Most of this record is subliminal shots at NaS with Jeru Da Damaja and Raekwon/Ghostface catching strays. Basically, this is Big listening to NaS’ record The Message and responding to that record. As a whole, the whole song is Big responding to the hate that was coming his way for becoming super successful commercially and people thinking he lost his edge because he wouldn’t respond to 2Pac’s attack toward him.

And still better than 100% of rappers today.

Cursed it,rehearsed it;means other rappers dissed his flow,but on the lo.practiced his style

Charles Bronson use to make action movies.

Reign on top was short was at Nas. And yes. 6 Flags Great Adventure theme park in Jersey.

The Madd Rapper at the beginning was supposed to be Tupac. Tupac’s 4th album was All Eyez On Me

Woooo You gonna make me go back and listen to Life after Death again ... Great work PRSPR

Biggie is the GOAT 🐐....unbelievable

"10 g,s for blow" (blow is cocaine)

Whenever u get around to listen to Nas "Last Real Nigga Alive" he admits that this song was a diss to him bc Big had a lil beef with Rae and Nas was in the middle. Plus there was a fight for the king of NY at the time

OH SHIT!!! That means that you need to go watch the movie, "Blow". Like, immediately! Lol. You're welcome!

🐐 🐐 🐐

Big featuring Jay-Z I love the dough

You’ve never heard this song? I’m white as a ghost and listened to this as a kid.

In Jay Z's Dead Presidents 2 Jay says "without rap I'd be crazy straight, been making money since eighty-eight" that was a reference to his drug dealing. Big says in this song "conscious of your nonsense in eighty-eight, sold more weight..." Also Nas addressed this song in Last Real Nigga.

As great as Illmatic was, Ready to Die overshadowed it back in 1994. Then Nas came with It Was Written. So, Big was coming with Life After Death. Hey Nas, Your reign on the top was short like leprechauns 🤣🤣🤣

Tupac (Madd Rapper (4 albums)), Nas (Your reign on the top was short like leprechauns As I crush so-called willies, thugs and rapper-dons) Raekwon & Ghostface(why try? throw bleach in ya eye), DJ Premier (son, I'm suprised u run with them) He dissed them all with no naming names, illest!

Wishing you luck on your yt journey 💪🏾 keep pushing

UNC DIDNT WRITE NONE OF HIS RAPS HE JUST WENT IN THE STU AND RAPPED 😩😩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥AND HES THE BEST RAPPER EVER

Reign on the top was short like Leprechauns was for Nas

Cats in NY was talking shit about Big and how flashy Bad boy was(“... ni99as use to be on cruddy shit took home ready to die studied shit now they on some money shit...”)Big got the track from Premo(“...Son I’m surprised you run with them...”) and told him he was going to go at some of his folks(Jeru da Damager/Nas...) Premo heard the joint and was like👍🏾 !

Yes been waiting on this one for a minute!!

5:15 Blow = Coke aka yeyo aka leaves fermented in gasoline, battery acid, ammonia and a couple of other lethal ingredients

Preme laced that loop.

He's talking to Premier about Ghostface and Raekwon when he said I'm surprised you run with them.

#160 keep the vibe mannnn.🔥 you wasn’t alive when this shit dropped and you broadcasting to the world analyzing it. That’s Dope as well. 🎧

There's a back story to this record.

Tupac (Madd Rapper (4 albums)), Nas (Your reign on the top was short like leprechauns As I crush so-called willies, thugs and rapper-dons) Raekwon & Ghostface(why try? throw bleach in ya eye), DJ Premier (son i cant believe u run with em) He dissed them all with no naming names, illest!

In the 90s most artists like biggie rhymes were aimed at other artists. You'll have to know the back story to relate. This was a diss song at jay,nas,raekon,Ghostface, premiere, and a few others

When he throw bleach your eye you can't see now you braille reading

This was a mobb deep wu tang diss and one other person people didn't know this was a diss

💯💯💯💯

Yo P.......at this point is it safe to say Premo is the GOAT❓🤷🏾‍♂️😂

You cursed but reheated it. That was a shot at 2 pac. At the end of hit em up he was cursing and yelling.

People love to bring up the 2pac was wrong for coming at biggie but when biggie was alive a lot of new York rappers didn't like him in this song he is airing out some of the rappers that was hating on him such as raekwon, jeru, nas

Damn I love your reactions and your breakdown but you be making me feel old as shit! Ain't got nothing to do with you, I guess words change, slang changes. "To blow", used as a verb, is to smoke weed or, in a different context, to get big and come up, which is how you understandably interpret "10 gs for blow". But 100 percent, he's using "blow" as a noun, the universal (back then at least) term for powder coke, which, converted to freebase, was Biggie and really damn near everyone's hustle back then. It's hard to paint the picture of how much crack was king back then. No exotic, no E pills, back then dudes from the hood wasnt down with being fiends, and the market wanted crack and dudes became millionaires off that shit. In my city (Reading) heroin was king in the 90s but it always shocked me when I travelled how pervasive crack was damn near everywhere else. Most shit has gotten worse since then, but the younger generation losing their taste for Coke was a positive. Ain't nobody talking bout that dumbass shit no more. If y'all would just leave the opiates alone lol Again I only comment bc you open minded and dont pretend to know what you don't know, humble enough to say so. I go through it. First time I heard the word plug used as a connect, it broke my ears, bc when I was coming up, "dudes a straight plug" meant a lame, a nut. Go figure

That bitter rapper in the beginning is supposed to be Nas. Biggie disses Nas on this track and other :mad rappers"

blow is coke not weed

This a shot at nas

The skit and song is a diss at Nas. Listen to Nas Last real nigga alive

Have you done Dax devils calling yet bro?

Blow is coke bro lol
