The goal of this song was simple, to make the Ten Commandments rappable and fit into a sick Premo beat. I had to print off Biggie's lyrics and write my verse parallel to work it out. Late one night at Bluegrass Studios, my main man Grizz recorded me in one take, rocking this gem that's "Straight out of Yahweh's mouth to your brain!"
I've always been a big fan of the Notorious BIG and DJ Premier. I love the beat and lyricism of Biggie's "10 Crack King Commandments," but the message is absolutely detrimental to our youth. After reading my way through the Old Testament, I recorded this song as a rebuttal to Biggie's version. Mine offers God's best advise out how we can live a better life!
