All of bigs songs were hits especially in l.a surprisingly at the time. There wasn't a time when bad boy hits wasn't being played

I remember being in L.A. at my auntie's house (Slauson/Cimmaron) the week of LAD dropping and three out of every four cars that drove by was bumpin' a song off it. Hell, my auntie was jammin' it in the house.

Mase killed it
and wrote Puff's verse.
BIG's was IGHT.

It was originally Mase's song, but Big took it. (Like what Jay and Ye did to Big Sean with the Clique)

nikkas did lose they mind when this first came out shyt was banging in cars and nikkaz had it blasting carrying that all black sony radio.

Heard it first on a DJ Clue tape, I think it was "Show Me The Money" had hypnotize and other bangers on there.

I loved that song in 7th grade, Bad Boy was at it's absolute peak...'Only You' (Remix), 'Been Around The World', 'Victory', 'Hypnotize'....I had that 'Mo Money Mo Problems' cd single, I couldn't even afford the lp, it was like $25 .Sam Goody/Wherehouse used to tax us

I listened to it the other day, for all the reasons why it should be dated and unlistenable, it isn't...almost timeless music, but very reflective of an era...

this and cali love, are the 2 greatest hiphop club songs ever created. it had the club vibe, but still kept the respectfulness of real spitting w/ it.

Y'all tripping,
I was bumping this song weeks ago,
It's def a good song that can get played at a BBQ or party and stand the test of time. That's what's great about music. Hip-hop since 2005 don't have that magic to do that, just enjoy Mo' Money and diddy bop to it.
