R.I.P. NOTORIOUS B.I.G.

14 years ago today we lost the potential "Greatest Rapper of All Time". The reason I use the word potential is that we were only graced with two albums of work from him. Two albums that were full & complete with every style of hip hop possible from great stories, to club bangers, to gangster shit, to just straight up just lyrics & wordplay, dude was just nice........Hands Down!!!!!!! If Son was still here, there's no tellin' where the game would be but one thing for sure he was setting the standard for what a good rapper is "supposed" to sound like. Funny thing is, to this day, still not many can touch him, anyway B.I.G. shouts out to The Notorious One, we still miss you homie!!!!!!!!!

Nice & Smooth No Delayin'

XXL Freshman Class 2011 Cover

This is where the "CRITICAL" part of this blog comes in to play............ I don't know who half these dudes are. Crazy thing is I ask my daughter (she's 15) who I figure can help a nigga out & she may be familiar with them, namewise, she can't name too much of their music. That saves me from thinkin' I'm out the loop but at the same time, it doesn't say much for these new "so called" freshman rappers. If the kids ain't all the way up on it, the older heads damn sure ain't, so how the hell you gon pop son??? I do want to acknowledge Diggy Simmons & Cyhi Da Prince, two true MC's I'm lookin out for, word but on that note, I'll holla........ PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!
