JAY-Z Recalls Biggie's Reaction To 'Streets Is Watching': 'Last Song I Played For [Him]'

[re'up]

He says it right there, that was his proper intro the business of making an album.

If BIG wouldn’t have died……

Terrible to have to even think these thoughts. BUT, man Vol. 1 would have been so much harder. BIG even asked him if the album was gonna sound like Streets Is Watching because it was so slick. That album would have been so fukking slick! That vibe along with Who You Wit & Where I’m From. Imagine another track created with BIG for the album. It would have had such a different vibe SMH

 

[Metal Face]

he shoulda played Sunshine for him

I wonder what song Big would've been on

 

[DontEemTry]

Gayle lookin kinda thick

 

[Jerz-2]

That's fire.

But people joining the library is THE MOST fire aspect of this.

 

[DaHNIC82]

In My Lifetime was a cold ass album.... Only thing I didn't like was I know what Girls like and Sunshine.. Rest of that shyt was hard

 

[Awesome Wells]

Vol.1 is a Top 5 album in his catalog.

Definitely mad underrated.

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Vol 1 is a classic with some of his best songs and best rapping. Tired of this bozo talking down on it

 

[get these nets]

Might be his best song. Flow on this song is SICK.

Knew the source of the sampled lines the first time I heard it.

I actually listened to “I know what girls like” for the first time a couple of months ago and hov low key ripped it.

That beat is just too corny to get over tho.

 

[DredScott]

Knew the source of the sampled lines the first time I heard it.

Such a great but tragic film.

And ski & primo murdered Vol. 1. I still wish rhyme no more was made into a full song... It was too ill to be so short. I was so fukking happy when I heard the a million & one remix on a DJ Camilo mixtape in early 98.
