a because I know back in the day he used to do
his thing so I can't dis him but the new sh!t right now is...

 

[Amaretto]

The topic of quitting before the game gets up on you is put on the table.

"I quit before it get on me like that dog!! I know my ni99as keep it real.
My ni99as be like,'Big, you are sleeping. That sh!t right there ain't no
Ready to Die type sh!t'. I take my ni99as word. If sh!t ain't right, it
ain't right. I ain't putting it out. I quit before a ni99a say Big was
wack. Fucc that!! I produce, get a label, do something. Fucc that!

Tupac: Pac get busy. People can't take nothing from him. On the lyrics he
get busy, straight up. That ni99a got some hard sh!t dog for real, and
it's like the sad thing about it. When he started working on his new album
he's got now, Out on Bail, (retitled and released as Me Against The World)
he had so many raw east coast producers and sh!t. The sh!t was sounding
real tight 'cause everybody always says Pac had lyrics but his beats was
back. He was up in New York when he was working on Above the Rim sh!tand
he was working on his album at the same time. I put him on to Mo Bee. I
put him on to L.G. He has Action, Special Ed's DJ, he had some hard sh!t.
(HE) went back to the west and just started getting back into that other sh!t

Dr. Dre: Beats? Incredible!

The topic of producers arrives and names are fired out for Biggie to rate.

"Who do I think every beat they make is just ridiculous??!!...

Ant Banks: I like Banks. I like that whole sh!t though. Ant BAnks sh!t,
the whole Dangerous crew sh!t."

Who is a ten producer?

"Ain't nobody perfect dog. Everybody got their little faults and sh!t but
the only one I seen that's been hitting hard with their sh!t is Premier.
Every joint that he be putting out right now is just ridiculous, from
Jeru's sh!t, to the new group he got, the Group Home sh!t, to the sh!t he
did with me. The sh!t is hard, yo! The beats is crazy."

Sir Mix-a-lot: Nothing! I love his coats. I would love to be in the game
like how that ni99a get in the game. I wanna be just as large as those
fools but get busy, cut the bullsh!t. Ni99a saying...I got millions but
God damn that ni99a get on the mic it's just something terrible dog. I
just wanna get busy on the mic more than anything. The little ni99a game
the ni99as play with the girls, man! A ni99a just throw some b!tches in
they sh!t and they just sit there, like from the "Tootsie Roll" **** to
the "Whoot! There it is!" sh!t. It's the same sh!t. You get trapped up
with these hoes. That sh!t ain't got nothing to do with hip hop. Nothing!

The topic of wack lyrics arises and Biggie states:

"I don't wanna be a ni99a paying so much attention to the fuccing
networking and all that other sh!t and I'm not paying' no attention to
these rhymes. That's what made me get to where I'm at so I gotta make sure
the lyrics is hard."

K-Dee: "The greatest MC in the world"?? I like that track. Ni99a don't
really be saying nothing to me, you know, like lyrically he don't be
saying nothing to me. What make it so bad is when they come out with some
sh!t that's like half ass and like you wonder like, "I wonder how the
video will be." And then they got a video with this ni99a spinning this
bottle and I'm like OK, what's gonna happen when the bottle stops and the
bottle is spinning for like three fuccing minutes and then it stops and
everybody laughs like ha, and he spins again!!! Who directed this? Cube,
it had to be. It's just that funny style sh!t that I can't fucc with. I
like flat on the table sh!t, like my sh!t. They try to stick me for my
sh!t I shot 'em. Period. There's no helicopter scenes with me talkin to
somebody like , 'Well, how's the record doing?' There's no sh!t on there
that you could be like why is that sh!t in there. That's how I like the
sh!t, just regular sh!t.

 

[Amaretto]

Easy-E: (before his untimely death)-I like Easy-E. Easy-E is a real ill
ni99a. He's sharp as a tack ontop but rhymin' even he knows. He took a
group from the hood and just put them on and two million. Bing! He know
how to do that sh!t. Same thing with Luke and all the rest of them *****s.
Man, I just think they take another turn. I can let you hear some Easy-E
sh!t on some old NWA sh!t and ni99as would think Easy was nice, you know
what I'm saying, so he know.

MC Breed: He ain't come out with nothing too wrong for me. I gotta hear
some sh!t. I know once when I was in L.A. I saw Breed at Fattburger and
that ni99a just took me into the room and just got me smoked out. He had
me listening to some ill beats and sh!t that he work on production too and
I didn't know that. That's a plus for MC's. If you can make your own beats
you got props because producing is better than being an artist.

Warren G: That's my man. ni99a came to Brooklyn, he came to check me. He
just came to hood and sh!t, pulled up in a little Crysler, jumped out and
Warren G was on the ave. drinking Crazyhorse and sh!t, you know what I'm
saying''cause I ain't gonna lie, I ain't going to his hood, staight up!

Wu-Tang Clan/Method Man: Wu-Tang is hot! I like their sh!t. I love that
sh!t. I like their sh!t because they have a real I don't give a sh!t
attitude. 'We in this game to blow the fucc up! We don't give a fucc what
happens. All of us is gonna do our thing and we just gonna do it.' And
they just did it. You can hear punches, you hear so much sh!t in that
album you know damn these guys is not giving a fucc. At the beginning of
CREAM, when that sh!t start!! Voila! Oh my God, this is some rushed sh!t
but I dig it.

The Roots: The Roots album. The Roots album is hot! On the strength, they
rock the whole album for a whole hour. I was definetly in dibelief. I like
the single, I really did but other people were like, 'Single was hot but I
wasn't paying attention to the album at all.'

Bonous Questions:

Did you dis The Roots on the remix for "Flavour in your ear"?

"I stepped to them about that. They heard about it but they knew I said
Gooch (a character on the Gary Coleman, Todd Bridges, Dano Plato series
Different Strokes) so that's all they cared about. As long as they knew I
wasn't trying to dis them. It's over."

Are you really the crew who will take it to that other level if someone
steps to you?

"For real! For real! We be banging! We be banging! We're definatly the
crew that just go out of the world. We take it to the extra extra limit. I
mean that sh!t from the bottom of my fuccin' heart. Cold blow your head
off. Fucc the rap. Fucc Puff, Fucc Arista, Clive, BMG!!! I don't give a
fuccIt's over!!! Anything happen to me it's over!! They just throw the
whole sh!t in the toilet. I don't give a fucc, we banging now! Everything
is switched over for real man. A ni99a ain't gonna dis me. Ni99a's is not
dissing me, man!!!!

At this time Biggie had only released one album and he's talkin like he's the fuckin all time champion, like he got the right to point the finga, I think Biggie is overrated, yep i got his TWO albums i like both, he got flow and that's about it, he aint sayin too much. U cant be the #1 MC with two albums and how long was in the rap game?. gotta respect the honesty on that interview though. now all the Biggie lovers can bring it on. just some thoughts of the moment..givin Spice 1 and E-40 zero rating goddamn..

 

[yung zay]

i agree,he got some aight flows n he a real nigga but hez overrated,n how tha fuck u gonna give all them niggas props n not give it up 4 spice n 40 water,i think he was hatin on what was over his head.

 

[GHP]

Aloot of people in the west say Biggie is overrated cuz he will forever be compared to Pac, Their beef rose him to the same level as pac to alot of people but I think Pac is the tightest lyricist to drop to this day. Its true Biggie only came with 2 albums and on the real I only really liked the radio cuts and a few others off the albums and his post mordom album was straight Garbage, Alot of perople put Big in the top 3 but I don't really think so, he prolly like number 10.

 

[707 loc]

number ten try 100!!! really & i hatin... he was hella boring.. all i ever liked from him was when he rapped you can hear him losing oxygen & about to die .. rest in piss fat troll

 

[pimpsmooth420]

biggie was tight im sure alot of rappers dont like the rappers u into but tell u the truth40 fell off and spice well dont even need 2 say cuz that nigga no where 2 be aroun d

 

[bayGIANTS]

number ten try 100!!! really & i hatin... he was hella boring.. all i ever liked from him was when he rapped you can hear him losing oxygen & about to die .. rest in piss fat troll

lol, but its sooo true. he had that fat mans wheeze going on.

 

[RyIt]

Spice-1 is on point, 1990-Sick is classic as hell and definately one of my fav albums of all time. Biggie was tight for what he did, but what he did wasn't much, he just had a real commanding delivery and sound, Pun's better than him.

And E-40 is the man, one of the tighest rappers to hit the game, Fonzareli is the king pimp.

 

[StickyGreen]

that just goes to show though...even back in 95...everyone out here is bumping the shit outta ny music and know who they all are...but people in new york have never even heard of most of our tight artists...

 

[28g w/o the bag]

At this time Biggie had only released one album and he's talkin like he's the fuckin all time champion, like he got the right to point the finga, I think Biggie is overrated, yep i got his TWO albums i like both, he got flow and that's about it, he aint sayin too much. U cant be the #1 MC with two albums and how long was in the rap game?. gotta respect the honesty on that interview though. now all the Biggie lovers can bring it on. just some thoughts of the moment..givin Spice 1 and E-40 zero rating goddamn..

so?

you sayin that because he only has one album out that he can't have an opinion??

 

[Amaretto]

...but people in new york have never even heard of most of our tight artists...

it's the same even over here in europe.. if the rapper is from n.y. he's on the radio, doesn't matter if the rapper's good or crap!

 

[SiccMade]

so?

you sayin that because he only has one album out that he can't have an opinion??

No that's not what im sayin, I just think Biggie should respect other artists at this point. What he said about Naughty By Nature and Redman was disrespectful, i mean Big had one album and he goes like "naughty only cares about one hot single" everybody who has heard Naughty's first albums damn well know that aint truth, well however, my point was u gotta earn your respects before u can say shit like that to artists that been longer in the game.
What comes to Biggie compared to Pac, biggie had flow he hardly kicked any knowledge, deep shit, emotional shit, he just rhymed, .
Pac had it all and hes put Biggie in the game, Pac started at the end of 80's and recorded hundreds of songs in about 8 years and released way more material than Big. I aint never figured, why Biggie was crowned as king of NY after one album. maybe it was cause media wanted it to be like that Pac vs. Big = King of West vs. King of East.

 

[MsStress]

Where is this article from??

 

[Snubnoze]

ya old shit, never understood why he'd say he dont like spice 1, but say he likes mc eiht....

 

[Da Yayologist]

Mayne, y'all trippin. Biggie was just talkin outta his ass. Don't even read too much into. I mean he dissed Craig Mack, his own labelmate for Chrissake.

 

[sheriff]

it's the same even over here in europe.. if the rapper is from n.y. he's on the radio, doesn't matter if the rapper's good or crap!

nah why should they do that?.. i think here they just play the artists with alotta record sales, so they also played alot of pac, xzibit, snoop dre and others
