Don't forget that this was originally a Biggie line!

[–]herroherro12 66 points67 points ago

"How much of Biggie words gon come out yo fat lips?"

[–]livefreeordont 25 points26 points ago

"Put it together, I rock hoes, y'all rock fellas"

that part took me far too long to understand

[–]ReeG 6 points7 points ago

and now ya'll try to take my spot fellas? feel these hot rocks fellas, put you in a dry spot fellas, in a pine box with nine shots from my glock fellas!

sorry i just love that part

[–]rottenbananapeel -1 points0 points ago

Four albums in ten years nigga? I could divide That's one every let's say two, two of them shits was due One was - NAHHH, the other was "Illmatic" That's a one hot album every ten year average

[–]DopeHov 1 point2 points ago

Nigga, you ain't live it. You witnessed it from your folks' pad. You scribbled it in your notepad and created your life. I showed you your first Tec, on tour with Large Professor, then I heard your album about your Tec on the dresser

"eminem murdered you on your own shit"

[–]rottenbananapeel 2 points3 points ago

Eminem murders everyone on their own shit.

[–]livefreeordont 0 points1 point ago

i havent heard anything good from him for a while now though

[–]eyecite 7 points8 points ago

Rhymes is*, just sayin.

Shit I remember this on Fight Night on the xbox!

[–]TheDrunkkMachine 11 points12 points ago

Victory

[–]gnomesane 2 points3 points ago

That's the one I've heard. Did Jay-Z mention Action Jackson too?

[–]TheKnifeJug 2 points3 points ago

That was during a different song, That's my Bitch I believe. Same line had references to the MoMA.

[–]ahnmin 2 points3 points ago

Kanye uses this line too in "The One". Except he adds in Michael Phelps so... yay for originality...

[–]glowghost 0 points1 point ago

I laughed so hard when Kanye dropped that line. Hip hop is full of people intentionally using old lines.

[–]notdez 7 points8 points ago

Real sick, brawl nights, I perform like Mike Anyone -- Tyson, Jordan, Jackson

vs

Psycho: I'm liable to go Michael, take your pick Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game 6

I wouldn't call that ^ an "orginal Biggie line".

[–]schoonerism 40 points41 points ago

I would.

[–]DopeHov 1 point2 points ago

It's a Biggie idea but the execution, the rhyme, the flow, is Jay's.

[–]blahblahblahdkjdfgj 2 points3 points ago

No one said that it wasn't allowed.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]blahblahblahdkjdfgj 6 points7 points ago

But... Jay-Z fully admits to it (also here)

Rappers take from others rappers all the time. Wait until you discover what most mixtapes consist of, it's gonna blow your mind.

[–]reggie_kush 8 points9 points ago

"I'm not a biter, I'm a writer, for myself and others. I say a B.I.G. verse, I'm only biggin' up my brother, biggin' up my borough. I'm big enough to do it, I'm that thorough, plus I know my own flow is foolish."

[–]bodean55 2 points3 points ago

perfect response.

[–]SeeOtter 1 point2 points ago

Musician have always and will always take things from their predecessors. That's how music works.

[–]therealness 0 points1 point ago

if there are so many of them, then he could have picked three different ones instead of making the exact same comparisons

[–]Workhorse9 -5 points-4 points ago

Not only is it ripping off Biggies line, it's such a shit line and rhyme.

[–]dead_prez -3 points-2 points ago

I can't stand that line for this exact reason. It's not even him paying homage it;s just a blatant bite.

[–]wavey54 22 points23 points ago

Didn't this JUST get posted like a day ago? I SWEAR I saw it yesterday.

Edit: mhmmmmmmmm

[–]brainytumor[S] 20 points21 points ago

seriously? damn i'm sorry if that's true. i check hhh like at least once a day and didn't see it, got this off some tumblr ... karmadecay didn't catch anything either. sorry anyway.

[–]dubnine 9 points10 points ago

Yeah, it was here yesterday. I posted it to my facebook with this exact title, ha. But you know, not everyone sees everything the first time it's posted.

[–]wavey54 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I can't find it either. So I'm confused.

[–]sperdoj[M] 2 points3 points ago

I removed it

[–]2WAR 3 points4 points ago

Why did you do that?

[–]sperdoj[M] 5 points6 points ago

Well, I would remove this without hesitation, and I figured this was similar. It's a literal interpretation of a line that's over a year old. I didn't think that it was the type of picture that we should be striving for around here. It's half a step above a meme in my books.

That's what happens when we have posting guidelines that are open to interpretation. Unfortunately it's difficult to predict every type of picture that could pop up and create a rule around it. Just doing my best to maintain what I perceive to be a high quality subreddit.

[–]wavey54 4 points5 points ago

Cool. I respect that.

[–]sperdoj 2 points3 points ago

Appreciate that.

[–]cantCme 0 points1 point ago

Linking to funnyjunk doesn't work.

[–]sperdoj[M] 1 point2 points ago

Do you mean it doesn't show up or it doesn't allow you to post? If it doesn't show up, it's in the spam filter. If it doesn't allow you to post, I'm guessing that's an admin decision. I have no power to ban websites like that.

[–]cantCme 0 points1 point ago

No, I mean you can't directly link to an image on that site. You (or at least I) get the homepage.

[–]sperdoj 0 points1 point ago

Hm...my gf tried to link something to me from there on facebook and it did the same shit so maybe it's a problem with their site or something? I have no idea.

[–]brainytumor[S] 1 point2 points ago

You were probably right too, but I dunno, I got a laugh out of it. This probably comes off as hypocritical, but I wouldn't mind a slightly higher standard of posts and discussions around here either. I really appreciate your time spent trying to upholding standards here, and feel very free to delete this post. I think it's just that listening to every song that gets posted takes time and is usually impossible at work, whereas a picture is just a quick click. And I really appreciate the absence of memes on hhh.

[–]sperdoj 0 points1 point ago

I don't see much hypocrisy there...just....things I agree with.

[–]brainytumor[S] 0 points1 point ago

well I do feel kinda bad for posting this, especially since it was on here before (though I really didn't see it)

[–]sperdoj 1 point2 points ago

Dude, don't feel bad. You didn't see the other one because I removed it, making it unsearchable.

[–]notsurewhatiam 1 point2 points ago

Hey man at least you're honest, other reposters could give a shit if it's a repost or not.

Karma's a hell of a drug.

[–]stupifyII 4 points5 points ago

It was one of the top post yesterday and now I can't find it.

[–]dhaft88 2 points3 points ago

I can't find it either, what the f

[–]stupifyII 0 points1 point ago

Didn't chancers post it?

[–]dhaft88 0 points1 point ago

I didn't even see it I was busier yesterday

[–]sperdoj 0 points1 point ago

I removed it.

[–]dhaft88 0 points1 point ago

I don't care if this goes or stays, but I giggled :P

[–]sperdoj 0 points1 point ago

Leave it then.

[–]Gnarwhalrus 2 points3 points ago

Why's this one still around?

[–]aznegglover 0 points1 point ago

on a sub that i moderate we have a policy to just leave posts up if they have a ridiculous amount of upvotes, even if they break the rules

maybe same thing here idk

[–]Gnarwhalrus 0 points1 point ago

Yeah I saw him comment elsewhere basically saying it was against the rules and a mod might remove it but he wasn't gonna be the one to do it.

[–]aznegglover 0 points1 point ago

[–]wavey54 0 points1 point ago

thanks.

[–]bigburd 0 points1 point ago

it's not a big deal either way.

[–]scumbaggrandparent 9 points10 points ago

someone do biggie for this one. After all, he was the first plus it was one of his best verses

[–]moosepac 8 points9 points ago

Wtf?! I posted this yesterday.... where did it go?

[–]sperdoj 11 points12 points ago

I removed it. Doesn't really seem like te type of pic that I'd like to see on this sub, but I guess I'm alone in that.

[–]creiss74 8 points9 points ago

I think you're in the right exercising long held rules about this kind of stuff. Number of up votes be damned!

[–]sperdoj 5 points6 points ago

Appreciate that man. Going to let someone else pull the trigger on this one if they want to though.

[–]2WAR 5 points6 points ago

Remove it again

[–]drawmeasheep 1 point2 points ago

Ban this shit. Don't wanna see those stupidass "Look at this picture I took with X rapper" posts either. You guys know what happens when you let images take over a subreddit. As HHH gets bigger, you guys are going to have to hold the line more firmly.

[–]IMAROBOTLOL 0 points1 point ago

So why the hell is this one still up?

[–]brainytumor[S] 1 point2 points ago

If I could give you all the karma from this submission, I would. Really didn't see it though. Going to upvote some random stuff from you anyway

[–]moosepac 6 points7 points ago

Thanks man, but you don't need to d o that. Its chill. I was just curious why post got taken down. Idgaf about karma

[–]NIGGAS_IN_PARIS 7 points8 points ago

Ball So Hard

[–]MetsaFirez 5 points6 points ago

Someone do this for Kanye: Jackson Tyson Jordan, Michael Phelps... the phelps one is for sure going to look unphotoshopped... tiny chubby kanye in huge ripped phelps body.

[–]aceoftrachs 4 points5 points ago

The Z in Jay Z's name stands for Zoloft.

[–]WolfHaleyGolfWang 3 points4 points ago

How... What?

[–]bigburd 1 point2 points ago

Seconded. He best explain himself

[–]oh_contraire 0 points1 point ago

what about Action?

[–]harriswill 2 points3 points ago

"We're gonna skate to 11 songs, 11 songs only"

[–]bigburd -1 points0 points ago

They would.

I love it.

[–]DudeMG 0 points1 point ago

I would totally buy a poster of this.

[–]milkmanjz3 1 point2 points ago

Those lips on Jordan are wild

[–]SeeOtter 1 point2 points ago

MMG already picked Tyson.

[–]EggzOverEazy -1 points0 points ago

i......... love this.

Fucking shit tier rapper

[–]goldenboy2191 -1 points0 points ago

Honest to God was listening to this song when I came across this. I'm a fucking witch.

[–]bogbowls11 -1 points0 points ago

I saw this on facebook before reddit. I'm done with reddit.

[–]StayDilated -1 points0 points ago

unsubscribed...you guys are a bunch of cock riders.

[–]HurricaneHugo 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of Papoose's Hail Mary

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKl-hLYvd8I&feature=player_detailpage#t=4s

"I spit hard like Mike Tyson when he striked

true champion like Michael Jordan I'm precise

take shots like Michael Bibby do all night

badder than Michael Jackson before he fucked up his life

analyze the comparisons and all of the likes

tell the facts like Michael Strong always right

I've got the characteristics of 5 elite Mikes

So it's impossible for me to get 3 mics. "

[–]KirbyFTW -1 points0 points ago

That shit cray

Tyson is making me seriously uncomfortable.
