Shows how broad people's tastes are around my age to be fans of biggie smalls and George Strait ...and to enjoy and respect each as being genuine and good at their style of music. George and biggie have the smoothest voices of their genres.

Glad to see most here prefer biggie over 2pac. Smalls is the best rapper all time IMO.. and my favorite by a country mile. You guys ever listen to 8ball and mjg? I've never even been to Memphis other than driving thru but those guys were some of my favorites back in the day

The chronic. Dre
Doggy style
Outkast.
Goodie mob
8ball
Wu tang
DMX

All these dropped while I was in middle school or highschool. I know every word to every song on the top 3 albums.

People knock the 90s but some great music came out... also love

TOOL. MY FAVORITE PERIOD.
RAGE
Alice in chains
Sound garden
Pantera
Deftones.
Korn before they sold out
Pearl jam...ten is 1 of the best albums ever recorded. Almost every song is good. Love black and garden.

Who am I forgetting guys? This is the music of my youth. Love it. I am sure I am forgetting some great ones.

8ball and MJG came out big right after I graduated high school.

Rap isn't my thing, but I have great respect for Pac and Biggie.

The hologram of Pac was impressive.

Crazy that arguably the 2 best rappers all time had each other killed. The rap community seems to have learned a lesson about "beef"...but at what cost? It's like gorge strait and garth brooks having each other killed over a verbal spat. Absolutely insane.

Oh and Sug knight getting incredibly rich off the albums released posthumously. Like tens of millions rich....makes you say hmmmmmm

I have a friend that was in a gang when pac was killed. He said the cops did it. Orchestrated by Sug. But he said a lot of people in rival gangs wanted pac dead. It was only a letter of time.

Saw Hank, Jr. in Knoxville a long time ago. He hardly spoke to the crowd. Just did his songs and walked off like he didn't want to be there. Friend of mine said he doesn't care for Knoxville because Hank, Sr. spent his last night in the Andrew Johnson Hotel on New Year's eve 1952.

I think Sug knight definitely had 2pac killed. Then biggie paid the price. Which I believe Sug encouraged and even financed be a use the hit was on the east coast. Sug knight is a piece if trash...extortion is murderer etc.

Agreed. I've watched several documentarys on both biggie and 2Pac.

I honestly believe they could have made a difference in the mentality of the black communities. Squashed out violence and heavy drug use.

Current hip hop is terrible outside of a few. I've been a big fan of hopsin for awhile. His new album is solid. The skit no words paints current rap exactly like it is.

I was talking about getting started in the business. At least in country music most of the guys are just singing hats.

I'm jealous.

I believe he still had a cabin at LBL. I'd love to drink a beer with him.

My uncle meet him and a few other of the legends will duck hunting years ago. Said they ended up in a blind together.

While he is a different age bracket, I think George Strait qualifies to be called one of the greats.
