I seriously just cannot get past his sound. For me, putting him in the same breath as Pac just ain't right.

And I know, they usually get compared more because they were both murdered...but I don't think BIG is even in the same league as Pac and others.

And I agree...the MTVs of the world do him and rap a disservice by just being sloppy with their lists and nonsense.

Also...the whole 2 albums thing is part of it for me. How he can be considered by many as one of the best ever after only 2 records is a hard sell.

I mean...looking at Feel My Power and Let's Get It Started....MC Hammer looked like he had the potential to be an all-time great. Then things went horribly awry.
