Can we all admit that Life After Death is the greatest Hip Hop album of all time?

[Antiquity]

Ready to die

Life after death

He spoke his death into existence

On the real, LAD was great but did have some horrible filler on it tho...Playa Hater

 

[Supreme365]

You saying it is or it isn't? Because all I meant from my post is I'm not gonna sit there and work out where it's placed compared to other classics, but at the very least it's top 10..maybe even 5.

I think it's top 10 or even top 20

Nasty Boy was EASILY the worst song on LAD. shyt was terrible.

Playa Hater was funny. "You've been robbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbed"

what's so hard to understand?

just post who you think did that before biggie, and keep it movin

I was seeking clarification. Your saying Biggie was the first to have a party record that was hot and a street record that was dope?

Life after Death is vastly superior to Ready to Die.

It's like comparing a mixtape to a award winning film score.

 

[Knicksman20]

Fixed.

And the fact that Puff makes sure he has publishing on all the radio/crossover songs Bad Boy made was

True Puff came up with that but it was Big who executed it perfect & at the highest level where he didn't even skip a beat. He kept his hardcore base but brought in casuals as well.

Nasty Boy would've been a HUGE single had he lived to promote it. If Puff was able to get the sampled cleared from Prince they would've remixed it.

Nasty Boy definitely would've been a club banger & a single. Big would've done a radio version of it & had he lived he probably would've used the original beat that didn't get cleared (Prince blocked it).

another, player hater and nasty boy prevent this album from being a 10/10

 

[Curufinwe]

No

 

[Sccit]

LOL NOT EVEN BIGGIES BEST

 

[SemiEnlightenedBum]

nah

Melatonin Magick is

 

[FeloniousMonk]

I gotta admit, I chuckled at the 1st sentence. Then I read the last statement like

Well..trying to define ONE album as GOAT....just aint gonna happen..its your opinion..you convey a decent argument tho...but you sound like a fan first..so that will show bias..

 

[Youngblood Priest]

Bar for bar? I don'tknow about that. I would put Adrenaline Rush against it going bar for bar. I'm not really a Big fan, but I copped RTD first day. I still feel that album is better.

 

[Curufinwe]

The simple fact that Biggies fan are trying this hard 20+ years after means that his legacy is not absolute.
No body fight the legendary status of Nas, ATCQ, Jay-Z, 2 Pac, Mobb Deep et cie.
Al theses legend delivers classic albums accalaimed in and outside the Hip Hop Game.

Biggie is like Big L. He was great but didn't have time/consistency to deliver 2/3 classics in his lifetime to become Legendary.
