Biggie is mad overrated. I think he gets too much credit as a hip hop genius, simply because he died. Now I know pac gets a little boost from his mysterious death, and it makes his music a little more real feeling, but IMO Big gets too much credit usually for being like one of the best rappers ever, when in fact he just dropped 2 albums, and IMO they were good but nothing amazing. I like biggie albums like I like 'documentary'. Fun album to listen to for a week or two and then put it away. Dre easily makes top 5, simply for consistency. Snoop is still a good candidate for top 5 just because of the mass contribution and recognition he has brought to hip hop, maybe more than any other artist. I swear I see snoop everywhere on tv, radio, and the doggystyle girls gone wild gets rented like crazy at the videostore i work at..
