Every Biggie Line Has Some Type Of Logic To It

"I grant you three wishes
Cause I be the genie
Nikkas is ass out like fat bytches in bikini's"

 

[REAL6]

Of course they have some logic to them:

"nikkas...Grab ya dikk if you love hip hop..."

"Don't you know my nikka gutta fukkin kidnap kids, fukk em in the ass , throw em' over the bridge."

"You think I'm p*ssy, I dare u to stick ur dikk in this!"



And the best for last:

"You look so good, umm, I'd suck on your daddy's dikk."







GAY fukkING LOGIC!!!

Don't feed these cornball trolls that are insecure about their region & favorite rapper. Just ignore them & don't let them derail from a great topic & discussion.

I'm on holiday without a laptop but this is a great thread.

Would love to add more detail.


I've always said there's 2 things in particular that made Biggie a genius orat least 2 particularly individual traits. Both pure literary and poetic devices. The first is his use of assonance, alliteration, internal rhyme schemes in a fluid fashion. But the other is the vivid imagery - the small details of his storytelling. Just the description of Arizona Ron from Tucson. Starts off depicting how he likes the slow jams - you don't expect such a killer. As his description goes on you can see something is wrong pathologically with this man.

The 'nothing to lose, tattooed around his gun wounds, everything to gain embedded to his brain'. Is just ill on a rhyme level the repeated T sounds in the first half, repeated E in the second. 5 rhymes in 2 bars but it sounds slick as hell. But for a good rapper that's not that special. Jadakiss can do that all day. But what put BIG over the top was the imagery of intent from that line. The way it's ordered and worded with embed it likens his mindset of 'everything to gain' to the deep permanance of the tattoo first bar. Working to reinforce in 1 slick line Arizona Ron does not give a single fukk. He's been shot, presumably almost died and has no regard to it.


Even in the opening verse the way he skips back and forth in the conversation. Without being heavy handed he has a back and forth conversation without saying 'I said' 'he said'. Introduces a boss, the plot and the context. You got Frank's character. Every line is just drenched in detail and relevance. Not a bar wasted. Biggie and them pictures man. There's nobody close to him in that sense. It's that creativity, the choice of words and how seamlessly he put them together puts him in a league of his own in many facets as a lyricist.

If I had the time I'd break down some of the less obvious genius of his writing.

I agree but Nas is on the same level wit the imagery, can tell a story in one 16 bar verse with a start, middle, and end (check verse 2 of When Thugs Die)....like we really need to do a story telling thread of Nas vs BIG...raps Rod Serling vs Alfred Hitchcock.

Actually, i'm not trolling, i'm just saying. Big's always been sub-par to me.

 

[Ripp]

you look so good huh

Fucc em the azz and throw them over the bridge

I'm not the biggest Biggie fan (double aunt Andre don't ask me how) but I knew both of these would be posted on the first page as soon as I read the thread title

"A lime to a lemon, my D.C. women,
bringin in they 10G's minumum (the original he said crack & heroin) to condos with elevators in them,
vehicles with television's in them,
watch they entourage turn your's to just mirages,
disappearin acts, strictly nines and macs,
killers be serial, Copperfield material"

You guys are 100% right, there was always logical reasoning with Biggie's lyrics but it was also the references. There are bars 20 years later still going over heads. This is exactly why he's one of if not the most bitten Emcee because the bars are timeless. It seems to me Big watched a lot of films and read a lot of books. He had so many film and historical references that it's clear he was very wise beyond his years. But I always loved this line on the Shaq song, That line was so dope. The core of the line is "Copperfield Material". This is a double entendre. First he's talking about David Copperfield, the Legendary illusionist and magician. In the previous line he brings up "Disappearing Acts", this ties into Copperfield who performs "Disappearing or Illusion Acts" in his magic shows.

The term "Mirage" also ties into David Copperfield because a "Mirage" is an "Illusion". When he says, "Killer's be Serial" is also a double entendre obviously he's talking about how his people are as ruthless as "Serial Killers" but it ties back to Copperfield because Biggie is saying his men will make you disappear like Magic or an illusion. Also "Serial = Cereal" as it the Cereal box because missing people were put on Milk Carton's and cereal boxes back in the day in the 70's, 80s). (Biggie used the "Milk Box" reference on "Running from the Police", "Two Cops is on the Milk Box Missing") Big got so much out of less, his genius is in how much he could convey with so little words, it was amazing.

Remember on Get Money:

"Fuk around & made her milk box material".

Somebody Gotta Die Is A Story Telling MASTERPIECE No One Can Tell Me Otherwise

Really enjoy this mix in particular. Your comment sent me back to it.

Ron passed the Gasoline that nikka passed me Kerosene

"I got techniques drippin' out the butt cheeks"

Could've found another way to say he's nasty on the mic.

"You look so good I'll suck your daddy's dikk (I know it's a Pryor but damn sus as hell)"

He had some questionable lines no one ever seems to recall. I love his more sensible lines however.

None worse then his dude gutta who kidnaps children sodimizes them and throws them over a bridge

 

[Trot LaRoc]

The point of that line was to be over the top.

Big was trying to illustrate that his crew is filled with str8 savages who are ruthless

The line is supposed to be extreme and make you feel

 

[Pimp]

Care to explain this logic?

"You look so good, umm, I'd suck on your daddy's d**k."



Or "Don't you know my nikka gutta fu*kin kidnap kids, fk em in the ass , throw em' over the bridge.

fukking retard... The first one was obviously a joke.. originally from Richard Pryor.

The second one is the most brutal thing you can do. You would rather be shot or tortured than fukked in ass... Genius lines if you think about it.
