39. The Notorious B.I.G. – “Somebody’s Gotta Die”
Produced By Myrick, Carlos “July Six” Broady, Combs & SRS ~ Album: Life After Death (1997)
Right as B.I.G. returns to the King of New York after surviving a suicide attempt we get treated to a street tale about revenge. Biggie’s perfect lyricism paints the picture better than Scorsese but this is not all glitz and glamour. As most stories Biggie told this one ends in tragedy.
Memorable Lines:
I’m sittin in the crib dreamin’ about Lear jets and coupes
The way Salt shoops and how they sell records like Snoop, (oops!)
I’m interrupted by a doorbell, 3:52, who the hell is this?
I gets up quick, cocks my shit
