Before: Hanging pictures of Salt ‘n’ papa & Heavy D on his wall. Smoking weed and bamboo, sipping on private stock Eat sardines for dinner Get dissed by girls Dropped out of high school | After: Girls write letters to him Interviews by the pool Money green leather sofa Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur Phone bill about two G’s flat Celebrating every day Living a life without fear |
Juicy is a song by The Notorious B.I.G., also known as the Biggie Smalls.
What Smalls describes in his song, like he says, “It was all a dream”. It’s his American dream. I think American dream is about fighting hard to get what you want and to be where you want to be, achieve whatever dream you have.
In this song, Smalls describes his life before and after he became famous. Like what I have in the columns, life before he became famous was quite tough. He suffered in poverty when he was born. He sold drugs to make some money to support the family, however it got him into jail. However, he didn’t give up, he began to do this “rapping stuff” and he worked really hard. And it turns out to be the right decision to make. He became famous. Life after he became famous was quite different. He gets to live in this big and fancy house, he gets to have girls chasing him, and he gets phone bill about 2000 dollars but his accountant will handle that for him. He came from a boy in poverty to a famous rapper that owns everything he has ever wanted.
From my perspective, this song shows his American dream that because he works hard enough so he gets to have whatever he wants. At that time, it was even harder for an African-American to live in America, however he overcame all obstacles and began to rap, it surely built a foundation for his success in the future. Later, he kept working hard so then he became really famous. This is what an American dream is like, and this is also the spirit of the American dream: if you fight hard enough for what you want, everything can be possible.
