As his lyrics progress, Biggie continuously emphasizes the pinnacle of life that he has reached. Additionally, “Juicy” includes more abstract juxtapositions of his “negative” and new “positive” life such as, “I made the change from a common thief/ To up close and personal with Robin Leach,” and “Thinkin’ back on my one-room shack/ Now my mom pimps a Ac’ with minks on her back.” Through both lines, Notorious paints his old life, then contrasts it to his modern life by mentioning celebrities, television series, and products equated with luxury.įrom declaring “Now I’m in the limelight,” “Now honies play me close,” and “I went from negative to positive,” Notorious explicitly describes the immense change that he has undergone from shadow to light, sexually unattractive to magnetic, in debt to financially stable. In addition to the three verse structure in which Biggy recounts his comic rise, “Juicy” is comprised of a refrain. This chorus, sung by female rap group Total, successfully functions to disrupt the specificity of Notorious’ narration, create an intimate bond with the listener, and ultimately deliver the songs desired message.
