Gotta love some old school Biggie, right?  Somebody I'm much more excited to get on my playlist at school.

I guess there's a movie about this dude?  I kinda want to see it, not gonna lie.  Unless it's super iffy like the one about Tupac, then I might pass.

The Notorious B.I.G. - Dead Wrong

Artist:  Biggie Smalls, aka The Notorious B.I.G. feat. Eminem
Song:  Dead Wrong
Album:  Born Again (1999)
Genre:  Rap
Language:  Strong

So I've been working on an old school sounding rap beat today a little.  It's nothing like the style of this song, but it's heading in this direction.

While Biggie never actually met Eminem, nor did they even record the verses in the same year, they work so well together.  I'm really sad that Big died before he could really hit his career stride, but we still have a pile of solid music from him, yeah?

The Notorious B.I.G. - Going Back To Cali

Artist:  The Notorious B.I.G., Biggie Smalls
Genre:  Rap
Language:  Strong

Let's start to round out the year with one of the best rappers there was.  Biggie has some fantastic flow to all his stuff and his some pretty heavy subject matter at times too.  I don't mean to imply that other guys don't tackle big things or anything, I've just been listening to Biggie a little more recently.  Suicidal Thoughts?  That song's heavy as all hell, you can't tell me you listen to that without the end catching you up a little bit.

I love his beats.  It's one of the things that I didn't realize till recently is that you can really tell the people who were touched by Dr Dre and those who weren't.  Biggie's sound is the old school gangster sound that I really really love.  All the beats sound more in line with aspects of Wu-Tang and that's a good direction in my opinion.

Love this dude though, so here ya go.
