Happy Biggie Day!!!
Reason Why I love Biggie & His Music:
1) Biggie spit pain...I was raised in poor neighborhood in West Philly (Down Bottom Wud Up???), and songs like "Juicy" reflects my day to day struggle
juicy - Biggie Smalls
2) Biggie got lyrics...The 1st thing I judge a rapper on is lyrics than content, delivery, swagger etc...Biggie master all of that but his lyrics were something else from drop hot bars like Who shot ya?/Seperate the weak from the ob-solete or the vivid lyrical paintings he presented in "I Got A Story To Tell"...Biggie had madd Lyrics
Who Shot Ya? - Notorious B.I.G.
3) Big was madd smooth & savvy...How did the blackest fattest rapper become Hip-Hop's Castle Nova??? Just shows you how dope he was...he was able to make people look beyond his surface & see the beauty in him.
Straight up honey really I'm askin/Most of these niggaz think they be mackin but they be actin/Who they attractin with that line, "What's your name, what's your sign"?/Soon as he buy that wine I just creep up from behind/And ask what your interests are, "who you be with"? Things to make you smile, what numbers to dial/You gon' be here for a while, I'm gon' go call my crew/You go call your crew We can rendez vous at the bar around two....He is one SAVVY CAT!!!
Big Poppa - Notorious B.I.G.
4) Biggie Is Versatile...I think the hardest thing to do as a Hip-Hop Artist is making Top-Charting singles & club joints as well as making the hottest street tracks...Its a thin line that we rappers try to walk but only a few can...Cats Like Big, NaS, Pac & Jay-Z walk that with little to no effort, but it is really a hard thing to do. Some cats make real music but you really dont want to hear them in the club some dudes make garbage music that you would only listen to if your drunk off your ass...Big was the best from both worlds...
Hypnotize - NotoriousBIG. Biggie Smalls
5) Biggie spoke truth from the Heart..."Suicide Thoughts" might be my favorite Biggie song cause one it shows that Big is human like the rest of us...even with a multi-million recording deal he still goin through it!!!. On this song he shows that his life aint as glorified as one may think...R.I.P B.I.G
Suicidal Thoughts - Biggie Smalls
