I remember when this mash up could only be found on Soundcloud and now, not only is it on RUclips but 2.8 million people have viewed this track. Thats another reason why I love this platform despite all the shortcomings.
Same. Remember the same,SoundCloud and little views. Now.... Million or billion. Clown world like always. They appreciate an artwork only if he has some views or other S h i t.
@@letsmakeamovie2037 yep I'm still alive, finished high-school with As even tho my grades were terrible at the begging but I finished strong now I'm in college studying to be a art therapist to help people and help my parents on bills and working 3 jobs 24/7 and lost 5 of my homies to covid in 2020 and my grandparents as well and my pet who was my best friend was ran over but I'm still pulling through and hoping I'll survive another year.
For a man who went from having absolutely nothing in life but the dark thoughts in my head telling myself I would never amount to anything.. to a man who couldn't ask for anymore in this life.. this song hits hard.. never give up and only listen to that 1 little voice that tells you that you can!!!
I'm trying but life is fucking me. Beat cancer for now, and I then a year later my house burned down and I caught a case. Still fighting for my rights. I'm owed a good life. Ill fight for that until the day I die.
Look at Rapping back then, now look at 2018. Pure music like Elvis and Michal Jackson and Tupac, Zepplin and many others. Respect to you in Heaven my friends. We miss you so bad back here in Earth,
Currently sleeping rough. Fortunate enough to have my phone to listen to this. Downloaded it to Spotify and played on loop while I went on a little wonder before crashing very soon. Some songs/mashups just ooze class and this is one.
Thanks people. Life is what you make it. There's always someone worse off than myself or than you'd think. I'm back on the upward finally. That's all I'll say..
Funny because when I fist heard this The XX "Intro" I immediately thought, this would be good with a rap over it. Then, I was listening to Biggie before work. Then I searched The XX and the first predictive was "the xx biggie" - niiiicee......
I'm cool? thanks I like to know that haha, all I said is I got stoned then remembered this song and it was good, is that a problem for you? whenever someone mentions weed kids or stupid childish adults always need to say "you're cool" I'm not saying it to tell everyone that I like smoking I'm saying it because I enjoyed the song after a smoke 😂 so I agreed with what he said, unlike you I couldn't give a shit if I am cool or not, your opinion doesn't Matter to me but why act like everyone else whenever it's mentioned? it's cannabis I honestly can't think of anyone who smokes it to look cool to others especially youtuber's, grow up that was happening ages ago we are way past them times
do you say "you're cool" whenever someone says how many cigarettes they smoke or how much they drink every weekend? because that is pretty "cool" isn't it
I remember 5 years ago i had jack shit. Lost my job and was bekow the breadline. Suffrred a slipped disc and skipped strait to being depressed. I now have a life i enjoy and am 4 days away until i go for a 2 weekd trip to a carabean island! Crazy how life can change.
I wish Tupac or Notorious BIG didn't get killed so they could see and rap about the world we live in now. Two people who think everyone understands, that are misunderstood, putting this horrible world in perspective for all of us.
If they both was here, rap would be different. There won't be some studio gangsta shit around. These days "rappers" can't be compared to Biggie, Big L, Tupac, Eazy - E, Canibus, Big Pun, and none of them. In the 90s there wasn't none same style rapper. Everyone was different. These days they all sound same, just with different beats and maybe lyrics, if I can call em like that. It's pretty hard to understand what they are saying. Sounds like some devil sumonning or some other black magic shit. In the 90s they rapped about their real life. Like how it is to be born and raised in the hood, when ya are 6 years old, and you see people getting killed on the streets, where you all the time see drug hustlers and shit. They rapped about real shit. Ya think 90s hip hop was lies? Eazy - E was gangsta since he was born. Like BG Knocc Out who got kicked out of the school at class 8 because of doing drive by. Biggie was hustling on the streets when he was 13, writing rhymes in his notes when he was younger then 10. These days rappers are living in some fantasy world. Trying to be gangstas. But fuck it, they ain't from the hood.
Yeah, this album is dedicated To all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nothin' To all the people that lived above the buildings that I was hustlin' in front of Called the police on me when I was just tryin' to make some money to feed my daughter (it's all good) And all the niggas in the struggle You know what I'm sayin'?

Yesss nearly the end of 2022 the time has come as it always has been and Im turning 33 i can not only feel I can see and almost taste this paradigm shift of change happening everywhere and with everything and within everyone within myself I have never felt this way before that is how I know it's different and even though it's been the most un enjoyable process of pain isolation sadness anger grief resentment tears and a great sense of loss . We are embracing the one constant in life and one of the hardest things to do which is change because we must . So I am humble and gratefully going through this passage of time I am sharing my deepest thoughts and feelings today and putting it all out there honestly because it has consumed me and a problem shared is a problem halved they say so I hope this goes well as I'm trying to do something different in order to receive something different First and foremost I'd like to send light and love your way through whatever you have been through no matter who you are and how alone you might feel . Pain cannot be measured we all have different stories but the path is one and is always entwined . Though myself I wouldn't even be able to make a list and there is no need to because those who know will understand I lost so much " forget about places and things but loved ones and losing myself not just during the pandemic but in my whole entire life in general because I was to afraid to be myself worried to much about things and people that never mattered in the first place and worried about things that people constantly tell you not too worry about . We are only human and just wanting to belong and feel truly loved just for being you and authentic connection was always the dream it was my only true desire and goal and was always my only intention always will be ❤️ isn't it for all of us the yearning for something more* intimacy truth love and honesty and being loved for exactly that and who you are we all just want to be loved and love in return in every aspect of our lives reciprocated . This pandemic was just a catalyst for change that was already unfolding. Hitting rock bottom my friends let me tell you there's no such thing it's just an endless pit . I just want to be free from my own self limiting beliefs and all the conditioning and confusion that has taken place pushing me forward to yesssssss I'm going to say it forgiveness my friends to whomever hurt me my entire life I don't want to understand no more just want patience and no more blame I forgive because I want to in order to move on with my life not saying what happened was ok but that I am moving on for myself I forgive because I also want forgiveness towards myself and from whom I've might have had an impact on "hurt people hurt people they say" intention verses impact and family can be a true example of that dysfunction and love. If not us then who if not me then why not you (it is up to us to break the cycle of generational trauma and patterns which have defined us and held us back for too long now ) what can I do on my own said 70 billion people. Acceptance and letting go of the past being generated by fear and surrendering to the fact that I'm not in control of the outcomes in life and the choices that people make. Though now being aware of this i want to acknowledge and take responsibility and own my part in what needs to be owned the rest was just me carrying around other people's guilt and stuff it wasn't ever for me to carry or own and coming to not only the realisation but the belief!! that I deserve!! To be loved happy and peacefull was hard I had to do it on my own and I had to go my own way on my own through the hurt and grief only to realise that which I already knew all along that no one is going to save me no god no drug no family member nothing no one could have done it for me and never will except for myself and to find that spark within myself again to actually want to survive was such a long journey and it's not easy it's so fucking hard to love yourself especially after trauma and lowself esteem and abuse We are truly warriors the journey towards oneself is one of the biggest battles I have ever faced and I feel blessed perservering and overcoming the darkest nights of my soul waiting for the sun the rise again night after night day after day it felt so empty and pointless I had given up so many times I should not even be alive so I'm grateful and blessed even on my shittest days because now I know the one constant in life is change and I'm embracing the change every chance I get I never thought I had it in me I would honestly be in complete self destruction at the smallest sign of confusion or a subtle feeling coming on would cause me to disrupt everything and it was so unmanageable and I was powerless. The path to enlightenment is not just about following the light true Enlightenment is facing the deepest darkest parts of yourself and facing those shadows and demons and finding the light through that process this is the true path of enlightenment with patience and practise and perseverance soon enough there will be no place for the darkness to creep back in at every chance it can take and catch you by suprise you will be able to see it coming it will be blinded by the light . Point being no more fear generated people in my life and no more being generated by fear based decisions and choices and outcomes No one can love me if I don't feel that love towards myself so yess forgiveness acceptance letting go of fear and surrendering to the fact that I'm not in control and I will never fully understand this world we live in and by saying that I dont need to it's not my job to please everybody and care about what they think I've always been a vulnerable person though without boundaries it broke and chipped away parts of my heart and soul now I'm 32 and all I know is that I know nothing at all other than the fact that I never really needed to know what I wanted so much pressure 😂 I just starting by knowing what I don't want and at this point I will do everything in my power to save myself and preserve my energy and survive these times and this life because life is worth living and I don't want to die . As Eckhart tolle said his turning point was finding himself in a position where he said "I cannot live with myself any longer " Who is this ( I ) and who is this (SELF) separating these ideo idiot tiocal thoughts that have been pumped into our heads by society from day 1 and generated by fear and corruption . NO MORE enough is enough let's start thinking for ourselves please all we have is this present moment in time nothing more and nothing less (NOW) is the only moment that will always be here until our time is up and you are the only one that has to be with you 24 hours a day so why the insecure thoughts and feelings of unworthiness and guilt for whom and for what we are exhausted as it is who am I to judge or stroke you down . I'm 32 having realised that everything I have been taught or thought or believed up until this point was a lie 🤔 and now I'm unlearning everything I ever believed to be true that never felt right 🫣🥹 wiping the slate clean like being born again . So yes my freinds forgiveness acceptance letting go of fear and surrendering to my higher power which is basically anything or anyone that helps me get out of my own way to make room for the real authentic me I am still able to be vulnerable which is who I am but now both boundaries I trust myself and my instincts . Mucho amor zülal
back then: *raps about the real world and real struggles and having good times with friends and family* now a days: *raps about guns, crimes, drugs, and hoochies.*

ATCQ2009 I always think of how many more songs we would have by now
ATCQ2009 Tupac was racist he left he's bird because he thought people were judging him because she was white
Or? You mean and?
if they were alive they would die again😂😂😂

2023 and still listening from the day it’s released 🙏🏻💯
just beautiful. simply beautiful.
Yeah, this album is dedicated
To all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nothin'
To all the people that lived above the buildings that I was hustlin' in front of
Called the police on me when I was just tryin' to make some money to feed my daughter (it's all good)
And all the niggas in the struggle
You know what I'm sayin'? It's all good, baby baby
It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! magazine
Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Hangin' pictures on my wall
Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
Smokin' weed in Bambu, sippin' on Private Stock
Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
With the hat to match
Remember Rappin' Duke? Duh-ha, duh-ha
You never thought that hip-hop would take it this far
Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight
Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
Peace to Ron G, Brucie B, Kid Capri
Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski
I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
Call the crib, same number, same hood
It's all good (It's all good)
And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
You know very well
Who you are
Don't let 'em hold you down
Reach for the stars
You had a goal
But not that many
'Cause you're the only one
I'll give you good and plenty
I made the change from a common thief
To up close and personal with Robin Leach
And I'm far from cheap
I smoke skunk with my peeps all day
Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
The Moët and Alizé keep me pissy
Girls used to diss me
Now they write letters 'cause they miss me
I never thought it could happen, this rappin' stuff
I was too used to packin' gats and stuff
Now honeys play me close like butter play toast
From the Mississippi down to the East Coast
Condos in Queens, indo for weeks
Sold-out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak
Livin' life without fear
Puttin' five karats in my baby girl's ear
Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool
Considered a fool 'cause I dropped out of high school
Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood
And it's still all good
And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
You know very well
Who you are
Don't let 'em hold you down
Reach for the stars
You had a goal
But not that many
'Cause you're the only one
I'll give you good and plenty
Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this
50-inch screen, money-green leather sofa
Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
Phone bill about two G's flat
No need to worry, my accountant handles that
And my whole crew is loungin'
Celebratin' every day, no more public housin'
Thinkin' back on my one-room shack
Now my mom pimps a Ac' with minks on her back
And she loves to show me off of course
Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
Birthdays was the worst days
Now we sip Champagne when we thirsty
Uh, damn right, I like the life I live
'Cause I went from negative to positive
And it's all (It's all good, nigga)
And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
You know very well
Who you are
Don't let 'em hold you down
And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
Reach for the stars
You had a goal
But not that many
'Cause you're the only one
And if you don't know, now you know, nigga
I'll give you good and plenty
Representin' B-Town in the house
Junior Mafia, mad flavor
Uh, uh, yeah, aight
You know very well
Who you are
Don't let 'em hold you down
Reach for the stars
You had a goal
But not that many
'Cause you're the only one
I'll give you good and plenty
Biggie Smalls, it's all good, nigga
Junior Mafia, it's all good, nigga
Bad Boy, it's all good, nigga
It's all good

Great work listened to this so many times
Someone who knows how to do a Biggie mix properly ❤️ thank you!
Yesss nearly the end of 2022 the time has come as it always has been and Im turning 33 i can not only feel I can see and almost taste this paradigm shift of change happening everywhere and with everything and within everyone within myself I have never felt this way before that is how I know it's different and even though it's been the most un enjoyable process of pain isolation sadness anger grief resentment tears and a great sense of loss . We are embracing the one constant in life and one of the hardest things to do which is change because we must . So I am humble and gratefully going through this passage of time
I am sharing my deepest thoughts and feelings today and putting it all out there honestly because it has consumed me and a problem shared is a problem halved they say so I hope this goes well as I'm trying to do something different in order to receive something different
First and foremost I'd like to send light and love your way through whatever you have been through no matter who you are and how alone you might feel .
Pain cannot be measured we all have different stories but the path is one and is always entwined .
Though myself I wouldn't even be able to make a list and there is no need to because those who know will understand
I lost so much " forget about places and things but loved ones and losing myself not just during the pandemic but in my whole entire life in general because I was to afraid to be myself worried to much about things and people that never mattered in the first place and worried about things that people constantly tell you not too worry about .
We are only human and just wanting to belong and feel truly loved just for being you and authentic connection was always the dream it was my only true desire and goal and was always my only intention always will be ❤️ isn't it for all of us the yearning for something more* intimacy truth love and honesty and being loved for exactly that and who you are we all just want to be loved and love in return in every aspect of our lives reciprocated .
This pandemic was just a catalyst for change that was already unfolding.
Hitting rock bottom my friends let me tell you there's no such thing it's just an endless pit .
I just want to be free from my own self limiting beliefs and all the conditioning and confusion that has taken place pushing me forward to yesssssss I'm going to say it forgiveness my friends to whomever hurt me my entire life I don't want to understand no more just want patience and no more blame I forgive because I want to in order to move on with my life not saying what happened was ok but that I am moving on for myself I forgive because I also want forgiveness towards myself and from whom I've might have had an impact on "hurt people hurt people they say" intention verses impact and family can be a true example of that dysfunction and love.
If not us then who if not me then why not you
(it is up to us to break the cycle of generational trauma and patterns which have defined us and held us back for too long now )
what can I do on my own said 70 billion people.
Acceptance and letting go of the past being generated by fear and surrendering to the fact that I'm not in control of the outcomes in life and the choices that people make.
Though now being aware of this i want to acknowledge and take responsibility and own my part in what needs to be owned the rest was just me carrying around other people's guilt and stuff it wasn't ever for me to carry or own and coming to not only the realisation
but the belief!! that I deserve!! To be loved happy and peacefull was hard I had to do it on my own and I had to go my own way on my own through the hurt and grief only to realise that which I already knew all along that no one is going to save me no god no drug no family member nothing no one could have done it for me and never will except for myself and to find that spark within myself again to actually want to survive was such a long journey and it's not easy it's so fucking hard to love yourself especially after trauma and lowself esteem and abuse
We are truly warriors the journey towards oneself is one of the biggest battles I have ever faced and I feel blessed perservering and overcoming the darkest nights of my soul waiting for the sun the rise again night after night day after day it felt so empty and pointless I had given up so many times I should not even be alive so I'm grateful and blessed even on my shittest days because now I know the one constant in life is change and I'm embracing the change every chance I get I never thought I had it in me I would honestly be in complete self destruction at the smallest sign of confusion or a subtle feeling coming on would cause me to disrupt everything and it was so unmanageable and I was powerless.
The path to enlightenment is not just about following the light true Enlightenment is facing the deepest darkest parts of yourself and facing those shadows and demons and finding the light through that process this is the true path of enlightenment with patience and practise and perseverance soon enough there will be no place for the darkness to creep back in at every chance it can take and catch you by suprise you will be able to see it coming it will be blinded by the light .
Point being no more fear generated people in my life and no more being generated by fear based decisions and choices and outcomes
No one can love me if I don't feel that love towards myself so yess forgiveness acceptance letting go of fear and surrendering to the fact that I'm not in control and I will never fully understand this world we live in and by saying that I dont need to it's not my job to please everybody and care about what they think I've always been a vulnerable person though without boundaries it broke and chipped away parts of my heart and soul now I'm 32 and all I know is that I know nothing at all other than the fact that I never really needed to know what I wanted so much pressure
😂 I just starting by knowing what I don't want and at this point I will do everything in my power to save myself and preserve my energy and survive these times and this life because life is worth living and I don't want to die .
As Eckhart tolle said his turning point was finding himself in a position where he said
"I cannot live with myself any longer "
Who is this ( I ) and who is this (SELF) separating these ideo idiot tiocal thoughts that have been pumped into our heads by society from day 1 and generated by fear and corruption .
NO MORE
enough is enough let's start thinking for ourselves please all we have is this present moment in time nothing more and nothing less (NOW) is the only moment that will always be here until our time is up and you are the only one that has to be with you 24 hours a day so why the insecure thoughts and feelings of unworthiness and guilt for whom and for what we are exhausted as it is who am I to judge or stroke you down .
I'm 32 having realised that everything I have been taught or thought or believed up until this point was a lie 🤔 and now I'm unlearning everything I ever believed to be true that never felt right 🫣🥹 wiping the slate clean like being born again .
So yes my freinds forgiveness acceptance letting go of fear and surrendering to my higher power which is basically anything or anyone that helps me get out of my own way to make room for the real authentic me I am still able to be vulnerable which is who I am but now both boundaries I trust myself and my instincts .

This beat goes well with this tune big up biggie

I just love those hiphop remixes with the The XX Intro beat, you can hear lyrics really good.
Love it!

Will be 70 years old and will still be ripping bong to this song happy and high as hell
True Storys never die.
This tune will never not make me feel
alive
Listened to this on DMT. Unreal!
12 years later and little did the uploader know that this track would go viral. Madness
Or is it possible he did know and has been plotting a comeback album that will make the time Kanye spent on Donda pale in comparison? 🤔🤔🤔
