It’s like comparing Jehova to Allah, it can’t be done. They’re both amazing.

Considering Biggie is reputed the best rapper of all times, a 5% difference is not bad for Nas.
I still think he would have won (probably on wax, rather than live).

@ Danjamania-Lol,no doubt!!!!!!!

@Don King

that,”over the benjamins beat line,I theorize was a shot at B.I.G.,in preperation for a potential battle,never realized because of B.I.G.s death.The title alone:Dream Shatterer,”Dream”?As in it was all a…,Biggie verse:Christopher/real name Lucifer….Pun verse:Fakin like[you]Satan when I’m the real rapping abomination.The track alone sounds like Pun is addressing someone in particuliar,not emcees in general.God bless ‘em both,they were both great,…but back to B.I.G. he was hands done THE BEST in his GENERATION(not ever,but his generation) to do it,the most complete emcee package,and not surprisingly..the most HATED during his short reign.Nas is great in his own right,…but it would have been no contest.

On stage? Biggie no question … did you ever hear that freestyle he did with Pac, Kane, and them? He totally ripped it … ! In terms of presence, few could top Biggie live! Nas doesn’t have3 that type of presence live. Now, if the battle were strictly on wax, then that would have been a much closer battle … but the question was who would rinse who on stage!!! Biggie, no question!!!

At R. Jones… that woulda been crazy… on record only though. You ever seen Pun perform on stage? Maaan, SKEE-LO could prob’ly top Pun on stage, just on the strength of being able to get thru two bars without getting winded.

What are these shots at Biggie on Dream Shatterer then? Bearing in mind the track came out over a year after Big’s death in would have been in spectacularly bad taste. The only link to Big on that track is ‘I’ll even let you rhyme to the Benjamin beat…’ but that’s just Pun cockily saying he’d make it easy for his (imaginary) rap rivals in a contest by generously giving them a dope track to freestyle to….

on the subject at hand, Lyrically Nas can be Godlike, but there’s no question Biggie would’ve ripped him to shreds – Biggie was a ‘star’ where as Nas is an ‘artist’.

I voted nas, just for his verse on Back To the Grill… on a side but related note… remember how on OBFCL Rae and Ghost were exposing BIG for biting Nas cover? well it has happened again… YakBallz latest effort “Gas Galaxy” is a direct bite, title and cover artwork of P Bros. “The Gas”…. peep this foul shit:

First, that damn Diddy and his dances are still Hysterical a decade later… but I say biggie woulda won it EASY! Illmatic and It was Written were dope albums BUT from the footage I’ve seen of Biggie’s performances… he woulda won the crowd over IMO.
