To mention Shakespeare and BIG in the same sentence is ridiculous. BIG was a great rapper, but he just wrote about what he lived, rather than creating something new that wasn't directly derived from his experiences like Shakespeare. Also I would question his importance in music. Yeah, he's important in the history of rap, but he didn't really innovate or do anything new for the rest of music.
