![]() ![]() The Plantiff, fearing for his daughters life, makes the sensible decision to drop the charges and allow Biggie Smalls to remain richer than Richie. Well, Biggie goes on to explain that you needn’t be worried because at his arraignment, he or one of his crew hand a note to the plantiff that explains that his or her daughter is tied up in a Brooklyn basement. How are you going to get out of this one Biggie? Especially since you don’t even deny having done whatever crime it was that they charged you with. Now, obviously putting hoes in DKNY and Versace isn’t a crime, nor is rapping about blunts and broads, tits and bras, menage a trois, OR EVEN sex in expensive cars but whatever it was, Biggie ends on the revelations that he has clearly been arrested for something. Richer than Richie, till you niggas come and get me Your daughter’s tied up in a Brooklyn basement (shh)įace it, not guilty, that’s how I stay filthy (not guilty) Tits and bras, ménage à trois, sex in expensive carsĪt my arraignment, note for the plaintiff That’s how most of these so-called gangsters passĪt last, a nigga rappin bout blunts and broads Gonna blast squeeze first ask questions last Them niggas ride dicks, Frank White push the sticksīulletproof glass tints if I want some ass ![]() Now who’s the real dookie, meaning who’s really the shit prefer Versace (that’s right)Īll Philly hoes, dough and Moschino (c’mon)Įvery cutie wit a booty bought a Coogi (haaaaah!) Pretty intense, huh? But in case you were too caught up in the rhymes or distracted by Puff Daddy doing everything he could to get attention, here’s the lyrics: Now, there are many segments of this song that I could choose from: He throws a lot of references out at us – only half of them I understand – and I could spend an entire day over-analyzing the criminal way Puff Daddy (as he was probably referred to at that point, although maybe it was “Puffy”) tries to steal the lime light in literally every single scene he’s in during the music video, but the verse I want to focus on comes about half way through the song. This week, we’ve got “Hypnotize” by No! No! Notorious! B.I.G.! ![]() “He elevated it to ‘the struggle.’ ” - M.R.I’m starting a new weekly segment called “Over-analyzing Rap Lyrics” where I over-analyze rap lyrics, picking one song by one rapper to over-analyze. “I loved that he described what a lot of hustlers were going through in the streets - dissed and feared by teachers and parents and neighbors and cops, broke, working a corner to try to get some bread for basic shit - as more than some glamorous alternative to having a real job,” wrote Jay. In his book Decoded, Jay-Z explained how Biggie’s ad-lib about being arrested simply for “trying to feed my daughter” held deep meaning. Co-produced by Poke of the Trackmasters and Puffy, it’s a stark departure from the dusty boom-bap sound New York rap was known for and boasted a smoothly harmonized chorus from soon-to-be famous girl group Total. ![]() “Juicy” was full of layers both prominent and subtle: It not only epitomized the Notorious B.I.G.’s evolution from street hustler to successful musician, but also symbolized how the East Coast rap establishment learned to adapt to shifting pop tastes and a then-omnipresent G-funk sound. “It was all a dream…” goes one of the most famous opening verses in history. ![]()
