Got to be one of the greatest and most balanced rap albums ever just by itself

SGTD one of the GOAT crime storytelling tracks

Hypnotize for my money the GOAT hip hop megahit that had NO compromise on the content

Kick In The Door one of the best rap tracks ever

fukk You Tonight baby making classic

Last Day street classic

I Love The Doe classic flossing track with some of the GOAT Jigga era verses

What's Beef street classic

BIG Interlude the best type of filler

Mo Money one of the GOAT pop rap tracks ever

N***** Bleed another GOATed storytelling track, the vivid details, Arizona Ron from Tuscon :wow:

I Got A Story To Tell, this maybe the track that separate BIG from his peers more than any other, the sense of humor, the natural charisma, this one really make BIG feel like your friend from childhood that made it good, he sound like your dude but also like a professional

Then you got the second disc that uneven but got at least 8 classic tracks on it :wow:

I am definitely :flabbynsick:

One of them West Coast BIG stans. Pac Stan too. I'm from that generation where we chose sides then realized how stupid that feud was and what we lost from it :mjcry:

All I can say is listen to side one of LAD straight through one more time, maybe it just ain't for you but that album always gonna be crazy to me

Definitely top tier. Usually ranked in a double disc list but when ranked overall against any album it's probably top 20ish . I still play it from time to time
