The next person who tells me that “But Tupac is a poet man…” is gonna get a smack. I shouldn’t even be writing anything about this album, because I know it will turn into an essay and I’ll run on about how fucking amazing this man is. This is the debut album from notorious BIG, and it’s the best rap album I have ever listened to. I should start at the beginning. The intro starts with Biggie’s birth and the audio continues through his life to a point where biggie is heard saying “I got big plans.” The intro samples lots of songs, such as rappers delight by the sugar hill gang, and Superfly by Curtis Mayfield, and a snoop dogg song that I can’t name. This is honestly the only introduction that I don’t skip over when I listen to an album. Things done changed is track 2, about how life in the ghetto isn’t the same as it was before with the basic message (and chorus) being “Back in the day, they used to thump but now they blast.” Every song on this album is made of pure Win. I could write at least 300 words on how amazing each song is, but Wikipedia has this album covered with a great article about it.
I want to say more about how amazing this album is but I don’t think I need to, go listen to it, twice.
RIP the notorious BIG.
Great Wiki Article
