In the telling of his story Busta always says that BIG was using a walking cane and his leg was all f***ed up. That he couldn't get up to the second floor of the studio without an elevator because of it.

That was after his car accident with Lil Cease. That was a few months after Pac died. I initially thought it was before Pac died because of how Busta always told the story. But saw a documentary a few weeks ago that put it together. Unless Busta is lying or just doesnt remember correctly--but BIG with the leg f***ed up post car crash was post Pac death.

Makes sense when you really listen to his verse--"and the winner is, not the thinner kid". BIG is claiming victory after the man died

Its a BIG and Pac Sunday on KTT

OG Hit Em Up ft Outlawz

While the final version's intensity, beat and intro are too iconic. I love some of the lyrics on this version. "Cross eyed Down syndrome crack baby"

Lil Kim--Big Momma Thang

Aye Kim did her thing on this BIG didn't let her releases this but gd he should've! lol end of that last verse is insane Faith Evans also put in a body bag lol

Busta Rhymes ft Biggie and J Dilla--The Ugliest/Dangerous MC's

Honestly this is one of my favorite verses in rap history. Recorded in 96 AFTER Pac had died. Biggie went on several victory laps, but none as direct and clear as this one. Busta said he didn't write a single word down, went into the booth and laid down the verse in one take. Did the adlibs second take and left. Coldest mf ever man Busta told Big there was no way he was ever going to release this. Came out posthumously but with all Pac references rapped over/edited out.

2pac-Watch Ya Mouth

Bonus song more towards Dre and other east coast cats. But also awesome

His process was wild too lol

He'd record vocals + the ad libs and would not hear the final version. He'd just go "next" and they'd start working on the next track. Supposedly when he got to the studio the next day he'd listen to the tracks they worked on the previous day as finished mixed and mastered records.

And for features he'd have everyone in the room write a verse and he'd pick the best one

I wish they would've kept "When Thugz Cry" on the official version of the album. That song is so damn good.

So basically, Biggie recorded two diss tracks (The Ugliest & Long Kiss Goodnight) aimed at Pac AFTER he died, but was too scared to have that same energy to diss Pac when he was alive and calling Biggie's name out every other day lol

Don't get me wrong, Biggie was a dope rapper, but a part of me can't respect you when you want to take the easy way out by waiting for someone to die first, now you want to play tough guy by making diss tracks aimed at a dead man who can't respond back to you. Straight sucker s***.
