Nobody is stopping them from being nominated. I haven't because I don't have any albums by them. I nominated Biggie because I love his albums to death and he was a big influence on me and on hip-hop in general.

I didn't vote no to Buddy Holly because nobody bothered to nominate Ritchie Valens.

I just think it's curious, is all. Of course that's not why I voted no.

Completely? Imagine some of those lyrics being used by a bad rapper. His lyrics did far worse than 'miss the mark' from time to time.

I don't think either that he's as artistically insignificant as you think he is. The man had a vision, which was executed perfectly over the course of the two albums he made while he was alive. I've talked about it a lot on here and since I'm running short on time i'll just post a link to an old thread.

I wanted to vote no because of the lack of a big discog, but I couldn't bring myself to it. Dude's a legend.

How you livin'?

abstaining on account of me owning nothing by him. I'm such a hiphop n00b.

In mansions and Benz's.
Givin ends to my friends, and it feels stupendous. Why do you ask?

Abstaining on the grounds of lack of knowledge, no back catalogue at in my collection.

This one's for some else to decide!

WTF? 9 votes No? Who ever the hell is voting no atleast better speak up. And I swear if Biggie isn't at the very least eligable for renomination i'm leaving MB for a good long while because BAM there goes my faith in this otherwise spot on site.
