Comment: Man, before Hip-Hop became a household name, back in the late 70s and 80s, it was no-thing to "mash-up ", blend, songs together with another and put it out--that's a cornerstone of the culture. It was all good and it was more like an ode to the original artist than a jack move. As the possibility for real paper stepped-in -artists actually getting rich for units sold, lyrics and production is a farely new phenomenon - the old ways faded and breaking-off the artist for the use of their material was the come-up (for them), the necessary (read: safe) thing to do by the one using it. [Remember when Ice Cube dropped 'Jackin for beats'?...around that time the paradigm shifted.] Bottom line, to me, this sh*t IS hot--it's ride-out music for me, don't do clubs right now. Just goes to show the immortality of Biggie (RIP) and how his voice, technique and 'Unbelievable' flow changed the game. Guru (of Gang Starr) wasn't playin' when he told us "it's mostly the voice that gets you up...". Headed to www.gnotorious.com right now!

Comment: P.S. For those who are not well-versed in Hip-Hop and those are simply love-hatas, don't rush to judgement on the lyrics of this song. These lyrics are transplanted from Biggie's first album, 'Ready to Die'. And you have to listen to that, first, to gain the proper perspective. The b*tches, hoes, f*kcs and muthaf*kcas actually fit perfectly together in the original story of a guy being ready to leave a world of parties and bullsh*t. Just an fyi.
