i mean, i generally prefer wu to biggie but still think that "juicy" is better than any wu-tang song or maybe all but a small handful of rap songs ever

spottieottie is amazing classic untouchable & way better than like choosing 'rosa parks'
ILX's coolness toward "Rosa Parks" is so disappointing.

"rosa parks" is great but a way more boring (and somewhat inferior) choice
― The Reverend, Friday, 10 September 2010 11:42 (fourteen years ago) link
Inferior as a choice maybe, not inferior as a song imo.

isn't it a sample/interpolation from some funk song? you could always listen to that instead

Precisely the reason "Enjoy the Silence" is the right answer here.

i mean, i personally like "warning" and "hypnotize" and "dead wrong" more than "juicy" but you'd have to be pretty daft to think any of those are actually "better songs"

in terms of "entire house parties will stop whatever theyre doing and start rapping along" power there are very few songs that can beat juicy--big poppa and california love maybe

i think the only genuine contenders on this list for "artist's best song" are the pavement, bjork and dj shadow tracks. but i don't really care much about dj shadow and couldn't really be bothered championing pavement at the moment, so on that logic might have voted bjork.

Agree with Bjork and Shadow, disagree with Pavement.
I'd also submit for consideration of "best song" status: Wu-Tang, MBV, Aaliyah (this just won the Aaliyah singles poll on ILM ffs!) and Aphex Twin -- tough to say what's "best" for any of these guys, but their tunes in this poll are waaaayy up there.

to me "Juicy" is by far the best Biggie pop jam and I applaud any list that has it and not "Hypnotize"

"juicy" is 100% biggie's biggest pop jam. it's a standard of popular culture.
re: björk, i don't see how anyone can rep for "hyperballad" as the standout from her discography...
björk songs from the '90s that are way way way better than "hyperballad": human behaviour, come to me, aeroplane, play dead, big time sensuality, one day, enjoy, isobel, the modern things, bachelorette, jóga, pluto, hunter, unravel, all is full of love, my snare, sod off

and the brodsky quartet version of "hyperballad" >>>>>> the original, which due to its sequencing on post mostly strikes me as a warm-up for the superior "the modern things"

OK, at the risk of exposing myself as hopelessly out of touch, the first time I'd ever heard "Juicy" was on that Girl Talk track. Whereas I'd heard "Hypnotize" and "Mo' Money Mo' Problems" numerous times before that, and I even have a memory of kids in high school quoting "Big Poppa."
― jaymc, Friday, 10 September 2010 20:39 (fourteen years ago) link
Wondered if this was a US/UK thing, but "Juicy" peaked at #72 on the UK chart and #27 in the U.S.

the LIfe After Death hits and "Big Poppa" definitely were bigger crossover hits than "Juicy," I don't think it's his biggest hit just his best
― some dude, Friday, 10 September 2010 20:47 (fourteen years ago) link
not sure about "at the time," but juicy is one of literally two pre-2010 songs the local hip-hop station plays constantly. so some revisionism possibly at work.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 10 September 2010 22:10 (fourteen years ago) link
I can barely stand "Hypnotize" now. "Juicy" never gets old, even when I've embarrassed myself doing it at karaoke.

Love 'em both (Juicy and Hypnotize). I'd like to pitch "#!*@ You Tonight" or "Playa Hata" as Biggie's best non-pop jams.
