Admirer: Tyra Banks
Admirer: "One More Chance" remix, first verse
"First things first: I, Poppa, freak all the honeys/ Dummies, Playboy bunnies, those wantin' money/ Those [are] the ones I like, 'cause they don't get Nathan ... Heartthrob never, black and ugly as ever/ However, I stay Coogi down to the socks/ Rings and watch filled with rocks/ And my jam knocks in your Mitsubishi/ Girls pee pee when they see me/ Navajos creep me in they teepee/ As I lay down laws like Allen Carpet/ Stop it, if you think they gonna make a profit/ Don't see my ones, don't see my guns — get it/ Now tell ya friends Poppa hit it then split it/ In two, as I flow with the Junior M.A.F.I.A./ I don't know what the hell's stoppin' ya/ I'm clockin' ya, Versace shades watchin' ya ..."
Where to find it: Any Best of Big mixtape
Why: "Let me tell you what I used to chant on the treadmill, when I was so tired and needed inspiration to keep going: 'First things first: I, Poppa, freak all the honeys ...' " Banks said. "The whole thing would get me through to the end of the treadmill when I felt I couldn't do it anymore. In terms of music and MCs, first of all, it's the voice [that attracts me]. Before you hear a lyric, you hear the tone of the voice. [Big's] was so powerful, coming from such a strong place. And, of course, the lyrics. He was beautiful."
