The Ten Crack Commandments

Posted By admin On 31.05.20

In “Ten Crack Commandments,” Biggie presents himself as the Moses of the drug game, juxtaposing the force of God with the dark forces of capitalism, much like Jay Z’s “D'Evils” As in “D'Evils,” the ruthless street religion is stronger than Christianity.

Many believe B.I.G drew inspiration for this song from the July 1994 issue of The Source magazine. It’s the same copy his mom was reading in the “Juicy” video. Their list read:

Notorious B.I.G.' S Ten Crack Commandments in plain English 1) Don't let anyone know how much money you have. It'll make people jealous and want to steal it from you. 2) Don't let anyone know what you're doing next. People will use this knowledge to rob you and hurt you. 3) Don't trust anyone. Even your mother would betray you for the money that'll be in it. Jul 23, 2011  Category Music; Song Ten Crack Commandments (Amended, 2014 Remastered Version) Artist The Notorious B.I.G.

This song was originally made as a demo for Angie Martinez’s radio show on Hot 97. Producer DJ Premier told The Combat Jack Show in 2013:

The track was actually a promo that me and Jeru did for Angie Martinez on Hot 97. Back then she did a show called the “Hot 5 at 9″ where she would play the top 5 records at 9 o’clock. If you listen to the scratches, before I added “ten” later on when Biggie got it, I just keep going to five right after the beat drops because it was for the top 5 at 9.

Biggie Smalls The Ten Crack Commandments

Puffy was guest hosting the show and when he heard the promo he was like “what the hell, who did this?” and Angie told him I did it. So he goes live on the radio like “yo Premier, if you’re out there, call me.” One of my homeboys paged me and told me that Puffy was on the radio telling me to call him. I turn on Hot 97 and right before I was about to turn the dial off, I hear “Premier, Premier, please call me if you hear me on the radio.” He told me he wanted to buy the promo.

Lyrics To The Ten Crack Commandments

I told Jeru and he was like “yo, it’s hip hop. No big deal.” So I sold it to him and Biggie already had a concept, he wanted to call it “Ten Crack Commandments.” I took the “Ten” from a spaceship count down when they go “ten, nine, eight, seven…” And Biggie just rapped over it right there.'

Ten Crack Commandments is a song by American rapper The Notorious B.I.G. on disc two of his final studio album, ‘’Life After Death’’. It was written by B.I.G. (credited under his legal name, Christopher Wallace) along with Christopher Martin who also produced the song under his stage name DJ Premier. Complex (magazine) rated the song #1 song about selling drugs. In March 2017, Faith Evans released the single ‘’The Ten Wife Commandments’’ as the fourth single from her duet album with the rapper, The King & I. Lin-Manuel Miranda paid homage with the song ‘’Ten Duel Commandments’’ in his hit musical Hamilton. The Swedish underground hip-hop group The Keffat Liv paid homage with the song ‘’10 Barn Commandments’’ from their album ‘’Vassego o skölj’’.

Commandments

Background[edit]

The song is a step-by-step guide to achieving success as a drug-dealer. Biggie, purportedly, was inspired by an article in the hip-hop magazine The Source. The July 1994 article, entitled “On the Rocks: From 1984 to 1994, Ten Years of Crack”. The article included a sidebar, “A Crack Dealer’s Ten Crack Commandments” that outlines ten critical rules to help dealers survive and thrive in the drug business.

The crack epidemic the early 1980s and the early 1990s was the flood of crack cocaine usage in urban communities across the United States. Beginning around the same time as Hip hop music became the sound of these same urban areas, the manifestations of the crack epidemic became a key theme in Hip hop music.

The relationship between drugs and Hip hop music can be mapped onto the politics of drug use in urban communities during the epidemic. A lack of economic opportunity forced urbanites to turn to selling drugs and other illicit forms of employment to make ends meet and provide for their families. The War on Drugs sought to quell the incredible impact that drugs had on the United States and the increase in violent crime nationwide.

These two factors encouraged both The Source and rappers to discuss drug-dealing in the way that promoted physical and fiscal security without discouraging dealers, who had no other means of income, to stop selling drugs. Still, however, the drug influenced lyrical content of Hip hop music has encouraged a longstanding debate about the illicit content of the musical genre.

What Do The Ten Crack Commandments Mean

Composition[edit]

‘’Ten Crack Commandments’’ does not follow the typical constructs of a Hip hop or popular song. It contains no chorus and completely abandons the 16 bars construction of a rap verse. Instead, the song presents the lyrics in a list and offers a short, witty explanation of each. Bracketing this list are an intro and outro of sorts that, to start, outlines Big’s credentials for sharing this list and, to end, explores what might happen if the listener does not abide by these rules.
