There is no official upload of this song by either Eminem or Biggie (and you’d think two legendary rappers, especially a track with late Biggie and early Em, would be talked about and in demand, but most aren’t even aware this track exists). “Hip-hop historians” have never even discussed it.

It’s also hard to find on the internet, with maybe only two findable uploads on YouTube. If you never heard the song title or of the song (which most people haven’t), you would never come across this song on the internet.

Edit: just so those who may read and listen know, biggies verses are largely full of metaphors about the music industry and it’s attitude, using one hit 80s new wave bands no one knows about (let alone someone who grew up in the ghetto) like “the vapors” or early 80’s hip-hop groups and others, to get the message across.

The second verse, especially towards the end says everything. Em’s verse is very straightforward imho lol.
