Yeah I'm Aware, But Going Back To His Presense The Whole Track You're Hearing Kim And While She Held Her Own Spitting It Bigs Voice And Presence Was On Another Level

Same When He Did The Hook For "Drugs"

I definitely agree. No one has that same kind of mic presence

The catalog was limited, but the quality still holds up well and he was just getting started. RIP Big....
This is the key thing. I just registered to a lot of his music that I hadn't heard in 20 years. A lot has changed in my life since then. And the music still resonates. Great lyrics, themes I can still relate to, and impeccable flow. His music defined the crack era in queens for me.

getting respect as a nice guy is super tricky out here

...here's some advice, don't ever buy into that nice guy shyt, biggie smalls was no nice guy...he proudly bragged and boasted about selling crack to his community, his actions helped destroy many lives...today he has a nice mural in 'bedstuy'...same place so many dreams died, futures destroyed, and now so many yuppies exploit....biggie commands respect in the black community.... nice guys don't...I know of so many nice guys who sacrificed for their community who can hardly even get any p*ssy

nice guys who bought into the myth, fly right and later get a piece of the pie.... treat women nice, help kids go to college, don't sell or do drugs, give to the less fortunate even if you weren't that lucky damn yourself,dress for success, take responsibility, give mommy all the credit, even if you missed daddy.... make everybody happy...the myth of a nice guy...what a lie, that biggie mural in bedstuy is a reminder that if you want respect in life you might have to push that nice guy shyt to the side...the community be damned,

To sacrifice so much as a nice guy,even if you didn't get rich doing it, at least you could be recognized walking down the street o... someone could actually say hi or something even if I don't have a mural or anybody knows me by name...but all the same a nice guy's life is hardly anything to write home about...

I am not saying take down biggies mural(he's like the black patron saint of brooklyn ) I am not even saying go on no campaign to recognize and prop up nice guys (which would continue the lie)
I am just saying that getting respect as a nice guy is super tricky out here...
