8. The Notorious BIGLife After Death
Crazy album! ‘Sky’s The Limit’ and ‘Miss U’. I didn’t even know ‘Miss U’ was sampled, the other day I was in the car and I heard the original one! I have Tupac on this list too – in the same way I have Jay Z and Nas, because what happens when people are warring is that the fan, subliminally – whether they like it or not, even if they choose sides – they take an interest in the other person as well. But me being musical as well, and understanding it’s not my war, I don’t have to take sides – I can like one more than the other but I’m not going to hate the other one, I don’t have to. Biggie is the man for flows and vibes – he’s just got that swagger, that’s undeniable. It’s weird because I think Biggie is a better rapper than Tupac, but Tupac had so many different other pockets and reasons for me to like him.
