    Who has the better flow according to you? For me it's hard to decide. Possibly the 2 best flows of all time

    Big's flow is his most NOTORIOUS (Pun intended) thing about him. Untouchable flow.

    Jay-Z has the best and most original flows i've ever heard in my life, Biggie was good but honestly simplistic in comparison

    lol

    I never get involved in these arguments, but this is nuts. Biggie was ridiculous. The best rapper of all time. I love Jay but he doesn't hold a candle to Big. Calling Biggie "simplistic" is insane

    would appreciate @WPG thoughts on this

    Why @ the last line? lol m8 I didn't say Biggie was simplistic as a rapper, Biggie is one of my favorite rappers. This thread is about flow, i said his flow was simplistic in comparison to Jay-z' and imo it's pretty easy to see that

    I think it's really close, but I'd choose Biggie's flow.

    You're definitely right about Jay Z's flow being more intricate, but that developed over time and through experimenting. Not that it's either of their faults, but Biggie's sample size is pretty small.

    I think between 94-97, Biggie easily had a better flow than Jay, or just anyone in hip hop, for that matter. He was so captivating. His mic presence just dominated anybody.

    I guess the argument could go either way. I just think Biggie was SO far ahead of his time, that he would've ended up originating more trends within the genre than Jay did, and that's saying a ton because look at what Jay did in his career.

    Biggie, to me, is an MC in it's truest form. I just can't think of anyone with his mic presence. He was literally the most natural rapper I think I've ever heard.

    But, in saying all of that, Jay Z is number 2 on my list, only behind Nas.

    It's not even possible to indisputably prove that one had a better flow than the other lol
