    For every bit that you could argue Jay multi rhymed more than BIG, BIG rhymed more unique words and bent syllables

    That argument doesn't hold up to much scrutiny.

    Em? Lol ok you're arguing that big doesn't have enough work when Em has three "classics" (for sake of argument, TES is trash) and four terrible albums. Big has one album and a double album (basically the same amount of "good" content Eminem has) and they're both better than anything em has put out.

    Try me? He rhymed great sure but he didnt have pacs subject matter, didnt have Jays lyricism or musical catalogue. Didnt have Ems technical ability or catalogue and if you think TES is trash idk what to tell you its his best album lol.

    I can see why im not arguing against it I just dont think he was. h--- I'd even argue that now Kendrick is a better rapper than Big got be.
