let's marinate on the greatness of "you're nobody (till somebody kills you)"

[Tuling]

This is top 5 off Life after Death and one of the realest songs ever..
The flow is amazing and the 3rd verse is so true.
I spit phrases that'll thrill you, you're nobody til' somebody kills you

 

[NYC Rebel]

I told her meet in the future later...
they'll take me me shoppin bought lavender and fuchsia gators
introduced to me playa hatas and heavy weighters...
rich bytch shyt...drinkin Cristal till we piss the shyt....UHHHH
through bytches...adapt to any borough bytches...be in spots where there were no bytches...ya feel me...

 

[Breh Obama]

Actually the last verse of the song fits perfectly in the theme. He was telling the story of Dark Skin Jermaine and how nobody remembers him until he died. Also why turn it into a Biggie Vs Pac. There was things Pac did that Biggie couldn't and there was things Big did that Pac could not do, like Pac could never tell a story as descriptive as "nikkas Bleed" or play multiple characters like "Warning or Gimmie the Loot" or switch his style and flow like Big did on "Notorious Thugs". But the song was Epic and the perfect way to end the album. Faith and Him singing on the hook together was magic. The beat was perfect, the flow and Puffy saying the scripture at the beginning. The Original Version was dope too, it had the original sample which was strings but they replayed the sampled cause it didn't get cleared:


Biggie Smalls - ORIGINAL - Your Nobody - BIG sings - YouTube


Your nobody till somebody kills U (Original)

(Jay Z sampled lyrics on this song on "Say Hello" and "Death of Autotune")
