[歌词解析]Jadakiss - Letter to B.I.G.
Biggie的传记电影《Notorious》即将上映，其原声带已经先行曝光。其中Jadakiss的这首作品引起了广泛的关注。歌曲中，Kiss以书信的形式把许多后来发生的事介绍给Biggie。不过老实说，听完这个歌我更多的是失望。原以为Kiss注重的会是饶舌界后来的发展，结果呢？Jadakiss却花了许多笔墨来写自己，更强调了自己和Biggie的好关系。当然，借机宣传自己还是必要的，但歌词内容的明显主次不分让歌曲质量大大下降。尽管如此，还是有许多歌迷想看看Jadakiss到底想对Biggie说些什么

And with the right mechanics, I could take over be clear of this
