Hip-Hop Quotable...

B-I-G...G-I-E a.k.a B-I-G...
Get it? Biggie.
Also known as the bon apetit,
rappers can't sleep need sleepin'
BIg keep creepin'
Bullets keep seekin'
Casualtis-ly treatin'
Dumb rappers need teachin'.
Lesson A: Don't FUCK wit B-I,
That's that-- oh I..
Thought he was wack,
Oh come, come now
Why y'all so dumb now?
Hunt me or be hunted
I got three hundred and fifty-seven ways
to simmer/sautee
I'm the winner ALL DAY
Lights get dimmer down Biggie's hallway
My forte causes Caucasians to say,
"He sounds demented"-- car: weed-scented,
If I said it, I meant it
Bite my tongue for no one.
Call me EVIL.
Or unbelievable.

"Unbelievable" -Notorious B.I.G

Going on today's BIGGIE theme, this is my favorite Biggie song of all time. I just wrote that off of memory-- I know the whole thing forwards and backwards. This is the type of mastery of words and wittiness that was commonplace for Big. This is what made him so great. It's not like he was saying anything that anyone else wasn't saying. The cliches, the cars, sex, money, oh yes. But it's the way he laid it down that was so unique. And inspiring. And for all you wack lil here-today-gone-tomorrow rappers? "Don't be mad, UPS is hiring!"
