  • "Being broke is childish and I'm quite grown"

    Hov is the best. I'm sorry

  • Watch Over 25,000 free hit movies at greatmovies(DOT)tk

  • "biggie be richie like lyonnel"

  • **Nigga Jay-Z is tha business i bet yo lame ass cant spit a lick**

  • biggie shits on jayz are u kidding me, jayz is wack

  • Rockafella Bad Boy Calabo.... RIP Notorious BIG, Jay Hova holdin it down for the BK

  • pun is not better than jay wtf are u talkin about

  • pun is monster, I say they have equal potential, it's like a great offense vs. a great defense, yin/yang.

  • BIG and Hov can't be compared... Biggie is the king of storytelling and no one can eff wit Hov as far as subtle allusions... both are kings in their own right... sick of rappers being compared to each other...

  • DaveyXL - I cudnt have sed it better myself.

    Me, I prefer Jay's word-play and double entendre's - he is clever wit it like no-one else.

  • jay-z is nice but i think hes overated...big L,big pun and BIG are all better than jay but on this Jay had the better verses

  • Beat its all about the beat...Pac and Big had a unique gift in that they could put together a Studio band with so much talent it was crazy matched with their God givin talent...Please...

  • hey hey. who sounds better ah?! biggie or gay-z? done there. just because his lyrics might be better sometimes. dont make him a better rapper all together. its hows you say it. the flow you got. the power behind the voice. biggie got feelin with his words. hell make you shit your pants. youd have take a minute to feel gay z lines. yah dig. point blank. biggies the better rapper. dumbfucks.

  • I'm a bigger fan of Jigga than Biggie but Biggie's 1st verse in this song is far better than Jay-Z's

  • Lyrically i got to give it up to Reasonable Doubt over anything BIG made.  But Illmatic is lyrically beyond both of them. And Wu-Tang is forever...

  • Also dont' foeget about my nigga BIG L because he was a beast also.

  • how dare anyone say jay better then big.. r u serious. i mess wit jay, but lyricly, nobody will ever b better then big. cant nobody put phrases 2gether like big. u dudes better wake up. jay could never put a story 2gether like big. u dudes better go listen 2 gotta story 2 tell.. he tell a story so good, u would think u was there. jay is great, but he bite 2 many lines. he came n rapping like he was part of fushickins, then kane. big came n like big and died like big

  • billiestingjean,as much as i love ready 2 die, there isn't a song on that album that can match the lyrical showcase of Politics as usual, Dead Presidents II, Friend or foe, 22 two's... I could really go on. Jay's lyrics on Reasonable doubt were laced with more wit I think.

  • True dat my friend thats a great album i still have it since it came out

  • They both were lyrically on the same level at that time

  • You lied to ur self!!

  • how did I lie to myself

  • that's the chick from MTV i know who that is... home girl was the shizznit.... that's my favorite line

  • I love BIG but there is absolutely no doubt: Jay outshines him on this track.

    "Cats pop bottles, bone chicks that favor Idalis/And rack up frequent flier mileage."

    Most of ya'll prolly don't even remember who Idalis is.

  • jay-z sold more records than puffy ,but biggie was the best selling hip hop artist for 10 years intill 50 cent witch is a nobody compared to big or pac for all that matters. you have to reconize the brillance in the way he drops the lyrics man come on, what are you def his ryhms are incredible his flow flawless .

  • nh it has been back & fourth now... and if LAD was recognised as a fucking double disc album it would have hit 25million in disc sales!

  • one of the best songs evermade.

  • jay is the shit...niggas been hatin on Hov since day one

  • when your guns raisin mine is blazing :)

  • its always a competition for some niggas. even when nobody is playing any games. some niggas cant just sit back and enjoy this music for what it is. Two extremely talented rappers putting it down together and having fun doing it.

  • Jay was the only rapper to ever go line for line, verse for verse with BIG and not get outshined. They both unbelievable.

  • poppy beat? wheres the poppy beat cuz i don't hear it. dumb ass

  • Jay was better in this song and Biggie was better in Brooklyn's Finest.

  • I totally disagree... Jays lines are soo basic... Biggie had soo many punchlines... "Blocka, Rocafella, Bad Boy Callabo, 2 MCs With Mad Dough".... "Say My Name, Make A Nigger Dash Liek Dame"... fuck man dats tooo ILL!

  • Biggie and Jay both made their name and fame more with their sick flows than their lyrical content. if you werent dick riding BIG so hard you could tell its mostly his flow and unique voice that crush the competition. but i think jay and big were both all time greats that made classic material together and were even friends so why try to turn niggas against each other?

  • how is what im saying going to turn "niggas against each other" when big is dead?! fool... hate to burst ya bubbles, biggie maybe the best but Jay Z is not... common look how much lines he stole from big after he died.. isnt that proof enough!

  • nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo u kant hear jay spit" bein broke is a childish thing and im qite grown" "nigga skip the bull cuz we manadors" "snap like cameras on amachers make you all dance hold a hammer to yours"

  • lol... i cant believe im getting thumbs down! put it this way, if you think Jay is Better than BIG in this song or in hip hop in general... than you just dont know nothing about HIP HOP!

    full Stop

  • I know enough about hip hop to know this isn't a battle, just two legends rapping...I also know that no one has ever hung with biggie on a song except jay-z (check the horrible duets crap for proof)...biggie did kill it with the last verse, but you're a hardcore hater if you don't acknowledge jay's P.I.M.P. flows on this.

  • In general Jay-z is better than BIG simple as dat, but Biggie died young and didnt get 2 enhance his flow like Jay-z did so its not a fair comparison, but if u compare Ready To Die/LAD to Reasonable Doubt my opinion is Jay wuz already ahead of him by a little, go back and listen to "can i live" or "d'evils" or either "dead presidents" and tell me Jay wusnt better, Biggie still ill tho

  • Bruv...what youve just said is the biggest CRAP i heard... im gonna say this based on fact NOT opinion...

    Is it not a fact he Jay Z says "Best Rapper Alive"...(hence biiggie n Pac being dead)...

    Isnt it not true.. after reasonable Doubt Jay Z has taken advantage of biggie by reciting his lines in MOST of his HITS (I Just Wanna Love Ya, Girls, Girls, Girls,... Encore) just to name a few..

    Isnt it true Biggie sold more than Jay Z?? I dont remmeber Jay selling 10Mill + albums on one album! END!

  • and im gona hit u back wit FACTS, on "what more can i say" Jay-z says "pound for pound im the best 2 ever come around here excluding NOBODY", and after reasonable he has said biggie lines, but i wuz saying Reasonable Doubt lyrically wuz better than ready 2 die and LAD IMO, not anything Jay put out after, and since when duz sales determine whos a better lyricist? so soulja boy is better than scarface just cuz he sold more?

  • the sales aint the point now.. im talking back then SALES determind who the better was... if they thought ya music sucked, it wouldnt hit platinum.... Lyrically your saying right?... coz i dont remember a song Jay did on reasonable doubt that is better lyrically than Everyday struggle, One More Chance, Big Poppa, Unbelievable, Warning etc... besides what more can i say was waaaay before he hit out with Miss You (remix) n shit where he KNOWS he is not better than Big... yo man got retired by nas!

  • those r not even that hot of lines!!! Just listen to Jays first verse..its crazy

  • "bitches used 2 go ill" lmfao love dat part did anybody notice that at 4:13 biggie randomly says "coochie used 2 stink" lol

  • biggie rips jay-z

  • What? "niggas skip the bull cause we matadors(bullfighters) - snatch the p-89's(guns) that we pack in the drawers(underwear) - then we...clap(shoot) the doors on ya Acurors"(Acuras with Brooklyn accent).

  • Kinda weird how Jay doesn't rap like that anymore ....

    Oh well either way Biggie always was Jay'z sucessor !!!!

  • what u smokin......

  • jay z isnt really on biggies level is what im saying

  • Everyone knows Biggie is better.

    & I'm smoking nothing either !!!

    Actually everyone knows

    BIG, Nas, Eminem >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jay-z

    Ready to Die, Illmatic, Marshall Mathers LP >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Reasonable Doubt

    Anyday any place !

  • fuckinn wit jay z you gon die big time!

  • i smell a fucking hater, go wash up faggot

  • classic shit

  • i love jay but biggie really kills him on this track

  • "speak my name I'll make ya dash like Dame"! only true badboy and rocafella fans would get that line...Fuckin wicked!!

  • ...or anyone who knows who Dame Dash is.

  • I'm from Australia man no one knows who the fuck Dame Dash is..

  • dame dash is the former boss of rocafella call all shots clothin linin all that sumthin like muhfuckin p diddy

  • the 2 best 2gether

  • Wow a lot of rappers use biggies lines from this song on their songs i have heard basically every line from biggies verses on some other songs and even a couple of the ones jay had and noone can say jay-z is sick as biggie all the songs that biggie and jay did jay-z is sick biggie jus is that much sicker and that flow is untouchable i have jay-z top 10 of all time biggie tied at numba 1 with big l but jay-z did rip this song almost as good ALMOST big up to Jay R.I.P Biggie

  • jay-z is da greatest..

    and biggie is mad lyrical..

    da thing i love bout biggie is dat all his muzik kinda soundz up 2 date..

  • so imagine how sick biggie was in his time with his futuristic style...amazing

  • still songs just shows how good biggie was compared to other rappers even Jay-Z

  • When I hear this, I imagine cruising through some part of Atlanta some time in the early evening in one of my Mercedes with one of my chicks sucking on one of my balls while I'm smoking on one of my cigars...

    Instead of being a college kid eating Ramen noodles, beating off every friday night to pictures of whores I couldn't afford to sleep with...

    lol...life sucks.

    :(

  • I'm a college kid driving a fucking escort and I'd bet my life I'll pull hotter bitches than you any day. I'd rather be real and able to handle myself without the facade that money provides. It sucks to have to pay for pussy. Always remember this, those whores you pay for will suck my cock for free when they leave your mansion. Who you think taught them that trick?

  • This song makes me realize that life is a bitch.I feel so sad whenever i hear BIG that dude was lyrically a genius besides he's flow is just so...But anyway Jay-z still run it,holla!

  • Being broke is childish and I'm quite grown...That's real talk. That's how I feel when don't have it. Damn!!!

  • "im popping magnums while jigga bag something" Biggie took a light jab at jay. lol

  • no just explaining their different roles

  • it sounds wierd now but in 96-97 i thought

    jay is the best rapper in new york(yes better then nas and big) he used to be

    such a lyrical monster he was going over alot of cats heads

  • After the dot on the range rover....4.0 to 4.6

  • hot shit

  • Yeah, I LOVE THE DOUGH!!

  • Angela Winbush GOES OFF.....as usual. She sounds so fucking good. unlike the usual up-n-comers they get to sing hooks on rap songs. She's professional. The woman's a legend...

    make no mistake.

  • Haha yesss at 0:32 indeed aghhhhhh

  • Just love it at 0:32

  • that is not a tupac diss. he braggin about the money he has. saying that while you at home watchin the fight, he's actually there. "same nite same fight" meaning its the same nite and we watchin the same fight only difference is, my money allows me to be here, while u gotta watch it on pay per view.

  • best duo treack ever

    btw what does big mean when he say

    "aint shit changed, except the number after the dot on the range" - anything to do with a range rover???

    Biggie best ever

    Jay z best aslive( i dare some1 to say weezy lol)

  • yes it does

  • it means that his money has grown. for example let's say that 4.5 means " four and a half million" then 4.56 means that there's 600 000 dollars more than 4.5 millions (4.5 + 600 000 = 4.56). When he says aint shit changed except the number after the dot on the range, that means he has more number after the dot on his range of money, that range could be millions, hundreds or thousand. Got it ? I just thought how to get some basic money calculation here players. Better hustle like me to know.

  • Where did you learn math? On the yellow bus?

    4.56M = 4,560,000

    4.56M - 600k = 4,560,000 - 600,000 =

    3.96M or 3,960,000

  • I was tired and shit when I wrote that, Anyway , ya get the point of what I was trying to explain. Thks for correcting, but a lil more kindness wouldn't hurt nobody. shit.

  • He's referring to a Ranger Rover. Because of his greater access to currency, he was able to upgrade from a Range Rover 4.0 to a 4.6. The difference being the size of the engine(4.0 = 4.0 Liter; 4.6 = 4.6 Liter).

  • I guess you didnt hear jigga set it straight on In My lifetime vol. 1

    These Imaginary Players buying 4.0's. Clown ass niggas better get your change.

    Whats the difference between a Range Rover 4.0 and a 4.6? About 30-40 grand cocksucker, beat it

  • lol wit his bitch sitn rite next 2 him classic

  • one of the greatest song EVER!

  • Jay-Z is the illiest rapper to date and always has been There is no question

  • pretty much

  • People say Biggie is better than Jay, but in every song they made together Jay out did him.

  • that's your opinion, and thats cool but i just dont see how he outdid Big. take the three tracks they actually did together, Brooklyn's Finest, Young G's, and this one. Jay-Z kills his shit in each, but in Brooklyn's Finest Biggie said "if Faith have had twins she probably have two Pacs" that shut that down right there. in Young G's he said got "got lawyers watchin lawyers, so I don't go broke" just think about how sick that line is.

  • now with this one. he says "now we buy homes in unfamaliar places, Tito smile everytime he see our faces"

    Biggie actually mentioned Tito fuckin Jackson in a song.

    no doubt Jay did his thing, Biggie even said himself that he believed that Jay was just as good as him. but its hard to deny that Biggie could make you laugh, think and be like oh shit all in the same verse

    thats just my opinion though

  • are u stupid biggie and pac had beef there would be no song at that time with them

  • brooklyns finest or i love the dough?

  • I love the dough

  • BK's Finest is classic.

    But lyrically, this song is just incredible. Big's verses, he does it like it's not even hard. And Jay just kills it with the Brooklyn accent. This joint is lyrically better than BK's finest, but BK's Finest will always get the nod in the hip hop world because it's the most known and it was their first collabo.

  • Haha I was thinking the same thing

    I love them both

  • wish 2pac could have been on a remix of dis or nas

  • You cats is home screamin' the fights on. I'm in the 1500 seats watchin Tyson. Same night, same fight, but one of us cats ain't playin' right.

    Jay-Z is ballin', he's at the fight. You're just watchin at home cuz' you couldn't get there (you ain't ballin)

  • Big and Jay are the wittiest rappers in the history of this game.

  • "Makes sense don't it? Now make dollars

    Cats pop bottles bone chicks that pay for hors d'ourves

    And rack up frequent flier mileage"-JAY-Z

  • We hitmakers with acres roll shakers in vegas you cant break us... That verse was crazy. Best flow of all time. R.I.P. Biggie Smalls

  • Biggie Smalls without a doubt. The best that ever did it. All Pac had was All eyez on me. Biggie is a God

  • who do u think is better biggie smalls or tupac???????

  • You gotta be kiddin me... these are the two greatest to ever spit. Respect it. Rappin' about what really matters... the dough.

  • these two are spitting their black asses OFF on this track.....this shit is straight BANANAS!!!

  • jay z was always good till he went mainstream... now its a different story... but i still respect him just dont listen to him... BIG over everyone

  • what does mainstream has to do with his flow the nigga is nice he just trying to get that big money like anybody would do.

  • acutually his flow is minimal... half his hit doesnt rhyme you internet gangsta

  • internet gangsta....ura bitch

  • Never heard Jay Z this good

  • have you heard brooklyn's finest? Or Reasonable Doubt? 1 of the best albums of all time...

  • 90s baby ill like always back when hiphop was still a toddler

  • lol trend into a whiny fake adolesence..

  • best rap song of all time

  • jay and big killed this and both had stellar verses but who was better yall? i would say big i mean jay was bad but he WAS NOT BETTER THAN BIG SORRY ITS THE TRUTH.

  • I love the intro "brooklyn style, uhhhhhhhh!"

  • its a biggie tune and a great 1 at that soo shut tha fuk up about pac nobady wants 2 know about that bitch ass nigguh!!

  • "Ain't shit change, except the number after the dot on the range."

    Love this song. I play it when I'm loving life :-).

    "Everybody got a part to play, back to yours."

    "Play monopoly with real cash."

    "Being broke is childish and I'm quite grown."

    So many quotables on this song...

  • "pop chicks that favor idallis": that was one of the prettiest females host from mtv back then.

    "carribean sands with rachelle": a jamaican bet host very sexy.

    "in the 15 hundred seats watching tyson": means hes ringside..not at home watching.

    just some of the classic lines ever said. funyy these guys said alot using less words unlike nowadays rappers with no vocabulary.

  • all this pac vs biggie shit disgusts me, they both 2 great rappers, pac had deep lyrics, biggie had a deep flow. it ends there, they both great at there art. its all opinion. respect wat they did for hip hop, dont hate on the other cuz u like one better, its just stupid.

  • He was saying he helped killed Pac.

  • rofl

  • Prada be something u cats gotta see!! $350 for shoes and 400 for boots.. i heard this wen i was n middle school and my father went and got me a pair and now I'm a Neiman Marcus junkie... Jay is a trend setter.. trying find those Louvie with red bottom, he said u gotta have them... I was in 8th rocking prada's classmates rockin hush puppies.. back n 98

  • lil spolied lucky ass kid lol (in a goodway)

  • Louvie with red bottoms?? i havent heard of those....but i have heard of Louboutins with the red bottoms, but those are heels!!! lmao...quit lying nigga!!

  • 2 previous rap kingdomz...

    1 west coast

    2 NYC (east coast)

    ...RIP 2 tha 2 kingz who hav passed...2pac and biggie...

  • "Lost chips off Lakers gassed off shaq"

  • 2Pac Is The Best EVER

  • AYO best ever at wat cuz it wasn't rappin cuz BIG was G.O.A.T. nd he'd sodomize 2pac on the mic, real talk 2pac is disgustingly overrated as a rapper

  • yea Tupac was deep and he had a purpose but on some Hip Hop shit..Nobody fuckin with BIG, Nobody

  • Please dont be silly. Big is great, jay-z is great, tupac is the greatest because of consistancy, idolism and realism.. as a freestyler, biggie is unstoppable.. as a song writer/poet pac beats any rapper!.

  • you are so right about tupac being the greatest. mutha fuckas dont give tupac his respect because he didnt live in new york.

  • its all based on opinion, you believe hes the greatest and others feel differently. doesnt matter where he lived. but just to clarify a few things type in MC NEW YORK in wikipedia and see where it takes you

  • Jay-z is mayb Biggie then Jay sorry Pac

  • so I never understood.. Jay Z is throwing subliminals at a dead tupac? "same night, same fight" and he also refers to the tyson fight so was this a jab at Pac? cause I heard before Jay Z was the only rapper to publically diss tupac...

  • Naw, I doubt it, its a song about dough...so jay is just saying Broke niggas was watching the fight from home while Jay was watching it live...No subliminals for Pac

  • He's sayin he was in the fifteen hundred seats (price of the seat). One of us cats aint playin right. He's saying he aint gonna snitch. but he does mention same night same fight. is that night he's referring to Suge Knight ???

  • LOL youre not serious right? But thats a tight display name

  • I thought bout this too...Im thinkin on "two kats aint playin right"...That's Suge (his driver/homie) (and the missing kat!) Biggie knew who it wuz cuz he's dead now, So that leaves Suge & the Cop who sum how got to the scene when he was apparently off duty all dressed in his penguin suit...later to be sentenced in involvment in Biggies case to prison, where he can enjoy prison & a low key lifestyle!

    SR

  • what da fuck u talkin bout nigga
