Whole PROJECTS in NYC ruled the game back then. Think about how many legends came out of Queens Bridge alone!!! The Wu came out and that whole clan is like two projects in SI and a couple of Brooklyn cats! The concentration of just PURE talent was RIDICULOUS!!!!

I look at it like this, when Nas so called “fell off,” it was primarily due to Biggie & Pac getting assassinated. Hip Hop was in SHOCK!!! If Big & Pac was still Alive, Nas would’ve had the Inspiration to be on his A Game. The death of Big & Pac changed a lot of Dynamics.. Nas even said, “It used to be fun, making records to see your response, but, now competition is none, now that you’re gone…” It F_cked Nas & a lot of peoples heads up, because it was giant paradigm shift… Trust me I know, I’m an Artist from Brooklyn NY, who was part of the Hip Hop scene at that time (look up Dead Poets Society “Klocuz,” I’m the last dude). NY was feeling it, what a tragic time for Hip Hop. Thank God for Nas, he’s doing better than ever these days…

And to be honest those were the absolute elite of the elite of MC’s and Nas is not saying he can’t run with them he’s saying basically the styles were all different and their ways of rapping and the beats they needed to be successful Nas just simply saw it differently but this is just my assumption according to this video! Actually Nas had a lot of love and respect for big pun also who was a elite MC as well…… the 90’s era pushed everyone to really put that pen to work!!!! Everyone was putting in lyrical work and pushed eachother to go harder…. But damn Jayz… it’s like he got hold of biggie rhyme book and ran with it!

I honestly feel that the problem wasn't that big "copied" other rappers, the problem was that he did it better or at least more successful, I don't think it's biting tho I do think big absorbed and was like "ey that's cool I put that in my repertoire" since he basically freestyles all his material anyway...but if he would copy and it would be a weak rip off rappers wouldn't even sweat it, they be like "yeah some copycat half ass trying to do what I do, whatever" but that's not what happened...I think the way people looked at BIG might be similar to how people today look at Harry mack...just so far ahead of the game it is frustrating for the rest, and i think big L was the same, so effortless it's just made other rappers angry

​​@@Clevelandsportsfann22Pac & Biggie both were huge Nas fans too. Nas "I gave you power" from It Was Written inspired pac to record Me & My Girlfriend. Pac also wanted Nas on his Deathrow East before he died. NAS was Lyrically, Mentally & Spiritually ahead of them! Nas too seasoned & Longevity 🐐..Nas also put Pac on to Hennessy

As great as the music that came out of New York in the 90s, it sucks to hear how crabby the rappers were not letting one another succeed. This costed them great collaborations while the West were doing the opposite and striving.

Loving this channel. Great video. You’ve done a lot of research and put a lot into making it what it is. So much happened in Hip-Hop in the 90’s that I’m still finding out to this day.

Not gon lie, I've just watch 5 streams back to back on this channel, I didn't know Hip Hop has went this far. it's very informative 💯

You deserve all the props and accolades that you can muster or stand for doing this documentary. I know this shit was grueling but comes off so effortlessly much love.

I gotta thank youtube for making u extend the length of this amazing content .

This was amazingly put together! Great job! Gave great insight I completely missed

«Aint no other kings in this rap thing, they siblings nothin but my children one shot they disappearin» True King of NY Biggie 🐐

I can watch this all day. Thank you for upload. It’s always getting goosebumps listening to some interviews by BIG, or Tupac and others emcees. And studying their lyrics and the wordplay and get to know the story behind it. Back in the day we have some brilliant emcees, with great producers and beat maker. DJ Premier, Havoc of Mobb Deep, The Alchemist, The RZA, J Dilla, Pete Rock and many more. All these people’s are amazing.

Personally from a technical aspect I feel like Jay was better than big. And I also feel like nas was lyrically better than both. But big was more interesting or dynamic personality wise

Because of this video I see why people thought big was the goat..ill except that but not EM even though EM a top 10 mc on my personal list

Big not writing lyrics has been debunked by Lil Cease and Clark Kent. He was writing rhymes, but memorises his lines. He even said it himself, that reading it while recording would confuse him. The time when he started to do away with writing was in the session with Jay-Z on Brooklyn Finest. Also, for Life After Death, Lil Cease mentioned that BIG was writing and structuring LAD while he was admitted in the hospital. If u have been listening to rap for a very long time, you can tell when something was written or not. Eminem don't write verses, but he write lines, and they'd be scattered all over his writing pad. BIG was definitely biting Nas, with album cover and 1 feature on the album.

There was a an album by the Ohio Players (one of their greatest hits albums) that was very similar to Ready To Die. I think that was the actual influence.

Big didn't memorize songs but he did memorize lines.. and he would put those lines together with other lines he remembered and that's how that went.. but a lot of times he would just come up with songs like while he was sitting there talking with you and then go in the booth and spit about what y'all were just talking about.. cuz he was just that ill

Jay z owe Biggie some bread you stole way to many lines dawg damn..

This is a great video and breakdown. I’ve been watching some of these interviews and listening to how these guys described the relationships back then and they act they were best friends but when you break it down with some of the info and breakdown of lyrics you can clearly see some of these guys genuinely did not like each other at the time.

It's crazy because this whole documentary is just showing me how fucking dope biggie smalls was man, like, I know he's a legend and all but I had no idea how DOPE this man was! Crazy,🤦🏽‍♂️smh R.I.P. The Notorious BIG tho

How come there ain’t no mention of biggie Taking the entire swag from a little cat from Mississippi . He was in a group called doughboys. And get this stage name big daddy notorious B1

I have to say this was interesting and entertaining. Being from Brooklyn, I lived through this era and you were detailed with lyrics from the songs. You literally opened my ears to the point where I had to go back and listen to Nas & Big again. I became a fan love your videos 💯👍🏽

I listened to these songs hundreds of times never new these rappers were so intertwined in beef with one another. The crazy thing is they could have been making a lot of money together instead of fighting amongst one another for popularity with all the talent they had that is relevant to this day. 🔥

The beef with Jay Z though is questionable. Camron went hard at Jay for biting Big’s lyrics for years. Even though Jay said “me using a Big’s verse is only B.I.G. Ing up my brother

Amazing video bro!!! The golden era of hip-hop and will never be matched or duplicated. Lyrical giants it was written is my all time favorite but the purple tape is close.

They couldn't fuck with big they had to study him

This was a great video. Rip biggie smalls. The real king of newyork when it comes to this hiphop shit.

Big was too viscous.. He was the Sonny Liston/Mike Tyson of rap..

This is a dope documentary but the lyric breakdown and context makes this video such a good listen.

You the best bro. The info the details are so enlightening!!!! Please keep them coming Awesome material!! 💯

And I thought I knew about Hip Hop u sir have really opened my eyes never knew any of this awesome video instant sub

Great breakdown of all the artists lyrics! Great video! Rip Biggie, 2Pac and Big L

Nas Prodigy Biggie Tupac JayZ Big L Big PUN Methodman Gza Ghostface LOX DMX AZ Sean Price Eminem my list of greats in no order
