Life After Death
New Import - R1 541302 / 081227960704
Sealed 2022 3LP Reissue, Housed In A Single Jacket With Custom Hype Sticker On Front. "It May Have Taken The Notorious B.i.g. A Few Years To Follow Up His Milestone Debut, Ready To Die (1994), With Another Album, But When He Did Return With Life After Death In 1997, He Did So In A Huge Way. The Ambitious Album, Intended As Somewhat Of A Sequel To Ready To Die, Picking Up Where Its Predecessor Left Off, Sprawled Across The Span Of Two Discs, Each Filled With Music, 24 Songs In All. You'd Expect Any Album This Sprawling To Include Some Lackluster Filler. That's Not Really The Case With Life After Death, However. Like 2pac's All Eyez On Me From A Year Before, An Obvious Influence, Biggie's Album Made Extensive Use Of Various Producers -- Dj Premier, Easy Mo Bee, Clark Kent, Rza, And More Of New York's Finest -- Resulting In A Diverse, Eclectic Array Of Songs. Plus, Biggie Similarly Brought In Various Guest Rappers -- Jay-z, Lil' Kim, Bone Thugs, Too $hort, L.o.x., Mase -- A Few Vocalists -- R. Kelly, Angela Winbush, 112 -- And, Of Course, Puff Daddy, Who Is Much More Omnipresent Here Than On Ready To Die, Where He Mostly Remained On The Sidelines. It's Perhaps Puffy Himself To Thank For This Album's Biggest Hits: "Mo Money Mo Problems," "Hypnotize," "Sky's The Limit," Three Songs That Definitely Owe Much To His Pop Touch. There's Still Plenty Of The Gangsta Tales On Life After Death That Won Biggie So Much Admiration On The Streets, But It's The Pop-laced Songs That Stand Out As Highlights. In Hindsight, Biggie Couldn't Have Ended His Career With A More Fitting Album Than Life After Death. Over The Course Of Only Two Albums, He Achieved Every Success Imaginable, Perhaps None Greater Than This Unabashedly Over-reaching Success. Ready To Die Is A Milestone Album, For Sure, But It's Nowhere Near As Extravagant Or Epic As Life After Death." AMG Review By Jason Birchmeier. more

Ready To Die
New - LP - RR1 285201
Sealed 2022 2LP Gatefold Reissue. The Seminal Debut From Brooklyn's Finest. "The Album That Reinvented East Coast Rap For The Gangsta Age, Ready To Die Made The Notorious B.I.G. A Star, And Vaulted Sean "Puffy" Combs' Bad Boy Label Into The Spotlight As Well. Today It's Recognized As One Of The Greatest Hardcore Rap Albums Ever Recorded, And That's Mostly Due To Biggie's Skill As A Storyteller. His Raps Are Easy To Understand, But His Skills Are Hardly Lacking -- He Has A Loose, Easy Flow And A Talent For Piling Multiple Rhymes On Top Of One Another In Quick Succession. He's Blessed With A Flair For The Dramatic, And Slips In And Out Of Different Contradictory Characters With Ease. Yet, No Matter How Much He Heightens Things For Effect, It's Always Easy To See Elements Of Biggie In His Narrators And Of His Own Experience In The Details; Everything Is Firmly Rooted In Reality, But Plays Like Scenes From A Movie. A Sense Of Doom Pervades His Most Involved Stories: Fierce Bandits ("Gimme The Loot"), A Hustler's Beloved Girlfriend ("Me & My Bitch"), And Robbers Out For Biggie's Newfound Riches ("Warning") All Die In Hails Of Gunfire. The Album Is Also Sprinkled With Reflections On The Soul-draining Bleakness Of The Streets -- "Things Done Changed," "Ready To Die," And "Everyday Struggle" Are Powerfully Affecting In Their Confusion And Despair. Not Everything Is So Dark, Though; Combs' Production Collaborations Result In Some Upbeat, Commercial Moments, And Typically Cop From Recognizable Hits: The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" On The Graphic Sex Rap "One More Chance," Mtume's "Juicy Fruit" On The Rags-to-riches Chronicle "Juicy," And The Isley Brothers' "Between The Sheets" On The Overweight-lover Anthem "Big Poppa." Producer Easy Mo Bee's Deliberate Beats Do Get A Little Samey, But It Hardly Matters: This Is Biggie's Show, And By The Time "Suicidal Thoughts" Closes The Album On A Heartbreaking Note, It's Clear Why He Was So Revered Even Prior To His Death."
