Life After Death

The King of Brooklyn, Biggie Smalls, busted through with an instant hip-hop classic on his first album, Ready to Die, but he outdid even his standard on Life After Death, an audible, posthumous autobiography about the life of the former dope dealer. The 2 CD set revels in death, especially on "Niggaz Bleed," "Somebody's Gotta Die," and "You're Nobody ('Til Somebody Kills You)," but it's painfully clear that this chestnut-cheeked, fun-loving father of two wanted to see his kids grow up on "Sky Is the Limit" and "Miss U," both of which point to the future. The album also serves as a testament to Biggie's flexibility: he adopts Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's rapid rhyme flow and Midwestern beats when they guest on "Notorious Thugs," he positively bounces on both "Mo Money Mo Problems" and "Going Back to Cali" (guesting Eazy Mo Bee), and even kicks it Wu-Tang style when RZA shows up for "Long Kiss Goodnight." --Asondra R.

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: May-24-2006; Basically, Biggie's "It Was Written"; Like Nas and "Illmatic" Notorious B.I.G. dropped a masterpiece out of the gate with "Ready to Die" in 1994.If you're more into hip hop at his purist, rawest and realest state (READ: cold beats, thought-provoking lyricism with a grimy,...; read full review | report as inappropriate

1/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Dec-04-2007; A Terrible Way To Go; Every time I hear him talk/rap it gives me a headache. This is possibly the least talented man ever, and is an essential for any "gangster" collection. Possibly the worst album ever, no wait he has had worst, but this is down there with...; read full review | report as inappropriate
