  • Demo from San Anton Tx, Txstait up this is one of the realist nigga from brooklyn no doubt bout that..
    dont care no one says..
    still to this day he will the greatest..

  • Tom from St Catharines, CanadaThis song was NOT produced by P. Diddy. It was produced by Derec Angelettie.
  • Nathan from From The Country Of, CanadaWallace made his songs around sampling, yet he changed so much about the song he could make it his own. Yet he never tarnished the original song, as i've listened to the many songs from which he sampled he almost makes it as good as the original.
  • Nick from Nyc, Nybiggie - greatest rapper ever... but i prefer listening to alperts "rise" to hypnotize... and isley bros. "between the sheets" as opposed to "big poppa".. u can't beat the originals! one
  • Flo from Toulouse, FranceMy girlfriend and me we love this song !!! Check Lady Saw's "No Long Talking" remix using this riddim.
  • Jason from Boulder, Co"La Di Da Di" was not, obviously, "sampled" for the chorus. The original recording was not used.
  • Paul from London, EnglandArguably Biggy's best, and a testimony to his inventiveness and ability to make any sample work for him. The chorus is a direct steal from Slick Rick but it sounds like his own work.
  • Breige from Co.clare, Irelandit's in 10 Things I Hate ABout You at the house party when Kat starts to dance on the table
  • Matt from Millbrae, CaThis is one of the best rap songs. I always said that rap died when Biggie died. That doesn't mean he was the only good rapper, but by that time, he was gone, Tupac was gone, Dre had already released The Chronic, and rap was beginning to descend into what it is today...absolute garbage. If you compare this song to, say, Candy Shop by 50 Cent, it is really no comparison.
