Life After Death

BIG's flow and storytelling was :whoo: on LAD...The tracks on this album plus songs like "Victory" and "You cant stop the reign" show you that this man was gonna be on some OTHER shyt if he had stayed alive. I don't think there has been anyone flowing any smoother than that since.


BIG was so versatile on LAD its crazy. Every type of hip-hop track is on that album and none of it sounds awkward or out of place. That is not easy to do especially on a double disc


He had the cream of the crop production on that album (doesn't sound outdated at all compared to some RTD tracks).

I didn't think it was possible to put together songs better than "Everyday Struggle". But it was done on LAD with tracks like "Somebodys Gotta Die", "nikkas Bleed", "Missing You", "Long Kiss" etc:wow:

Ready to Die is a masterpiece imo only albums I put ahead of it are Enter the 36 Chambers and of course Illmatic. I liked LAD it's a good album but I never thought it remotely compared to RtD, lyrically and flow wise Big grew but I liked the grimy,suicidal, sociopath Biggie from RtD better. I don't skip a single song on that album disk 2 of LAD I feel had a few skippers the 1st disks was listenable all the way through though.

This is crazy @FreshAIG When I was younger you couldn't tell me RTD wasn't the better. Now that I'm older I like LAD better. You can literally see & hear the evolution of Biggie as an emcee & he never reached his prime or full potential which is scary. GOAT died on 3/9th

I prefer the production on Ready To Die. Though I rarely listen to dude overall.

The way dude says, "The stress is building up, I can't.... I can't believe suicide's on my fukking mind!" That shyt is mind-blowing (no pun intended).

Ready to Die IMO, I'd say they both classics but both have a bit of filler.
