I believe that you were one of the greatest lyricists in all of hip hop. You are ranked in the same class as Nas, Rakim, and KRS-One. All of your tracks are still in rotation on my iPod. Ready to Die is a<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>true classic album. I wonder what you would think of the new crop of MCs that are out today. Because if I hear someone refer to Lil Wayne or Nicki Minaj again as hip hop legends I really think I am gonna lose it.<\/p>\n<p>Damn, I miss you Biggie.
