Rakim was the first rapper to get complex lyrics, man. I give you Rakim, no question. But as far as beat and lyrics go, Biggie is the bomb. I don't believe this shit. Y'all gonna talk about complex shit and then leave out my man Tupac. Fuck Tupac! Fuck Tupac? Nigga, you crazy! - Pac's the only lyrical motherfucker out there. - His shit do got emotion. What about the Beasties? [Future] Man, fuck the Beasties. How you even gonna bring the Beasties' shit in the mix? They bust some serious shit. No. The white boys, that's more like busters on some serious shit. I ain't gonna be bumpin' no Beastie, but it's always easier for a white man to succeed in a black man's medium, right?
