Pick through any of B.I.G.’s earlier work and you could fill the entire list. But unmistakably, 1995’s “Who Shot Ya” hits hardest, packing a double fisted beat down of lyric and track (“yeah that beat is knocking need that mic up tho”) that has since to be duplicated. Produced by Hitmen cohort Nashiem Myrick, the haunting piano laden track was the C-4 for B.I.G.’s short fuse delivery. “I can hear sweat trickling down your cheek, your heartbeat sound like Sasquatch feet, thundering, shaking the concrete.” In one line B.I.G. captures the essence of NYC and NY hardcore rap — efficiency, grit and style. If Nas represented the consciousness of the five boroughs throughout the 90’s then B.I.G. was undeniably it’s soul. He knew exactly what people were feeling and how to amplify those emotions with an unparalleled flow and surgical precision. On the 23rd anniversary of his death we unlace our Timbs, let the tongue spill out and spread love the only way he knew how — the Brooklyn way. We miss you B.I.G. Photo by @notthing.」3月10日 3時21分
