[Notorious B.I.G.]
I make yo' mouthpiece obese like Della Reese
When I release, you loose teeth like Lil' Cease
N*gga please, blood floods yo' Dungarees
And that's just the half on my warpath
Laugh now cry later, I rhyme greater
than the average playa hater, and spectators
buy my CD twice; they see me in the streets
They be like, "Yo he nice, but that's on the low doe"
Be the cats with no dough, tried to play me at my show
I pull out fo'-fo's, and go up in they clothes
Short-change n*ggaz, snort-caine n*ggaz
Extortion came quicker, bought the Range n*gga
Ya still tickle me, I used to be as strong as Ripple be
til Lil' Cease crippled me
Now I play hard, like my girls nipples be
The game sour like like a pickle be, y'all know da rules
Move from BK to New Jeruz -- thinkin bout
all the planes we flew, b*tches, we ran through
Now the year's new, I lay my game flat
I want my spot back, take two
Motherfuckers mad cause I blew, niggaz envious
Too many niggaz on my dick,shit strenuous
When my men bust,you just move wit such stamina
Slugs missed ya,I ain't mad at cha (we ain't mad at cha)
Blood rushin, concussions, ain't nothin
Catch cases, come out frontin, smokin somethin
Sippin White Russians, bitch in the Benz bumpin
I laced it wit the basic, six TV's a system
Knockin Mase shit, face it, we hard to hit
Guard ya shit, 'fore I stick you, for your re-up
Wipe the pee up, mixed shots, woke your seed up
Go in the ashtray, spark the weed up, LONG KISS

[Notorious B.I.G.]
Uhh.. I'm flamin gats, aimin at, these fuckin
maniacs, put my name in raps, what part the
game is that? Like they hustle backwards
I smoke Blackwoods and Dutchies, ya can't touch me
Try to rush me, slugs go, touchy-touchy
You're bleedin lovely, wit'chyo, spirit above me
or beneath me, your whole life you live sneaky
Now you rest eternally, sleepy, you burn when you creep me
Rest where the worms and the weak be
My nine flies, baptize, rap guys
With the Holy Ghost, I put holes in most
You hold your toast shaky, slippin tryin to break me
Look what you made me do, brains blew
My team in the marine-blue, six Coupe
Skied it out, weeded out, cleanin out -- the block
for distances, givin long kisses BITCH

[Notorious B.I.G.]
Frank White the menacin, Chron Chron's the medicine
I got the lettuce and, you turn green like cucumber skin
Got the new, Hummer in the summer when I was a new comer
then, drugs and mac-10's
Hugs from fake friends, make ends they hate you
Be broke -- girls won't date you
That's why I relate to, choke yo' ass out til your face blue
Make you, open the safe too
No matter how you call it (how you call it)
this brolic, alcoholic .. {*Biggie's chorus fades in*}
like his weed green'd out, like his brick solid
Distribute to, kids who, take heart like Valentine
Drink Ballentine, all the time
Slugs hit your chest tap you spine, flatline
Heard through the grapevine, you got f*cked fo' times
Damn that three to nine, f*cked you up for real doe
Sling steal slow, as for remorse, we feel no

What do you think? I actually prefer this to Hit Em Up

I love like how he subliminally disses but I'm sorry to say, I hate artists who diss the dead one and I hate artists who put in their booklets dedicated to him and then diss him in songs though I love Biggie as an artist.

Before anyone says Yes I KNOW I'm bumping an over two year thread. Its just that I would like to see opinions and comments people have about this diss. It is definately underrated...people always talk about Hit Em Up only and make it seem Biggie never responded.

Yes it was a very Jay esque with all the subliminal lines in it......but it is still nontheless a good diss record. In 2003 Lil Cease said in an interview that the original Biggie made was more agressive(he made it before Pac died). I wish there was a chance to hear the original

I know it would be unsensative to leak it, but I just hate it when your banned from hearing a certain song a musician made just because of what the reaction might be.(feel the same way about Em and the mysterious "King Mathers")

Anyway what are you guys thoughts? Once again yes I know I'm bumping an old thread but it can at least be a good conversation.

Well its obvious the diss was made before the death. We don't know what Pac thought about Biggie, but we do know that even with the disses Biggie was cool with Pac, so it makes sense to put that in the booklet.

[RainMan44]

My favorite Biggie song of all time.

[EpicForever]

And I believe Biggie meant it when he said(according to Lil Cease and everyone that knew him) that he could have easily destroyed Pac on wax if he wanted to.

I wonder if Jay is one of the few people who heard the original recording....
