@dccomicsrule2011: Aaagh! Lol, tough for me to answer any of these, but I'll try...

Better freestyle: I dont know if I ever heard a Biggie freestyle...so I guess Jay... : /

Better music: I'll say Big because he didn't have a chance to make any really horrible tracks (maybe not fair to penalize Jay for being alive to make that almost standard 3rd/4th album that just sucks like a lot of artists...but eh)

Better Albums: I'll say Jay by slim margin. Reasonable Doubt, In My Lifetime Vol I, the Black Album over Big's Ready to Die and Life After Death, 3>2. (Does that contradict my answer for the second question...? Hmm...)

Better Lyrics: Really tough... I'll say maybe even a draw here. The flow/delivery would probably make a separation easier.

Better overall MC: I honestly havent seen enough footage of Big live in concert to compare to Jay in concert. Crowd control/interaction/immersion are all heavy aspects of being a great emcee, so I probably can't really say...

Jay Z on all counts, never really liked Biggie
