Okay so that might have been overstatement of the century, lets face it he never was actually the greatest. Possibly the best on Bad Boy but then Diddy had a habit of signing up really shit rappers (if like us you caught the London show on the mix below you will no doubt remember how truly s**t that loveable crackhead Craig Mackactually was live), probably so he wouldn't look so bad when he tried to rap himself. Still Biggie wasn't too bad with a mic and made some classic tunes now and then, most of which are here on this 'tribute' mix by DJ MK.

Picking the actual greatest rapper of all time is blatantly an impossibility unless you're the sort of person who believes that there's one meaning to life and one path to God, or that blue smarties tasted better because you didn't get them all the time. Marketing ploys aside we could probably do a list of bloody good rappers if we could be arsed and one rapper who would certainly be on that is Gift Of Gab, who shall be playing with our boy Ruffstylz (who believes he once spat the 'greatest verse in Hip-hop', to less applause then Biggie admittedly but hey mi vida es su vida) this Friday at Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff. He is also on this incredibly dope track from Nick Andre and E da Bos.
The EP also features Marc Stretch (of Foreign Legion), Bicasso (of Living Legends) andZ-Man (of One Block Radius). Here's a link to the EP and a video for the title track.
