The Source (Magazine), 50 Grand, The Notorious B.I.G. - Unsigned Hype lyrics

If you're an aspiring rapper and
You know you have
The flavor and potential to
Make dope records
You don't need to go into the
Studio and spend crazy cash to make
A fly demo you don't
Even need a 4 track just
Two turntables and a microphone
Press record on the tape deck
And you're good to go

B-IG is living proof of this fact
His DJ, Hitman 50 Grand
Threw on a couple classic breaks and
Instrumentals and let B-IG do what
He had to do: He ripped shit straight outta
Brooklyn, New York
The heavy-set brother B-IG has mad skills his
Rhymes are fatter than he is

All four of his jams were
Basically a freestyle exhibition obviously
To come out as an MC takes a lot more than
Hype rhymes, but rhyme skills are the
Main ingredient to true
Success in hip-hop, and when
It comes to those, b-IG's got plenty
