Much respect to the undisputed king. Nobody...
...and I mean nobody, was as polarizing as he in hip-hop history. He was money on everything; club joints, gangsta cuts, storytelling, etc. He made fun of himself and in the same breath he bragged on his undeniable swagger.
'Heart-throb, never/ Black and ugly as ever... however
I stay Googi down to the socks/ Rings and watch filled with rocks
And my jam knocks in your Mitsubishi/ Girls pee-pee when they see me,
Nava-hoes creep me in they teepee...' - Big Poppa
...And it was all true! He talked about it and lived it. A lot of cats talk about swag, a lot of cats talk about being the realest, a lot of cats talk about being the best, but Biggie was all of those things. His two ablbums he released while still living crushes 98% of damn near any other rappers whole catalog. He was truly the Julius Ceasar of rap.
