I really tried with this album. But I just don't get this "music" - I use that term loosely.
Undeniably C.R.A.P.
I tried, for 3 tracks, but life's too short to be listening to this sub nursery school rhyming gangsta crap. Next album please...
Too in-your-face crude for my taste.
Did not make it all the way through Will say when they sang was bit bad it’s all the other stuff that mad it unlistenable 0/5
Rap/hip hop is not my thing. This started out bearable, but I got really sick of it. Of course it had to have the usual rap album sounds of sex song... 1/5
Again, not a fan of rap. Definitely not a fan of of his nasaly speech. Sounds like me trying to talk after eating 10 lbs of BBQ.
Did not enjoy
Absolute garbage
Not my style. Good rythmic flow, stereotypical ridiculous hip hop tough guy posturing. Mostly extremely uninteresting instrumentation.
I wasn't able to finish this. Just felt like listening to an anxiety panic attack. Not fun
There was 1 - ONE - song I liked. The rest was tiring, boring, monotonous. Rap isn't for me.
I gather it's pretty meaningful music, but I just can't stand listening to it
Not very good tracks amongst horrifically bad interludes and skits.
This album came at the wrong time in my life. He brags about how poorly he treats women and how his dick is so big it shatters bladders. Not for me.
NOT FOR ME
I find gangsta rap confusing. I understand where they're coming from, but to me there doesn't seem to be any real anger - a bit like American punk - it just seems to be designed to shock rather than start an uprising.
Nope
This is hard to score to be honest. If it weren't for the _actual words_ being said I might be wondering if I should score this 4. I'm not a rap fan but this guy has decent tunes and his own rapping style which I really enjoyed. But I just can't find enjoyment in an album with this content which is awful. It could still have been a 3 till he started rapping about his cock and then the stupid skits where they're acting out fucking it's dropped to a 1. What a waste of talent.
One of his lyrics is so wildly offensive/gross in the album that I unfortunately can’t look past it to give this a positive and insightful review 😬
life’s too short and fragile to listen to death metal or gangsta rap
why.....? Sure it's got flow and rhythm, but still, Why?
Sad violence and grim perspective.
No, didn't do anything for me. Usual foul mouthed lyrics and ranting. There were some tuneful parts butbthey seemed to be samples of other more accomplished musicians. 1*
So not my kind of thing
No m'agrada el rap ni el hip hop, no hi entro
Nee,vervelend intro daarna wat gangster-gedoe maar eigenlijk zonder stoer te klinken. Ben gestopt met luisteren
Gangster rap is toch een beetje een wereld waar ik niet helemaal in thuishoor. Wel echt geprobeerd, maar dit is helemaal niks voor mij.
Meh...
'Ready To Die', tja dan vraag je er dus gewoon om. Ik muziekaal gezien had ie z'n microfoon al wel een paar jaar eerder aan de wilgen mogen hangen. Wat een cliché rap-geroeptoeter. Stoerdoenerij ipv muziek maken.
Yuck
This is a whole genre I just can't relate to. Doesn't mean it's no good, just means it's not my cup of mother-flippin tea.
It's not my music.
Brutal and distressing and long.
Not my thing
Uma bela bosta
Rap hiphop
Nope
Nope. No way. This is violent, profane bullshit.
I stopped listening partway through. Can't deny the guy has talent (clever lyrical elements, not so much the lyrical content itself), knows how to keep a beat. But the skits are AWFUL and I basically just can't handle how fucking stupid this guy sounds talking about what a bad-ass he is and how much the girls love him. It's obnoxious and there's not much going on musically in the background to save it. Easy 1/5
Didn’t see why all the fuss was about, I wonder if he would have been as famous as he was were he not gunned down. Of its time and not especially outstanding
I have only heard clips of some tracks from B.I.G. before listening to this album. I have listened to very little rap overall. From this album, the primary characteristic that I hear from each track is vulgarity. Then there are all of the references to guns and violence. I can't hear past the language being used.
this album requires listening to the lyrics, the beats are stale, which sucks cuz i usually like the beats in 90s hip hop
Another loud man boasting about his prowess. It manages to be boring, yet highly irritating at the same time. Thank God they started making decent music in the south, because this east coast/west coast stuff is uniformly poor.
Couple on it are alright
Terrible content. It makes me sad people experience this way of life
Some of the beats were good and the rapping smooth but I really didn't enjoy this album.
The most tedious album opener I've ever had the misfortune to hear. These skits age like milk.
Whyyyyy are there so many sex noise/porno skits?! Why do they feel the need to add those in? Even if you're someone who isn't bothered by the misogynistic side of it, it's just annoying to listen to! Though it's not my typical genre, this isn't my first Biggie album. There's some more enjoyable tracks on here, but I still prefer his 'Mo Money Mo Problems' over anything else.
Whelp. Definitely not my cup of tea. There were some good beats and decent background music, but the subject matter is simply one I cannot relate to. Also, far, far too many extremely unpleasant noises to make for good listening. That is not what I want to hear. And too much D*$# for me, thanks.
uf, ovo mi je bas dosadno i repetitivno
bullshit
Hip Hop. Really?!? Sorry, could never get into it. And really, I tried listening to a few tracks here, I just can't find anything I like. 1/5.
Skothvellir og ýmis konar kynlífshljóð í lengri tíma gerðu alveg út af við þessa plötu fyrir mig. Ekki minn tebolli.
Nigga pöetry wit zom biits
Total crap.
It's alright. Just wasn't in the mood.
Did not like
Too many Expletives. Darling cover, am a softy for any baby on covers😁
Tämä oli kaameaa kuraa ja pitkä levy. Minun korvaan räpäyttely oli vähän epäselvää ja lähinnä siitä jäi mieleen oman nimen toistelu, niggat, ammuskelu, kiroilu ja panojutut. Biitit oli aika monotonisia ja kaikki biisit kuulostivat enemmän tai vähemmän samoilta.
Proprio no. Mi sono fermato alla terza traccia.
I really don't understand this kind of shit.
This makes me so angry I can hardly articulate it. Racist, mysoginist in the extreme, boastful, violent and just downright disrespectful all round. Oh yes, and it's also rubbbish musically.
The album that reinvented East Coast rap for the gangsta age, Ready to Die made the Notorious B.I.G. a star, and vaulted Sean "Puffy" Combs' Bad Boy label into the spotlight as well. Today it's recognized as one of the greatest hardcore rap albums ever recorded, and that's mostly due to Biggie's skill as a storyteller.
Yeah, no. I stopped during the third song. So not for me.
Meh 😒
Malo
Horrendous
Nooo
Terrible
Not my thing
It’s good, a bit hardcore
