Brilliant comic David Cross, prepping a new comedy CD/DVD slated for May 25, delved into hip-hop with Pitchfork in a Friday interview:
Pitchfork: Do you remember any examples of not liking an album everyone else did?
DC: I can't think of one off the top of my head, although I do think Biggie Smalls is overrated. I just don't think he's as good a lyricist as people say he is.
Pitchfork: You'd prefer a Jay-Z maybe?
DC: Yes. I love a good Jay-Z. I love a Kanye, I love a Lupe Fiasco.It's a fair opinion. Biggie's catalog isn't deep enough for him to be considered the greatest ever, but his iconography is untouchable.
Cross also accuses Dane Cook of stealing material. Which is totally true. Read the whole thing here.
