In 1997 while driving from Atlanta To New York for my Family Patriarch’s funeral, around Charlotte the information came across the radio that B.I.G. had been killed. Later that evening, as my family had cleared the Holland Tunnel, New York’s Hot 97 played “Hypnotize” back to back on repeat, while they played rememberances of Biggie by different artists. My Grandfather’s passing, will always be tied to this, in my mind.

Who y’all talking to man?
Uhh
Check it out, check it out
This here goes out
to all the n—as that be f–king mad b—hes
in other n—as cribs
thinkin s–t is sweet
N—a creep up on your ass, hahaha
Live n—as respect it, check it

I kick flows for ya, kick down doors for ya
Even left all my motherf–king hoes for ya
N—as think Frankie p—y whipped, n—a picture that
With a Kodak, Insta-ma-tak
We don’t get down like that, lay my game down quite flat
Sweetness,
Where you parked at?
Petiteness,
But that ass fat
She got a body make a n—a wanna eat that, I’m f—kin’ with you
The b—h official though, d–k harder than a missile yo
Try to hit if she trippin disappearing like Arsenio
Yo, the b—h push a double-oh
with the five in front, probably a conniving stunt
Y’all drive in front, I’m a peel with her
Find a deal with her, she f–k around and steal, huh?
Then we all get laced
