The Notorious B.I.G - Greatest Hits

A week before meeting his untimely death, the American rapper Notorious B.I.G released "Hypnotize" from his album Life After Death on March 1, 1997.

The track reached number one trampling Puff Daddy’s song "Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down" after his passing away and maintained that spot for weeks, before being replaced by Hanson’s "MMMBop" on May 24.

The track has since been referenced in various pop cultures including fashion lines, clothing, television shows and films like the Star Wars, Starsky & Hutch, Roots, King of New York, Ritchie Rich (comic and cartoon character), Underoos (children’s clothing), and finally the Versace, DKNY, Moschino and Coogi (popular fashion lines).

In 2009, the track served as a theme song on the motion picture Notorious while the Fox show The Mick had the song sang briefly by the character Sofia Black-D’Ella.

2017 has been a great year for the track as it was used commercially for Oreo Thins and promoted the Baywatch movie.

On being released, the track became number two on the Billboard but it was already a hit song in the United States radio even before being issued as a single.

Notorious made history in the Hot 100 by becoming the fifth artists on top of the chart after his track hit number one after his death.

Having scored a nomination for the Best Rap Solo Performance at the 1998 Grammy Awards, the track lost to Will Smith’s Men in Black.

However, Kris Ex of Pitchfork praised Biggie with his natural talent to sound powerful and sing to the rhythm and according to 50 Cent via NME, he would want the song to be played at his funeral.

It's video was filmed a mot=nth after his death in LA, California and was directed by Paul Hunter.

Puff Daddy and B.I.G appear to showcase a lavish lifestyle of partying with supermodels but later interrupted by helicopters and motorbikes chasing them. A minimum of over 500,000 copies has been sold throughout the US and UK so far.

Release Date - March� 1,� 1997

Album - Life After Death

Uh, uh, uh, c'mon

Hah, sicka than your average

Poppa twist cabbage off instinct

niggas don't think shit stink, pink gators,

my Detroit players

Timbs for my hooligans in Brooklyn

Dead right, if the head right, Biggie there ery'night

Poppa been smooth since days of Underroos

Never lose, never choose to, bruise crews who

Do something to us, talk go through us

Girls walk to us, wanna do us, screw us

Who us? Yeah, Poppa and Puff (hehehe)

Close like Starsky and Hutch, stick the clutch

Dare I squeeze three at your cherry M-3 (Take that, take that, take that, haha!)

Bang every MC easily, busily

Recently niggas frontin ain't sayin' nuttin' (nope) so I just

Speak my piece, (c'mon) keep my piece

Cubans with the Jesus piece (thank you God), with my peeps

Packin', askin' who want it, you got it nigga flaunt it

That Brooklyn bullshit, we on it

Biggie Biggie Biggie can't you see

Sometimes your words just hypnotize me

And I just love your flashy ways

Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (uh)

Biggie Biggie Biggie (uh-huh) can't you see (uh)

Sometimes your words just hypnotize me (hypnotize)

And I just love your flashy ways (uh-huh)

Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (uh)

I put hoes in NY onto DKNY (uh-huh)

Miami, D.C. prefer Versace (that's right)

All Philly hoes, dough and Moschino (c'mon)

Every cutie wit a booty bought a Coogi (hah!)

Now who's the real dookie, meanin' who's really the shit

Them niggas ride dicks, Frank White push the sticks

On the Lexus, LX, four and a half

Bulletproof glass tints if I want some ass

Gon' blast squeeze first ask questions last

That's how most of these so-called gangsters pass

At last, a nigga rappin' bout blunts and broads

Tits and bras, menage-a-tois, sex in expensive cars

I still leave you on the pavement

Condo paid for, no car payment

At my arraignment, note for the plantiff

Your daughter's tied up in a Brooklyn basement (shhh)

Face it, not guilty, that's how I stay filthy (not guilty)

Richer than Richie, till you niggas come and get me

Biggie Biggie Biggie can't you see

Sometimes your words just hypnotize me

And I just love your flashy ways

Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (uh)

Biggie Biggie Biggie (uh-huh) can't you see (uh)

Sometimes your words just hypnotize me (hypnotize)

And I just love your flashy ways (uh-huh)

Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (uh)

I can fill ya wit' real millionaire shit (I can fill ya)

Escargot, my car go, one sixty, swiftly

Wreck it buy a new one

Your crew run run run, your crew run run

I know you sick of this, name brand nigga wit'

Flows girls say he's sweet like licorice

So get with this nigga, it's easy

Girlfriend here's a pen, call me round ten

Come through, have sex on rugs that's Persian (that's right)

Come up to your job, hit you while you workin' (uh) for certain,

Poppa freakin', not speakin'

Leave that ass leakin, like rapper demo

Tell them hoe, take they clothes off slowly

Hit 'em wit' the force like Obe, dick black like Toby (Obe, Toby)

Watch me roam like Gobe, lucky they don't owe me

Where the safe show me, homey (say what, homey)

Biggie Biggie Biggie can't you see

Sometimes your words just hypnotize me

And I just love your flashy ways

Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (uh)

Biggie Biggie Biggie (uh-huh) can't you see (uh)

Sometimes your words just hypnotize me (hypnotize)

And I just love your flashy ways (uh-huh)

Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (uh)

Biggie Biggie Biggie can't you see

Sometimes your words just hypnotize me

And I just love your flashy ways

Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (uh)

Biggie Biggie Biggie (uh-huh) can't you see (uh)

Sometimes your words just hypnotize me (hypnotize)

And I just love your flashy ways (uh-huh)

Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid (uh)

Biggie Biggie Biggie can't you see

Sometimes your words just hypnotize me

And I just love your flashy ways

Guess that's why they broke, and you're so paid
