Big's catalog is not long, but his other attributes such as impact, influence, flow and style is so high that it balance everything out in his rating..

Kinda like how you can be a 9 in shooting, passing, rebounding and a 7 in dunking and still be a rated 9 player..all those 9's and one 7 won't bring you down to 8...

And on the other end of the spectrum Big Daddy Kane, skill and flow wise for his time is arguably #1 over everybody..but his overall catalog over the long haul averaged him below his successors like Nas, Jay, Big, Pac..ect, Or knock a G.Rap or a Slick Rick out of the top 10 all together...

Then you got a KRS who's output from the mid 90's onward is not on the level of his previous stuff, but his golden era output is so UNDENIABLY classic to the genre that it puts him up there.

But yeah.. glad cats feeling the list..
