Kwame is a late 80s rapper. Polkadot pattern clothing was his trademark early on. He was actually a good artist. Also, there's an Unsung episode on his career. You should definitely check it out.
Kwame was also the first dude I seen rock a blonde streak in his hair, which used to be like an alternative lifestyle thing... now mad dudes dye their hair blonde today.
After BIG kills the guy on the third verse tells him to “throw down some ice for the nicest MC”. On Friend or foe 98 biggie had passed the year before, Jay z kills the guy and says “ gave him 2 ice cubes I passed em, take that ice up for the nicest MC and please yo tell Big he’s unbelievable”.
BIG Was Definitely The Most Wittiest Rapper Ever…Even If It Wasn’t The Most Intelligent Topic The Way He Approached It Always Was..And He Grew So Much From Ready 2 Die To Life After Death … Can Only Imagine Where He Woulda Took It Later On.. RIP BIG 🙏🏾
I’m almost 47 years old and Big is my favorite rapper ever since he dropped Ready to Die. Bigs flow seems so effortless to him. He was simply Unbelievable. It was a sad day for Hip Hop the day Big and PAC were killed. RIP to 2 legends. People are still going to be listening to PAC and Big in a hundred years from now.
Kwame was a rapper from the late 80s/early 90s, he kinda help make Polkadot collared shirts popular. He became a producer later in his career (mid 2000s) and made some hits for some big artists.
When people talk about the best rappers or their favourite rappers etc, the importance of the voice often gets overlooked. Having a dope voice is important, Bigs voice was part of what set him apart from the rest.
Kwame was a dope late 80’s/early 90’s rapper that was part of the Idol Makers crew that consisted of Herby Luv Bug, Salt n Pepa, Kid n Play, Sweet Tee, Dana Dane, Kwamé and Antoinette. Kwame’s debut album The Boy Genius is a Hip Hop classic. He started the trend of wearing rayon polka dot shirts during that time period.
U reacted to Friend or Foe 98 by Jay-Z recently, his last bars was "..take that ice up for the nicest MC, & please tell BIG he's unbelievable, friend of foe biaaaaatch‼️...". ....Jay was referring to this song
This tune hit me so hard when I first heard it and I've had it as my alarm clock ringtone ever since.. I'm talking Nokia days muthafunka, that's how long😂..if ya don't know, now ya know 🙌🏿
Kwame was a kid wonder in the 90's who could produce&flow. He came w/that polka dot style&blonde spot in his hairline how Wiz Khalifah bit. Check him out,he's still producing until this day.
Yeah this song haunted Kwame for a long time. It was said this was the end of his career. Look him up he was a party rapper like Kid and Play. He was Hot in 91.
Love this song. Need more from the goat nas Memory Lane or what goes around!! Not only big uses his voice as instrument nas is an example of that. Same with method man is great at doing that.
Bedford-Stuyvesant or Bed-Stuy for short, is the hood he's from in Brooklyn. This is my favorite Biggie jam. Also, I agree with Biggie's voice sounding like an instrument in the song, a rappers voice is always important to me, Nas was the same in Illmatic and It Was Written, Pac also, he had like a melody to his flow. You gotta be a great to flow like that.
*You’re right. Voice/delivery is just as important as lyrics. This is music not a speech. Beans got shot and lost his voice. Even though his pen is still great, his music was never the same.*
@brkjeff if you heard the joint with him and Dave East "the real is back", you'll realize his voice fits very well on there and murks east on his own shit
@@ChicagoStyles23 it all good bro. I heard his voice. He also has to punch in after every bar and u can hear it. It’s a different Mac. Not for me that’s all.
Premo!!!!🔥🔥 History fact Premier had Biggie in the studio he let him hear some beats..When he heard this one he said Yoooo gimme that shit..but ppl didn't know that beat was meant for Nas lol
Jay z Grammy family freestyle Onyx last dayz dirty video. That’s the best Eminem used in 8 mile. Last dayz one of the hardest joints in history. Mourn I till I join u Tupac tribute
JAY Z, you throw down some ice for the nicest MC use it in friend or foe part two but he said he’ll tell Big he’s unbelievable Also, Kwame was a rapper back in the day used to always rock the polkadot
Stop Fronting Dex WHO SHOT YA PLAY IT Listen to the Greatest Rapper of all time WHO SHOT YA WHO SHOT YA WHO SHOT YA U WAS SUPPOSE TO BEEN PLAYED IT MONTHS AGO STOP BEING A HATER BRO
This whole, "he is the best" conversation is so weird to me. What does it actually mean? For example, take an MC like Jeru Da Damaja, someone Big had a little rap beef with. When i listen to songs like Mental Stamina, im like, i dont know if Big could ever rhyme like that lol So is Biggie really better than Jeru lyrically....purely lyrically ? Or is it just that Big talked about things more people could relate to ? I really dont know
“Breeze thru with the Q, 45 by my side”
Q45 is an Infiniti car model
He’s used that to switch to his .45 caliber pistol.
NASTY!
Biggie has probably the best flow in Hip Hop so far.
Hands mf down best ever!!!,,,
Naw that’s jay-z and next is em and I don’t even mess with em like that but I can’t deny his flow is impeccable and his strongest attribute.
AZ got the smoothes flow
@@kazesmith727 AZ is super nice...not sure I can argue against that one.
Biggie and Nas grew up under jazz music so if you hear that cadence, you can hear why they rap that way. High hats.

Dwayne was shit in the 80s
Kwame was also the first dude I seen rock a blonde streak in his hair, which used to be like an alternative lifestyle thing... now mad dudes dye their hair blonde today.
@KtotheG True..I didn't want to broach that conversation. However, he would have definitely been recognized as a trendsetter for today's artists.
And he is also the cousin to Vin Diesel
He still out here on IG and he is a big 80's toy reviewer now. He def reinvented himself.
DJ Premier never disappoints with the beats🔥🔥🔥
NEVA!🐐#PREEMO
"THROW DOWN SOME ICE FOR THE NICEST MC" 🙏🏾👑🗽🍎
After BIG kills the guy on the third verse tells him to “throw down some ice for the nicest MC”. On Friend or foe 98 biggie had passed the year before, Jay z kills the guy and says “ gave him 2 ice cubes I passed em, take that ice up for the nicest MC and please yo tell Big he’s unbelievable”.
Fun fact they sampled R. Kelly's voice for the hook. Its unbelievable was a line from " Your bodies Calling"
That’s why the Goat Jay z said at the end of friend or foe here’s some ice take that up for the nicest emcee and please yo tell big he’s unbelievable
BIG Was Definitely The Most Wittiest Rapper Ever…Even If It Wasn’t The Most Intelligent Topic The Way He Approached It Always Was..And He Grew So Much From Ready 2 Die To Life After Death … Can Only Imagine Where He Woulda Took It Later On.. RIP BIG 🙏🏾

Man… he whooped tha shit outta that beat jeez
Jay Z Was Referencing That BIG Bar With The 2 Cubes Of Ice Line
Rakim I believed dabbled with the Saxophone so he was 1st to master using your voice and words as an instrument and changed the game from that point.
Check out Kwame - "Only You" or "The Rhythm". Dude had people wearing Polka-dot shirts for about a year. 😁

If you haven't done so already, you need to check Biggie's debut on record..Party & Bullshit.. instant classic 👌🏿👊🏿

About time lol but yeah this one of the ones if not the one
Biggie & bone thugs n harmony, Notorious thugs 🔥🔥
Big’s verse on “the world is filled” is in my top 5
You need to do your research about biggies ready to die the stort behind thar is amazing. Biggie was really in the streets heavy
Two best PAC albums were 2Pacalypse Now (first mainstream album) and Makaveli (last album)
6:43 Watch the video for Kwame called THE RHYTHM. Kwame used to rock polka dots.
Speaking of that... You need to react to Triple Beam Dreams by Rick Ross ft. Nas...
