Juicy, Sky's the limit, Big poppa remix, things done changed, warning, suicidal thoughts, 10 crack commandments..

Big put together some classic songs with concepts, unique structure, and extremely memorable hooks.

when I think song writer I think people who have songs tha can alter your mood, big did that a lot...

he had a lot of songs that were mostly punchlines, flow and wit..

then he had some shit that was just on a different level...
 
3 sides to a story, 10 minutes, joe got some classics under his belt as well

I'm sure he has some great material that his core audience appreciates, but he's not on the level of Jay Pac and Big when it comes to making hits.

How many songs does Budden have that a DJ can throw on and everybody in the club knows every word?

Now that I think about it, 50 Cent deserves a mention

is that what you consider a great song writer??

everybody gotta know the words....

while I understand the appeal of everybody


sometimes it's just fans of the culture who know every word...

i'll use juicy as an example...

people legit get mad when someone who claims they know rap does'nt know every word to juicy....


shit was such a well written song, and every word was so meaning ful....it's almost engraved into your brain..."classic"

I threw beans on my list... cuz aside from being my favorite...

songs like feel it in the air, look at me now, nothing like it.....again....every word matters...you can read the words on a piece of paper, and hear no music, and know you're reading something special...

" I'm ten steps ahead of niggas, that shit scary
sometimes I feel ahead of myself
I hear this voice in the back of my mind
like "Mac maintain, just grind, dog, better yourself"
So what I do?, I take heed and pick up the pace
can't explain it when I pick up my son & look at my face
I'm like a black rose growin' in the concrete crack in the pavement
there that voice go again "Mac practice for greatness,
get paid for them immaculate statements"
Keep thinkin of them hotlines, like a physic, I can't explain it
There's no pen when I write it, there's nothing like it.."
 
50 a song writing nigga too...stayed gettin’ awards, plaques and publishing for writing shit

Beans might be tha most slept on “best lyricist” ever...not even playin’...not sayin’ he’s tha best but when tha convo comes up I don’t think he gets mentioned nearly enough...to me he should be mentioned everytime Jay, Black Thought, Nas, Biggie etc etc are brought you
