Notorious B.I.G - Things Done Changed Appreciation

[mr.africa]

i remember putting in the CD in my walkman and the intro playing. biggie ending the intro with ' i got big plans, nikka-hahaha' and then 'things done changed' beat drops

Remember back in the days,
when nikkaz had waaaaves
Gazelle shaaaaaaaaaaades,
and corn braaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiids

And I'm down with the shyt too
For the stupid motherfukkers wanna try to use Kung-Fu
Instead of a Mac-10 he tried scrappin
Slugs in his back and, that's what the fukk happens

If I wasn't in the rap game
I'd probably have a key knee deep in the crack game
Because the streets is a short stop
Either you're slingin crack rock or you got a wicked jumpshot

Damn, what happened to the summertime cookouts?
Everytime I turn around a nikka gettin took out
shyt, my momma got cancer in her breast
Don't ask me why I'm motherfukkin stressed, things done changed


one big ass quotable, that entire song - one of my all time favorite songs!!!

 

[pointproven214]

all the internal rhymes and the assonance.

 

[Yehuda]

Back in the days our parents used to take care of us, look at 'em now, they're even fukking scared of us, calling the city for help because they can't maintain, damn, shyt done changed.

 

[OfTheCross]

the first few tracks off Ready to Die are fukking CRAAAAZY

 

[The Gimp]

My favorite big track

Pac never had classic songs like this

 

[kingofnyc]

Because the streets is a short stop
Either you're slingin crack rock or you got a wicked jumpshot

 

[MillionMills]

Slugs in his back and
That's what the fukk happened!

 

[Erratic415]

My favorite Biggie song along with Gimmie the Loot, which I actually thought was 2 different guys rapping when I first listened to it

 

[I love Latina women]

 

[mr.africa]

speaking of this song,i recently gave a young breh of mine and one of his friends a ride home.
now this friend of my breh, from the few conversations i've had with him, acts as if he is a hip hop scholar
and yet at the same time knows next to nothing before 2004 or something.
i always wear this expression when he talks hip hop

anyway on the ride i gave the 2 i played this song
and he's like 'who's this?'now he's young so i let it slide and tell him it biggie.
i'm like (he's suppose to be this hip hop head/biggie's voice is one of a kind)

anyway this part comes on:

For the stupid motherfukkers wanna try to use Kung-Fu
Instead of a Mac-10 he tried scrappin
Slugs in his back and, that's what the fukk happens
and he is like press rewind, i gotta hear that part again

that reaction just took me back to when i first heard that part of the song,cause that is exactly how i reacted!!
still a timeless record!!

 

[Da_Eggman]

Bruh went from, "man, don't nobody know this hip hop shyt like i do" to "Big E?" "play that again, i gotta hear what he said, that shyt is cold!"

At least the lil nikka is hearing some good music
