Did Biggie Ever Rap Over a 100% Original Beat?

[Baka's Weird Case]

thats how beats were in the 90s. im listening to illmatic right now and all the songs on it have samples too

 

[BEN23]

yall really think nikkas was just taking loops....some of that stuff was replayed and that is not a easy task...yall talking out yall ass..

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

why yall getting aggy? bad boy and so so def went real low hanging fruit in taking 80's songs and basically just laying new vocals and a few drums on them...doesn't take away from their success or the hits they blessed us with, but it is what it is

This a rap discussion forum and this is a thread discussing beats and production. A vital part of hip hop and some of you in here asking why?

fukk is seriously wrong with yall?

Why heads took offense to his question?

 

[god shamgod]

I actually went on who sampled it, a lot of big tracks surprisingly were sampled

Like things done changed,my downfall,machine gun funk.gimmie than loot one of the only ones with no sample

I’m confused af.

it’s not like op said Biggie wouldn’t be shyt without a sample lol

now that would be a issue lol

 

[Greenhornet]

I'm a pac fan and even I'll admit this was a dumb take

you should have worded it like

"why are biggies biggest hits just replays of songs that are already platinum"
thats the actual argument people have been saying for years


thats not even hate either because like other people have said... that's hiphop and biggie kilt those shyts too
it was always just weird seeing badboy rap over David Bowie - Lets Dance and then jack another hook from a platnium song over the top of that platnium song

and then stunt like they were killing the game.... like of course people are gonna like 2 songs they've already bought a million times a piece that have grammy nods

alot of other artists have done it before obviously ... but bad boy was just taking monster hits and rapping over them shyts

It’s not about the beats, it’s because OP is wondering what songs were “original” and inferring that samples are somehow not good enough or easier or “less than” full original composition.

 

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

I just thought it was interesting considering he has such a short catalogue compared to other greats and Bad Boy was known for sampling heavy

.....it's really not

Call niccas b'tchmade and then get emotional because you don't understand the underlying premise of the thread brehs

 

[BrothaZay]

nikkas bleed

 

[THE 101]

Post on a hip hop forum but hate hip hop, brehs

 

[JustCKing]

He died a year before Swizz Beatz & The Neptunes changed the sound of hip hop so I doubt it

You could add Timbaland to that list, but Biggie missed Timbaland by some months.
