I grew up in the 90s and I’m mostly a rock fan. To me, Biggie is a legend. This is one of my favorite songs and I still listen to it in awe of his talent. I think the beat is a copy of Herb Albert “Rise” - another great song worth reacting too.
He sampled this from Herb Alberts song called “Rise.” Please react to it as well- I believe you will be very happily surprised- And Talk about memories!! Listening to this, especially bumping in my brothers low rider back in the day- Yessss! Ahhh-☺️💙🧡👍✨✌️
NOTORIOUS B.I.G. AND 2 PAC CAN GIVE EACH OTHER A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY!!!! TWO GREAT RAPPERS , TORN FROM THIS WORLD WAY BEFORE THEIR TIME!!!! R.I.P. TO B.I.G. AND 2 PAC.
I'm not into HipHop/Rap Music... but in 1997 as this song cames out, i was thrilled. This is one of the greatest HipHop Songs of all times. And btw the Original Video of Hypnotize is funny
Man... he was gone far too soon! Can't even imagine how big he would be today. A true talent! If you haven't, check out "Big poppa" and "one more chance"
Check out a guy named Bobby McFerrin singing a song called "dont worry be happy." There are no instruments in this song, he makes all the sounds on his own.
Props to everyone giving a shout out to Herb Alpert's number hit from 1979: Rise, looking forward to Jay's reaction to Mo Money Mo Problems and Sky's the Limit.
Biggie and Puff opened up the genre for side-step and snap dancers. Pleasantville urbanites could now side-step snap AND feel cool. Love his sound and lyrics.
I took my then fiancee (now husband) to see Mary J. Blige for his birthday & during intermission guess who came out & started rapping......Notorious B.I.G. 🎯
The thing that blows my mind about Biggie is that he was killed at age 24. 24! One can only imagine what else he could’ve done had he lived many more years, very tragic.
I loved your reaction to this, Jay! Old school Hip Hop just hits different for me. I could never sing the rap part but you best believe I kicked in on that chorus. 🤣 "Biggie, Biggie, Biggie, can't you see? Sometimes your words just hypnotize me."
Ìconic! I can see the cars bouncing to the beat when I hear the intro😃 It's very risquè lyrics but I don't really hear it for some reason, I get so obsessed with the music.
For me it is f****** crazy that people don’t know this song! This is one of the greatest rappers of all time and if you’re a fan of rap you know these songs. WTF
I just have to say that I’ve been watching your reactions for awhile and just subscribed and you are adorable! Haha! I’m a 62 yr old married Momaw and I love your ear for music,your ear for guitars, horn sections, etc...You really seem to know and enjoy music..🕺🕺🕺ha! Keep on keeping on and listen to Miracles by Jefferson Starship if you have a chance... That was our “love song” in the 70’s! God bless you !!!! 🙏🙏🙏💕
Puff daddy produced this song. You might find it awesome that biggie is the son of Jamaican immigrants. In fact many of the NYC hip hop artists are of Jamaican descent. Slick Rick, heavy D plus more
I was still a teenager And discovered my love for Hip Hop B.I.G was one of those artists I gravitaed towrds bcus Of how poetic his lyrics were. I'm now 40 and miss him.
This is in my top 5 of songs that are sampled. Herb Alperts song "Rise" ( 1979) in this.. is freaking phenomenal !! -- And other song is Tech9 with "Bout Ta' Bubble" -- with a sample of "Beat Box" from Art of Noise (1984)
The hook is lifted from La-Di-Da-Di by Doug E Fresh & MC Ricky D (aka Slick Rick). Arguably the most sampled/referenced hip-hop track of all time. React to that one next :D
Hip hop and rap had a foundation of being a lyricist, being able to spit 16 bars. Unfortunately, those days are gone! When a new album would come out, we couldn't wait to hear what they were saying...like ewww...did you hear what they said! Today, just a bunch of mumbling w/beats.
This was the first single off of his new album (at that time), and it had been a while since he had released some new shit. This sounded so different from his other shit that I was confused listening to it the first few times. This was when Bad Boy started gettin' real flossy...larger than life...
This is why Biggie was the King Of N.Y. !!!!! And since this took a sample of, SLICK RICK’s LADI DADI .. .. .. “Ricky Ricky Ricky Can’t you see , somehow your words just hypnotize me” You should do that soon!
Real legend shit.
Biggie's delivery and flow are so smooth but hit so hard, once in a generation kind of talent
one in a billion talent, i still can't get over the fact he was just 24 when he was taken from us. RIP
@@mikeriley3556man i’ve just been getting into his music, makes me so sad we lost him that young. So many years ahead of him. RIP.
This is 20 plus years old. This is real hip hop. Bad ass ring tones too.
But it sounds fresher than today's stuff
This samples the Herb Alpert jazz instrumental”Rise”. You should listen to that. Also Hypnotize has a video
Chilling
"Hit em with the Force like Obi" is one of my favorite bars. This song is a timeless masterpiece.

It’s not a copy it’s a sample
The bass line is one of the best.
The sample is Herb Alperts song " Rise"
@@mls41173I'm gay for you girll

Rise is a truly masterpiece
I thought it was from Night Court. Lol! Thanks for the correction
I thought this is Elton John's sample
Puff daddy made the beat slicker,sicker!
Biggie has the greatest flow ever.
And have !!👆✌️
Method Man? A mí particularmente me gusta más method man
@@NicolasRicottimethod man tiene buen flow pero ve a Big su flow y forma de conectar verso con verso es hypnotizante
Agree
NOTORIOUS B.I.G. AND 2 PAC CAN GIVE EACH OTHER A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY!!!! TWO GREAT RAPPERS , TORN FROM THIS WORLD WAY BEFORE THEIR TIME!!!! R.I.P. TO B.I.G. AND 2 PAC.
Biggie's lyricism was always sooo smooth, on par, and had such and ebb and flow! So proficient and deep. He had heart for his craft!!! 🕊️
Real recognize real. This man would shine in any hip-hop era.
Can you imagine if he lived today, what music he would be making? RIP Biggie🌹
This one never gets old, still bumps! ❤️
This song brings back great memories of fun times. I love it!
Great song. I'm not big into hip hop but I did own this CD.
I use this for the warm up at the gym, gets my blood pumping! I love this!!!!
My favorite of his, the flow and beat are unstoppable.
I'm not into HipHop/Rap Music... but in 1997 as this song cames out, i was thrilled. This is one of the greatest HipHop Songs of all times. And btw the Original Video of Hypnotize is funny
The 🐐. The absolute GREATEST MC ever. Doesn’t get the respect he deserves
Crazy to think you never heard this before! RIP Biggie. He was a damn genius.
You gotta watch the official clip! I believe it was the most expensive rap clip to ever be made at the time. So baller.
You brought me back to the club in college! I was a DJ at a club and every time I put this track on everyone hit the floor!!!!
Notorious B.I.G. was a brillant rapoer; the arrangement is perfect
You should react to "Rise" by Herb Alpert which is the main song that is sampled in "Hypnotize"...Pretty much the funkiest instrumental ever...
Man... he was gone far too soon! Can't even imagine how big he would be today. A true talent! If you haven't, check out "Big poppa" and "one more chance"
oh, you should also try Junior Mafia " Get Money"!!
Love this song, still play this in my car all these years later
Do big poppa too please, B.I.G obviously
So nice to see Jay getting so excited 😆 Love you, Jay! ♥
Check out a guy named Bobby McFerrin singing a song called "dont worry be happy." There are no instruments in this song, he makes all the sounds on his own.
The flow in this song combined with his voice is hypnotising.
This is one of the greatest Rap song ever Notorious is absolutely amazing
Jay taking me back! This song still slaps 💯
Yessss! Back in THE day!!
Props to everyone giving a shout out to Herb Alpert's number hit from 1979: Rise, looking forward to Jay's reaction to Mo Money Mo Problems and Sky's the Limit.
Biggie and Puff opened up the genre for side-step and snap dancers. Pleasantville urbanites could now side-step snap AND feel cool. Love his sound and lyrics.
2:05 best part of the song
"One more chance" the audio version from Biggie is his best work to me. Check it out
I took my then fiancee (now husband) to see Mary J. Blige for his birthday & during intermission guess who came out & started rapping......Notorious B.I.G. 🎯
He was never divorcing you after that lol
This song still bumps! 🔥
Legendary .. Not called notorious for nothing. Almost everyone our age know that voice. Don't need a video to know it's Biggie. RIP my Brother.
A classic from back in the day ☺️ love your genuine reactions 💕
Fun Fact: his mom was a teacher.
and his uncle who lived in Jamaica also rapped out there and was very popular
We don't rap in Jamaica,we were MCs or deejays
His flow is undeniable
The goat of all goat's imo
The thing that blows my mind about Biggie is that he was killed at age 24. 24! One can only imagine what else he could’ve done had he lived many more years, very tragic.
He deffo trying so hard to hold back on singing along with this haha
My absolute Favoite Biggie is Juicy or One More Chance (the one with the voicemail), I'm not a huge rap fan but Biggie was on another level.
You really need to find the video of him rhyming on a street corner at age 17. It’s insane. Man was a damn legend. RIP Biggie 😕
I loved your reaction to this, Jay!
Old school Hip Hop just hits different for me. I could never sing the rap part but you best believe I kicked in on that chorus. 🤣 "Biggie, Biggie, Biggie, can't you see? Sometimes your words just hypnotize me."
who's the real dookie, meaning who's really the shit - hah! sampled herb alpert's "Rise"
SO many great tracks, but you HAVE to listen to "Warning".
You gotta do Notorious Thugs Biggie ft. Bone Thugs & Harmony !!!
Also JayVee respect for the Uncensored version
My ringtone baby!!!!!!
'Juicy' and 'warning' are sooo good too bro
This is a classic from Biggie Smalls. Next you should react to is the song that it samples, “Rise” by Herb Alpert.
Man, hearing that something from my teen years is now considered “old school” absolutely broke my heart 💔
When I heard my teen music on the classic rock station I had a bit of whhaaatt😔
How have you never heard this song? 😂😂😂
Biggie and 2pac the greatest rappers of all time its a shame they were taken away from us to early
Tupac is just a meme Bigg is the truth
This was an absolute banger back in the day. Never gets old. Bell Biv Devoe sampled this beat in their song "Run".
Ìconic! I can see the cars bouncing to the beat when I hear the intro😃 It's very risquè lyrics but I don't really hear it for some reason, I get so obsessed with the music.
For me it is f****** crazy that people don’t know this song! This is one of the greatest rappers of all time and if you’re a fan of rap you know these songs. WTF
Jay if you’re gonna do another movie reaction on your other channel you should react to Airplane, I guarantee you’ll laugh more than once watching it.
I am serious and don't call me Shirley ...
Oh stewardess, I speak jive!
I just have to say that I’ve been watching your reactions for awhile and just subscribed and you are adorable! Haha! I’m a 62 yr old married Momaw and I love your ear for music,your ear for guitars, horn sections, etc...You really seem to know and enjoy music..🕺🕺🕺ha!

You guys remember when this dropped? Was actually a great time, all things considered. Still can believe he's gone.
I was still a teenager And discovered my love for Hip Hop B.I.G was one of those artists I gravitaed towrds bcus Of how poetic his lyrics were. I'm now 40 and miss him.
When you get a moment, you have to check out the music video, it’s a full on production.
I am 52 years old, white as Wonder Bread! I live in Cody Wyoming. If you don't know the song there's something wrong with you
This is in my top 5 of songs that are sampled. Herb Alperts song "Rise" ( 1979) in this.. is freaking phenomenal !! -- And other song is Tech9 with "Bout Ta' Bubble" -- with a sample of "Beat Box" from Art of Noise (1984)
“Bruce Bruce who…” reference to the comedian. Bruce Bruce talked about this in his show a few years ago - so cool
This hip hop gem samples Herb Alpert's 'Rise'. You should react to that one.
“These guys can ACTUALLY rap”… that’s the exact thing we been trying to tell yall this new rap ain’t the same!!!!!
Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥 the goat!!!! Before he passed he was about to rightfully take spot as the best to ever do it.
one of the greatest hands down
And I’m here going ‘since when is Biggie old school?’ 😂
Take me back to 1997 when this song came out R.I.P biggie
Greatest of all time! Couldn’t even give you a next song to react to. React to ALL of them!!!
Another timeless classic!! Love this one!!
Hell yeah that beat is nice. Told you this sh*t was 🔥 you ought to drive with it flowing....
RIP BIGGIE 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
He was the flow and the king of beats
I'm going to have to watch this one twice love biggie
The hook is lifted from La-Di-Da-Di by Doug E Fresh & MC Ricky D (aka Slick Rick). Arguably the most sampled/referenced hip-hop track of all time. React to that one next :D
That man WAS on another level
and i swear he could do that all day.
Simply talented, bless up
Hey Jayvee how about some Time 4 Sum Aksion by Redman? Mike Tyson used to walk to the ring to that song.
Hip hop and rap had a foundation of being a lyricist, being able to spit 16 bars. Unfortunately, those days are gone! When a new album would come out, we couldn't wait to hear what they were saying...like ewww...did you hear what they said! Today, just a bunch of mumbling w/beats.
One of my favorite songs 🎵
Love it when you call me big papa is a great one to .
The 🐐 Frank White
Arguably one of the hardest rap songs ever.
D. Dot Angeletti made the beat actually. One of Puff’s “Hitmen”.
Love this song. Thanks
Fun fact: the chorus was taken from lodi dodi by slick rick. Loved how rappers used to pay homage to each other. They don't do that anymore
Amazing classic banger from biggie.
His flow is so easy and smooth is because he's rapping since he's 14
one of the top ten rap songs of all time
This was the first single off of his new album (at that time), and it had been a while since he had released some new shit. This sounded so different from his other shit that I was confused listening to it the first few times. This was when Bad Boy started gettin' real flossy...larger than life...
Hypnotize" by The Notorious B.I.G. sampled Herb Alpert's "Rise" which was number 1 this day in 1979.
This is why Biggie was the King Of N.Y. !!!!! And since this took a sample of, SLICK RICK’s LADI DADI .. .. .. “Ricky Ricky Ricky Can’t you see , somehow your words just hypnotize me” You should do that soon!
