R.I.P. The Notorious B.I.G. May 21st 1972 - March 9th 1997. The Notorious B.I.G. Diddy & Craig Mack legendary freestyle from 1995 live on Westwood's show.
Listen to the content and how advanced it was for the age. BIG was just 22-23 rapping like this. The maturity of the lyrics in this era will never be touched
Back in 95 we knew that these rappers (BIG, Wu, Nas, Etc..) were nice but we didn't realize we were witnessing history.....legends! The same in sports, watching Jordan drop 30 or 40 any given night was the normal, now looking back we were watching the GOAT!
To this day, I still don't understand how BIG was able to craft such magnificent lyrics; especially given his young age. Lil' Kim said it best: BIG wasn't a rapper; he was a Preacher... He was simply the most natural person we have heard at this Hip Hop art form... Still can't believe his flow... Incredible! RIP - B I G!
The Finest Bordeaux! As BIG said, 'The FINEST Women I love with a Passion, You're Man's a WIMP, I'll give that ass a good thrashin' ' Get him some Bordeaux, NOW!
Dericforeal fa real fa real! No...FR FR! NEVER EVER heard this. Petty much Knew all Biggies' verses were all out...as he didnt drop too many. 😥. HOW PROPER TO HEAR HIM RESURRECT ON HIS DEATH ANNIVERSARY WITH new material. TY Westwood AND WHOMEVER posted this originally
+Big L In all of Hip Hop history? That's a wild ass statement, bro. He's not the greatest of all time but he is, without a single doubt, one of the nicest emcees ever heard on the mic. You do know Black Thought was who Big Pun chose to replace Biggie on "Super Lyrical" after he died, rite? Maybe you saying boring doesn't mean you're also saying he's wack but still...in all of Hip Hop history, my nigga?
Big L are you joking lol, his production is the best in the business, are you implying the roots are terrible? His flow is absolutely astonishing, and his voice may be monotone but the sound is impeccable. You haven't heard enough black thought clearly. I always blast him through my car speakers at full volume. You can fucking go crazy to his shit
I remember this back when it came out in the 90's, I have the live version. Mack was freestyling, BIG was spitting written shit form the JR Mafia album. BIG didn't freestyle but his pen game was nasty.
Used to have this on cassette back in the day. Was lucky enough to catch it when Westwood replayed it a few years on. Very rare, props for reposting. RIP BIG. Much love to Craig Mack too.
Think my head would of bobbed straight of my shoulders listening to this as it happened! What year did Tim stop doing these radio freestyles? I'm from aus so I only know tim from RUclips.
I was working night shifts in a warehouse in Redhill. Listened to this live that Friday night on Radio 1 and recorded on cassette tape too. Biggie's only appearance in London in Hammersmith.
By far the most ominous freestyle I've ever heard, that beat freaks me out every time I hear knowing how Biggies life ended, there's just something very eerie about this
7:18 and onward isn't the Westwood freestyle B.I.G. did with Craig Mack in 1995, it's the last part of the freestyle B.I.G. did with Lil Cease on Wake Up Show three days before he died in 1997.
I have 45mis of this on cassette followed by the concert phone calls an all.. Timeless. Biggie was on his way back to London, but took a quick trip to L. A the rest is history.. We love hip hop in the UK.. We embraced it from the beginning so the massive break dance competitions we held in the early 80's is a testament to our love of the lifestyle as young black mainly 1st generation Jamaican, Trinidadian bajan or Caribbean kids used to the reggae,and its heavy speakers mic, decks & a M. C. We already luved anything funky or soul filled as much as reggae so hip hop ws heaven when established its self in the UK. . As biggie was drawn to it being 1st generation Jamaican, busta, kool herc u get my drift..... Biggie on his visits to Jamaica would hv been schooled about the history and its origins from the 60s ultimately the late great U-Roy the first m.c to do it who is called the godfather of all Mcs.. Big-mac in da house. Big up da The puppy pound crew.. Who knows wil know lol
I heard this live on Radio 1 - I remember loving Craig’s swag so much. Mad that Biggie was once a rapper who appeared live on radio. He feels like a myth these days. This isn’t the full show, though... there’s another part where he says a verse that goes “notorious, glorious, in the sack, stick my thumb up in ya asscrack/ Brooklyn freaky Biggs with the most stuff, I’m Jesus pops, Mary just blame Joseph”.
After hearing the remix of flava in ya ear I ALWAYS thought Biggie and Craig were a good duo. If only they liked each other then we would hear more amazingness like that flava in ya ear remix...
i listened to this entire broadcast when it was on and will never forget when ppl rang n the words "bitch get off the phone" LOL memorys...ahhh mann them were the days
The truest and realist freestyle rapper ever to be heard, not Eminem, Jada, Jay Z, papoose, Pac BIG L, Nas etc can touch this monster behind the microphone. He's the boogie man of rap
R.i.p Biggie Smalls
R.i.p Craig Mack
LEGENDS!
Word
I'm in tears man a fucking lyrical master LoVE His music RIPBIGGIE
He does. I have proof.
Me to man
Listen to the content and how advanced it was for the age. BIG was just 22-23 rapping like this. The maturity of the lyrics in this era will never be touched
Did you ever heard about Big L or Big Pun before?
100% like Prodigy in shook ones, "I'm only 19 but my mind is old"
@@IamSandman718 he was 22 when he dropped this
Nas was younger & more advanced But yes Biggie was amazing.
I been a Biggie Stan for 20+ years ... yet NEVER heard this freestyle.... I'm sorry Big for having failed you...
FlipStar26 you should be ashamed! haha
YOU GOOD FLIPSTAR26 BIGGIES JOINT WAS WRITTEN.HE WASNT A FREESTYLER LIKE SAY A METHODMAN.
Exactly what I said when I clicked lol
biggie killed on everything especially on that front lines beat
Whats the name of this beat bro?
@@siege-79 Mobb Deep - Hell on Earth ruclips.net/video/AE57aKWNU4o/видео.html
@@siege-79 Redman Rockafella Remix
"FLOWS TIGHTER THAN PIGEON PUNNANI". I HAD TO STOP THE SONG, TURN OFF YOU TUBE LIKE 'NO THIS NIGGA DIDNT' R.I.P BIGGIE
LAUGHHHH

agree with ya. but shit craig mack had that killer flow too
@@jackssmirkingrevenge9365 Agree. Mack had a sweet flow! But, BIG was highly-unusual... Beyond hypnotic. Black King!

Dericforeal fa real fa real! No...FR FR! NEVER EVER heard this. Petty much Knew all Biggies' verses were all out...as he didnt drop too many. 😥. HOW PROPER TO HEAR HIM RESURRECT ON HIS DEATH ANNIVERSARY WITH new material.
TY Westwood AND WHOMEVER posted this originally
Dericforeal good couple years
B.I.G is undoubtably the greatest mcee to grace the genre of hip hop.
Baraka Obama by far the greatest. his flow and beats he spat on so sooooo much better than 2 pac
dr greenthumb so better than 2pac = #1? nah. big aint the best and pac most definitely fuckin isnt. black thought is the greatest of all time
+Big L In all of Hip Hop history? That's a wild ass statement, bro. He's not the greatest of all time but he is, without a single doubt, one of the nicest emcees ever heard on the mic.

+Big L Obviously, u don't kno what flow means if ur calling it "flow talent". U can't be taken seriously in discussions about emcees.
Holy shit.... I'm the biggest Biggie fan and I never heard this...
Daniel Martin you're not im the biggest biggie fan. I have lost of song you haven't heard.
Mayby not heard this one as well ruclips.net/video/uOPPNDXjQbo/видео.html

Used to have this on cassette back in the day. Was lucky enough to catch it when Westwood replayed it a few years on. Very rare, props for reposting. RIP BIG. Much love to Craig Mack too.
Quincy Phillip and now, R.I.P. to Craig Mack
2:00-3:45 is the best freestyle ever
4:05 - 4:31 is better.
rest in peace Biggie Smalls wordup!
I honestly feel Biggie not making an album in 1995 was a Mistake and 1 of the biggest missed opportunities in Hip Hop History
diesel101raw he was on fire in 1995
@diesel101raw - He did drop album in ‘95 with junior mafia
Life after death
Ready to die was in 94.. lad was 97 ig there was a gap🤔
The Observer can’t rush perfection, Life After Death was a fuckin movie in audio. Classic Album
RIP Biggie
and Craig
What a flow Biggie had. And oh wow, I can actually understand every single word he is saying!
street fighter 2 im inviting you!
the best to EVER do it........
First time hearing this, made my day.
The best who ever did it, the best who ever lived it, there will be no one else to come close to BIG's level. Greatest of all time.
When instagram followers werent a show of your skills 😢😢 R.I.P to the greatest !
remember listening to this as it went out - fantastic!
Think my head would of bobbed straight of my shoulders listening to this as it happened! What year did Tim stop doing these radio freestyles? I'm from aus so I only know tim from RUclips.
You witnessed a true rare moment man.... I would kill to have heard this shit droppin live!

Biggie's mind was a landmine.
Born in 1986..... Bíggie been sickedness and the wickedness since he started
Westwood you're a legend

After hearing the remix of flava in ya ear I ALWAYS thought Biggie and Craig were a good duo. If only they liked each other then we would hear more amazingness like that flava in ya ear remix...
