5/5

It was a great listen. Wild World and longer boats were my favorites.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

2/5

I was looking forward to listening to this album but unfortunately I didn’t enjoy it. A lot of good songs were ended by over production of sex and unnecessary shit. My favorite song on the album was Respect however again at the end if you decide to not skip after the song ends you have to hear a girl get talked into giving a sloppy BJ.

...Baby One More Time

It was OK. Didn’t invoke feelings or emotions. Good guitar licks tho.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's
