Thoughts on "Going Back To Cali" by Biggie Smalls?

I mean it was a risky move at the time, and that's why alot of people hold this track in classic regards, simply because he had the balls to do it.

It might have gotten him killed in the end.

I remember seeing a promo for sale in some record store before it came out and reading the title and buying it b/c I wanted to hear what he had to say.  Like I was kinda shocked that he even had a song with the name Cali in it b/c the whole East/West thing was big at the time.

buying a record without listening to it first b/c you had to hear what that person had to say.  that's hip hop.

Too bad those days are gone now. What with 80% of the albums tracks being leaked ahead of time.

I still go out to record stores all the time to cop new shit.  And I'll buy shit that I haven't heard before.  Those days arent completely gone.

But I understand what you sayin.  Before that was the norm. hip hop wasnt so visible in the mainstream yet and technology wasnt there yet.  you were forced to buy shit if you wanted to be on top of shit.
