S1)The Notorious B.I.G. vs.
S5)J.Cole: I think it will be a close battle but Biggie should win.
Flow: Hmm. This is so tough. Both rappers are fairly flawless here, but
I obviously think Biggie is more so. (10-0)
Creativity: I give Biggie a lot of credit for being a dominant rapper
in his day, however I feel Cole’s music is a little more creative for his
career. This may sound a little bias as when Biggie rapped most rappers were…actually
good lol. (10-10)
Storytelling: Tie. I don’t really need to explain it either. (15-15)
Impact: Biggie wins this category by leaps and bounds. However in 20
years idk what I would say..but this is 2017 bro. (25-15)
Collaboration: Hmm. Not too sure as neither rapper…wait nah its Biggie.
Hahaha. (35-15)
Versatility: Tie. I feel both rappers are pretty damn versatile. Biggie
had club bangers, dark mafioso songs. J. Cole has everything else like
conscious rap. (40-20)
Albums: This is tough. Biggie has 2 classics…undeniable too. However
Cole has and album that I feel is as good as Life After Death (2014FHD) and his
other 2 albums aren’t far behind that. Cole wins this cat. Gasp! (40-30)
Commercial Success: Last round Cole fell short here barely, and he certainly
loses here as Biggie sold a wopping 10 million off Life After Death alone. (50-30)
So it was somewhat close, but Biggie Smalls moves on with 50 points.
S2)Nas vs. S3)Raekwon
I think The Chef is gonna give Nas a run for his money. I predict an upset.
Flow: Tie. Both rappers have different flows, and honestly there’s just
not many wholes here in either’s spitting game. (5-5)
Creativity: It’s no secret Nas wins this one. Why? Rae is great but he
doesn’t stand out as much as music like “One Mic” and “I Can”. (15-5)
Storytelling: You’d like to think Nas and Raekwon are even here….well…yes…they
are! (20-10)
Impact: Nas wins here and really, it’s not close. (30-10)
Collaboration: I’m giving this one to Raekwon. It’s close but he really
makes a difference on these features, not saying Nas doesn’t but hey. (30-20)
Versatility: Oooo I’m nervous. This is tough to call. Nas wins again…albeit
not by much. (40-20)
Albums: This is not easy to call. Nas has some real gems like Illmatic.
Chef has Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. Nas has more albums, but Raekwon has some
good ones too. Neither rappers has more than one bad album. Tie. Yes I cannot
decide. (45-25)
Commercial Success: This is where Nasty Nas runs away with it. Yeah Rae
hasn’t gone Gold since….lol. (55-25)
Nas wins with 55 points. It wasn’t close as the Chef only won 1
category.
