Just Cuz: Biggie Freestyle. Age 17

If you’re a hip hop fiend, this video should be a repeat for you. I’ve probably watched it over 100 times and still can’t get over how nasty B.I.G’s freestyle flow was. He wrecks it in this clip and has the block on fire. He was 17 at the time. R.I.P B.I.G

-Schneezy

and 1 more classic.

    @Tarzan: Pac was Fake because He was actually an educated artist? So your arguement is that He couldnt have been for real because He went to School? Really? Did u Know Biggie was raised in a Strict Christian household… Were He didnt celebrate birthdays?…”birfdays was The worst days”. Guess He musta been “Fake” too. MF Grimm probobly put more work in The streets than any emcee, and He grew up in upscale Manhattan and was nieghbors with Morgan freeman, and was on sesame St. As a Kid! I’ll admit, Pac was caught up, and He was aubviously in The midst of Bad Company @ deathrow, but to Call him à Fake is rediculouse. Especially in this bubble gum miami era of Rap fakes we live in. Pac was The Son of a Black Panther, & much like The movement himself, He was a contradiction of himself at Times and a Bit of a paradox. But that doesnt make him Fake, that Makes him complicated. everyone Goes thru Fazes in Life, they Change, they Progress, sometimes Regress, especially Artists. As far As being a” Fake Gangster”or “thug”, what is a real thug? An a$$hole that Never grows up and evolves? A permanent poision to The Local Community? While its true that Pac was surely niether of Those Things, He was definately a rebel, outspoken and unafraid to go at anyone, Be it Politicians, The Police, peers ect, ect. Thats more than u can say for guys like Snoop who always Claims “Gangster” crip but Is afraid to say or do The Things Pac DID. was Afraid of Suge like a lil 8itch, was afraid of going to jail, too scared to get behind His own lablemate in a beef with Puffy…

    Kreep, no. pac was a corny kid, theater, musicals, etc. And thats fine. But you cant all of a sudden, be a gangster in a year. Once he got a posse pac started actin tough and doin dumb ish in an effort to live up to his fake rep. Its obvious.

    Tupac made a fatal error by speaking against the “powers that be.”
    @Eboy:
    Do you believe the story about Pac & Brazil?
    I’ve heard that same story about two years ago.

    Nah Tarzan, both u & Boing brought up Pac’s past As an Arts Student to demonstrate why He was “Fake” . Boing used The word effeminate, Not a very suttle Shot at His sexuality, what are you Guys getting at? Yes He got His Shot As an emcee with Digital Underground As a Backup dancer, then they let him Jump in on a Few Joints. Point is, it was an Opportunity. He took it, it opened doors for him, & when He got The Chance to Drop His own ish He spoke His own mind. Not that of Art School teachers or The Digital Crew. As far As The whole fake gangsta/thug Thing goes… Go Pick up a strap, Roll with a Crew presto! Ur a thug. He use to refer to himself As “a lil skinny ni&&a weighing 165″ and spoke about The Physical Abuse He Received while locked up. He also Wrote a Song for His momma, Unconditional love, regret,The After Life, Wrote about The plight of Single Black mothers, Race conditons, The allure and trappings of thug Life, (Shorty wanna b a thug) as well As how and Why those in The minority Need to make Social Changes. Again,what exactly is a real Gangster? PLEASE ANSWER ME THIS. Most of The thugs iv’e Ever been around Were cowards,Cared Little for others, sacrificed The Safety of thier own families, and always fronted or were afraid to Be thier own man. ( hence Rolling with a Gang)

    @ kreep: i like how you have DOOM in with all of those legends. he has an original style and great voice/delivery. @ everyone: hip hop is so widespread now that it’s hard to make favorite lists. i don’t know if i could even make a top 10 of favorite MCs. there would be way too many deserving people left of the list. there are amazing verses from great MCs (i.e. RA the rugged man) who are nowhere near my top 10, 20, etc. thankfully, hip hop will never die. not MC-related, but shout to the bomb squad, one of the great things to ever happen to hip hop. that NOISE!!

    Vtrobot: Yeah, DOOM is that ill. And its soo true about how much there is out there to consume. Hip Hop is Not Dead, its The Music Industry that’s been watered down. Decreased Album Sales,have made Singles a Premium, out goes The quality. If anything its The Radio stations & DJs who have $old out hip Hop, only playing all that Miami Produced watered down “Club” sh1t, that The exec’s Be pushing. But yeah, The REAL is still out there…

    Fat lever: I Know Betcats amongst others, would Co sign you on Rakim. His Impact cannot Be Disputed, If Melle Mel is The father of concious lyrics, Ra is basically The father of everything Else. Flow, swagger, hustle, intellect ryming ability, ect. All The Basic Elements of a modern Emcee. But, i would argue that just like Dr J Laid The foundation for MJ, Ra is The foundation for guys like Guru, BIG, J & Nas. So while i agree The convo begins with em’… imo It ends with a Guy like Nas that built on what He did and Went further As an emcee.

    Boing Dynasty: Right, because attending an arts school means he isn’t a good rapper. All rappers should be ig’nant and if they don’t h@te females, they aren’t real. Gotta keep it real! YEAH!

    @ Hurricane: You mention OBFCL and Food and Liquor in the same sentence? WHAT?!?!?!?!
