Back in 1995 Biggie rated Jeru and Nas a straight 10 out of 10 as far as MC skills go.

@Nicky Tarantino Google the original 95 article from his Canadian interview. He rated Nas and Jeru a 10, MC Eiht an 8 (a coincidence I'm sure haha), despite their alleged "beef" he said he couldn't knock Tupac at all, "dude gets busy", he said he absolutely loved Too Short and he had the utmost love for him, he said Lady of Rage was the coldest female in the game at that time, but he trashed Spice 1 and E-40 with straight zeros, which later led to him being threatened by E-40's goons in Cali, and he also spoke down on Ice Cube, Redman for switching his style to the psychedelic 1994 version (Dare Iz A Darkside), Naughty by Nature for not being motivated to produce more consistent albums and being content with putting a few big hits on albums to sell units...

I also like Jeru The Damaja, A Tribe Called Quest(RIP Phife Dawg), Ice T, Run DMC(RIP Jam Master Jay), LL Cool J, Ice Cube of NWA. Jeru The Damaja shouldn't be living in Berlin overseas.
