![]() ![]() Your plan is literally insane and certain to fail. Hurray!Īlthough, to be fair, Richie Rich did lose most of his fortune when the housing market crashed.īut hold up a second, big guy. The Plantiff, fearing for his daughters life, makes the sensible decision to drop the charges and allow Biggie Smalls to remain richer than Richie. Well, Biggie goes on to explain that you needn’t be worried because at his arraignment, he or one of his crew hand a note to the plantiff that explains that his or her daughter is tied up in a Brooklyn basement. How are you going to get out of this one Biggie? Especially since you don’t even deny having done whatever crime it was that they charged you with. Now, obviously putting hoes in DKNY and Versace isn’t a crime, nor is rapping about blunts and broads, tits and bras, menage a trois, OR EVEN sex in expensive cars but whatever it was, Biggie ends on the revelations that he has clearly been arrested for something. Richer than Richie, till you niggas come and get me Your daughter’s tied up in a Brooklyn basement (shh)įace it, not guilty, that’s how I stay filthy (not guilty) Tits and bras, ménage à trois, sex in expensive carsĪt my arraignment, note for the plaintiff That’s how most of these so-called gangsters passĪt last, a nigga rappin bout blunts and broads ![]() Gonna blast squeeze first ask questions last Them niggas ride dicks, Frank White push the sticksīulletproof glass tints if I want some ass Now who’s the real dookie, meaning who’s really the shit prefer Versace (that’s right)Īll Philly hoes, dough and Moschino (c’mon)Įvery cutie wit a booty bought a Coogi (haaaaah!) Pretty intense, huh? But in case you were too caught up in the rhymes or distracted by Puff Daddy doing everything he could to get attention, here’s the lyrics: Now, there are many segments of this song that I could choose from: He throws a lot of references out at us – only half of them I understand – and I could spend an entire day over-analyzing the criminal way Puff Daddy (as he was probably referred to at that point, although maybe it was “Puffy”) tries to steal the lime light in literally every single scene he’s in during the music video, but the verse I want to focus on comes about half way through the song. This week, we’ve got “Hypnotize” by No! No! Notorious! B.I.G.! You can listen to "Ramblize" here and check out both Biggie's mid-90's UK TV spot and Bun B's Juan Epstein interview below.I’m starting a new weekly segment called “Over-analyzing Rap Lyrics” where I over-analyze rap lyrics, picking one song by one rapper to over-analyze. It features excerpts from talks with Lil Kim, Faith Evans, Junior M.A.F.I.A. and even features a cameo from a young Diddy. Then to round out our Biggie hat-trick for the night, Bun B delivered an interview with Juan Epstein in which he talks about meeting a 20-year-old Big and how he struggled to shake some of the old habits of street-life (like say, only sitting in the back of the car and making sure the door was open in case someone tried to snatch him) even in what was supposed to be a casual smoke session. In other Biggie news, an exclusive interview with the BK emcee conducted by the UK program Passengers. The interview (which is filmed entirely in BK) features Big reminiscing over his old Brooklyn block and explaining the struggles of his adolescent self, the turmoil of growing up pushing in Bed-Stuy, the transition from a hustler's life to that of a major recording artist and even how he first came to love the herbal. Biggie- Blue Eyes Meets Bed-Stuy or even the playful Miley Cyrus v. It's a novel and nobel effort from the British guitar hero, but ultimately falls short of other mash-up treatments he's received in the past (i.e Sinatra v. has gotten the Led Zeppelin treatment with Jimmy Page's remix of Biggie's smash "Hypnotize." The aptly named "Ramblize" features a mash-up of Big's verses from the track over some chops of Led Zeppelin's "Ramble On," putting the brooding BK rapper over LZ's acoustic rock riffs, with some boom-bap embellishment in the clap-happy drum track. ![]()
