So Biggie stole his whole style, name and song from a breh in Mississippi

[ThrobbingHood]

And Michael Jackson didn’t invent the moonwalk. Prince stole ideas too. Don’t get me started on those CACs Led Zepelín.

Talent borrows; genius steals.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

White rapper had the name before him

He never was accussed of stealing Biggie Smallz name.. they had to change it to Notorious BIG once they find out the cac had it copywritten.

 

[FrontoBama]

There’s absolutely nothing to say he stole his “persona” not even sure how you can draw that conclusion when this the only song anybody ever heard.

Using samples is a foundational element of hip hop. Once upon a time everyone was sampling James Brown records.

That is tape name bro
What can I say

 

[hex]

“In 1993 i was signed to a small record label called Dragon Records in Gulfport Mississippi. I had a song that i wrote to Mtume called Juicy Fruit. I wrote the song to the actual record and it was called Big Daddy. Big Daddy was the lead single off the Mississippi Dough Boyz Album that was released in september 1993. It was released on the same day as Snoop Dog’s first album Doggystyle. The dough boyz album was made by two Gulfport rappers Tilidie and myself The Notorious Bigg One. (Notorious B1). Yeah I had the name and song first. I know it might be hard to believe but it is 100% the truth. We was on the radio first and in in the stores first. We sent packages to all the major Labels shopping for distribution. Just image my surprise when people started calling me saying they’ve just seen my video. We was trying to get the truth out back then but after B.i.g’s death i decided to leave it alone out of respect. I’m not fat anymore and a lot has changed but before i leave this bytch I want everybody to know the truth. I was the original Notorious Bigg One.” 2Grams

Like I said, BIG had Unsigned Hype a year before this.

this dude had biggie name trademark …
so, Clive Davis had his people from his label come up with the Notorious B.I.G.

 

[inndaskKy]

Even if he stole "Juicy", which is more Puffs fault. Who gives a shyt.

If he stole shyt like "Sucidal Thoughts", "Warning", "Unbelievable", "Ten Crack" then that's a problem

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Like I said, BIG had Unsigned Hype a year before this.

Fred.

But he didn’t have a hit single. Jucy basically made him.

 

[Hathaway]

Nooo

I'm seeing this story blow up every fukking where. This is crazy

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Sean Combs is a shark

took his whole style, sample, flow and graciously donated it to his own artists who had NONE of it prior

BIG didn’t even wanna do Juicy, but Puff persuaded him just like he made him take that flight to Cali

But he didn’t have a hit single. Jucy basically made him.

I mean, that's cool and all but half of hip-hop back then was using the same samples. That in and of itself isn't some kind of smoking gun.

People were saying the sample and the name were proof BIG bit off this guy, which doesn't make sense. He had the name before him.

Fred.

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

He bit Nas album over too

Suicidal Thoughts - 1994

The song you posted was released in 1997 as a posthumous 2Pac album.

Er what? He got underground hype from
“Party and Bullshyt”. His whole debut album made him. “Big Poppa” was the major crossover hit. As well as the “One More Chance Remix”. Let’s not rewrite history now.
