From 1993

biggie is the greatest rapper of all time

a fight or flight response

Puff did

1992 source magazine

This song supposedly came out in 1993, and this is a popular sample anyone could’ve used it

Biggie is one of the greatest rappers ever.

First time going down the YouTube rabbit hole I see

all of that on top of being fat

Now go say Biggie Smalls 3x in the mirror and when he is summoned say that same s***

"His rhymes are fatter than he is."

Corblimey!

Classic case of who did it better

@op lateee

style wise literally not the same at all but sure.

also rapping over a well known sample is not that crazy at all so really all u really got to compare them is that there fat and similar names and even then who f***ing cares.

and there u have it.

Tbh I think. It happens all the times when the lines between admiration/inspiration and biting get blurry

Even well known rappers "use" each other's flows or styles

I don't think it's ever true malice but i understand as a creative myself, I also get heated when I a fool jacking my s***

As hell we made threads about this like 2 years ago lmao

People spoke about this before and it's so silly. The styles are not similar.

There could be some inspiration, who knows though cos Biggie was called Notorious for a while

Better than Pac

big couldnt use his og rap name biggie smalls so diddy mustve somehow heard this song and ripped the notorious name and that juicy sample. as far as style biggie was influenced by king tee.

I'm pretty sure the dude in Op stole Biggies style if anything. Ready To Die was is the making before 1993. As far as the Juicy sample though, I mean, Juicy is one of the GOAT rap songs vs guy in op.
