song creeps all over the place it’s also
one of hip-hop’s best diss tracks as Big
E throws jabs at a slew of rappers

that he was king of New York a title
biggie wasn’t about to give up he spits
warning
it’s thanks to an Isaac Hayes cover of
walk on by that warning has it’s cool
laid-back and retro vibe but big is able
to bring the song back to the present by
the way his voice fades in and out to

struggles of the streets ten crack
commandments this song immediately hooks
you in with the old-school scratching
