“Kick In the Door” by the Notorious B.I.G.
Target: Nas and Raekwon
Nas: “Your reign on the top was short like leprechauns/As I crush so-called Willies, thugs and rapper dons…”
Raekwon: “F–k that — why try?/Throw bleach in ya eye…”
On the aforementioned … Cuban Linx album, Rae and Ghost criticized an unnamed artist for “biting the Nas album cover.” Back in 1994, Biggie’s Ready To Die featured an infant on the cover and was released about six months after Nas’ Illmatic — which featured his baby picture. Add that to the fact that Nas was a guest star on Rae’s album. Biggie decided to subliminally go at both emcees; referencing Rae’s “bleach” line and mocking the fact that B.I.G. had come along and snatched the NYC crown only six months after Nas debuted.
