Biggie Smalls “Big Poppa” (Bad Boy Records)

“I love it when you call me Big Poppa…”

With that opening line, The Notohttps://blackknowledgewear.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/handsome-male-model-in-stylish-autumn-outfit-looki-2023-11-27-05-19-32-utc_Easy-Resize.com_.jpgus B.I.G. carved out his lane as the king of cool. “Big Poppa” dropped in 1994 as the second single from his debut album Ready to Die, and it instantly became a staple of ’90s hip hop. Produced by Chucky Thompson and Sean “Puffy” Combs, the track samples the Isley Brothers’ “Between the Sheets” — turning a smooth soul groove into a laid-back anthem about swagger, style, and success.

Released on Bad Boy Records, the 12-inch vinyl featured the iconic label that symbolized a shift in hip hop culture — a new sound led by Biggie’s commanding voice and storytelling finesse. The single earned a Grammy nomination and certified Biggie as more than a street poet — he was a crossover star.
