I Think The Song Was Not About Being Lyrical Or Even Quoting Lines.. It Was About The Emotion Behind it... The Realism Expressed From Nothing To SomeThing.. Hence Ashy To Classy... Had Every Broke Nigga Out There Struggling To Live..Struggling to Live With A Dream... Wanna Quote Some One Quote Some One That Had Some Form Of Play In His Words... Wanna Quote This Song.. Quote The Whole Song.. Hooks And Adlibs n All...

This is an excerpt from our site about why we feel "He came out wit the phrase, he went from ashy to classy"

We like this lyric because its inspirational and innovative, we all know "BIG" flowed off the dome or the top of his head or for you not familiar with the slang he did not write down any lyrics - he did not need to. He is introducing himself on the stage and just talking how he hustled hard and made it into the lifestyle he was living then. We initially were looking for articles talking about people of colors paranoia with being ashy but we have not found anything yet, so here is an article on skin care for the melanin enhanced. http://www.treasuredlocks.com/ (Remember "BIG" said he had locks in one of his songs?) http://www.blackskincare411.com/ (a nice skin care site)
The second part of our dissection of this lyric is the "ashy" part, what the hell is ashy? What makes it so wrong? Some would say africans preoccupation with have oiled skin is a form of self hatred for their skin as it is - Others say we used aloe a long time ago for protection from the sun in africa - but if you are not in africa why do you need it? Here are some articles on the topic of self hatred:

Biggie is waaaay overrated.

[Lyrical Surgeon]

Everyone has a different opinion nothing wrong with that. We interpret one way you interpret another, we have been busy so we have not had a chance to truly respond.

Its like this, if you do not delve into why certain things are spoken you will never truly know. If you are not from the culture or have never been subjected to the hatred others have for themselves thus you. You will never truly know.

You have got to remember that a person's lyrics are their thoughts which in essence are their being. For Example:

"Only make moves when ya heart's in it"

Anybody who has ever been successful has done what is in their heart. Why were they successful because they believed in what they were doing it was about more than money. BIG dropped knowledge you have to first respect BIG and second listen closely enough to hear the positive - it is there. No one is perfect, including you (collective you not anyone in particular) Look at DMX, if you have ever been to one of his concerts you know he gives his all. He is a tortured soul but he truly loves his craft. It rescued him from living a life of crime even though life dealt him a bad hand somewhat. Matter of fact we might dissect "slippin" because that is a real a$$ song almost everyone can relate to that. He rhymes from the heart not the pocket (vis a vis the wallet)
