"Room 112, where the players dwell and stash more cash than Bert Padell, inhale" - The Notorious B.I.G.

[@elliot2177]

yep

[@reelspilltv]

I used to do stick-ups, 'cause h--s is irritating like the hiccups Excuse me, flows just grow through me Like trees to branches, cliffs to avalanches It's the praying mantis, deep like the mind of Farrakhan A motherf--ing rap phenomenon - The Notorious B.I.G

[@mollee4950]

Back in the day when “only you” came out I always thought who TF is Bert Padell and why is Big shouting him out “stash more cash than Bert Padell” he must be a rich motherfvcker if B.I. is bigging him up!! LOL!! Then I found out who he was and cracked up laughing, but Bert was from Brooklyn so Big would already F wit him but given that he was handing out checks, Big definitely F’d with him! He passed away in 2018 I believe, so him and Big are chillin’ in the afterlife together again!

I wish he just released it😂. I just wish Tupac heard Biggie's response. And Tupac would have dissed Busta Rhymes for letting Biggie diss him just like Jay Z...

He did release Ugliest. Straight dissed Pac.

[@melvinhhcp3615]

[@melvinhhcp3615]

Aside from Who Shot Ya, it never happened while Pac was alive. Even with Who Shot Ya, Big publicly denied in Vibe Magazine that it was about Pac.

[@Ironman79]

Pac said names. You can’t come with subliminal disses once your name is called out.

[@mikegillins4992]

Also he mentioned big after his car accident so this was clearly after pac was killed, didn't make sense to not only put it out but even for big to record it...that the kind of heat big should of came with months before when pac was still alive!!!

@@eriklaguira if you lived during that time you would understand. Tupac was the Top Rapper then cause all the Women wanted him. LL Cool J Snoop for example went back to their main chicks after the girls they were went wanted Tupac. They are Iverson and Kobe. They are Iverson and Kobe before Iverson. Fans of both equally will never say one is better than the other as both provided The bar no other rappers has since reached. For us Geminis its the calm gemini and the wild gemini. If they did songs together, you wouldve seen why I said what is said. Puffy fucked and Suge fucked that relationship up.

@@johnwalters3403 I'm from the neighborhood before biggie blew up he was a big thing to dudes in the neighborhood from Jay to fab whoever came out of bedstuy none of them had the neighborhood buzz biggie had before he came out. Those tapes was something special the only other person I know of who had they whole neighborhood behind them as a sure thing before they blew up is DMX. That's what separated biggie from almost everybody. Not to mention he never changed what he talked about from his first single to the day he died biggie talked about the same thing no matter who he recorded with or what type of song it was about. That's my only problem with the pac beef biggie was biggie before he ever met pac. Just think what other street rapper could make a banger with Craig Mac Busta and LL and be his self on a record. Most rappers have to change they subject matter because of the concept of the song not biggie.lol

[@kyngryce911]

I can honestly say 2pac All Day. Big ain’t really who he say he is. Game recognize Game. PAC was really that Nigga as Busta just said. Snoop tell a story of how Nas had goons and PAC gave No F 😂 Nas Said he told his goons back down. Snoop ass was shook 😂
