  3. 2shooters Says:

    Remember back in the days, when niggaz had waves
    Gazelle shades, and corn braids
    Pitchin pennies, honies had the high top jellies
    Shootin skelly, motherfuckers was all friendly
    Loungin at the barbeques, drinkin brews
    With the neighborhood crews, hangin on the avenues
    Turn your pagers, to nineteen ninety three
    Niggaz is gettin smoked g, believe me

    Propz BIG..

  4. 2shooters Says:

    So you wanna be hardcore
    With your hat to the back, talkin bout the gats in your raps
    But I cant feel that hardcore appeal
    That youre screamin, baby Im dreamin
    This aint christopher williams, still some
    Mcs got to feel one, caps I got to peel some
    To let niggaz know… that if you fuck with big-and-heavy
    I get up in that ass like a wedgie
    Says who? says me, the lyrical
    Niggaz sayin, biggie off the street, its a miracle
    Left the drugs alone, took the thugs along with me
    Just for niggaz actin shifty
    Sticks and stones break bones, but the gatll kill you quicker
    Especially when Im drunk off the liquor
    Smokin funk by the boxes, packin glocks is
    Natural to eat you niggaz like chocolates
    The funk baby

  5. Calorie King Says:

    B.I.G, P-O, P-P-A!

    RIP BIG!

  7. DominicanChazz Says:

    I’ll never forget waking up to my aunts screaming on the phone, telling me to turn on MTV! and seeing across the screen “The Notorious BIG shot and killed”. Shit ruined my 12th bday. But, my favorite Biggie songs are probably “Gimme The Loot”, “I Got A Story To Tell”, “One More Chance Remix”, “Victory” and “Niggas Bleed”. Favorite album, Ready To Die. Ranking in my top, #2, behind Nas.

  8. Young Trump Says:

    Yep Yep RIP… Steak, Eggs and Welch’s Grape for BIG today!!

    “Dude brought the East back, y’all better believe that!!”

  18. BKBRAWLER Says:

    For Those of you who still dont think B.I.G. is the best ever… Name me a rapper who had their 1st 2 albums certified classics with the 2nd one being a double album. B.I.G. had it all… The voice, charisma, metaphors, stories (the best story teller to me), hardcore underground shit, commercial shit,club shit and he could battle rap. He could write hits for other people. He started a crew that went plat. He made Lil Kim who was a blueprint for every rapper chick that came out after. For those of you to young.. When B.I.G. dropped his first cd the whole rap game changed forever. Nas 1st album didnt do that and jay came out after. Nas was NY’s hero but everyone kinda forgot about nas after Ready to Die hit. That cd was being played in every car in every house on every walkman. Everyone was arguing over which song was the best. Then who shot ya came out and Frank White was born. The King of NY title started with B.I.G and at this point it should be called the Biggie award. I love Jay-Z and Nas but if B.I.G. was still alive Ny hip-hop scene would of had younger dudes takin over by now because B.I.G would of done more to help them. Big would of got in videos and been on song to help them. Thats the kind of nigga he was. Same for 2 Pac. They both liked to help niggas get on. These niggas is crabs. B.I.G. is the goat fuck what ya heard and fuck yall with short memories.

    favorite lyrics:
    Quick to spit Biggie name on shit, make my name taste
    like ass when you speak it, see me in the street
    your jewelry you can keep it, that be our little secret
    See me, B that is, I that is, G whiz
    Motherfuckers still in my biz
    Don’t they know my nigga Gutter fuckin kidnap kids?
    Fuck em in the ass, throw em over the bridge
    That’s how it is, my shit is laid out
    Fuck that beef shit, that shit is played out
    Y’all got the gall, all I make is one phone call
    All y’all dissapear by tomorrow
    All your guns is borrowed, I don’t feel sorrow
    Actually, your man passed the gat to me, now check this

  21. PIGGY ROSS Says:

    REST IN PEACE NOTORIOUS BIG

  22. Corey Says:

    Live from Bedford Stuyvesant,
    The livest one,
    Representin BK to the fullest!

    RIP B.I.G

  23. $lim Says:

    BIG was that dude! Both of his albums are not just classics but there are flawless. That is hard to do. No disrespect to Pac but BIG is the most beloved figure in hiphop for the main reason that he showed everybody else love and he brought the east back!

    Favorite Songs: I got a story to tell, Machine Gun Funk, My Downfall, Warning

  24. goodasdead Says:

    I’m tired of hearing about how great this dude was. It he was so great, he would have been bullet proof. So long to rubbish!

  25. goodasdead Says:

    I’m just kidding, big poppa was awesome. Biggie biggie can’t you see, twelve years after your death, your still nothing to me!

  26. jazz jr Says:

    FUCK THE NIGGAZ MAMA WHO TOOK HIM OUT!!!!

  27. ChaseNmoney Says:

    Biggie Smalls R.I.P. Greatest of All Time. Before his time man. Favorite song is Big Poppa because his style, flow, lyrics, and swagger on the track was second to none! Favorite verse is probably the 2nd verse on “Niggas Bleed”. Still get goosebumps!

  28. Smurf Says:

    Ha ha ha ha ha, check out this bizarre
    Rapper style used by me, the B.I.G. (b.i.g.)
    I put my key you put your key in, money we’ll be seein (c’mon)
    Will reach the fuckin ceiling, check it

    Whut’s beef?

    Who the fuck is this?
    Pagin me at 5:46 in the mornin crack a dawnin
    Now I’m yawnin, wipe the cold out my eye
    See who’s this pagin me and why…
    It’s my man Pop from the barbershop

    WarninG!

    I hope it makes me a better man
    Take a better stand
    Put money in my moms hand
    Get my daughter this college plan, so she don’t need no man
    Stay far from timid

    Sky’s the limit

    I made the change from a common thief
    To up close and personal with Robin Leach
    And I’m far from cheap, I smoke skunk with my peeps all day
    Spread love, it’s the Brooklyn way

    Juicy

    Rest In Peace BIG POPPA!
    Greatest Rapper of all times

  32. Biggie Biggie Biggie Says:

    Best lyric “I feel for you, like chaka khan i’m the don, pussy when I want, rolex on the arm”

  33. BigLou Says:

    BIG died so fuckin young………………..I hated the Westcoast for a long time for letting this happen to my Brooklyn MC…….for the record: SUGE is a piece of shit!

  34. MAB Says:

  35. jae Says:

    R.I.P Biggie Smalls
    the best to ever do it in my opinion
    favourite biggie track of all time is My Downfall

    “Look man, you wanna see me locked up, shot up
    Moms crotched up over the casket, screamin bastard
    Cryin, know my friends is lyin
    Yall know who killed Im filled Im with the lugars from they rugers
    Or they desert, dyin aint the shit but its present
    Kinda quiet, watch my niggaz bring the riot
    Giving cats the opposite of diets
    You gain thirty pounds when you die no lie, lazy eye
    I was high when they hit me, took a few cats with me
    Shit, I need the company (uh-huh)
    Apoligies in order, to tyanna my daughter
    If it was up to me you would be with me, sorta like
    Daddy dearest, my vision be the clearest
    Silencers so you cant hear it
    Competition still fear it, shit dont ask me
    I went from ashy to nasty to classy, and still”

  36. FlipStar Says:

    Too many BIG verses to choose from. Dude was BEYOND his time.

    Nuff respect to the KING OF RAP

    Uhh, uhh, uhh
    Who the fuck wanna squeeze?
    My Desert Ease make MC’s freeze
    You wakin up in cold sweats, they just dreams
    You still apoligizin, analyzin, my size and your size and
    realizin, a fist fight would be asinine
    You just pop wines I must pop nines
    Genuine steel piece, nozzle in your grill piece
    You’re shook up, two bricks, every cook up
    We can hook up, all I see is the future
    Disrespect, I shoot ya
    By the way, them bricks, get flipped weekly
    Sold by soldiers that mix weed with the leak leak
    Die for a dollar nigga, life ain’t sweet
    Play for keeps wet shirts with experts on the creep
    I be the mob fiance, about to marry it
    Illegal transactions in Farragut with Arabics
    Why not, they fit twelve up in the bedroom
    Imagine what they stash is like, make you a classic like
    my first LP, beef with me is unhealthy
    Fuck around and get an ul-cer, loose your pulse or
    collapsed lung, look how many gats I brung
    For them homos, still doin promos
    Break both your legs you’re movin slow-mo, got shined to glow mo’
    Nine hundred and ninety six grams, you need for mo’

  37. hiphop Says:

    in my opinion theres no doubt biggie got pac killed cause hit em up was just to painful to let go and to embarasing to not retaliate and biggie new he couldnt touch pac when it came to rappin…that slow flow and punchlines was nothin when it came to tupac’s electrifying cut throat hardcore flow and lyrics, biggie was just no match for pac….so like the sore loser he was he tried to take it to the next level and even there he got smoked ..wut u think wus gonna happen? ..u kill Pac and then live happily ever after??? fuckin dumass ass nigga
    anyways biggie was good rapper r.i.p but im not gonna kiss his ass jus cause he’s dead…In my opinion before the first shooting tupac wus just a cool dude who showed love to all black ppl out there and was just tryin to see everyone make it and overcome poverty and if biggie wusnt such a jealous, envious snake maybe they’d both be alive.. TUPAC was hiphop , THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME R.I.P MAKAVELI THE DON

  38. hiphop Says:

    when i really think about it biggie was just a discusting ..cowardly..shiesty, backstabing, ugly and shameless character…i mean i understand the man’s dead but let me really asses this guy before we glorify him any further… sold crack to pragnant woman…rapped about raping woman… i understand hiphop is hardcore and thats fine but goddam this guy even went as far as dissin pac after his death and subliminally braggin about pac’s death on alotta songs and verses he put out after pac got killed …i mean this guy was backstabbing asshole in every sense of the word so before u tell me not to diss a dead man think about that …so i choose to comment and not honor him ..he doesnt deserve it in anyway

  39. EmM HoLLa Says:

    …As my pilot, steers my Leer, yes my dear
    Shit’s official, only, the Feds I fear
    Here’s a tissue, stop your blood clot crying
    The kids the dog, everybody dying — no lying
    So don’t you get suspicious
    I’m Big Dangerous you’re just a Likkle Vicious
    As I leave my competition, respirator style
    Climb the ladder to success escalator style
    Hold y’all breath, I told y’all — death
    controls y’all, Big don’t fold y’all, uhh
    I spit phrases that’ll thrill you
    You’re nobody ’til somebody kills you…
    -Notorious BIG…

    Some of the realest shyt he ever Spoke….

  40. shine95 Says:

    to #37,38, we all don’t know both BIG and Pac so there’s no reason to be all huffin and puffin about the situation. we can only love their music. the whole I’m a talk about or take personal shots at Biggie for 2pac or vice versa is all corny to me. yall need to get a life while your still breathin because were all sure that these ain’t. especially on worldstarhiphop, what are those lil kids riding for. all yall fans is caught up in the hype. 2 rappers are gone and that’s it. cut alll the corny east coast west coast shit. that shit makes our culture and us look corny.

  42. wolff Says:

    Welcome to my center
    Honies feel it deep in they placenta
    Cold as the pole in the winter
    Far from the inventor, but I got this rap shit sewed
    And when my Mac unloads
    I’m guaranteed another video
    Ready to die, why I act that way?
    Pop Duke left Mom Duke
    The faggot took the back way
    So instead of makin hoes suck my dick up
    I used to do stick-up
    Cause hoes is irritatin like the hic-CUPS
    Excuse me, flows just grow through me
    Like trees to branches
    Cliffs to avalanches
    It’s the praying mantis
    Deep like the mind of Farrakhan
    A motherfuckin rap phenomenon, plus

    [I got more glocks and techs than you]
    I make it hot [Nigga won't even stand next to you]
    Nigga touch me you better bust me
    tree times in the head
    Or motherfucker’s dead, ya thought so

    The What- Notorius BIG RIP

  43. BigLou Says:

    #37 and 38

    You clearly have no idea what the fuck your talking about so I wont waste too much energy……..

    PAC was iconic, but his lyrics were marginal…..BIGGIE had it all as an MC………as far as Biggie getting Tupac killed….what the hell do you know?

    I don’t know if SUGE had BIG killed cause I wasn’t there, I feel however he was responsible for hyping up the east coast west coast beef which eneded up in both legendary MC’s getting killed….so fuck SUGE!

  44. MidWestStandUp Says:

    I got a few Biggie Songs that still get me hype but the most meaningful to
    me on this day is:

    YOUR NOBODY TILL SOMEBODY KILLS YOU…

    Watch Casino, I’m the hip-hop version of Nicky Tarantino
    Ask Nino, he know
    Green with envy, the green tempts me
    to make the richest enemy, and take their cheese
    Take their spots, take their keys, make my faculty
    live happily, ever after in laughter
    Hah, never seen Cristal pour faster
    And to those bastards, knuckleheads squeeze lead
    Three of mine dead, nuttin left to do
    but tear they ass to shreds, leave em in bloodshed
    Incidents like this I take trips
    Lay up in Miami with Tamika and Tammy (huh)
    Some Creole C-O bitches I met on tour
    Push a peach Legend Coupe, gold teeth galore
    Told me meet em in the future later, they’ll take me shoppin
    buy me lavender and fuschia Gators
    Introduce me to playa haters and heavy weighters
    RICH BITCH SHIT, DRINKIN CRISTAL
    TIL THEY PISS THE SHIT
    THOROUGH BITCHES, A DEATH TO ANY BOROUGH BITCHES
    BE IN SPOTS WHERE THEY WERE NO BITCHES, YOU FEEL ME
    Reminesce on dead friends too
    You’re nobody til somebody kills you

    Real talk though goin thru reading these lyrics it make you feel like
    damn where has the music gone…wheres the stories like the ones
    Big told…I can still remember the first time I heard this Nigga spit
    LIVE at the Fox in the A back in what ‘94 or ‘95 it was electrifying!
    Not to mention comical when puff did a nose dive n the crowd n them
    niggas went all n his pockets, he came up looking like he got beat up:-)
    LOL but after it was over that Nigga Big was tryin to holla…damn my
    hatin azz girlfriend fakin like she was sick..lol oh well in the words of the goat
    “treat um like boxing stick n move stick n move!”

    RIP BIG..WE’LL ALWAYS LOVE BIG POPPA

  45. jo Says:

    my nigga king of ny juicy illest song of all timeee nuff saidd

  46. Ezee-T Says:

    When are we gonna let Biggie rest in peace. Biggies(and Pac’s) relevance in hip hop is only based on how commercially viable his name can still is. No rappers actually learned from his example both in life and rhyme. I stopped “buying” into the whole “dead rapper” fiasco after Tupac Ressurection.

  47. Ahijah Says:

    Juicy & Gimmie The Loot is my shit, Why does all 2 Pac and Biggie posts have to be fans arguing who’s the best just appreciate them both ? They were both ill……

    Everyday Struggle

  52. shine95 Says:

    #43, do not even go there about the mceein shit. yes we all know, 5 mics in the source. the first king of ny, yes he was the blueprint to blow up as a rapper/real mc package. yeah I know he was the complete package. Life after death is like the most complete album ever and fuck who say he got 5 mics because he died. that shit was Biggie at it’s fullest, most developed yet as an artist at his peak point but still was gettin better. we can’t front on 2pac either, 2pac had dope albums too.

    I just got a problem with these cornballs who say fuck 2pac I’m down with Biggie or fuck Biggie I’m down with 2pac. mothafucka these niggas don’t know you and they won’t ever know you in the future cause they won’t have a chance too cause they both dead is my point. They was both great.

    “LIve from bedford styverson the livest one, representin BK to the fullest,
    gat’s I pull it, bastards duckin when big be buckin
    chickenheads be cluckin in my bathroom fuckin
    it ain’t nuttin, they know big be handlin
    with the mac in the Ac door paneling
    bandaging mc’s, oxygen they can’t breathe
    mad tricks up the sleeve……

    you know how the weed go… ” “.

    fucked up aint it yall.
    ain’t nobody really saw his comin.

    Rest in peace and let the legacy live on
