How do. In light of the negative reaction to the Notorious BIG and Eminem video, I have taken it upon myself to post lots of Biggie links from YouTube by way of an education on the talents of the late, great fatman.
Here we see the artist as a young man, engaging in fine example of 'street battling'
Another great freestyle - kicks in after a minute or so
10 crack commandments - simple but effective
Warning - more story telling fun times
That'll do.
I realise that this will be about as popular as a 9/11 conspiracy link, but hey, I'm livin' dangerously.
Some lyrical themes may prove unpopular. I invite doubters to consider the recent comments by one Patrick Moore, and whether they undermine his talents as an astronomer.

It's just that this would make him pretty cool.
He had a nice voice, anyway.

He's like a dangerous version of Ogden Nash.

if we sung
"ogden nash, ogden nash, ogden nash had a paddock of hash"
And would kick us out of the library.
I probably wouldn't remember this if she didn't give a shit.

We'd go abseiling across the floor in the non-fiction section.
Fuck these shitty childhood memories.

Alan Davies on Johnathon Ross once. Fiddy was also on. He was wearing a G-Unit t-shirt (fiddy).
Alan walked on stage, sat down and said 'I thought his shirt said CUNT'. The 'hard man' just laughed.
edit I know this is Biggy, but I dont now much about him.

His favourite subject is how rich he is, the utter utter cunt.
www.zebratraffic.co.uk/ = really good unassuming happy hiphop. As it should be.

but I'd chose 'gifted' over 'unassuming' when it comes to rating recording artists. The guitarist from Travis may be unassuming, but he's no Hendrix.

but I just dont see how (in my opinion, of course) he's all that talented. The lyrics have 0 merit, the beats are DIRGE and the whole scene based around it thoroughly deserves a good slapping. All he does is drone on about mindless self-important drivel.
Rahzel, yes. The Beastie Boys, yes. De La Soul, yes. DJ Format, yes. These guys? I just dont see where the actual talent lies...

There's some pretty sophisticated synchopation in there.

They've all got that, otherwise it really would be talentless.
