Lyric/Song: “Bitches in the back looking righteous/In a tight dress/I think I might just/Hit her with a little Biggie 101/How to tote a gun/And have fun with Jamaican rum” “Party and Bullshit”

Reference: This stuff. Jamaica is world-famous for its rums—Myers’s, Appleton Estate, Sangsters, etc. We’re pretty sure, though, that, on his very first single, young Biggie was talking about the white, overproof rum distilled by J. Wray & Nephew—the most ubiquitous kind in Jamaica and in early ’90s Brooklyn.
