i hate when people say that biggie small is not the greatest cause he only had two albums if you listen to his flow and punchlines is still better then 99 percent of rappers ever
3 Albums, Born Again was released after his death and is inferior to Ready to Die and double albums Life After Death but it was Puffy who put it out there from previous recording Big did but didnt release , it was just a money grab for puffy. BIG the best ever
@@YGA_QUEZi used to think the same thing , that his lyrics were sus and weird but he’s still telling a story but he just says it as if he was coping with the situation by saying it with bad words , i do that sometimes when im nervous or get stuck with words😂
@@paul-antonywhatshisface3954please explain it then bc how do you explained it but he prolly did it for a shock factor but if someone said this today it’s a rap it’s over for there career
Story telling ability 10 out of 10 be it drugs sex murder suicide and comedy adventures of all of them, he was a massive loss to hip hop music and its still not recovered from it or from Pac gone, 2 massive uniquely talented artists that broke the mold and nobody has ever filled their boots since
Probably this is the Biggie's best original track I ever heard. Cause most of Biggie's tracks I love is mashups. So much creativity and skills at this peace.
I have to admit that I’ve just recently started listening to Biggie seriously (I’m 26) but wow! Really, it’s hard to put into words the emotion that biggie puts into his music that speaks to you. It is like its own language, the “ambiance” he creates. Also the flow is untouchable...
We are on the same boat, im 24 and i just started listening to him. I remember not being interested by his flow when i was younger, i would prefer an energetic flow like Tupac. Now being more mature, his dark and kinda depressive flow talks to me on a really deep level
"Here lies your demise, close your eyes. Think good thoughts. Die while your skin start to glisten. Pale blue, hands get cold. Your soul's risen..." That is such great writing. The imagery in those bars is incredible. Man he was so talented. Nobody today comes close to that kind of writing. Pusha t is the closest maybe in terms of using that style of imagery and metaphors
Arashi NoKazee not it is not nice to sing about it but to his defense. He said he know someone that did it. It was his surrounding and his reality. His songs are dark and gritty but they convey a story of his environment. Just like an author would write about that in a book.
Kevin Fuentes facts, and that line wasnt even true, he just wanted to exaggerate shit. Tupac said ”my .44 make sure all yall kids dont grow” like cmon this was the 90’s everybody had lyrics like that. It was all for entertainment and creative freedom. Not to take it literally

+Oso Flocka Flame at least our hero's weren't hero's and weren't afraid of death and will be remembered unlike drake and meek in like 5 years their music will be dead and biggies and tupac has lasted over two decades FAM
***** bitch you sound stupid af... any dumb fuck stupid enough to use wacka flacka as inspiration for his username gets tossed to the side with the rest of the suckas
"Man this is straight torture, look what that slick shit bought ya, a first class ticket to Lucifer real name Christopher, watch me set it off like Vivica" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Word!! Credit to Puff Daddy too for the beats....but these beats only worked with Biggie...some have tried to remix and failed! 😅 To me, 'Life after Death' remains the darkest most gangster album ever...philosophical and dangerous!!
It's not Biggies lyricism or his metaphors, punchlines, or even his style. It's his damn flow and delivery that is just so ruthless and crisp. His timing with the beat is ridiculous.
Too busy listing to the beat. Listen to the lyrics. Don't you know my nigga kidnap kids . Fuck them in the ass and throw them over the bridge. Ant doubt. That's just the way it is. OMG
This takes me back to when I was 16yrs old working at McDonald's lol now I'm 38 still working at mcdonalds.... Naw I'm kidding. Lol Tupac and Biggie glad I was alive to witness such greatness! 💯🔥
Yo....I straight relate...same here...I used to bang this joint at my McDonald's in Detroit on Grand River and livernois...at 16...now I'm 38....classic times✊🏾
@@Shofar-Tamiym YOOOOO! I used to stay around that way! I lived closer to the 6 Mile/Livernois Mickey Ds though and would pass by it like EVERYDAY on my way to the Powerhouse Gym and/or work. Small world🌎😄
Born June 89 #90sbaby. The violin 🎻 gets me every single time. I was 5 years old in kindergarten but I witnessed this era. BIG said wtf he said and Puffy/Diddy consigned. RIP Biggie and Tupac. Yall died over clout, magazine cover sales and cassettes/cd sales. 90s babies miss yall both!
Here after the K Dot vs Drake beef of 2024. I remember being a kid during the Biggie n Pac beef. Being raised IN SOUTHERN CALI by a single mother and grandmother both from NY hit different different. My mom took Biggies death HARD AF and all the older kids on my neighborhood took Pacs death hard af. Hip hop is a sad, beautiful, and ugly never ending movie. Can't wait to come back to this comment 30 years from now.
This generation wanna call us old when we play this but these are real lyrics and very much relevant on the shit that's going on today especially in Chicago.
Gucci mane once said "if you a Blood got beef with Guwop I don't wanna B ya If you a Crip got problems with me I wouldn't wanna C ya" lmao I thought that was cool
This album kept me strong, had finished university in UK , just started working in Northampton for a brewery, was most likely the only African working for that brewery at that time. No visa or work permit..always thought the guys would walk in at work..would come home and listen to this album....now in 2021 been back in Africa for 16 years...this was a sinister but deep track

"quick to spit biggie name on shit",that's exactly what a lot of people are doing on here. Trying to disrespect the greatest that ever did it. Much respect Big Papa! GOAT!
Alexis Everest Look, the guy is talented rap-wise but his topics are not interesting and sometimes sick, that alone makes him NOT the greatest. "Covet the wife, Kleenex for the kids tears" He said that in Player's Anthem. Tupac takes the GOAT spot since he has the talent and is more interesting than B.I.G in his music.
B M bruh he just said what came to mind and he spit it no shame that's what an mc does Same way eminem used to diss people it just rhymed so he went with it No hate to you just my argument👍
B M I see your not mentally capable to understand the intelligence and metaphoric references. "What's beef?" If you saying you and I are enemies, then all else is out the window, everything goes. That's the difference wit BIG, he ruthless. "With killas known to kidnap kids, fuck em in they ass throw em over the bridge." - harsh but if it's beef then you can't hold back on Disrespect lol
Life after death is one of the best albums ever made when we was a kid I'd be blasting this album with my massive speaker at my bedroom window to let my entire street share this masterpiece
