Thanks to its catchy chorus, this song is pure fun to sing along to. Though he also brings up his “so-called beef with you-know-who,” it’s the fact that the tune’s really just a love song to the West Coast that we love it most.Īnd while Biggie may’ve been the King of New York and the East Coast rap scene, he made sure everyone knew he could still “rest in the West” with this track.


Released right after his death, this Grammy-nominated track made history when it became fifth song to top the Billboard Hot 100 following the artist’s death. With a chorus that just won’t quit, “Hypnotize” stays in your ears. While making multiple pop culture references, Biggie also uses his trademark deep, grumbling voice to hypnotize his fans.

Meanwhile, the song’s hip-hop beat zooms in and out, creating a memorable refrain that you can’t resist bobbing your head to.
