DAMN. Wrote the sh*t down in my planner and STILL forgot.

Shout out to my boy Mikey Fresh for reminding me via his AIM away status. lol.

What? The "New York Post"? This is so strange I'm wondering if they were paid to write a review this nice.

As seen in previous posts, I'm using the upcoming "Notorious" motion picture as an excuse to showcase some of Biggie's work. Only this time, I'm posting more of the unpopular items not usually found around the net. At least not all in one place. Check it out below. 

Big, big shout out to the people over at Ifihavent, who collect classic hip-hop articles. An interesting site I've never seen before.

Remember when Bone Thugs-N-Harmony were fast-rapping their way through the '90s? Even if you had the bouncing syllables down to a science, half the time you still didn't know what the hell they were saying. But many of us still f*cked with it, 'cause their beats banged and whatever bars we could manage to recite was enough to make up for what we couldn't.

 Which one of B.I.G's lines was the hardest he ever spit?

Today's blog wasn't as easy a task as I thought it would be. Biggie had so many hard songs, it would take entirely too long for me to narrow down which one was the hardest of them all. But with a little thought, I decided that "Ready To Die" was the best choice, and for one reason: not only was the beat and lyrics hard, but this song-- which shared the name of the album from which it appeared-- proved to be just three years shy of living prophecy.

This blog is not random. In fact, I was asked to do something with some of Biggie's lyrics in honor of "Notorious," the Biggie movie that's slated for theatrical release January 16th.

What was I asked to do exactly? Either post Biggie's top five lines, hardest lyrics, or break down a verse. I'm a die-hard Biggie fan who came up on his music. But still, I deemed it nearly impossible to pick five hardest or cleverest lines out of countless, try to accurately interpret one of his verses, or even fish for some of his hardest lyrics. I'd be debating with myself for hours on end. So instead, I chose to post the lyrics from one of my favorite songs on the album.
