I think my favorite line from "The What" is probably <I>Bitches I like em brainless,<BR/>Guns I like em stainless steel.</I> And "Gimme the Loot" is a classic as well, as well as being maybe his most violent song.<BR/><BR/>i'll have to check out that jay-z one though, that's one i haven't heard. thanks for the recommendation, man. hope all is well in the big easy.<BR/><BR/>--danielDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05272633964011111103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848471753025049912.post-84095230337847986112009-01-13T12:39:00.000-05:002009-01-13T12:39:00.000-05:00Hey Daniel,You hit some good ones, no doubt. "Juic...Hey Daniel,<BR/><BR/>You hit some good ones, no doubt. "Juicy" is definitely a good contender for the number one spot-- when he comes on and says "It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up magazine," it's like, bam, you're right there in with him. The fleetingness of life tends to be a big theme throughout Biggie's work as if he senses his early death waiting just beyond the meridian of his vision, and though "Juicy" is an uplifting track, still present is that notion that wherever he is, on the corner or on the stage, it is only a passing station on the way to demise. <BR/><BR/>Good call with "Things Done Changed" too-- you named the lyric that a lot of people seize onto in that track, and it definitely is one of the most lucid social commentaries in hip-hop. But the part I feel the most in that track is "Instead of a mac-10 he tried scappin/Slugs in his back and that's what the fuck happened." <BR/><BR/>A couple of my own favorites:<BR/><BR/>- The remix to "One More Chance," which plays an interesting counterpart to the male-ego fantasy of the original track. "Heart throb never, black and ugly as ever, still I stay coochied down to my socks."<BR/><BR/>- "Gimme the Loot," one of B.I.G.'s most acrobatic performances. "Big up, big up/It's a stick up, stick up/and I'm shootin niggas quick if you hiccup." Dude loves to talk about the hiccups for some reason.<BR/><BR/>- "The What" Dig the badass chorus. "Fuck the world, don't ask me for shit/Everything you get ya gotta work haaaard for it"<BR/><BR/>- But perhaps my favorite performance of all is not even on a B.I.G. record, but rather on "Brooklyn's Finest" on Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt, when the king and the heir face down. "Hit ya, back split ya/Fuck fist fights and lame scuffles/Pillow case to your face make the shell muffle/Shoot your daughter in the calf muscle/Fuck a tussle/Nickel plated/Sprinkle coke on the floor, make it drug related."<BR/><BR/>Love<BR/>Jacob M.THE DOCTORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01638142465296178103noreply@blogger.com
