I absolutely love the voice message recordings approach in the intro, it was unlike anything at the time. He goes through everything he has done and that hes willing to do anything. This is one of the highlights of the album and an instant favorite.Īlthough this is not one of my favorites, I do think this album needed a track with this type of emotion from BIG. Its fast paced and short but to the point and its pronounced drum sounds as an accompaniment set a great stage for this type of story. It starts at 5:46 in tha mornin and ends with hearing somebody comin and a couple gunshots. Once again, this showcases BIGs storytelling so perfectly as he takes us through the knowledge of a plot to kill him. The entire track is laced with incredible wordplay and references that keep listeners engaged.įrom the moment he drops the first verse all the way to the end, his rhyming is impeccable and the way he aligns the last word in each bar to the pronounced drum beat makes his lyrics pop. While the entire song is BIG rapping, he alters his voice some to give the impression of a secondary person, which works well. This is a back and forth between two people in an intricate plot to commit a robbery (which BIG was familiar with from his real life experiences).
He takes us through the evolution of the street lifestyle and how things have changed (so step away with your fist fight ways).
While each producer made sure to bring their own expertise and style, each one made sure to have BIGs rhymes and flow at the forefront, making his lyrics pop and making sure that track after track was memorable.įrom his birth in the first verse to his incarceration in the last, each one takes us through a milestone in BIGs life accompanied with some great samples from Curtis Mayfield, Sugar Hill Gang and a few others. It is still ranked as one of the greatest albums in Hip Hop and the album that gave Bad Boy the notoriety it has today.įirst, well look at production and then go through track by track with a rating and best versebars as well as album strengths, weaknesses, and the overall album rating. While BIG was still getting his feet wet in the industry, 1994 would change all of that.īIGs album had a perfect balance of easy to understand tales from the streets, smooth laid back bangers and a delivery and flow that was (and still is) unmatched in the industry. It was as a result of this column that Uptown Records caught wind of this rapper and set up a meeting and later Sean Puff Daddy Combs would sign Smalls to the label.īefore anything would happen with Uptown though, Puffy would get fired from the label and went out on his own to create Bad Boy Records.

In 1992, that column would introduce rap fans to a hidden gem who went by the name of Biggie Smalls (taken from a 1975 movie character). The simplicity in the background beat and chorus lets BIGs lyrics shine perfectly. If search results are not what you looking for please give us feedback on where we canor should improve.
