And a lot of people on this forum would vote for them *shudder* but, for me, Biggie's raw talent is worth more than that. Whatever he rapped moves me more than anything by Dream Theater and I don't think the lyrics are that bad really (sure some are beyond horrible but still, when he was on he was on on all levels). Nowhere near the truly great lyricists of hip-hop but more emotionally moving than a lot of those. He had the perfect voice and rhythm for rap and he used it as best he knew how. And I still listen to Ready to Die semi regularly (even though puff daddy did everything he could to ruin it). That earns him a YES from me.
edit: not that I have anything against 'Gimme the Loot' but this is the song I would have posted..
