:usure:since run dmc? if you're 28, they blew up before you were born and fell off when you were three years old.

i didn't say i was listening to them since "sucker mcs" dropped.:facepalm:

yes, i was about 3 or younger, when i knew who run dmc, fat boys, etc were. i used to watch videos like cartoons. and was moreso introduced to rap via the mid-80s regime. not-so-much the rakims, juice crews, etc.

basically i rocked with VHS chit and whatever was played around me. i wasn't following the latest happenings or anything like that. understand?

And I been listening for just as long or longer..I had RTD on cassette when it dropped..had LAD BEFORE it dropped...and i DEF been writing for longer..I used to DJ since the 90s...etc..etc..it still dont matter fam..lol..I'm not tellin u ur not allowed to like LAD better..I'm saying that it's not some rare thing that people prefer RTD better...Biggie was more polished on LAD..yet and still..RTD is what made him who he was..Biggie died when LAD dropped so there's literally no arguing RTD's impact bro...there isn't...that's just rewriting history...most legit Biggie fans prefer RTD over LAD..whether they liked how polished he was on LAD or not...to keep it real wit u..LAD is more of a personal classic than all time classic like u makin it..I guess u can consider it an all time classic now considering who made it and what happened around it...but musically?.aside from a handful of tracks...nah..Wacky was right..shyt was goin in the shiny era which EVERYONE knows is trash..NOT sayin LAD is trash..im a fan of the album...

Like I said..it's not an opinion that Life After Death was more polished and commercial..its definitely an opinion which one is better..u right..but it's also not an opinion that amongst the hip hop heads RTD is considered Biggie's best album..same way Illmatic is considered Nas'..of course there's alotta people that feel their sophomore albums were better..but it's not some "strange" opinion that their first albums are better..which is what I'm tryna say...amongst hip hop heads that's a really normal opinion and he made it seem like it was out of the norm or somethin...RTD is considered one of the best hip hop albums of all time..LAD just generally isn't...I don't even know why people are quoting me arguing this shyt..lol..LAD came out basically when Biggie died...it wasnt a wack album at all but it was hyped as well cause of the fact...it didnt do anything for the nikkas career while he was alive...RTD is what gave Biggie his status while he was alive..thats the album that made the nikka who he was...anyone who says anything different is a liar...
So you could say that Ready to Die did more, or everything for his career but LAD did equally as much for his legacy.

I hope that ain't the case.

Anybody heard the album he did with Miles Davis? This may sound stupid, but that album put me onto Miles Davis.

just admit that you exagerated, it's ok, we all do it from time to time.

1st LAD isn't a "Personal Classic" that's ridiculous, it's been listed on countless greatest of all time list and is one of the most influential rap albums of all time. The album is Classic period. So is "Ready To Die". I do think it's a matter of preference cause "RTD" is for old school rap fans and "LAD" is for new school rap fans. Biggie made 2 back to back Classics for multiple era's in Hip Hop. What can't be disputed is that "Ready To Die" is what made Biggie, Biggie. It was the album that set the whole era and movement off. It took the East even further than "ILLmatic or 36 Chambers" could cause they weren't as commercially successful.

Also Biggie would not have gotten "Blacklash" for LAD cause he gave the streets tons of Classics on that album as well as the mainstream. Now for the Easy Mo Bee drama, it's true that Diddy did him dirty but Easy sort of fell back from producing cause he was very upset with the politics of the game as well as the fact he felt Rap died with Biggie and Tupac's death. Easy was also upset at Diddy for taking co-production credit on some of the beats he did. He's still a Legend and has produced some of the greatest beats in rap history. Easy Mo Bee is about 50% of the reason "Ready To Die" is Classic and he produced 2 Classic songs on "LAD" too with "Goin back to Cali" and "I love the dough" but you could tell with those two beats, Diddy wanted a most polished sound from Easy than that striped down raw sound from LAD. I don't think Easy Mo Bee produced a single weak song for Biggie:

Gimmie the Loot
Machine Gun Funk
Warning
Ready To Die
The What
Friend of Mine
Running from the Police
Dead Wrong (Original Version)
House of Pain
Flava in Ya Ear Remix
Goin Back To Cali
I Love The Dough

If you put all these songs on a mixtape, it's a Classic Mixtape.

RTD has better beats

LAD has the better BIG flow and lyrics (ghostwritten by The Lox of course)

No..nikka wouldnt have a legacy without Ready To Die...Life After Death was a good album...but if it came out while he was still alive..it would've faced more criticism than it did...again...I LIKED the album...so I'm not hatin on it at all..this whole shyt is retarded cause anyone tryna legit argue that more Biggie fans fukk wit LAD than RTD is buggin imo...
