G.O.A.T DEBATE # 1 : THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G

Mixtape Assembly

To be top 3, or not to be, that is the question... Let the great G.O.A.T rapper debate begin! We're kicking off this new series critiquing The Notorious B.I.G's credentials - could he be the best to ever to it? Had to get Suspence on hosting duties for this one; regular listeners will remember how much Biggie means to him from his appearance on the first series of Mixtape Assembly, and this episode was another heated and emotional affair. For real though. We Zoomed in to explore Christopher Wallace's legacy, with a number of hip-hop heads dropping us their favourite Biggie lyrics along the way, including Jimothy, Mongo (Mud Family) and Janai. A lot of things get covered, and most of them are rugged. We talk about Biggie's capacity to hold whole verses in his head, his unrivalled use of humour, as well as some of his most offensive lyrics, including the infamous 'Gutter' lines from What's Beef? Oh dear. If you're easily offended, this might not be the best episode for you - hold tight for our next G.O.A.T debate, on Lauryn Hill, coming soon...
