I totally cosign with that sammySam dude. This is all about Biggie rise and falls since he keeps going back and forth between his rough days and his brand new lavish lifestyle.
Quote someone saying, Biggie referred to 1993 World Trade Center attack with his "Time to get paid blow up like the world trade" punchline but as far as i am concerned he is referring to international trades which went through an agressive expansion from 1980's fall.
Was too young back then but international trades were necessarily all up in the news back in 1994 first months when Biggie wrote his song "juicy" - he reporteadly wrote all "ready to die" radio-friendly song in 1994 - cause of the Marakech agreements and the World Trade Organization project. International trades litterally blown up whereas the World Trade Center suffered a serious attack but wasn't blown out of it.....
This being said how do you guys interpret the end of the hook when those Total girls sing "cause you're the only one, i'll give you good and plenty".
I know they kinda shout out to Mtume's tune but i feel like it doesn't fit to the rest of the hook.
I mean it makes sense on "juicy fruit" cause shorty sings about how special her man his saying "you're the only love/that gives me good and plenty" and - until someone proves me the opposite - it doesn't in Biggie's "Juicy"
Still a great tune though, east coast rap saviour.
