The Origin of the So-Called “Oscar”
The oscar winner award statue is actually based on the ancient egyptian god Ptah (pronounced “taw”) who in the Memphite theology was the master craftsman that brought forth everything in existence. Ptah was the primal deity, the first of all the gods, creator of the world and all that is in it. He is said to have sculpted the gods, and created all living things. Egyptian art depicts Ptah as a tall bearded man with a tightly fitting cap and ornate garments, and he is shown holding the “was” scepter, the symbol of the divine, and a symbol for life, stability, and power that is combined together in the Ankh. It is interesting how little known the Egyptian inspiration for the Oscar statue award trophy truly is.

I didnt think “I Know” was single worthy either, but it got added to rotation of DC radio stations like two months ago. The people have spoken.
“Say Hello” was my favorite track when I first copped the CD, but it just didn’t have staying power in my player. “Party Life” is the best song on the album. It’s the sound (thematically at least) that he was going for on Kingdom Come but couldnt’ quite pull off. “No Hook” and “Sweet” get doper by the day.

I could definetly be wrong, but I’m pretty sure Lost Tapes (at least 90%) of it was the original version of “I Am”. The two joints on there that are also bonus tracks on Stillmatic are the only exceptions I think.

Nothing from his post Life after Death work (verses on No way Out, writing Hardocore) indicated a fall off was in the near future. In fact, just the opposite, he just kept getting better.

^yeah, like paid in full has filler joints. a classic has to on some level reflect the time it came out: ob4cl, reasonable doubt, illmatic, 3 feet high and rising, takes a nation of millions, hard to earn, war report

Biggie is your GOAT cause he is your favorite rapper
^^^
Actually, Ghost is my favorite rapper. Biggie’s just the best.
February 26th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
And no, BIG’s drive was nothing like Jay’s. But then again, Jay’s natural MCing talent is nowhere close to BIG’s.
I tell people all the time, the best argument for hiphop isnt, “Who’s the greatest MC of all time?â€, its actually “Who’s the 2nd greatest MC of all time?â€
Just his voice will rattle your fucking speakers.
^^Co-siggity. Biggie’s voice was an instrument.
‘Niggas in my faction don’t like asking questions
Strictly gun testing, coke measuring
Giving pleasure in the Benz-ito
Hitting fanny, spendin chips at Manny’s
Hope you creeps got receipts, my peeps get dirty like cleats
Run up in your crib, wrap you up in your Polo sheets
Six up in your wig piece, nigga decease
Muah!, may you rest in peace’

You cant say ANYONE is the best off two albums
^^^
Why?? Hendrix and Cobain only had two albums. Hathaway only had three. Quality over quanity right??
If not for Ready to Die (and Cuban Linx to an extent), Jay would have kept rapping like a Fu-Shnicken. True talk.
_______________________________________________________
Exactly my point, when people die, all of a sudden the heralded as the greatest person at whatever they did…Conservatives call Ronald Regan the best president and now they are reganites, now that he is dead.
Plus hendrix and curtcobain have nothing to do with hip hop….
Rap is like Ball…Can you call someone the greatest after two seasons?
Let’s say Jay stopped rhyming like the fu after big dropped, reasonable doubt is still better than ready to die.

I can’t put biggie ahead of jay and big it just like if a athlete got injured early in his career you won’t say he was the best ever. Biggie died so he didn’t get the live to his full potential.

what facts? two albums?….That are not even in the top 5….Ready to die was full of singles, Life after death was good but as a whole it wasnt that tight….1 out of every 2 songs was good.

Dumb fucks were saying Reagan was the best long before he died. That’s just some history.
And if my analogy to rock stars doesn’t work for you, how can you compare this to sports.
If the only two albums you dropped happen to be two of the best hip hop albums ever, if 90% of hip hop listeners know all the words to your singles (at least the singles, if not album cuts), if you transformed hip hop stylitically and thematically in ways that are apparent 11 years later, and if you’re the guy that wrote “I Got a Story To Tell” I dont think you’d need to make to or three albums to prove your the greatest. There’s enough in your arsenal already.
And if two classic albums isnt enough, how many is? Sure Nas and Jay released more LP’s but do either have more than two classics? I’d say no. So they’re still even with BIG on classic material.
February 26th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
If lupe died after Food and Liquor, niggas would saying he is top five Dead or alive..
J-dilla died, now all of a sudden people call him the goat, most niggas wasnt even listening to him when he was alive…

First off Big doesnt Have Two classic albums…..Let’s be serious, saying his albums are done out of respect and its the trendy thing to say for hip-hoppers…
Really what niggas are quoting mad lines off Ready to die, I have NEVER heard anyone say that they keep life after death in Constant rotation in the whip, and not many people are going back listening to ready to die, very good albums yes classics no…
Never said that Big wasnt one of the Best, I’m saying people are just as emotional about Big as they are Pac.
Fact remains people call big the Goat outta respect for his death.
Im just saying AINT NO BEST (c)….how do you judge art? its in the eye of the beholder

Big’s drive wasnt like Jigga’s, sure he had extraordinary talent, but He needed a Phil Jackson….Its been documented plenty of times where big was Like, I dont know If I could take this (dealing with puff) and having to go in the booth everyday.
There was definitely more than 2 filler songs- A LOT more than 2 and if you have ANY filler joints on an album is not a classic, good yes, but not classic……Life after death is an average album….
If the nigga hadn’t died yall wouldnt be saying this….

BIG came from nothing, sold weight just like hov…. and would have been nice wether puff found him or not….. Puff helpd BIG figure out the “industry” but didnt help him become the MC he was….. and Life After death probably painted some of the best pictures ever recorded on rap….. BIG didnt all these so called MCs follow his lead

Like I said puff’s imprint was on Big’s Albums…Big could flow outta his ass and would have been a great MC anywhere else, But my main hypothesis was that I dont believe big would have fared as good longevity wise….
It takes more than just talent, to be great….I just believe outside circumstances would have prevented BIG to go on a JAY-like run.
