NOTORIOUS BIG READY TO DIE 1994 VERSION CD CRACK

There are three tracks on Life After DeathВ (which was released shortly after Biggie's death) that perfectly showcase his prowess for storytelling and complete my argument for his GOAT status: 'I Got A Story to Tell,' 'N***** Bleed,' and 'Ten Crack Commandments.' In just two albums, Biggie left an imprint on hip-hop that even the best rappers couldn't match with two or three times the output.ДЄt this point, those in agreement with me would typically cite the booming smoothness of Biggie's flow-he's just so enjoyable to listen to-or his uncanny dexterity and playfulness with language, or the crucial impact of particular songs like the aforementioned 'Juicy,' or 'Big Poppa,' or 'Warning,' or 'Everyday Struggle,' or 'Hypnotize,' or 'Sky is the Limit'-but I'd like to call your attention to a few less popular songs that highlight Biggie's single greatest achievement in hip-hop: his storytelling. Just for the sake of comparison, 2Pac released five proper albums in his career, but only two of them (arguably three) are particularly memorable, even for devout hip-hop heads. Since both of those albums are indisputable classics, game-changers in their time, one might say that Biggie has a perfect slugging percentage, to borrow a term from baseball. Biggie only released two actual studio albums: 1994's Ready to Die and 1997's Life After Death. Let's think in terms of albums for a moment.

This multi-dimensional combo of subject matter, styles, and skill sets is at the heart of Biggie's staying power and the reason he is the GOAT. When he came out, in the midst of the gangsta rap boom (first largely dominated by West Coast rappers), Biggie had it all: the kick back raps and earnest struggle rhymes of 1980s rap, the drug dealing/gun blasting tropes of gangsta rap, the effortless command of internal rhyme, wordplay, and metaphor that so many are still trying to master, and an imaginative grip on pure storytelling that is unrivaled by anyone since or before. Biggie, the King of New York, is the rapper for all times. Now, before anyone has aВ conniption talkin' bout 2Pac this or Nas that, Rakim this or Big Daddy Kane that, let me explain. While debates about who is the Greatest Rapper of All Time (GOAT) are part of the very substance of hip-hop itself, and thus will never be definitively settled, I submit to you that, quality for quality, Biggie was, is, and always will be the GOAT.
