This song was originally made as a demo for Angie Martinez’s radio show on Hot 97. If you’re not being arrested, never be seen communicating with the police.Never let anyone know what your next move will be.Never let anyone know how much money you have.It’s the same copy his mom was reading in the “Juicy” video. Many believe B.I.G drew inspiration for this song from the July 1994 issue of The Source magazine. In “Ten Crack Commandments,” Biggie presents himself as the Moses of the drug game, juxtaposing the force of God with the dark forces of capitalism, much like Jay Z’s “D'Evils” As in “D'Evils,” the ruthless street religion is stronger than Christianity.
