The Art of Sampling
The Art of Sampling@Art_of_Sampling·
Nas and Biggie (Notorious B.I.G.). and 1994: ‘Illmatic’ vs. ‘Ready to Die’ Two debut albums drop from two rappers who were destined to become hip hop/rap icons. Neither was a star yet. Both were still struggling. Each bet on a specific approach and formula. Study this clip. It’s one of the most honest and revealing clips of two the most important rappers in the history of hip hop/rap music, right at the junction of one of the most important moments in hip hop/rap history. New York at this time was still grungy, gritty, and raw. I was *outside*, tearing through Brooklyn, Harlem, the Bronx, and Queens. Lots of clubs were poppin’ throughout the city. The Nicks were in the finals… and there was a major battle of rap albums going on: ‘Illmatic’ vs. ‘Ready to Die.’ In this clip, you can catch a hint of it. Two rappers poised for greatness. Two distinct styles. One, more street disciple lyricist; the other a smooth crowd pleaser with witty lyricism. Both albums were instant classics! But the sales battle was won by Biggie. In fact, the lower-than-expected sales of ‘Illmatic’ would be one of the reasons that Nas would aim just slightly more “commercial” on his follow-up, ‘It Was Written.’ (An album many argue is better than ‘Illmatic.’) Still, here, we see time suspended. Two would-be icons fully aware that they were in the heat of the battle for the crown of New York. Each aware that some slice of the crowd favored one over the other. Biggie’s recipe for ‘Ready to Die’: Blend raw, street-witty rap with radio ready production and showmanship. This established a blueprint many rappers still use to this day. By contrast, with ‘Illmatic’, Nas went for the jugular with just straight raw, mega-tier rap and lyricism and an assortment of beats from an A-Team of beat pioneers. In this clip, you see that Nas earnestly wants the crowd. But much of the intricacy and style of what he’s saying is being lost on the crowd, just going over the crowd’s head. But he never folds, rhymes through it. He believes his poetry is deep; he *knows* his poetry is deep. Then Biggie grabs the mic. He’s not earnest. Confidence on 10. Almost like there’s no effort. He *knows* he has the crowd, even if his rhymes aren’t as lyrically deep and potent as the rhyme Nas just basically wasted on half the crowd. He knows that *his rhyme is going to go over better with the crowd. What we see here isn’t just hip hop/rap icons on the cusp of the stardom. We see a battle of forces, a battle of *formulas*. This contrast in this moment revealed something then just as it does today: A mega-tier lyricist like Nas (from the rhyme school of Kool G Rap) can adapt to and flourish over radio friendly/mass appeal production. But a raw and catchy, crowd-pleasure lyricist like Biggie couldn’t quite do what Nas did. But he didn’t need to. Biggie admired Nas’s rhyme talent. Biggie himself would’ve told you, if he was being honest, that his lyricism didn’t possess the upper gears that Nas’s lyricism could reach. But biggie was a better showman. Nas admired Biggie’s presence and mass appeal. He wanted that same appreciation. And after ‘Illmatic’ failed to move more than 500k units when it first dropped, Nas knew he’d have to borrow some of Biggie’s formula if he was ever going to sway the crowd…
