King Green: “Eminem outrapped Biggie on Dead Wrong”

During a recent episode of Rap Latte Podcast, rapper King Green briefly talked about Biggie’s “Dead Wrong”, featuring Eminem.

“Who won that song? Eminem. Biggie had great flows, great verse but [rap’s Eminem’s verse]. That’s crazy! That’s one of the greatest things he’s ever done. Biggie saying all these crazy s–t from the hood perspective. But Eminem was like ‘I’m just gonna say the craziest s–t in the world.’ Eminem’s a different level.” said King Green.

“Dead Wrong” is a posthumous Biggie song about r*pe, murder, and pedophilia—perfect for an Eminem feature, which he discussed in his autobiography The Way I Am: “I rapped on a remix of The Notorious B.I.G. song ‘Dead Wrong.’ I remember writing this, literally, in 10 minutes. What Biggie was saying was so up my alley, and the beat was just so crazy. When I get one of those beats, and I get on a subject I know about, it’s just nonstop.”

The original version of “Dead Wrong” was produced by Easy Mo Bee in 1993, possibly around the time he also produced Biggie’s debut single “Party and Bullshit” for the Who’s the Man? soundtrack while he was still recording for Uptown Records. The drums used on this track from Al Green’s “I’m Glad You’re Mine” is the same drum sample used on Biggie’s “I Got a Story to Tell” and “What’s Beef?.”
