"does biggie make the best album in hip hop history? yes he did, life after death" - juelz santana

[street heat]

its not the greatest album by a long shot, and big ISNT the GOAT.

how the fukk can someone with 2 albums be the GOAT ?

thats like saying some dude who had one great season in the nba is better than MJ

 

[DontEemTry]

I would lose respect for Juelz if I actually had any respect for him in the first place.

 

[AMcV'88]

"Respect" has always been instant skip status to me.

i fukk with the song but i always felt like the bars and beat on that joint didn't belong together.

 

[L $ C]

Are you guys serious? LAD is not even top 100 hip hop albums. Literally half the tracks get skipped.

half the tracks on LAD get skipped?








really fam?

 

[H. Selassie]

LAD is in my Top 5 All-Time Hip-Hop albums.

 

[Da_Eggman]

It's hard for me to ever not go with Illmatic as the goat album

But LAD might be the goat
It just has more content there is just so much substance packed into LAD

I'm still hearing new shyt listening to LAD like "oh wait now I know what he meant with that line"

It's the darkest album too even the pop hits are filled with hard lyrics

Everytime I listen to it I get sucked into that dark place biggie was in

No lie, he could have spit those hypnotize verses on any hard beat today and they would be considered top notch bars!

one thing about bad boy that was underrated was that on the "Pop singles" they were still SPITTIN with multis and all of that. Just look at Mase's "Feel so good" or "Been around the world" as well as "Mo Money Mo Problems", none of those CLUB JOINTS had any reference about "sippin on so and so", or "being fresh and sittin next to, take you home sh*t", they were actually SPITTIN! Then you have the catchy hook and bam! the single was official

real talk about badboy they made biggie, LAD >>>> R2D easily.

niether are top 10 albums to me.

 

[dre]

lookin' at the track list right now, 1 thing that's pretty impressive is the fact that it's a double cd with a total of 24 tracks with only 8 songs havin' features

That's unheard of nowadays. On a 12 track single album 8 collabos would be normal now

Yeah a primary reason I love LAD...it's like a gauntlet. Like Diddy and the Hitmen put beats together and were like "OK, let's see what you can do with this."

I feel like it was a one of a kind album by a versatile lyricist at his zenith. Diverse content, diverse flows, diverse moods...

 

[JMD]

Man it's crazy how BIG made came out with 3 discs of non-skip tracks while he was alive. I agree with Juelz not that it was the best album ever but that it was better than RTD. I do think that it was the best album of balancing commercial tracks with the more hardcore ones.

 

[JerseyFinest!]

LAD Is def better then RTD
BIG all around was just a more well rounded artist on LAD
and it shows in the music

I say the same about Illmatic and IWW
Nas was just rhyming on beats on most of Illmatic
he was an actual artist on IWW

 

[Shadow King]

If you took 8 songs off LAD there would be an argument. As a double disc, no.
