Competition has always played a big role in hip hop. Battle rhymes, diss songs, trying to outshine someone on his own song, it’s all in the spirit of competition.
But in the mid-90s, the competition in New York was especially heavy. Let’s think about the rappers were coming up at that time - you had Nas and Big both releasing landmark debuts in ’94, Mobb Deep damn bringing all of Queensbridge wherever they went, Raekwon with The Purple Tape and the rest of Wu-Tang by his side. Most of the rappers on our greatest of all time list came on the ’90s East Coast.
The Only Built 4 Cuban Linx album contained a skit called "Biters" in which Raekwon and Ghostface discuss how much they hate rappers that copy styles, slang & lyrics.
The Notorious B.I.G.’s album cover for “Ready to Die” was interpreted as biting Nas' “Illmatic,” cover, and the Chef and Ghostface clown Biggie without dropping his name - the point was made, and Big later kicked in the door.
Of interesting note is that Method Man was featured on Big’s The What and his own crew is spitting fire off the same album.
It seemed as though a new rapper was making their claim for the throne every other day. So when it came time for Nas to drop his highly anticipated sophomore record, on the song "The Message" he made sure to let everyone know who was the rightful king of New York.
It has been widely perceived as singling out B.I.G., who had been declared “king of New York” in an infamous 1995 profile in The Source.
Nas, whose Illmatic pioneered the NYC street rap that Biggie perfected for pop radio with hits like “Juicy”, tries to reassert his royal status on his more commercial sophomore album.
Nas has confirmed that the song actually disses The Notorious B.I.G. with the lines, “There’s one life, one love, so there can only be one King.” This lyric challenged Notorious B.I.G.’s title of King of New York at that the time of its release. He responded on the track “Kick in the Door” from his 1997 album Life After D3ath.
From Biggie’s second and final official album, Life After D3ath, “Kick in the Door” is a diss track aimed at everybody, nobody, haters, other rappers (including Nas, Jeru the Damaja, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah), and most importantly, YOU. He dissed more than a dozen rappers on the entire album & showed Nas & the Wu-Tang clan that he's the superior rapper & the rightful King Of New York.

hi
Always love when you bring the history out man
Respecto
You did a great job 👍
Thank you so much HHU. I love your content, and you teach me more and more about the music culture I love so much!
We appreciate your hard work
90s hip hop was an incredible time. Truly unforgettable and historic.
It was hands down the greatest era in Hip-Hop.
Fr can’t beat tha classics this new era depressing 🤣
east coast rap ran the 90s
Not as big as Kendrick v drake v future v metro booming v kanye is going to be
@@MrEAW56 damn u think
Nas not getting on Biggie's Gimme the Loot is easily the Biggest Collaboration Missed Opportunity in Hip-Hop History
Yes and 2pac and Nas collab. Those 2 would have been crazy collabs. RIP 🙏🙏
Big killed that sh, but I still wonder how Nas would have approached that
@@d4w639 Nas would have to drop a Verse Similar to Back to the Grill for the the 1st Gimmer the Loot
Yes Nas regretted it. It would’ve been fire 🔥 from both of them…
@@GokuBlackkkkkk BUT ay ay 2pac still live under a new name that are akil THE mc no Lie from my side bro !!
It's absolutely insane how much talent existed in that climate during that time.
Exactly it was completely different ball game at that time and the competition was definitely needed to make the hip hop game better and more fun
New talent at that
Plus They Was All Under 25 Years Old With Such Great Abilities Our Own Brothers (And Sisters) Were Our Heroes Telling Our Stories N Some Of Our Fantasies While Creating Generational Wealth 4 So Many Families,And People 2 Past Down From Generation 2 Generation!1❤
Too much. Loved it
Whole PROJECTS in NYC ruled the game back then. Think about how many legends came out of Queens Bridge alone!!! The Wu came out and that whole clan is like two projects in SI and a couple of Brooklyn cats! The concentration of just PURE talent was RIDICULOUS!!!!
Ghost face: “I don’t want nobody to sound like me, cuz I’ll approach him”
Action Bronson: 👀
In an interview Ghost said some' like this "I said this back in 95, do you really think I got the same mentality now?" People grow up, you know.
@@ronpl8473 look up ghostface response to action Bronson
@@bygone7197 Ghostface didn't dissed him because Bronson sounded like him, he dissed him because of something he said on an interview about him. In fact, before their little beef, they had a song together. Look it up.
@@ronpl8473 yeah i wasn’t saying that was why he just also references that specific line from OB4CL In that video
@@ronpl8473 just thought it was hilarious as a video that’s all had to share 🤣
Can we just appreciate Nas for always keeping it real and R.I.P. BIG🕊
Nas and Jay Z didn't really like Biggie
@@babyj2602 Nas loves biggie
@@babyj2602 How do you know Nas and Jay-Z didn't like Big
@@babyj2602 It wasn't about not liking that person, it was about battling for the crown for NY.
He doesn't though lol
This is such a great analysis of all rappers, but it also shows how competition, egos and money is part of a man's DNA
Crabs in a barrel...not their fault hiphop came from poverty and suppressed voices, part of the culture, wish it stayed with heated rivalries and no murders
@@Parialated Murder is to mankind is like swimming to a fish
Redrum redrum
Nah the elites of the world made it that way
@@tahjimahaji2453Competition and Egos have existed long before the "elites" were even set in place. It's part of human nature.
Jay Z made a successful career of abducting Biggie's lines.
Facts
I have somehow always found Jay-Z somehow inauthentic despite his obvious talent
@@juddmurigi6106 which is the strangest thing as Jay-Z gets away with everything
This has always been the dumbest critique to me. It’s not like he uses these lines to pass them off as his own it’s paying homage
Jay did more with Big's spot than Big would've done with it
This was a real in-depth beef analysis. I’m from this area of rap and thought I knew a lot but you taught me a lot bro. Even the way you broke down everyone’s lyrics, I have a proper understanding now cause some bars to this day flew over my head as in I didn’t know who certain bars was directed to. Appreciate u, well done!!
So the guys who stole from the CHINESE , feels some type of way when someone steals from them ? 😂
Word….. he broke this shit down…
and he's not even american 😓
I'm look'n at Life after death completely different now. I took it as a Pac diss album after he's gone (some were), but damn Big was buss'n in every direction
I learned so damn much lol
I look at it like this, when Nas so called “fell off,” it was primarily due to Biggie & Pac getting assassinated. Hip Hop was in SHOCK!!! If Big & Pac was still Alive, Nas would’ve had the Inspiration to be on his A Game. The death of Big & Pac changed a lot of Dynamics.. Nas even said, “It used to be fun, making records to see your response, but, now competition is none, now that you’re gone…” It F_cked Nas & a lot of peoples heads up, because it was giant paradigm shift… Trust me I know, I’m an Artist from Brooklyn NY, who was part of the Hip Hop scene at that time (look up Dead Poets Society “Klocuz,” I’m the last dude). NY was feeling it, what a tragic time for Hip Hop. Thank God for Nas, he’s doing better than ever these days…
word
His friend Ill Will got killed, His brother got Shot and he had just had a baby, Biggie was in the best mind frame to excel while Nas may have had writers block on top of all those things while trying to deal with the pressure of the best lyricist.
Facts, miss you big
NaS never fell off. It Was Written was better than Illmatic, and I am…, Stillmatic, and God’s Son are all classics
Nas didn't fall off. His album got leaked and he literally had to make another one in like 2 months. All those songs from The Lost Tapes were supposed to be on his I Am album.
We just going to ignore ol boy at 11:12 caressing the side of Nas’ face lol 😂
Damn nasty shit right😅😅
Yeah that was a little weird, glad you caught it too🫢
That was havoc bro Killa black wiping Nas face. Some one throw a bottle on stage when Nas was rhyming.
i saw it on Twitter a couple weeks ago and was like wttttffff what would possess a nigga to do that
That was definitely suspect
Raekwon had the wildest overbite that you just knew he would punch your face up for lookin at.😂😂😂😂😂
🙈
Easily the best comment I've read all day
😂😂😂 glad he got them joints fixed cuz they was jumping out his mouth
@@PlayerAssTre raekwon: Don't look at my mouth piece God. I spent mad time doin this son.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very well done video! I never realized that the Big L MVP song on the album had a different beat than the music video version. R.I.P. Big L, the most valuable poet on the M.I.C.
If everyone is dissing one guy, then it says something about who is the 👑.

Facts
The fact that big said he didn't think he was getting the lyricist of the year award cus because of nas ,wow shows how big of influence nas is a real living legend
When i heard take it in blood song,i knew NAS was Goat of rap!
Where is this level of talent at today. Them 90s rapper was deep like ancient poets.
The 90s was so great because everyone was trying to be original, unlike today's era where everyone wants to sound like each other
🗣 Please say it again 💯💯💛🔥‼️
New Jersey and Philadelphia always sounded different from NY emcees in my opinion.
The whole video is about Nas, Jay-Z, Raekwon/Ghostface, Big all copying each other, as well as Pac accusing Big of it as well 😂😂😂
@@niccolobernardo2946 but none of them actually copied from each other
bruh, theres more originality in rap now compared to the 90s. everyone was trying sample the same urban R&B songs and borrow phrases from each other.
at least mowadays, rap borrows more from nerd/hipster influences and dares to diversify motifs beyond gangsters.
All I gotta say is Pac and NaS are my all time faved Hip Hop/Rap artist!!
Preach!! Brother!!
✊🏾💯
Facts bruh for me Nas Pac scarface then big
Nas, Pac and BIG
Big better than both them niggas. All goats though
NAS & KRS Longevity 🐐🐐
The dedication and in depth analysis is amazing! We don’t deserve this! Thank you
That Rae and Ghost beef with Big was mad petty. All of it.
Big Facts!!
I was looking for this comment, I thought it was just me💯💯💯💯💯
@@timbradford1673 listen to how Rae snickers on that skit, lol.
The fact L was able to scare Nas and still remain a legend is amazing RIP
Big L>>>Nas & Biggie
@@PERKIODURKIO Nas was Lyrically, Mentally & Spiritually ahead of them. Nas too Seasoned & Longevity 🐐
Nas been through WARS against Legends, Biggie, Pac, Mobb Deep, Hov, Camron….etc….And is STILL relevant til this day! 👑
That is y he is d goat
Never rly understood the mobb deep beef. They were always cool with eachother and nas made songs with them and gave them shoutouts on it was written
@@svenvdv2880 It was more stuff happening in their hood amongst friends than music. He had no issues with havoc. Nas started going at P because he featured on a song one of his homies did that dissed nas. So he took it personal.. With P I think he did not like the people he was hanging with. and at that time Nas thought everyone was coming at him tbh. he had the issue with Cormega after The Firm drama with Cormega and nature. So basically it was just QB stuff that escalated
Big never had beef with nas.. never..
An after all that Jay-z bs trying to stop his shine jt imagine what nas would've done if Jay wouldn't have tried stopping Nas.
Dam Jay Z took everything 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Nas in my opinion was one of the best lyricist of all time
90s Hip hop And R&B was the best Times 💯🔥🔥🔥
Swear down I miss them days
Golden age of hip hop
I have never seen anything so in-depth on The Notorious One, The B.I.G.
I'm here for Big L. Hope it's not a let down.
💯 rip Big L
Ive listened to all of em since 86 onwards DJ mixtapes exclusives the lot west to east, and today I still reach for 2pac, Biggie, Nas, Big L, Big Pun, Lloyd Banks, although obviously so many greats and special tracks, but these guys I guess or my fav flow
Big L is really just better then most of the rappers in this video
I didn't know who Big L was until after his death but then when I knew him, I was like damn!!! his bars was so dope!! R.I.P Big L💯
Big L a god dude was too fire
firmly believe that big was the best diss writer of all time. underrated because they were so subtle that practically everybody missed them
But they was all doing that though. I think big didn't care he got at you . While everyone else was kinda chill on a respect level cuz. Sure they could of got at big
Exactly
Genius …
Completely goes over most people’s head
I'm so glad I was a teen in the 90s golden era of hip hop 🙌 so many groundbreaking rappers and groups. This new generation has no fuggin clue..

We've got YEAT we're okay.
"we wuz the golfen age you kids jist ruined it".
yea, ya know what? baby boomers fet the same way when classic rock and R&B gae way to punk and urban R&B
Big L was ahead of his time
this is one of the greatest hip hop documentaries ever, huge props for my man for putting it down
The 90s. Creativity, Sport and Music was the greatest!
For anyone who’s wondering, this is an extended version of the original.
okay, i was like deja vu lmao
Completely off topic but just knowing that all the rap OGs from the 90s were friends and to have a memory knowing you walked the earth and had a relationship with two of the greatest rappers is insane to me. Imagine telling your grandkids that story
I LOVE this guy's commentary. He really did his research. He speaks ALL FACTS. Good work.
Wow that’s crazy. Never realized all this time that Biggie’s first album RTD was released on the same date 2Pac died September 13 just 2 yrs later
Bruh, I didn’t even know Biggie had beef with people like Nas. I always assumed east coast rappers banded together especially during the time of of the west vs east deal. I didn’t know all these guys were going at it. Biggie really came out with the heat on Life After Death.
They beef was really on a hip hop competitive level nothing more fr
@@KeithPullium-qm9ovKind of why I wish Eminem responded to The Game, we need competition in Hip-Hop again.
EMINEM CANNONT WASTE HIS TIME RESPONDING TO SOMEONE AS THE GAME BECAUSE HE IS NOT FOR REAL. CAN HE SPIT SOME BARS. OF COURSE BUT HE IS NOT ON EMINEM LEVEL. AND THE ONLY REASON HE WENT AT EMINEM WAS FOR CLOUT AND NOT COMPETITION CAUSE EMINEM SAID IT HIMSELF. THAT HE PRAYS FOR THE DAY THAT A RAPPER OF HIS CALIBER LIKE THE NAS'S, THE BIGGIE'S, THE TUPAC'S CAN GIVE HIM THAT FIRE.@@TooSweet353
Big didn't have beef with Naz not at all.. now the beef with the Wu was more on the WU having beef with big but big wasn't really caring about them because he knew he was nicer than those rappers
Schooly D , Ice-T , The Furious Five paved the way
NWA made people pay attention
WU , BIG, PAC, NAS, JAY, DarkManX and 50
made it an Industry 💯
OutKast
What about krs one
Don't forget about Rakim.
An Eminem
G- Rap
That Tracey Lee album was also amazing & slept on. A lot of people forget Big was putting Tracey Lee in the commission as well.
Literally just listen to it last night
Yep, ByStorm Entertainment was like the Philadelphia version of BadBoy and that 'Keep You Hands High' verse from BIG was one of his best
@@terrellgrant1570 “Many Faces”
Tracey used be at Palmers Social Club in Philly on the regular it was a good look fa Philly. A dope Philly M.C. at the club regularly and had no ego.
Notorious BIG will always be remembered, the greatest rapper of all time.
😂😂 The greatest number 5 because Biggie above Pac is a joke, Biggie above Nas is disrespectful and 50 Cent is above Biggie since 2005, and maybe Eminem is too
Over Kane, G Rap, KRS, and Rakim? Hell no!
@@sinistervoicez8561 50 cent and Eminem???? Are you fucking serious
By far...
@@sinistervoicez8561 you crazy if you think 50 is better than Big
Bro this video deserves so much more, He kept it Thoro
The original upload was 1.5M+ views. This is a reupload
Damn, J stole the whole biggie catalog
“ I’m not biter I’m writer 4 myself & others, I say a BIG verse I’m only biggin up my brother, biggin up my borough, I’m big enough to do it, I’m that Thorough “
That's a fact....J was a student of Biggie.
You deserve all the props and accolades that you can muster or stand for doing this documentary. I know this shit was grueling but comes off so effortlessly much love.
Damn dude, I forgot how subliminal big was. That “your fam, destiny, lay in my hands Gatling at my waist” was so cold dude
Amazing video bro!!! The golden era of hip-hop and will never be matched or duplicated. Lyrical giants it was written is my all time favorite but the purple tape is close.
It seems like everybody had love for BIG until he got bigger than them,then they all claimed he but they style.
For the record nas never had no problems wit big. Big had an issue with him being so close to the wu
Jealousy dawg
Loving this channel. Great video. You’ve done a lot of research and put a lot into making it what it is. So much happened in Hip-Hop in the 90’s that I’m still finding out to this day.
Not gon lie, I've just watch 5 streams back to back on this channel, I didn't know Hip Hop has went this far. it's very informative 💯
This was a great video. Rip biggie smalls. The real king of newyork when it comes to this hiphop shit.
I know people here keep saying Nas not getting on the gimme the loot remix was a huge missed opportunity but for me…nas not being the second featured artist on Ready to Die is the biggest missed opportunity. Him and Method Man and Biggie were basically the most skilled MC’s in NY at the time. That would have been a crazy
Why can't artists just accept that they're that dope that their impact in the game is influencing others 🤷🏿♂️
Exactly
This was amazingly put together! Great job! Gave great insight I completely missed
I listened to these songs hundreds of times never new these rappers were so intertwined in beef with one another. The crazy thing is they could have been making a lot of money together instead of fighting amongst one another for popularity with all the talent they had that is relevant to this day. 🔥
11:12 Nas one of the greats for not missing a beat while some man caresses his face from the side

Bro this is easily the most informative and best documentary I've ever seen about hip hop!!! Thank you!!! Thanks for your research!!
I listened to all those albums as the soundtrack to my life! And your breakdown literally had my mouth like this😮. Extremely thorough analysis brother! Great job
I gotta thank youtube for making u extend the length of this amazing content .
Can’t wait to watch this, rolling up a boing and taking a shower first now. Your vids are fire you do unmatchable research 💪🏽🔥🙏🏽🔥
Shoutout to Nas who’s very comfy in his own skin to admit that big L, biggie, pac, Eminem and canibus pushed him to really be elite or just don’t do it! That’s real shit! And to be honest those were the absolute elite of the elite of MC’s and Nas is not saying he can’t run with them he’s saying basically the styles were all different and their ways of rapping and the beats they needed to be successful Nas just simply saw it differently but this is just my assumption according to this video! Actually Nas had a lot of love and respect for big pun also who was a elite MC as well…… the 90’s era pushed everyone to really put that pen to work!!!! Everyone was putting in lyrical work and pushed eachother to go harder…. But damn Jayz… it’s like he got hold of biggie rhyme book and ran with it! Nas always been a real one and wasn’t afraid to show love to who was dope! Even to this day Nas is the same way…..
All facts
Exactly
Everybody wanted biggie style. Big the goat
Because of this video I see why people thought big was the goat..ill except that but not EM even though EM a top 10 mc on my personal list
«Aint no other kings in this rap thing, they siblings nothin but my children one shot they disappearin»
True King of NY Biggie 🐐
That was a good video. Good breakdown can you make one on 2Pac next after that whenever you can I love your channel.
So Big bodied Jay AND Nas on that Young G's joint lmaoo😂😂😂😂
Damn. Jay Z has no shame biting. He owe the Wallace estate millions for getting rich off big's lines
Forreal
Facts
He kept big name alive as big pushed him.Understand who iceberg slim was and the commission
His friend Ill Will got killed, His brother got Shot and he had just had a baby, Biggie was in the best mind frame to excel while Nas may have had writers block on top of all those things while trying to deal with the pressure of the best lyricist. ..
This just shows how big was the best ever til this day
Personally from a technical aspect I feel like Jay was better than big. And I also feel like nas was lyrically better than both. But big was more interesting or dynamic personality wise
All the 🐐 rappers are born between 1970-1975. I wonder what was in the water back then?
94 was a phenomenal year for hip hop and while I was a big fan of illmatic I always thought ready to die was better and as much as I like it was written I felt life after death was better...luv nas longevity thou still sounds good nearly thirty years later!!!(always wondered why there was no 96 source awards)

i like it a lot
I have to say this was interesting and entertaining. Being from Brooklyn, I lived through this era and you were detailed with lyrics from the songs. You literally opened my ears to the point where I had to go back and listen to Nas & Big again. I became a fan love your videos 💯👍🏽
This is a great video and breakdown. I’ve been watching some of these interviews and listening to how these guys described the relationships back then and they act they were best friends but when you break it down with some of the info and breakdown of lyrics you can clearly see some of these guys genuinely did not like each other at the time.
And I thought I knew about Hip Hop u sir have really opened my eyes never knew any of this awesome video instant sub
The Best Breakdown I’ve Seen And Definitely A Great Watch
I can watch this all day. Thank you for upload. It’s always getting goosebumps listening to some interviews by BIG, or Tupac and others emcees. And studying their lyrics and the wordplay and get to know the story behind it. Back in the day we have some brilliant emcees, with great producers and beat maker. DJ Premier, Havoc of Mobb Deep, The Alchemist, The RZA, J Dilla, Pete Rock and many more. All these people’s are amazing.
Ikr?? I feel the exact same way.✌🏾😂💯
They couldn't fuck with big they had to study him
Great breakdown of all the artists lyrics! Great video! Rip Biggie, 2Pac and Big L
You the best bro. The info the details are so enlightening!!!! Please keep them coming
Awesome material!! 💯

It ain't the Jamaican that made him what he was...it's the Brooklyn... stop trynna pollute USA legends with those rasclaat comments
Naw BIG was around nothing but Black Americans, so that’s the energy you see.
@@dakotareed4232Big used to travel back to Jamaica with his mother every summer growing up, during those trips/vacations he would hang out with his unch and he took him with to dancehall events where he heard toasting for the first time, from there on his love for music and hip hop began so its his jamaican roots which spawned his talent
This was very well
Put together
It's crazy because this whole documentary is just showing me how fucking dope biggie smalls was man, like, I know he's a legend and all but I had no idea how DOPE this man was! Crazy,🤦🏽♂️smh R.I.P. The Notorious BIG tho
Phenomenal documentary 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💥💥💯
As a hipHop head THIS is some reall raw rap history. The time you took to research and cross reference for this material 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
My favorite vid from u thx for the repost
As great as the music that came out of New York in the 90s, it sucks to hear how crabby the rappers were not letting one another succeed. This costed them great collaborations while the West were doing the opposite and striving.
I feel like it made their music better for them individually because they all made classics
Cause the West never had petty beefs?

This video is the best shit on RUclips, just raw 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Another solid video!!! Thank you 🙏
I never knew Biggie was going this hard at all these cats….
Yo he disected that kick in the door to the T I was missing mad Gems
Wow, this was dope. I knew some of thus stuff but alot more I didn't know, like the Big L stuff.
The video was extraordinarily done. 🏆🔥🔥🔥🔥
Late 90’s early 2000’s rap motivated me. I still love all the posse curs that came out during that time fr.
This is so fascinating.
This is a dope documentary but the lyric breakdown and context makes this video such a good listen.
You Did your 'Homework '
Brother,was superb,well done.
You just made me wanna listen to these LEGENDS Again Dog ..... GOOD WORK
Jay z owe Biggie some bread you stole way to many lines dawg damn..
@GOMUNKUL 6д vs MsBeast nobody jack that shit bro
I honestly feel that the problem wasn't that big "copied" other rappers, the problem was that he did it better or at least more successful, I don't think it's biting tho I do think big absorbed and was like "ey that's cool I put that in my repertoire" since he basically freestyles all his material anyway...but if he would copy and it would be a weak rip off rappers wouldn't even sweat it, they be like "yeah some copycat half ass trying to do what I do, whatever" but that's not what happened...I think the way people looked at BIG might be similar to how people today look at Harry mack...just so far ahead of the game it is frustrating for the rest, and i think big L was the same, so effortless it's just made other rappers angry
Biggie was magical can’t be train tht shit
U lost me at Harry Mack frfr that's total disrespect and disregard to the golden Era of the culture. Some of us actually lived thru all of this and bro Harry Mack is more of a street performer, his name isn't worthy in this conversation😂😂😅😂
Ofcourse, The Notorious B.I.G undeniably did take some inspiration from Nas with the baby cover for Ready to Die and also he did take inspiration from the Mafioso thing from Raekwon but he was owning it in his own way. That's Hip-Hop.
Biggie was a flow genius … and a true story teller … you can literally imagine the shit he’s saying in your head, he was clear in his lyrics and you can understand everything he said. Big is the king of NY … period
Excellent footage, editing and commentary.
Watched the whole thing.
Yo this channel really does their homework. You think you know hip hop, then you watch this video... and I realize there's so many subliminals I missed.
He didn't ask for that king of NY title. It was awarded to him. Like nas said, " one life,one love,so there can only be one king"...
Great information you really did your research!! I learned a lot and motivated
this was such a great video, wonderfully broken down!!
