In this past clip from My Expert Opinion Ep #146, Styles P of The LOX sits down with Math Hoffa to pay homage to the late, great The Notorious B.I.G.

Styles P makes a powerful case for why Biggie is the undisputed GOAT, arguing that unlike most greats who master only two or three lanes, Biggie mastered every category of MCing: from R&B features and club records to complex storytelling and street swagger (like rapping "black and ugly as ever" while making Versace cool).

Styles highlights the legendary sophomore double-album, "Life After Death," calling it the unmatched bar in hip-hop, pointing to the deep introspection in tracks like "Suicidal Thoughts" and "Everyday Struggle." The most profound takeaway is Styles P's theory that Biggie wasn't just a storyteller—he was rapping entire movie scripts. Using the verse about "Arizona Ron" from the track "Niggas Bleed," Styles argues that Biggie's narratives hold untapped, multi-million dollar cinematic potential that Hip-Hop often overlooks.
