There’s something poetic about rappers celebrating their rise from the projects to the penthouse by referencing one of America’s founding fathers. Puffy, Biggie, and the gang possess many little green portraits of Benjamin Franklin—$100 bills, y’all—and on this over-the-top ‘90s rap classic, they show little fiscal restraint. The best line goes to Jadakiss, who rhymes “Cristal” with “three-quarter reptiles.” Dude’s set from his champagne glass down to his exotic kicks.
