[ame=[MEDIA=youtube]HFc0iVlCEPY[/MEDIA] Notorious B.I.G./Shaq - Can't Stop The Reign [w/ Lyrics] - YouTube[/ame]

It's knee-deep with killers, about million-dollar figures,
blessin' ------ that act legends, and vigers,
cream lizards, cream coochies, I do my duty
as long as they fly as me, and high as me,
success of my circle, try to break it, I'll hurt you,
ain't no gettin out that, I doubt that,
we want the exotic, erotic ladies,
not them toxic ladies, that burn I lot,
I learned alot, from chunkies to ruffians,
from being tied up by Columbians, cause 80 grams was missin,
listen, had to change my position,
from wanting to be large to head ------ in charge,
my garage, call it Selo, 4-5's and 6's, honeys by the mixes,
if it ain't broke don't fix it,
smoke out with Leo, Biggie Tarantino,
Size like a sumo, franc wad numero uno

:lawd:


great line...but full of exaggeration...:ehh:

Is there a dirty version of this anywhere? Never heard it unedited. Big's verses are timeless. This still sounds fresh over 20 years later. :wow:

:scust: @ all the Kendrick talk being allowed in here.

It's not on the single, which does have the Shaq solo version from the video on it along with the album version with Biggie. Shaq kept it clean for his sponsors (although I think he was cussing on his joint with Short Khop on Khop's album).

I'm still mad Shaq never released his Super Friends album, he had some nice features lined up and we might have got some gems.

Shaq Had Biggie Re-Record his "Still Can't Stop the Reign" Verse Because It Was Too Dirty
“Biggie, Biggie, Biggie, can’t you see” that this verse is for the children?

During simpler times, you know, when Shaq was dropping rap albums, the Hall of Fame basketball star linked up with The Notorious B.I.G. for “Still Can’t Stop the Reign,” a track off his 1996 album, You Can't Stop the Reign.

Speaking with Ebro on Beats 1 on Apple Music earlier today, Shaq revealed that Biggie actually had to re-record his feature verse on their collaboration as the first version was too explicit.


“I get in contact with Puff and Big, and I said, ‘Hey, sorry to bother you, I’m doing my rap album,’ and they said, ‘Yeah, we saw you on The Arsenio Hall Show, and we heard some of your stuff,’” Shaq recalled. “I get the track, and I lay it—I don’t like it. I re-lay it and keep doing it because I don't want to do it in front of [Biggie], in case it’s wack… I called him down, and I played it for him. He was rocking with it, and he was like, ‘Okay, big fella, that’s tight.’

“He went in there, and when I tell you he killed it in one take, I ain’t never seen nothing like that. But—the first take—and I’m the only one with a copy, and it'll never get released because I never do it to him… he went in. He was like, ‘Oh yeah, that’s right, my bad. It’s for the kids, for the kids.' And then he went in and did that verse.”


It’s hard to determine what the funnier piece of hip-hop history is here: Shaq being too nervous to record in front of Big or Big having to lay a fresh verse because his original verse was too dirty? Perhaps the biggest gag of all is where once Shaq was worried about “the kids” hearing an influx of curses on a verse, we now have labels signing 12-year-olds off viral videos, for better or worse.

Maybe rap’s young and raucous new wave will inspire Shaq to give us a peek behind the door of Biggie's vaulted verse.
