Benny The Butcher Shows Respect To Late Notorious B.I.G On “10 More Commandments”

'Tana Talk 4' features "Ten More Commandments."

Benny The Butcher shows his respect to the late Notorious B.I.G. on “10 More Commandments” from the “Tana Talk 4” album released Friday (March 11). New York natives who rose from concrete.

However, Biggie’s original commandments are the divine rules of the streets. Benny’s new song continues B.I.G.’s “Ten Crack Commandments” released in 1997 on the “Life After Death” album.

Benny Gets The Stamp of Approval

The Griselda Representative explains his experience creating the song. But then, he touches base on a few commandments which apply today. In addition, he prioritizes getting a blessing for the record from the likes of DJ Premier and rap mogul Diddy, who came up with Biggie.

“How [Biggie] did one through ten, I went from 11 to 20. I covered the things that he didn’t cover,” Benny tells Apple Music’s Ebro Darden. “Like no social media posting — that’s something that he couldn’t talk about. I just filled in a few blanks.”

11th Commandment

Bad Boy Records C.E.O., Diddy gives his stamp of approval and features on the record. Benny The Butcher encourages leaving the streets soon as possible in his eleventh commandment. The two emphasize this since success in the industry is about longevity and elevation.

“The first chance you get, you better get out this shit.
Them old stories how you was gettin’ dough won’t amount to shit”

Furthermore, Diddy ends the song with highly encouraging words showing love to the black community and reminding listeners of who they are and the purpose they serve.

“It’s all in the mindset, Diddy says. We one of the world’s most valuable commodities… That’s Black culture, baby. We all legal now. We just gotta stick together and unify…get back to love, that Black love.”

“We are the original man, the Black man is God
And the Black woman gave birth to the Black man
You can imagine what she is”

Mark “The Wizard” Lee directs the “10 More Commandments” video. He follows Benny The Butcher through New York City streets. A cameo from D.J. Premier, who produces Biggie’s original “Ten Crack Commandments.” In addition, there are appearances from Fabolous, Boldy James, The Alchemist, and Daringer. Benny The Butcher respects Biggie, hip-hop, and black culture in “10 More Commandments.”
