Poll: What’s your favorite Notorious B.I.G. song?
One of the great things about the new movie “Notorious,” and there are a few, is the music.
Rapper Notorious B.I.G. left behind an incredible batch of music that sounds as fresh today as it did when his debut album “Ready to Die” was released in 1994.
It’s a testament to B.I.G.’s musical prowess that Bad Boy was able to milk his legacy with a greatest hits CD despite the fact B.I.G. only released one CD while he was alive.
“Notorious,” starring Jamal Woolard as the slain rapper, opens in theaters today.
In what I believe was my toughest poll question yet, I voted for “Big Poppa” because for me it summed up B.I.G. best, from the title to his flow to the lyrics and of course that soulful Isley Brothers sample.

Notorious Thugs is a masterpiece but I went with Juicy.
I went with the dark horse, Gimme The Loot. Not one of his most popular, but a great hybrid of his early spit-fire delivery crossed with his story-telling ability. Warning is another great example of this. I’d also vote for Machine Gun Funk if it was a choice.
I voted - yeah that’s all I have to say about that.

who shot ya is my fav biggie song b/c it has the hardest verse…
Who shot ya?
Seperate the weak from the obsolete
Hard to creep them brooklyn streets
Its on n****, f*** all that bickering beef
I can hear sweat trickling down your cheek
Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet
Thundering, shaking the concrete…
So many good songs here. Can’t really argue with any of them but I went with hypnotize.
None of ‘em. They all suck.
I would like to had the chance to choose the first five in order, you can’t just pick one B.I.G song it was a hard choice but I choose One More Chance.
“Dead Wrong” is the one for me with “One More Chance” being a close second.
I say “One More Chance” because it was the first Biggie rap I ever learned. I loves me some Faith Evans too, so that cinches it.
Biggie is by far one of my favorite artist. I remember going to Saints and The Palace when I was younger. The DJ would play “Big Poppa” and the crowd would go wild. I thought the song was about me though.lol
