The hook works well on this track and as usual Biggie's flow and rhyme schemes make for a sonically enjoyable listen as well as a technically enjoyable listen. 'One More Chance' has a more hard hitting style with a deep guitar base as Biggie talks about his sex life and big penis with some funny punchlines, " I get swift with the lyrical gift // Hit you with a dick, make your kidney shift". The beat on 'Gimme the Loot' is also great, and is a perfect example of why the simplicity of the beats on this album work, because the drum patterns used are just so catchy. It starts quite intense, before turning joyous after his birth - this sets the mood perfectly and is one of the best intro tracks ever. There's also some nice samples scattered about, starting with the first track 'Intro', which tells a story of Biggie's life up until this point, using classic hip-hop samples (such as ' Rapper’s Delight ' by Sugarhill Gang) and soul samples in the process to establish what era of time the story takes place in. The album is cemented with boom-bap production, catchy drum patters and a laid back feel for the majority of the album. For 1994, the production on this album is outstanding and it still sounds great 26 years later.
