what do y'all think biggie's 3rd album would've sounded like?

[NormanConnors]

Biggie was much like Jay in that even though he was a transcendent emcee, his music always sounded very much like what was hot at the time.

RTD was a boom bap album.
LAD was a mafioso album.

Just look at what was hot in 2000 and therein lies your answer.

True Biggie's fit the climate but with his albums he had his own method/blueprint to having hardcore tracks but selling the album with commercial singles, Jay ended up butchering that tactic to death and ended up causing a ton of artist copying/landslide of bullshyt records.

With that said I think Biggie would have taken a less commercial approach on his next release.

 

[THE MACHINE]

Man Biggie flow was so dope I think he would've skated on these trap beats.

Biggie and Toomp

Because life after death not fukking with 7 day theory or all eyez on me. Ready to die not fukking with me against the world.

 

[AFRAM GLORY]

I remember Big saying he was 100 percent in line with that patent badboy jiggy commercial shyt with the old school samples. Dude said he was going in a direction where he just wanted to make fun records for people to dance to

I think big would've dropped a smooth ass pop album with hard lyrics and followed up on that with some NY grimey shyt with the commission.

 

[the cac mamba]

you all heard that first verse on victory

 

[Knicksman20]

imagine him over the so ghetto beat!

That's exactly what I was thinking bro. Also this Timbo beat:

Excuse the cac dancing

 

[Knicksman20]

yeah, i feel that and swizz's production in 99'/2000 was nice

One of my favorite Swizz beats from that era

 

[jadillac]

you all heard that first verse on victory

yeah, that was his swan song. And showed that he didn't fall off.

I dont think he would've waited 3 years to drop though because rap was blowing up too much to wait that long. Prob would've dropped again in late 98 after Ma$e.

i fukked with this beat too! i can hear biggie over this and he would've did his thing on this shyt!

 

[Suspicions]

his 1st 1 came out in 94'
the 2nd 1 was in 97'
they had a 3 year gap between them so let's say he would've taken off another 3 years and came back in 2000
how do you think the album would've sounded? what producers do you think would've made the production list?

@Knicksman20 @kingofnyc

Probably would have elements from shynes debut assuming puff probably passed shyne a couple of to be biggie instrumentals

I agree with this. Especially since the sound in 2000/2001 was moving back to lyical mc's and soul samples. Big would have murdered that type of production.

biggie over bad boyz would've been instant CLASSIC! and with barrington still on the hook too!

 

[C-Styles]

they had said that biggie was dropping 6 singles from LAD so i'm thinking no where near 98/99 would he have dropped an album, probably right early 2000's and it would've been his most criticized album, people calling him a sell out, saying it's too pop etc. then he would've came back harder in 03 with that soul sample and given us another classic with Ye and Blaze. That's the most logical/realistic scenario i can picture.
