The World Is Filled - B.I.G.

        The Notorious B.I.G. A true MC. As I am sure I will get to my personal views of him in some other post, I would like to get to that some other time. As this is absolutely a favorite song of mine! Let's see why right now!
        The 1st time I heard it, it must've been on Pandora Radio. Right from the beginning I was caught. The exploration of music will always lead you to some unexplainable feeling on occasion. Such is the case here my friends. The beat just grabs me, wouldn't let me go, and made sure I was paying attention to appreciate every little bit it had to offer. Perhaps I can describe this feeling. Have ever had a song that just stops you? Exactly what this was. New material, that just appeared on Pandora, and blew me away.
        So what exactly is the beat like? Well the feel of it is indescribably incredible. But what I can describe to you is why it always leaves me feeling good. The beat itself is pretty simple. Makes it easy to just ride with the beat, which I find with a lot of old school rap. The bass line is absolutely incredible! Also the beautiful vocals from Carl Thomas only top this production off. I find his addition to the song runs parallel to Tony Williams vocals on We Major. Both carry the chorus strong by themselves with no other singers. Which really lets you admire their singing. The beat itself could not be felt the same without the lyrics.
        I wanna keep this post short so I shall say this! Everyone absolutely destroys this song, having a lava hot flow. This may sound ridiculous but Puff Daddy's verse is my favorite. Not that I credit him for anything, except a chill voice that goes perfect with this beat. Now I imagine B.I.G. wrote his verse, but there is nothing that actually credits him to that. Despite the fact he probably didn't write his verse, it was just so laid back, and I love rapping right along with that verse every time. As for Biggie's verse, what can you expect? Straight fire, with hot lines throughout. Although the editing to his voice sort of turns me away, still great however. So that leaves Too Short's verse, which he puts a lot of emotion into the words than any other rapper on this track. Plus his rant at the end is quite humorous and I always find it interesting. The whole song is basically a pop and gansta rap style. You'll find the lyrics contain a lot of boasting, but keeping on subject with pimps & hoes. Which really helps chill you out, imagining a wealthy life with no worries, obviously erasing all the stress. The Too Short rant really ties together the song at the end, putting the words straight-forward. Definitely a track I recommend to chill out.

In fact, one of my favorites to blare from the speakers, when I'm home alone lying down on the couch, watching the world outside the window, as I reflect on the day's work accomplished. When I can only dream on what lies ahead...
