Notorious B.I.G. On NPR 50 Great Voices

On Monday, NPR highlighted the late Notorious B.I.G. as part of their 50 Great Voice series. They zeroed in on his flow and lasting influence on the game. To hear AZ tell it, Biggie’s song “Warning,” showcased his true lyrical ability.

“I don’t care where, what part of the Earth you’re from, when you listen to it, the dialogue is slow enough for you to digest it,” he says. “When you actually tell a story and be descriptive, that takes talent.”

    Love B.I.G. music and he’ll always be one of the greats in this game, I could never stand Diddy bein all over his songs tho he would just fuck it all up.

    @Hollaatchaboy

    I agree with you completely with you on that one. “Niggas Bleed” is one of the best examples of storytelling in rap that I’ve ever heard. That and Jay-Z’s “Meet the Parents” are two of my all time favorites.

    Rest in peace. Who ever you think is the greatest is your opinion. I think Jay is the best to ever do it personally. Biggie we miss you and your legacy will live on forever
