I also think Easy Mo Bee was just plain putting out fire around this time frame. His work with Craig Mack/Pac/Big was some of his best work. Also his work with The Lost Boyz, LL, Ill Al Skratch & Points from the Black Panther soundtrack just to name a few more. He couldn't miss

I get what you're saying but it boils down to whether you prefer this bouncier shyt he's rapping on or those slower instrumentals on Ready to Die.

The 718
he also laced BIG with "I love the dough" but yeah like you said it wasn't really the Mo Bee sound and it sounded a lot cleaner but i also believe because puff discovered what Dre was doing on getting that CLEAN MIX sound and had "Life after Death" sound levels above Ready to Die as far as mixing goes. Also i'm guessing cuz the sound was evolving rapidly and Easy Mo Bee was keeping up with the times when given the opportunity to work with BIG again.
His two Life After Eeath Beats sounded in line with Lex Coups Bimaz and Benz and Lifestyles of The Rich and Shameless

Just different styles. Craig Mack picked bouncier beats while Biggie picked grimier stuff. Also most of those Craig Mack ones kinda sound like variations of Flava In Ya Ear lmao

I was wondering when somebody was gonna say it... cause that was part of the mixed reaction to Mack's album once it dropped back then. "Get Down" and "Judgment Day" especially sound like that. I think the beats that ended up on Ready to Die were more diverse- BIG wasn't rappin' on three beats that all sounded like "Gimme the Loot".
