Ready To Die

90s rap. If you feel like listening to this, good album. The song with sex sounds kind of grossed me out.

Holy lyrics, very groovy

Supernintendo Sega Genesis. Easy to root for old biggie, raps relatable even if you didn't grow up poor in brooklyn. Hard hitting production and stupid puff daddy chiming in now and again, a detriment.

The skits are annoying bullshit. As long as we're talking only about the parts where he isn't fucking, I like the album. But now with a grown-up mind, lyrics that all revolve around shooting dudes and fucking bitches just seem boring and unimaginative. Rhymes and flow is on point of course. This is probably the most generous 4 I've given so far. In honesty, I should rate this as 3.

Biggie's a legend. But, I don't revere him the same way others do. He's great don't get me wrong. Everybody knows Gimme the Loot, Big Poppa, and Who Shot Ya? I really liked Just Playing and Everyday Struggle for songs I wasn't familiar with. There are a lot of great bars in the other tracks. But I do think it is a little too long. And I don't really care for all the sex skits and outros.

I was coming to this one a bit worried, but I'm having so much fun. What a great rapper Biggy was. His flow and talent is unique and, honestly, one of the best I've ever heard. It still shines today. Unlike Tupac (sorry) where I feel the hype is about the myth , here I'm actually flying with music itself. The production is very good aswell, and serve Biggy's rapping perfectly (maybe at time I would like some adventures sounds, but it's personal preference). My untrained ear (somewhat trained maybe), i think it's one of the best hip hop albums I've heard, definitely from that era. Magnificent. Would listen again of course. A high high 4.

Good flow good lyrics Could do without the sex skits

Ceci était plutôt sympathique.

Some all time bars, great beats and unfortunate 90’s misogyny.

Pretty good

I liked his beat and rap style a lot - i thought it flowed together really nicely. It was fun to listen to a Notorious B.I.G. album since i've heard so much about him and he's known as the king of rap. Good album overall, though I did not care for how he talked about women so deffo gotta take a star off for that. Probably would give it 3.5 stars if i could but i'll just round up. My favorite song was Gimme the Loot.

I was so ready to give this a 5. The beats are immaculate. And Biggies flow is unparalleled. This was so clearly a moment in music history that changed the course of music forever. Rap was never the same after this album - everything that followed it was influenced by it whether it realized it or not. But there’s just too many weird as fuck sketches in here. Cmon. Edit. Cut. Refine. Like at 4 I still woulda given it a 5. But after like 15 audio sketches of Biggie being like “yeah suck me fat dick bitch!” You just don’t get a 5.

It’s wild to think, RUN DMC and all that was just five years before this. Some groundbreaking shit here

is there an album hornier than this one? it’s up there. loved the Method Man features. a lot of swagger goin on here, and it mostly works, particularly the first half of the album. starts to lose me in the last few tracks.

Just one of the GOATs of flow. The way Biggie's voice and rhymes glides over these beats is a wonder to behold. It's a little long, and the subject matter gets a bit tiresome after a while, but then you get to "Suicidal Thoughts" and he reminds you what he already told you on "Ready to Die": he hates this shit. He isn't glorifying this life, he's just a poet that was born into the shit. It makes you listen to the album again in a whole new way. Also, as a teacher, I have to wonder how many educators talked way less shit to their students about their future after "Juicy" came out. And another thing. One of the joys of listening to these old rap albums is noticing the lines that you've heard other rappers reference. This time, one was in "Big Poppa," which everyone's heard a thousand times, but this time I noticed the line "Giving ends to my friends, and it feels stupendous," which John Darnielle used for The Mountain Goats song "Fall of the Star High School Running Back" but in the third person. 'All Hail West Texas' should be on this list.

Biggie came out the gate SWINGING! He could have been the undisputed GOAT if he were still alive.

If I’ve always struggled to understand the near-universal worship surrounding Tupac, I find his fat counterpart much easier to get behind. The voice, the flow, the production, the emotion…this debut is incredible. Only Ice Cube gave me a similar sense of urgency and raw presence at that time. It’s unmistakably a product of the 90s, yet it still sounds very good today.

Straightforward early 90s rap. 1990 was the first year I bought a rap album (cassette). It was BDP. That got me aware of Hip hop overall. Then I was attuned to a world of hip hop where I worked, so much if Biggie's music I heard, but at the time didn't k own which group was which. This album had at least four of those songs that stuck in my head, despite me not knowing if it was Tupac, Smalls, Wu, et al. For the reminiscing, this is at least a 4. Had I gotten as familiar with this as I did with Nas, Wu, PE... I wonder if this would now be a 5. May need to listen again before I rate.

Some absolute bangers on this album. I’ve never listened to it front to back but I do love me some Hip Hop. territory as well. This music in this one is a straight 5/5 for me, but the skits were so shitty and dated (I especially hated the one where he's getting head) that I have to rate it a 4.

The skits are too are awful.

The first blind spot! Won’t pretend I could write anything intelligently about the cultural importance of this without diving deeper into the history. I’ll just say that I love the way it sounds, the production so jazzy and smooth and sensual even in the album’s darkest corners. Standout moment: The back-to-back sequencing of the joyous Juicy to the despairing Everyday Struggle.

Gimme the Loot is the apex of gangsta rap. Biggie was one of the greats, but still I found this to lag near the end. And I never need to hear blowjobs on vinyl. Strong 3.5⭐️

Moved the needle with rap!! Very much worth a listen.

A certified classic, although I’m docking it one star due to the skits being absolutely awful. There’s one that sounds like they’re eating, just straight slurping for a good 30 seconds. Also, about 15 mins too long, I thought this album should have ended on Suicidal Thoughts.

SOLID

A classic.

Legendary album, Biggie's presence is massive in these songs and his brutally honest stories of street and gang life are profoundly immersive. Theres a few awkward bars and interludes here keeping this from being rated higher, and one or two tracks aren't as memorable as the high points here, but this is still pretty freakin' good.

Huge huge huge album, some of the skits sent me a bit but god he had flow 4.0/5.0 Best Song: Juicy

8 - a classic

esta algo asi, pero no se, mucho trrean y menos vocal-ritmo

Clásico, super divertido, ya lo había escuchado pero hace mucho que no y la verdad recordaba que era bueno pero no tan bueno

All of this is good, not all of it is great. But god damn the good stuff is absolute essential hip hop.

Great album. The beginning didn't get me, but the last songs are FIRE. Awesome tracklist.

Excellent

Very good. Love how they moan

It’s hard to say much that’s negative when it comes to Biggie, especially with this album that has such iconic songs on it. The only thing I didn’t enjoy were the 90s rap interlude skits, I’m so glad that’s no longer a trend in music. Could be a five, but the length and explicit sex skits bring this one down.

Jeg kan ikke så mye om Biggie og jeg har vel egentlig bare hørt den sangen han sampler Duran Duran. Men dette er ganske bra saker. Liker samplegamet og viben. Egentlig eneste som trekker ned er lengden og at man ikke kan høre albumet i helhet på høyttaler pga skits med suging og orgasme

Muy bueno, No me gustó tanto los tracks explícitos, pero lo demás 10/10

I love this one, but I’ve heard it so many times. Hearing it again yesterday I realized like maybe I need to listen to other stuff now besides this one. It’s good, but I’ll leave it for other people for a while.

This rating does not take into account the Diddy stink of it all.

4/5 Best Song: Juicy Worst Song: Fuck Me (Interlude) Weirdest Song: Fuck Me (Interlude) Honorable Mention: Big Poppa It's hard to find a rapper with better lyrical flow than Biggie. Combine that with heavy hitting 90s boom-bap, guns, and sex, and you've got Ready to Die. Not perfect but has some of the most memorable hip hop songs of all time.

#10 This album shows its age in many ways, but also is undeniably important to its genre. Biggie is such a masterful story teller, and has such a distinct flow and voice. Big Poppa and Juicy stand out as true classics. The skits are a bit much though, and it is thematically and sonically mostly the same all the way through.

probably one of the most respected rappers, and thus rap album, imo

I listened to this before but did not remember it being this raw. Really cool concept and the skits really brought it to life. Obviously the raps were great but the album was a few filler tracks long. The last song was too good

some classics......some not my vibe but overall vvv good, 4 rounded

There are so many classics in here for this to be below a 4. The sex interludes and skits are weird and uncomfortable to listen to so I'll knock off a point from being 5/5. 4/5

NY soundi on lempparia, mutta tätä en ole kuunnellut. Oikein hyvä vaikka bad boy akseli on aina ollut oman maun ulkopuolella.

This is a seminal NY hip hop record. Biggie has a flow that is untouched by anybody, just so smooth. There's a reason he's considered one of the best ever with such a small amount of output. Plus, this one has hits that transcend generations, Juicy and Big Poppa can be played in any age bracket outside of boomers and you will get the reaction you expect. Only issue with this record, and most 1990s hip hop album is all the skits. I don't think I need those.

Some good classics on here, could've done without the excessive swearing but I guess I'm just old and out of touch

Clásico del ji jo, el rap, los chavos

despite the vulgarity it is just raw and vulnerable and slappin

Really cool sound, i need to give it another listen more focused on the lyrics. The only thing that creeps me out were the fellation sounds, like wtf brotha we don’t need tha shit.

Really good. One of if not the best rap album so far.

Fundamental to the language of hip hop. The sound and the flows were critical to establish the east coast way. Biggie is a generational talent, unfortunately, a lot of production decisions bring this project down. The skits were dumb and off putting, I did not expect the sucking sounds to go on for as long as they did, made me extremely uncomfortable. The highs are high, though the flow of the album isn't great.

8.5/10

1. Suicidal Thoughts 2. One More Chance 3. Unbelievable

Throw your hands in the air if you miss a true player 😢

Not eager to listen. A lot of sexualized content in this album. Had to skip past two songs due to the grotesque nature. I don't mind sex as a topic or part of a song... but oral + gagging? No thanks. I added a few songs to my 'liked' songs, but wouldn't listen to the whole album again.

Amo el hip-hop, este álbum es icónico y me encanta.

Insane how this album is one of the ones that changed the course of rap and hip hop culture for decades to come. Big Poppa is an all time jam.

own

Things Done Changed - 4/5 Gimme the Loot - 4.5/5 Machine Gun Funk - 4/5 Warning - 4/5 Ready to Die - 4/5 One More Chance - 4/5 The What - 4/5 Juicy - 5/5 Everyday Struggle - 4/5 Me & My Bitch - 4/5 Big Poppa - 4.5/5 Respect - 3.5/5 Friend of Mine - 3.5/5 Unbelievable - 4/5 Suicidal Thoughts - 4.5/5 A literal certified hood classic. Biggie is a great storyteller and has great flow, telling his story of his struggles growing up and dealing before he (may or may not have) risen out of the life he was born into. However, some of the skits make you cringe because of how awkward they can be. Do I really need to be third-wheeling this get sucked off? Or listening to him having sex? I'm not a prude but this is really making me turn into one. The one where they noticed red dots on their head was fine, but maybe less pornographic skits would probably do this better. Also Diddy produced this so those two combined together that's an automatic star off. Overall: 4/5 Favorites: Juicy, Gimme the Loot, Big Poppa, Suicidal Thoughts

8/10 Musica de negro yankee, no falla, buen album, raros algunos intervalos, pero después en punga

Again, I like this type of hip hop. A classic I guess?

Geen grote fan van 90s hiphop, maar je kan niet om dit album heen, zoals je fysiek niet om Biggie heen kon in een deurpost

Hoge hoge highs, maar mijn god deze plaat is bloated, Miseducation is er niets bij.

Fav- one more chance 4/5

Good album.

Stone cold banger

Playful, introspective heartbreaking a bit lude, some problematic lyrics and themes but overall, I see the vision. I had a good time with it!

Lyrics are absolutely on point here. The best New York rap album for me

biggie was that dude

V good

Great album that doesn’t need the skits. Listening to a skit of biggie having sex or what I can only imagine is him going down on a woman is not necessary and uncomfortable. I would give it five stars without the skits but they just made me too uncomfortable.

очень плотно, хорошо звучит, достаточно хитов и в принципе классика хорошие скиты

Me recontra gusto, solamente algunas canciones me paracueron raras

Good storytelling, solid flow, great instrumentals, mixed messaging (gangster rap is always hit and miss with me), TERRIBLE skits. Likes: Gimme the Loot; Machine Gun Funk; Juicy; Big Poppa; Suicidal Thoughts

Ready to Die surprised me in how much i liked it. The highlights for me were “Ready to Die,” “One More Chance,” and “Suicidal Thoughts,” all hitting in completely different ways but sticking hard. I was honestly more drawn to the vibe and production than anything else, but the storytelling still adds that extra layer without getting in the way. Biggie himself just sounds effortlessly cool and confident the whole time, which carries the album a lot. The darker moments hit hard, especially toward the end, and the whole thing feels cohesive rather than just a playlist of tracks. Not sure yet if I’ll keep running it front to back, but there’s definitely a lot here that’ll stay in rotation.

Great album, maybe listened to it through once before and is just good

classic.

I haven’t listened to a full Biggie Album before, so this was pretty cool!

Big Incredible Guy

One of the all time greats and gone too soon, we love you Big

Stone cold flow and one of the most recognizable voices with rap. Biggie had charisma for days and it really carried the songs to the next level. The amount of iconic one-liners on this album is ridiculous and it's combined with some of the craziest 90s production. Whether he is doing boastful bangers or heart breaking emotional songs (Suicidal Thoughts is just... Wow) he sounds incredible. It's one of the best rap albums from a vocal standpoint, and the lyrical content is deep and very clever. There is some minor duds in the form of Me & My Bitch and Friend of Mine, but most of the album is incredible.

I don't think I'm equipped to rate this or give input on it. It's a world that I can't even imagine myself in. It's hard to know how much of an artist's work is "genuinely the truth" about themselves and their feelings, and how much is just a show being put on, but finding out that Biggie died so young and that an album with so much horribly negative emotion in it made the whole thing one of the most distressing listens of my life. It's got a lot of incredible sounds and incredible songwriting and lines in it, though. And I enjoyed my time with it quite a lot. But man. Overall, great listen, lots of stupid silly stuff mixed in with the serious depressing shit, tons of amazing lines. Great.

a classic tbh

Violently sexy

storyteller asf

Heavy hip hop

With albums like this, I really appreciate that English isn't my first language, because I can simply turn off my brain's ability to understand the lyrics. If I understood the lyrics, I wouldn't be able to listen to it. I love it musically, but I hate it lyrically.

Classic, conceptual but has so many tracks that stand on their own.

If the album was produced without all the skits of him having sex it would've been an easy 5

so glad I did the steep dive. I’ve never listened to this album full because it’s so long I didn’t and I didn’t think I’d like it, but biggie‘s flow is unparallel and some of the lyrics make you flat out laugh. It’s probably still a bit too long, but too many skits in between songs, but I can understand the reverence for it now.

Oh man I've not listened to this in decades. I had forgotten about the skits. Then I remembered why I was annoyed at 90's hop hop... The skits are annoying to skip past on tapes. I don't know if this will hold up to modern listeners. "The Kids" might not like the casual misogyny and violence. I know we didn't think much of it at the time. Most of us never took it to heart. Probably better we have moved on from it, even though it's still alive and well in groups of men. For me the album still holds up, both from a historical perspective and just great rhymes and flow. Biggie used words well, I could do with less Puffy. He was annoying then and now.... I'm not trusting him with anything more than a plate of cookies. Even that he might try and fuck. Yeah this is a solid album, bit long at times, could use less fucking and blowjob noises, but still shows his talents well and the mix is good.

One of the Biggest rap albums of all time, for a variety of reasons. I really enjoy Biggie's style, technique, and cadence. He brings a lot of personality just through his delivery, which works to enhance the songs as a whole. As someone who doesn't listen to a lot of rap, I can still recognize and appreciate how much he stands out (in a good way). I also liked a lot of the musical compositions, even if they were a bit repetitive. They still did a good job making the raps feel at home to each song. Of course, it's not all good. The lyrical content gets old fast. The song about his sexual prowess going into a skit that's basically just a sex scene wasn't a great listen. It feels like posturing with how much he had to emphasize it, though the concept's not exactly unique to this album (or artist, or genre). It's also a very long album, going a few minutes past an hour. I can't point out any particular songs as bad, but the hits do stand out as the tracks to hear from the whole runtime. There's a lot to appreciate here, and I enjoyed this one for the most part. But there are plenty of things to take issue with. In all, I thought it was a good listen and worthy of the list. Overall: 3.8/5

The flow on this album, especially it's first half, is ridiculous creative and fun. Layered on top of some brilliant spaced out beats, this album is a stunner. Slightly let down by the odd track and shite skits, but a stone cold classic nontheless.

There's a violent, desperate edge to this album that I love. It's catchy, vibey, a little out there with some of the samples, but it's so good. What a crazy debut.

# Album Name: Ready to Die # Artist: Notorious BIG # Rating: 4/5 # Comments: Well he truly lived up to the title of his debut album. Overall way too long. But theres actually several good songs on here. Not usually a fan of rap but this was of good quality. As usual with this genre, the skits and length of the albums detract from the quality. # Top Tunes: Gimme the loot / One more chance / Big P / Respect # Would I listen to it again? Parts of it

enjoyed this one! shockingly chill vibes for a rap album. Could do without the interludes lol

Went into this one with full intention to give it a 5 and write a long review. But to my surprise, that’s not where I land with his album. It’s undeniably a hip hop classic, but it’s a bit too long and the skits are truly awful. However, I can confidently say that Biggie at his best is just about as good as it gets, on tracks like Juicy, Big Poppa and Who Shot Ya? 4.5/5

Favorite Track: Big Poppa

pretty good stuff, awesome to dance to and i can see why it’s so iconic

OG!

45# B I G INDA HOUSE Great album

I don’t think I had listened to this all the way through before!! What a rollercoaster of emotions. The skit where she fell off the bed made me LOL. I think my favorite line was “hold your horses I’m about to show you who the king of intercourse is”

had a lot of fun listening to this - great album. super awesome story telling. loving the reggae energy in some of the tracks.

One of the iconic hip-hop albums of the 90’s with a couple of classics on it. I enjoyed listening to this again

It's always a beautiful tonic to hear hip hop when I've been inundated with back to back crusty 70's white guy music.

Insane lyricism and flow but not entirely for me

8 / 10

Big Poppa får det hevet op på 4. Det er jo ikke WestCoast.

A classic! No notes 4/5- GEMV (16.03.2026)

I don't know why I never got into Biggie Smalls growing up; this is great.

Grim but greatly enjoyable

4.2. Et af de helt store. Simpelthen bare godt.

Damn good album. Biggie's lyrics and flow are incredible. "Mean and My Bitch" is a little... crude, but the sentiment is nice. Not a five because two different interludes of sex noises are too much for me.

Listened Before? Y Yep. He was good. Probably one of the best of all time. If there is a such thing as a rap prodigy, it was Biggie. Amazing album from an amazing rapper who was extremely polished for his age at the time. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Big Poppa

I really enjoyed listening through this album. Biggie is a great storyteller, with lyrics that paint a picture of his childhood, his struggles, and his life now. The samples and beats in this album feel timeless. I could do without the sexual sound interludes, but I'm blaming that on a product of the times. Overall, very solid

If there was less sex this would be a 10.

I never listened much to Biggie in my younger days - probably a bit early for my time - but it's clear why he's considered one of the greatest ever. The flow is infectious, and there are some great beats here. It got a bit long, and I could do without the skits, but a good listen.

Listen to this album in your work hours is like a challenge because you have to keep a straight face when you hear all that moaning while you edit your excel sheets... Besides that, pretty good riming!

Biggie was definitely better than Tupac, but neither were particuarly to my taste

It's great of course. Just not an album I see myself returning to the same way I do other classic rap albums.

Loved it when it first came out. Still good, but it’s lost some luster for me.

Pretty hard to find faults in this one Biggie’s delivery is just so goddamn good; Big Poppa and Juicy are classics that I’ve heard a plenty of times but never listened to closely, and man they sound great. Lyrics are smooth, funny, and deeply personal at times. I think he makes excellent use of samples as well. If I had to find one problem I had with it, it’s just that it’s a little bloated. There’s a couple tracks that don’t really do much other than lengthen the runtime. This would probably be a 9/10, but 5 stars doesn’t feel quite right. Comfortable 4.

big poppa is a great song very intense to listen to but i can appreciate it

Great classic album.

4.5/5

Great album, unfortunately, I can hear the Diddy-fluence

I don’t like hip hop that much, but this was a very well done album. The only complaint I have is that I think there are too many skits. Just less of them would be nice.

Good rap, although i prefer the west coast stuff. Gets better to the end. 4.3 stars

Incredible record, immaculate vibes. Could do with a little less fellatio but hey, who am I to complain.

So much blatant misogyny in this album- the Puff Daddy connection makes increasingly more sense as I listened. Unfortunately this album is a fantastic, all the songs are absolute bops. I’ll take one star off for hating and abusing women? I don’t feel good about this, lol

Natuurlijk ben ik mij bewust dat dit album op vele must-hear lijstjes staat. Maar tot nu toe had ik nooit aan die oproepen gehoor gegeven. Ik kende twee hits en dat was het. De 1001 krijgt het dan toch voor elkaar. En daar ben ik nu wel blij mee. Het album ligt heel makkelijk in het gehoor (op wat seconden na, die het gekreun op de gemiddelde rap-plaat nog eens overtoepen). Het album gaat veel verder dan de catchy pop-klanken van de mij bekende hits. Het toont een sterke en vrij brede rapper. De eventuele bruggen tussen oost en west en de trieste geschiedenis laat ik even aan het internet. Mij valt vooral de brug tussen oud en (toen) nieuw op. Het album staat met één voet in de basale, maar flowende decenniumwisseling '80's - '90's en met één voet al in de sterk geproduceerde mid-'90's. Dat klinkt alsof het nu hopeloos ouderwets is. Maar zelfs met deze handtekeningen, luistert het nu ook nog prima weg. De samenwerkingen helpen het album. En dan heb ik het niet over het, blijkbaar door Puff zelf erin geforceerde, losstaande Puff gedoe. Dat is vooral zoals de nutteloze shots van Trump in menig film. Maar bijvoorbeeld een Method Man geeft toch even een break. Nou ja, meneer pakt nogal het podium zelfs. Ik moest ook even het nummer terugluisteren hoe hij er nu inviel :D. Eigenlijk een 5 sterrenalbum. Maar die aangehaalde paar seconden verdienen flinke minpunten.

Not bad, some choice songs...

A pesar de no tener todas las canciones disponibles en Spotify, me parece un gran acierto el acompañamiento de dialogos y efectos de sonido, aunque por si solo sea un album facil de disfrutar. Mención especial al dato de que es su album debut (wow) y a que salió una semana antes de nacer yo.

Will always find it hard to get into these 90s rap albums, but the lyrics to this were undeniably great. I was hooked on the stories. 3.7.

I like this one. Going to give it a 4.

Great Hip-Hop record, beats are dusty and chopped lovely. Biggies performance great on basically every track and lyrically on point. A couple things i couldn’t get through tho, the constant sex audio, the sucking dick part on the end of Respect lowkey ruins the song for me. Diddy being shoved into this album wherever he can is both so annoying and creepy. I woulda loved if they closed the album on Suicidal Thoughts, great song

Labai gerai varo, bet tie intarpai žr awkward lol

Was the sex interlude really necessary?

A classic. Reminds me of watching the movie with grade school friends.

Bra sammansatt Album Otrolig rap vibe Bästalåt: big poppa, respekt Måste lyssning

the unintentional foreshadowing is CRAZYYY

really fun, will listen to again

Grisete type. Men hallo, han var jo 22 på tidspunktet, og selverklært storkar.

4.1

One of the albums where you expect it to be better than it is. BIG is one of the GOAT's and there are bare good songs on the album but the skits are weird and all the songs you expect to be the best (like big poppa, juicy, suicidal thoughts etc) actually are just the highlights of the album. Probably no other songs in the album that will be added to the playlist apart from the songs that are already added. Still banging flow and rhymes tho

Great album by one of the greats who was gone too soon. I remember discovering Biggie and subsequently this album in high school. Great memories.

Connu et reconnu : J’aime la vibe chill. Certains sons sont bangers (« juicy ») Par contre, les interlude type « fuck me » c’est insupportable… J’ai ri en imaginant vos têtes haha - Ça va avec la « street cred » de l’époque, du style, etc etc..

Encore un album hip hop rap bien sympa, décidément ma révélation de ce projet albums

East side>>>west side

beautiful

I’ve listened to this album before. Favorites: Machine Gun Funk, One More Chance, Juicy, Me and My Bitch, Big Poppa, Friend of Mine Thoughts: I liked this album a lot more this time. I love his flow, the production, everything just hit me harder on this. The raw sound of the drums, and simple piano backing combined with Biggie’s voice makes me go … BUT, this album induced skips due to the moaning. “Biggie be like ‘this song slaps, let me add some women moaning’”

I love hearing sex sounds, oral and otherwise, while enjoying some east coast hip hop jams......probably a 5 without the skits.

An album which showcases the art of the album very well. Interludes and stories peppered throughout make it a really enjoyable and interesting album to listen through all the way through, in the order it was intended! Shout out to the hits on this of course. Goes without saying that it contains some iconic songs.

Super interesting and really powerful

I was worried given it was 90s hip hop and the track count that I was going to have to listen to a bunch of "skits" between songs. Thankfully any were quite short and mostly as outros to other songs. It's a shame that he was murdered at 24, as I'm sure he would have continued to put out great music. Another, "I'm not really a fan of rap but..."

This record is an autobiographical movie about fucking and hustling and rapping. It’s immersive, at times redundant, but still always a fun listen.

It was all a dream! I used to read Word Up magazine! Biggie's debut album when he was 22, and he was killed when he was 24. It's always unbelievable the mark people can leave on the world in such a short period of time. To this day Biggie is on many peoples Mount Rushmore of GOATs. I don't know if he's on mine (who cares?) but he's definitely easy top 10. His flow is just next level and in 1994 there was no one like him until Eminem. He's so good at just flowing words and rhymes schemes together. In terms of a hip hop album, all the normal hip hop tropes are there, which is why the white church-going old grannies on here will be upset with the album. Unfortunately, it's true that the only real message from this album is "i'm doing gangsta shit and going to die doing gangsta shit", which I guess is accurate. I think the storytelling is good song to song, but there's no central theme other than "i'm a gangster" which I guess is normal. Anyway, this album is legendary for showcasing Biggies incredible flow and storytelling.

it's interesting thing in hiphop music

What is there to say, BIG is one of the greatest lyricists ever to live, the issue is the lyrics are so close to horror rap, and with recent accusations about his manager being made public, this whole thing feels so uncomfortable. Misogyny, questionable (even by rap of the times standards) lyrics aside. Production is amazing, flow is amazing and BIG is incredibly talents. Obvious shoutout to "juicy" and "the what".

"Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight" For a debut album, this is a hell of piece of work. Solid flow, great use of beats, all coming together to tell Biggy's life story. One More Chance Juicy Big Poppa

it's so good but why does he hate women sm

Så godt flow og teknisk, MEN de skits er for meget og teksterne er liiige lidt for sexistiske. Den har aged som mælk. Stadig god tho!!

There’s probably a 5 to be made by trimming several songs and adjusting the sequencing.

Biggie Smalls rolled onto the scene in the mid-90’s looking like he just left an IHOP in the ghetto but he could spit lyrics that would make your head spin. His rags to riches story was unreal and he rose to the top of the rap game as quickly as he had entered it. Ready to Die was prophetic as Notorious BIG wouldn’t live long enough to release his second album a couple of years later, having gotten caught up in the East/West rappers conflict. Biggie’s rhymes are elite and I’d put him in the conversation of being the greatest rapper of all time. He tells a story using colorful language that is as on point as it is appropriate. Listening to this album once again also makes me realize how much of a leach Puffy was regarding Biggie. I’ll give him credit for recognizing his talent, signing him to his emerging label, and supporting his very short career, but he adds nothing to this album despite forcibly sticking his nose in on every other song. Biggie will be remembered for the songs he delivered on this album and for the talents that were lost in ‘97. So pour out your 40 for another artist that left this world too early and thank the rap gods for the Notorious BIG rhymes we got to experience. …and if you don’t know, now you know [redacted].

This is the pinnacle of mid-90s gangster hip-hop with its thug rap, gat-toting, blunt smoking, bitch-smacking lyrical cavalcade. If you expected antthing less from Biggie Smalls, you’re dumber than a screen door on a submarine. Because the lyrics are both powerful and polarizing, there’s a lot to love and a lot to hate. His words are unapologetic and brash and the stories he weaves are told with a deft wordplay that makes him stand out in the genre. When it works, it’s legendary. When it doesn’t, it’s offensive, dated and foolish. Musically, there’s a lot of innovative sound work with sampling and the beats are tight AF. A classic even if it offends your senses.

This will be a 4.

The highlights were stellar, but there is a whole lot of filler. And entirely too much Puffy.

This album didn't age well, but Biggie was one of the all time greats.

LOVE! Beat, flow, rythym was incredible. I couldn't help but bop around. Pretty misogynistic but whatever

Classico

A core gangsta rap album, approaching the very id of the genre. Full of bragadocious boasting, luxurious boom-bap beats, and portraits of crime, sex, and drugs which oscillate between caricature and autobiography. Behind it all, though, is Biggie’s stark fear of his own mortality—it’s right there in the title, and made clear as can be on the final track. So this album really captures the tension of this entire genre, glorifying a life of crime in the same breath as it despairs over it. This is how it fulfills multiple purposes, providing escapism for the white kids in the suburbs as well as chilly reality for the adults in the slums. And, of course, the album works because Biggie is an all-time great rapper. His flow never cracks. An important album which will live for a long time, though it is dated (and occasionally cringe-worthy) enough that I wouldn’t call it one of my favorites. Best song: Juicy

A remarkably controlled debut that balances narrative detail, charisma, and commercial instinct. Biggie’s presence dominates every track, making even weaker moments feel intentional. It’s not flawless, but its focus and confidence remain striking.

Great album. A bit more x-rated than I remember 😂

this type shiiii

Some massive hits, some classic crude interludes, some surprise funk. A early hip hop classic.

Again, gangta rap will never really be my thing. This one gets particularly pornographic. But the hits are the hits and the beats and sample work here are great.

Probably more important/ better than 4 but was in an awful headspace for this at the time. Trying to fly home from Boston in the snow storm

Equal parts hip-hop flow and rap gem, this one raised the bar. Biggie was ahead of his time and was also gone too soon. Props for the Scarface/Geto Boys shout out on One More Chance!

A true classic, but some filler and could use less skits.

Ready to listen.

Great album. I could've done without all the sex noises in that interlude and the outro to Respect though.

I'll give it a 4.5/5 -- idk if to round up or not.

Ja super solide hiphop album. Ik ben altijd wel fan van diepe en grote stemmen bij rappers. Not to be sex negative maar had ook niet per se seks geluiden te hoeven horen! Goed wel gewoon!

Heavy hitting, storytelling album. Biggie brings us along to his world, for better and for worse. The album drags on ever so slightly—the beats and his voice are slightly too similar for my taste—but it's a great project overall. One of the classics for a reason! The intro to this album is one of the most effective I've ever heard, I was really impressed by it. The title track and Big Poppa were other obvious highlights.

heb nooit geleerd te viben met de interludes/jntros op deze era hiphop albums. verder voelt deze plaat een beetje disjointed maar altijd leuk luisteren

Classic in the rap industry, and I can see why. To many this is a perfect album but it’s not to me, the flows and sample choice are all top notch and has absolute classic songs. However, this album could’ve been a lot tighter and some songs fill a bit of a filler role. While this album doesn’t have many skits they are so cringe that it takes away a lot of enjoyment. The next thing is the content of the songs, Biggie was really trying to promote a mafia boss figure and in that a lot of the lyrics have aged very poorly whether that be the misogyny or the crime boss lyrics which boil down to cross me and you’ll be sorry. Still a great album but held back by some interesting artistic choices

Widely recognized as one of the greatest hip-hop records ever released, who am I to argue? It's a great album. Biggie is so unique with that big bass-heavy voice and cadence. This is a great record.

An incredible piece of music. I felt nostalgic for the days in high school when I would listen to this album. This might deserve a five star rating but I found myself upset with the constant themes of violence. I understand the context and life Biggie lived, but in 2026 at my stage in life I felt overwhelmed by the violent narrative.

Man, after everything that has come out about p diddy, this album feels so emotional. I love this album - from the beats themselves to the lyrics that tell such a story. Big fan!

although i can appreciate how iconic it is and the storytelling from beginning to end i just don’t care for much cursing

pretty damn good

That was a rough one for me! : )) But I could tell that it was quite the creation ....

Vibes are great, as with most of the rap albums on this list, it takes more than one listen. I need to put it on a few more times I think to really appreciate it.

Some stunning samples used!

Impossible to not head nod to these jams. Puff Daddy - as he was called at the time - and Big really came swinging out the gate here. Just an unbeatable combination of flow and streetsmart raps, but made palatable with radio cuts like Juicy or Big Poppa. Puff had his eye on crossover and empire and that he did.

white californian boy stuns with his east coast rap knowledge jk this was solid tho . like i get it 100% . some misses for me tho and i don’t love sex skits im sorry #asexualasfuck

I obviously know Biggie and the irony if the album title iant lost on me but i really havent liatemed to any of his albums. Looking forward to this. Track 1, Curtis, Sugarhill, a good start. Intro is am interesting prelude-type, scene setting track. Track 2 and i understamd the hype. Smooth laid back delivery that seems to define east coast rap, but a great ability to set the scene, convey a story, like NAS Illmatic. Really enjoyed this album.

This album does show it's age a little, a lot of violence and repetitive themes, but when it works, it really really really works. Is Biggie maybe the greatest to ever do it? I kind of think so. There are some big bright spots on this album. 'Juicy' and 'Big Poppa' will always stand the test of time I think. I love the beginning lyrics of 'Suicidal Thoughts'. The album is long, but has so much to offer. Biggie's flow and rhymes are often times unbelievably good. Like with other long albums I think this suffers from some lulls and some repetition, I don't love most of the skits and Puffy sucks. Despite all of that, this is a classic and pretty much rocks the whole way through, the highs really erase any of the lows for me.

As much as the older hip hop doesn't resonate with me. This record has some solid tracks on it. I had a lot of fun.

good

A very good album, but very much a product of its time. However it made me think: was this album just following the trend at the time or did it set it? I am more inclined toward the second option. However the weak interludes detract a point from this otherwise great album. 4/5

It's a classic... what else am I supposed to say

Goes hard 4/5 - too many sex recordings - would one be too many?

Rap is not always in steady rotation for me, but it’s so easy to tell when you’re listening to the best of it. This is such an incredible example of NY rap, and I can’t think of too many people with a flow that matches Biggie. Best Track: Juicy

So smooth and almost hypnotic, love the story telling.

3.5

Nobody told me this album is borderline experimental hip-hop. This album is blunt, unapologetic, and endlessly quotable. The first four tracks are impeccably placed and a highlight. The more famous tracks are good too but lesser known tracks like Respect shine through as well. This was a fantastic listen and a very, very welcome surprise.

Ok so these obviously all have amazing and like addicting beats. If I listened to just a few songs at a time I would probably give this a 5. I think the problem is this is just sort of too long. I also think this album could have done with a few less graphic sex noises lmao. Being honest I got a little bored of the bars about how big his dick is. Fav songs: things done changed, gimme the loot, big poppa

Pretty stella, hype, selfconsicous album (avoid the intros while drive through the vistors lot of st pats)

Ready to Die is a musical odyssey wavering between the prosaic and the profound. There’s a reason why these tracks were both party anthems in their time and garnering critical praise decades later. I’m no prude, but some lyrics are a bit hard to listen to (and even explicit releases of the album feature some censored lines). I think that it’s meant to shock people, both in its vulgarity but also in its brutally honest and often poetic embrace of mortality. I don’t want to make too much of Biggie’s “prescience” or “premonitions” as people tend to do; he may have seemed bigger than life, but he was still a real person and his death was not just a symbolic one for us to wax lyrical about. The music of this album is just as adventurous and ambitious as the words. There are samples that are classic, like the Isley Brothers wrapping around you smooth as silk sheets on “Big Poppa.” And productions that feel way ahead of their time: “Respect” sounds like it could’ve been an outtake from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. And then there is the iconic “Juicy” with a Mtume sample that fits so good it feels like it was inevitable. Once again this list is bringing up interesting juxtapositions, and I find myself listening to this right after the Freewheelin’ Dylan, thinking about how young these two voices were, and how powerfully they established an identity.

Few albums bigger than this one in middle/high school. Was not into it then, but I'm onboard now. Legend for a reason; here's reason #1.

Still hits.

Incredible beats and some of my favourite flows. Loved the MM feature.

Sickkkk album, kinda album that has your head bumping the whole time, really was a story with every song, 8.7/10

This was the quickest hour-plus long album I've ever listened to. I despise the interludes, the misogyny, and the Diddy of it all, but damn, this is a great fucking album.

YOU LOOK SO GOOD I'LL SUCK ON YO DADDY DICK 🗣🗣🗣🗣

Damn.

Solid and classic. Really enjoy it

It is a testament to how good a rapper Biggie was that even with all the weird skits and sex noise bits that this is still a good album. I liked "Things Done Changed" "Gimme The Loot" and "Machine Gun Funk" and of course "Big Poppa" is a classic.

This album didn't age as well as I thought it would. There is some great stuff on here, but, idk, it's a little one note, Puffy is on every track... It's getting a bit of a nostalgia bump in the rating, but, uh, well, I look forward to Life After Death showing up on the list.

Great album

Best Track - "Juicy"

Still a classic. But ran quite long and could have done without the (fucking) skits.

loved it- fun to hear so many references or pieces I know in full

I agree with a lot of reviewers on here. If it wasn't for the cringe skits then this would be a 5* album and im not really into this type of music either.

- aborda temas pesados autobiográficos e é imerso de existencialismo. muito influente para o gangsta rap e para o rap no geral. - o flow e storytelling são as melhores qualidades dele, ajudam a construir ambientação, narrativa e emoções muito particulares que o diferenciam de outros rappers como o Nas

Dude liked to fuck and spit bars. Puff daddy liked to fuck up songs, among others… BIG had an amazing flow, the songs pull you in and the bangers bang.

Really great hip hop album. Haven't previously listened to Biggie rap but his lyricism is reeaaalllyyy impressive. Big Poppa is a 90s hip hop masterpiece, and much of the rest of the album holds its own as well. Didn't know he was so sexual but hey as he said, "you know why they call me Biggie".

Man's one hell of a rapper. However, the skits are so annoying that I regret buying this on vinyl. Playlist type man. Remember when everyone put skits on their albums? The 90s eh, the greatest decade in many ways but also so fucking stupid haha.

The radio-friendly almost R&B commercial tracks like Juicy don’t appeal to me much, but I really like the storytelling and humour on the other tracks. There’s some grit or funk to this album that catches me more than other rap albums. Really enjoyed it overall.

I don't even like rap but this is great.

Did not listen all the way through but good vibes

Wish Diddy could be removed and I separate artists actions from music well so it's not that

Fan alltså. Jag älskar biggie och detta album är inget undantag. Hög deppfaktor på albumet, jag får verkligen känslan av att jag håller örat mot en smutsig tapetserad lägenhetsvägg och tjuvlyssnar på grannarnas hastigt förfallande/kaotiska relation. Hela albumet känns som en livskris. Grymt inlevelsefullt. Och tragiskt. Tyvärr dras kvaliteten ner kraftigt av alla tramsiga skits och misogyna texter. Jag har lätt för att ignorera texter i låtar men det här dansar på cringe-territorium och då kan inte ens jag blunda för det. 4/5.

Intro : gave me anxiety- like AH. but I do like the background music thing going on. It did not feel like a song felt like AHH which ik is the point but not my thing... Things done changing : yes vibes, so far my favorite. "Back in the days, our parents used to take care of us / Look at 'em now, they even fuckin' scared of us" is bars "Machine Gun funk" : 2nd favorite so far. I love the storytelling of the album, it feels like every song leads into the next. "ready to die" - good track, def goes into the story telling. The little audio details are so fun. in juicy "blow up like the world trade" caught me completely by surprise.. haha. also hamilton refrence (trust Ik its not) 4/5 overall I really enjoyed and probably would listen to most of it again and i only didnt really like a couple songs! (ALSO : now ik where all the samples come from : big poppa ding noises)

I'm so glad I gave this One More Chance. Biggie got the meanest cleanest penis.

classic album

Overall cool '90s rap album, lots of sampling, throw a weird skit in the mix, it's all very familiar to other rap classics I've received from the list, and they released earlier, but it still sounds good and it earns a listen

4 stars despite the worst skit ever

This was an intense listen. Biggie is a phenomenal rapper, but the song content could be difficult to get through at times. And don't even get me started on the interludes. Why he had to make 2 references to beating Tina turner on one album is beyond me. I wish we could have heard what a mature version of him would sound like. His dying at 24 is horrific.

Really struggled with rating this one. It's really hard to beat Biggie's flow and wordplay. Not every track/skit hits, but the tracks that do hit hit hard. 3.75 stars rounded up.

There’s no denying “Big Poppa” as one of the greatest party songs ever. Like a repeating record on this list, my younger self probably would have rated it higher.

Another album that's not for me, but I can recognize. Without Puffy, this could be a 5*. I have long felt that Puffy is a mid producer at best. Biggy was not my favorite, but he had crazy flow, and he could adapt to different styles and beats. All the extra crap Puffy put in here made the album too long and just takes away from Biggie's flow. Influence 5. Hits 4. Quality 4. Intangibles 4. Give me old school West Coast and its progeny and Jay Z if I have to pick a New Yorker. 2.

What an album. What a legend. What a whatever else one might typically say about an excellent album of the rap variety.

some seriously out of pocket lyrics

This album is something else. If not for the fact that it's something that's absolutely not for me, that would be a straight up 5/5. But yeah, you should definitely listen to this album, even if hip-hop is not your thing.

One of the best albums to come from 90s hip hop.

Classic hip-hop album showing all aspects of the gangster lifestyle. Interludes/skits drag just a bit too long.

One of the best rap albums of all time.

Cranked it up and drove around Goring-by-Sea with the windows wound down in my Vauxhall Cavalier SRi. This offered a great opportunity to pretend I was in a real life version of Grand Theft Auto trying to avoid getting a cap in my ass and to not come across one of the many hoes I had wronged. Other than that, some great music, album far too long and could have done without the sex noises creating an awkward moment while I was waiting for an old lady to shuffle across the road at the belisha beacons.

Skits man! I would rate it higher if it wasn't for skits.

Undeniably very good, really liked the middle section with really snappy and complimentary production (unfortunately from Diddy). Could do without the skits and sex noises tbh

It's the man, the myth, the legend. What more needs to be said? fav tracks: Juicy

So good. Can't believe I haven't listened to this before. B.I.G. sounds like a vet

Probably my favorite flow, and incredible considering how stripped down everything else is.

Great music, but ew!

I don't know much about any rap related genre and am a believer that no album should have skits. That being said, you can easily tell Biggie was a true artist. Personal enjoyment: 4/5 Relevance to this list: 5/5

Not the type of music I listen to, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate how good this genuinely was. Like, I feel cool listening to this. Yeah, I listen to old school hip hop. You know what I’m saying?

Very intense but poetic

Hard to deny Biggie’s influence on the game, but fuck this is a hard listen. Especially given its proximity to biggie’s assassination, which I maintain was a gov’t job. Hell, maybe Tupac was too, I don’t fuckin know. Sorry biggie. Your songs are sad as fuck but they’re extremely good. Sorry you wanted to kill yourself. You would’ve loved MF DOOM bro

Gangsta shit. Hører at det er mye bra her, men trenger å høres mange ganger merker jeg. Og fader for et langt album

Banger!

80

One of the albums you can’t argue with deserves to be on this list. The intro alone puts it on this list. One of my all time favorite hip hop artists, he redefined the genre and defined the era of east coast vs west coast. His voice and storytelling holds you captive and he woos you with storytelling like a ghetto poet and gangster. And songs that become time stamps in the rap catalog. I heard this as a teenager and I blew the doors off the hinges and gave this suburban white kid a peak behind the veil. My sheltered ears weren’t ready to hear some of this though and I loved it for it.

brother I’m trying to work cool it with the horny skits

Brilliant. Near perfect. Tragic we never got the follow up.

Its got some audio porno that gets old. But otherwise great

its good. it doesnt seem like he was a very nice fella though

1. Finally, an artist I actually know alot of the discography for 2. Interestingly, the original album ends on Suicidal Thoughts but the Remasters have “Who Shot Ya?” and “Just Playing (Dreams)” to finish it out, apparently this is a frequent thing to add stuff later? 3. There is a certain flow that he is able to consistently do that really gets more emphasis out of words than most rappers I hear 4. RE: Remaster, the same thing happened with Nora Jones’ album, but it’s actually very hard to search on Spotify for “the original” album and the remasters/etc will always take priority or the originals are impossible to find without a direct link 5. “Intro” is overwhelming as hell but maybe that’s kinda supposed to be the point 6. Damn, first song is def “dark” in terms of overall mood, talking about his mom’s cancer, the shitty neighborhoods and things he had to grow up with, it’s just super heavy 7. Idk why, but it’s odd that songs from then don’t explicitly do a “feat. X” so I’m hearing a song like Gimme the Loot and it takes quite a bit of searching to find who is rapping with Biggie (Easy Mo Bee in this example) 8. Jeez, “Gangsta/ster Rap” really used to have a lot of “ya we go out shooting people” and it’s kinda crazy how normalized it was (and kind of still is) 9. That Interlude is… something 10. I’ve heard of a lot of the songs on this album, but my fav new one is The What, 2nd is Respect, 3rd is Unbelievable 11. Did he just say Rudy Giuliani on Everyday Struggle?? 12. He has MULTIPLE songs where a “pager” goes off, and it’s actually very anxiety inducing hearing it and trying to figure out where it’s coming from before you realize it’s in the song 13. Big Poppa still slaps to this day

I don't think I've ever listened to this album in full, or really listened to B.I.G. albums straight through. More just as one of songs. Listening to it as an intentional album feels like it helped me get a lot more into the vibe of it and feel more connected with it. That or this is just B.i.G.'s best album and it was a total sleeper. The "sex scenes" really detract from the experience though. Like bruh....

4.5 stars

What an intro

Classic, but he’s done better

All time great but not the best

Me encanta el rollo de este disco. Guarradas aparte.... Temazos como "Juicy" o "Big Poppa" son eternos.

Even if this is not my kind of music at all, I can recognize the genius at work here. The misogyny kills me though.

Juicy is one my favorite vocal turns ever.

Some of the in-between moments could have been left out, but there's a lot of bangers. Biggie had a way with words that few other rappers could match. Pretty good production too.

Loved the skill of the artistry here, less so the lyrical content. Still, glad I listened since I was a sheltered kid in the '90s.

An absolutely essential listen in the rap genre, Biggie is one of the GOATs. Gone too soon. Probably goes without saying that the lyrics haven't aged all that well, and you could argue it's a tad bloated, but Biggie does a perfect job placing the listener into his shoes (and bed, lol) on the mean streets of 1990s NYC. His flow is unmistakably solid.

I've had pretty strong negative opinions of the other gangsta rap albums that have come up on this list, so I wasn't looking forward to listening to this today. I also read some of the reviews that mentioned significant misogyny and violence, things that I found problematic with those previous albums. I was very surprised when this started, as I really liked some of the first few songs. This felt different, not a glorification but more of an explanation. Of course some songs were way over the top and I didn't appreciate them as much, but then it would get back to some feelings of regret. The thought coming to mind is that there's a self-awareness here that I haven't found with other records in this genre. And Suicidal Thoughts kicked my ass. I also really liked his rapping style and found it very listenable as a whole. The Sean Combs of it is problematic, of course, as is some of the heavy handedness, but I'm now more interested to listen to more 90's hip hop albums without having the same preconceptions that I've had.

Instant klasyk w momencie wydania, który nie stracił nic ze swojej świeżości. Kawał fantastycznego rapu - flow, bity, delivery, serio topka. Plus Biggie miał bardzo charakterystyczny głos, który dodawał wszystkiemu kolejnej warstwy jakości. Z drugiej strony to wciąż gangsta rap, gatunek, którego nie lubię i który uważam za szkodliwy. I symptomatyczny dla upadku Ameryki. Dlatego na pewno nie mógłbym wystawić mu piątki. Ale jest parę kawałków, do których pewnie chętnie bym wrócił. Zresztą od dawna raz na jakiś czas słucham "Machine Gun Funk".

Another debut that doesn't sound like a debut. The hits "Juicy" and "Big Poppa" are huge but thankfully most of the other tracks aren't lacking either. A few lines haven't aged well, but I don't know how received they were at the time. As such its a fantastic rap album and is an easy 4/5 for me.

Pretty good. The sexual interludes are a bit scary to listen to at work 8/10

Good rap album with subject matters that reflect from love to mental health.

Obviously a stone cold classic.

Top track: Juicy / One More Chance

insanely impressive album on all fronts for such a young artist at the time. strong production and an unmistakable voice

Filled to the brim with classics, grooves that justify an 1hr 15 runtime. Hard to say anything bad about it, just a whole vibe

the balance of the beats and the lyrics is god tier

Um clássico do Hip Hop. É um produto do seu tempo, mas ainda é legal de ouvir. QKZXHBB Hades.

4.75

A rap god is born for a brief shinning moment.

On ne peut passer à côté de cet album. Cependant, j'enlève un point pour les skits absolument dégueulasses. Note: plusieurs chansons de cet album sont non disponibles au Canada sur Spotify, dont The What.

I really liked this one. Didn't expect that! The skit at the end of Warning with them both realizing they have red dots on their head is funny > Oh, shit > What? What's wrong? > What's that red dot on your head, man? > What red dot? > Oh, shit! You got a red dot on your head, too > Oh, shit!

Blown away by the flow and lyricism here. Those lyrics are poetic and abhorrent. 4/5 and I'll likely never listen to it again.
