Ten Crack Commandments - Classic song basically about how to be a successful drug dealer. "All I got is beef with those that violate me. Funny phone conversation between BIG and Puffy at the beginning. Going Back to Cali - Classic song about Cali. Can't look his baby girls in the eye." 9/10Īnother - Pretty weak song featuring Lil Kim. "I'm a thug, but I swear, for three days I cried. Miss U - Depressing song that Big sings about friends that have died (mainly about his boy "O"). "Doesn't it seem odd to you? Big come through with mobs and crews." 10/10 Shows Biggie's range as he speed raps successfully with Bone Thugs. Notorious Thugs - Good song with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Afterwards, BIG tells the story again but not in song. I Got A Story To Tell - Funny story BIG tells about what happens when a guy walks into his house where Biggie's with the guy's girl. Everything to gain, embedded in his brain." 10/10 "Nothing to lose, tattooed around his gun wounds. By the end of this song, you feel like you're in that hallway. N****s Bleed - Another great song in which BIG tells a gripping story. If I did, ain't no problem to get the gat." 8/10 Still, Ma$e provides a nice verse as does Big. Mo Money Mo Problems - Very catchy beat but it got overplayed. Interlude - Nothing special or notable other than that it's produced by The Notorious B.I.G. This rap Alfred Hitchcock drop top notch, playa hating won't stop." 9/10ī.I.G. Puffy gets annoying but Biggie's got some more great, slow rhymes. What's Beef? - Good song over a pretty catchy beat with a lot of strings. While your gun's raising, mine is blazing." 10/10 Again, both Biggie and Jay-Z produce some classic lyrics. I think of it as the sequel to "Brooklyn's Finest" on "Reasonable Doubt". "You still apoligizin, analyzin, my size and your size and realizin, a fist fight would be asinine" 9/10 It features LOX and they all tear up their verses as does Biggie. Last Day - Pretty hot song produced by Havoc. Big's got some nice rhymes and it's got a good beat. One shot, they disappearin." You Tonight - Pretty nice song with R.Kelly for the ladies. He's got some classic rhymes over this great beat by DJ Premier after a pretty funny skit with the Madd Rapper. Kick In The Door - Great song with some really tight lyrics from BIG.

That's how most of these so-called gangsters pass." 9/10 "Gon' blast, squeeze first, ask questions last. I can't wait to feel my clip in his hips." 10/10 "Revenge I'm tastin at the tip of my lips. He creates a vivid story of revenge and he lays out some amazing lyrics over this haunting beat. Intro - Good intro that picks up right where "Ready To Die" left off (literally). This is a great follow-up to "Ready To Die". It's a classic album sprawled over two discs (24 songs) and there isn't really that much filler (if any). After three years, Biggie dropped this epic in 1997. It's basically a sequel to his first album and it picks up right where "Ready To Die" left off, as do his skills. "Life After Death" is not quite as good as his 1st album and it's not as dark or raw but it's still an excellent CD. Those are some big shoes to fill and leave it to Biggie to manage to create a classic on his second album as well. I think that it is the best rap album ever made. came out with a classic album in 1994 entitled "Ready To Die". is regarded as one of the best lyricist ever in Hip-Hop along with his one time friend and eventual adversary, Tupac Shakur.The Notorious B.I.G.

Sean "Puffy" Combs got a hold of the demo tape and after meeting signed Biggie to Uptown Records. From there he got notice in Hip-Hop magazine, The Source, in the Unsigned Hype section. After making a demo tape with neighborhood friends and connections, this demo was eventually received DJ Mister Cee (from Big Daddy Kane).
