26. "as a non NYer my assesment of him pre RD isn't far fetched" In response to In response to 10 Wed Apr-11-12 12:08 PM by ABROCK33
besides the underground tapes floating around-which most of us outside of NY hadnt heard at the time
Biggies pre R2D output/verses were spotty at best
he was non-descript on his debut "A bunch of niggas"..Jesse West aka 3rd show showed more moxie and personality
The "Real love" rmx was a lil better
His verse on "Buddy X" I dont even remember anyone talking about then or now
then the "Dolly baby" remix I again thought 3rd eye and to a lesser extent Puffy himself stole the show
then "P&b"
from the direction of the post its success (or lack off) seemed very regional
NY Loved it so u say
I dont recall the rest of the word being so enthusiastic about it
..Im not even talking about it being a hit but pre RD, he wasnt settin hip hop on fire at this point outside of NY from an MCing perspective
