At 2:39 Biggie says “Strapped like Bamboo but I don’t sling guns” it was from the 1993 HBO movie Strapped with Bookeem Woodbaine and Fredro Star who plays Bamboo
@@unemployicus How he was the one by Biggie side telling he what to put out. Biggie wasn't good a puttin out singles he needed Puffy by his side you trippin the same way Jay-Z needed Dame Dash by his side early on . Puffy helped create Biggie and giving us them big commercial jams for TV we not here to shit on Puffy.
@marvincartagena4599 Facts that's why I don't get caught up in what he done. I wasn't there I don't know what's true are false. But I know he was a game changer.
Biggie was only 21 when he dropped this masterpiece. He was 18 when he started rapping. That's not being great at rapping. That's pure, God given, TALENT. R.I.P. The Notorious B.I.G. One of the greatest artists to ever lend his talent to the game of rap.
I think what makes biggie special is that he was clearly very talented, artistic, intelligent, and interesting, but he had a tough life growing up in a bad neighborhood and just became a product of his environment. It’s the combo of knowing he was a regular joe class wise with feelings but knowing his dark side and that he desperate to make money any way he could that the lyrics don’t come across as phony or over the top, it sounds and feels authentic and real
This hits so much harder now then back when it came out. Sorry cant feel this hardcore appeal of this new age of rap. Drug dealer based rap Vs. Drug users rap
Instantly loved it. Listening to Biggie today to honor his life and legacy. He’s been gone today, 03/09/2023, 26 years ago, but his legacy lives on! ❤❤🕊️🕊️
Its supposed to say Blue suits. Ive heard him say blue suits on a radio freestyle but they chose to cut it out the album. Once you hear him say blue suits you can even hear it in the siren a little it sounds so simular
1:32 He talks about "The Ave" where he used to sell drugs. He was talking about it in "I've got a story to tell" and that same shop or "store" is in his video "Juicy".
hell naw, this version fkn sucks compared to the actual original version we all grew up with... the version that was known since the album first released... this one is one of those bullshit "remastered" versions that had to be made the official version after a Federal Court ruled they couldn't contain the samples we all know the songs with bcuz Bad Boy never paid for them.. the fact that so many ppl like u don't even realize it's not the same song & that it's missing such noticeable samples in it upsets the hell out of me.. this song literally sounds half empty.. half finished
This album was released in 1994.... That's 30 years ago, and Biggie was only 21 at the time! I don't know why, but this is all very hard for me to comprehend!
This was the first biggie smalls song I ever heard. I was locked up with larceny from junior mafia and he had it on cassette tape. Heard it about a year and a half before everyone else heard it
@@texasag6297 bruh, I never even heard of this song up until last year stumbling upon it on UA-cam. Most of his hits have 400M+ views, this has under 4.
R.I.P. to Biggie, can any of you imagine what this mans' raps would be like today if he'd been allowed to keep growing? What a loss the world had to go through losing Big. Respect and big love to Bigs family.
I love this song so much sheesh. All of his lyrics are so clever with emphasis and power. I know it might sound cliché but he is legendary to east coast rap and he is intelligent and intricate. And all of his music is legendary. This one just claps a lil more.
Yes but dude you probably don't search hard enough there are good artists out today no they ain't legends like Biggie but they are good. Check out Merkules,NBA Youngboy, Moneybagg Yo Blac Youngsta

He referenced no-name movies all the time for some reason like Major Payne and King of New York (Frank Wright)
