In Memory of Biggie

These are my two favorite Biggie songs of all time. One a classic hip-hop party anthem and the other a rougher hip-hop story produced by Easy Mo Bee. Strangely enoughy I love "Machine Gun Funk" even more than "Big Poppa." There's something about that beat that's just so 90's hip-hop perfection and I love how it sort of oozes sadness and despair. It's as if the beat was telling the story alongside Biggie and created this dark vision of his hardened world while still keeping that "knock" that keeps your head bobbing. It's a musical vision created by one of hip-hop's best storytellers and I love it for it's honesty. RIP B.I.G.
