If you are trying to compare Bias to Biggie then Biggie would have to have only put out mixtapes without any real albums. I think it's outstanding that he had so many hits with only 2 albums and was basically the savior of the east coast. Now I'm not saying he was the only rapper from the east but he had such a broad appeal. How can you argue with going diamond?
