BEST OF BIGGIE SMALLS ALBUM SONGS FULL

Not quite as strong as some of the others but still a great track 4/5 Two of the greatest rappers of all time on the same track, you can't really go wrong. There's a great contrast from the other tracks thanks to the introduction of Meth. A menacing groove with more virtuoso rapping. Still a good song 3.5/5ДЇeatures Method Man and has a real Wu-Tang feel to it. A bit too comical in areas to compete with the other tracks but a refreshing change in topic from the usual death, guns and hate. 'I got the cleanest meanest pe nis, ya never seen this stroke of genius'. 'I've got that good dick girl, you didn't know?' - hmm, right. This is a track devoted to sex and how he's a playa, lol yeah ok. Over a minute of woman phoning Biggie before the rapping starts. The last words of the track are 'I don't want to see no crying at my funeral' - kinda sad to hear now when we know that he died so young. Whether he would or not is a different matter but the delivery in this sounds pretty convincing. Notorius is trying to prove here that he doesn't give a fuc k about anyone and will do anything he has to. Biggie sounds deadly serious with every word that he says - 'In a sec I through the tec to your fu ckin neck, everybody hit the deck, Biggie bought to get some wreck'. 'We gon' kill yo as s' claims Puff Daddy before the rapping commences.

I'll give it four so that im not giving every track full marks. There's a small, light hearted interlude towards the end which finally rounds off with gun fire. Another track in the form of a story about Biggie catching wind of people he used to know plotting to kill him. Really psychadelic riff with a pounding drum beat set the mood. This is far from a filler track though, some rappers would kill to have a track of this caliber on their album. Just another great song on a great album. Not much else to be said about it really. More of the same legendary rap skills with a powerful chorus chant.

This is a really dark one, a good representation of Biggie's hardcore side. My favourite line(there are so many) would have to be - 'For the bread and butter I leave ******s in the gutter'. Told in the form of a story, this is endlessly entertaining and one of the greatest rap tracks of all time. A spray of lines between himself takes the style of a Beastie Boys track with one rapper! Fully demontrates why this man was such a genius. It's hard to believe that the second rapper is Biggie playing two contradictory characters. A great opening track with a solid groove and lyrical content(all the songs have this). The overall feel of the track sways towards gangsta rap with a dark mood.

Biggie's vocals enter and his flow lights up the song. Kicks in with that legendary drum beat to start the album. A cool way to start the album, can't really rate it though as I guess this is like a three and a half minute representation of Biggie's life cut into three different sections which are marked by the songs played behind them. It then moves into an old school hip-hop track sampling 'Good Times' by Chic. A loud thumping heartbeat pounds over the funk classic 'Superfly' by Curtis Mayfield while a woman gives birth. Lot's of different sounds intertwined here. 'Ready to Die' is the greatet rap album from the greatest ever. Biggie Smalls is my favourite rap artist of all time due to his easy flow and rhyme skills. 'Juicy', either way the songs flow in nicely with each other and create a relaxed, laid back groove to the album. 'Everyday Struggle 'whereas in others it's more upbeat eg. In areas 'Ready To Die' is quite sinister and dark sounding eg. The combination of both long and short lines piled on top of each other, in quick succession give a jumpy feel to the raps providing a greater groove to the overall structure. Throughout, Big raps about growing up, death, guns and troubles in the 'hood' like most rappers do but his great story telling ability and rhyme delivery seperates him from the rest of the pack. This combined with Psychadelic funk beats and Puff Daddy's producing creates one of the finest rap records in history. The rhyme skills on show here are about as good as it gets. Who's 2Pac? Seriously, eventhough he seems to get all the praise these days, 2Pac in my opinion doesn't come close to Biggie and this album is why.

'The greatest hardcore rap album of all time'.
