Reaction when you first heard Suicidal Thoughts from BIG

from the opening lines to 
to 
after he merked himself. One of the craziest endings to a album Ive ever heard
I just remember thinking: wow, how come I'm just hearing this? This is the one Biggie track I never hear anywhere (for understandable reasons). This beat is fukking crazy right out the gate. Some real mystical, crossing-over to limbo type shyt. Then the drums kick in and I'm like 
My favorite part: "The stress is building up, I can't.... I can't believe suicide's on my fukkin mind." That pause, and then repetition of "i can't" is genius. Really puts you in the frame of mind of a dude about to do it. And those are the little but huge things that separate great rappers from these pathetic 'bars' 'lyricist' garbo rappers that nerds hype up. This hip hop shyt is about being vivid in your beats, the feelings and images your tone of voice and rhymes evoke. Not stuffing random words together and rapping fast while saying absolutely nothing - leaving no image whatsoever.
Lord Finesse has some crazy beats on the low. He had the best beat on War Report as far as I'm concerned.

I was in a negative state of mind, so I just did the
But the way the album ended and how LAD opened up made me wonder if the overlying concept to biggie's planned "trilogy" was LAD being him dreaming all the album while in a coma, then the third album being him waking up and working towards his dream, "Born Again"

Classic. It felt very scenic like a Hollywood thriller film to me.
It's a man succumbing to the pressure of society that's forcing him down the destructive path he's now on which he knows is wrong.
His best friend is trying to convince him about all the positive things in his life but still thinks that all the bad in his life upto that point vastly outweighs the positive. Now all he wants is the easy way out.
It's a powerful analogy for becoming a new person and changing your outlook on life which is why his 3 albums were going to be titles that were similes for exactly that.
Ready to Die (Figuring out where he went wrong whilst leaving his old negative life behind)
Life After Death (His journey to uprooting his living circumstances and having a more positive outlook on life but still holding onto the past somewhat)
Born Again (Truly embracing his new life. I always imagined he'd end the trilogy like the film Carlito's Way so he'd end up dying anyway since Ready to Die and Life After Death both ended in him dying anyway)
But, I love all albums that follow a theme in general. I miss the 90s and early 00s.
For the past 10 years every album sounds like a compilation.
No thought into the album sequence at all.
Though the album is a 9.9 the only thing that truly ruins a perfect score is the, "fukk Me Interlude". The Interlude with Lil' Kim pretending to suck his dikk is an instant skip.
91-98 were the greatest years for Hip-Hop in its purest form.

Tell the coli again how you thought one more chance by biggie sampled Ashanti IRL
I'm sure you discovered biggie in the mid 2000's and you've never bought an album so you wouldn't have heard any classic music in its actual context. Goofy clown fukkboi dikk eater
