Music Review

Since this topic is kinda vague, I'll just review the album that I'm currently listening to. That album is Ready to Die by the Notorious B.I.G. The album starts with the sounds of a woman giving birth and the sound of a heartbeat. A very solid way to begin a album, his birth. The first song is Things done Changed where he raps about how life used to be very good but not everything is going to shit essentially. Biggie's flow is amazing and the way he raps is a style that is all his own. One of the greatest voices for sure. Gimme the Loot is up next, and B.I.G. does some crazy stuff with his voice and it sounds as if there are two different people but its Biggie the entire time. My favorite song off the album I think. His next couple songs are all great, Warning and The What with Method Man are superb. Biggie's most known song, Juicy is the halfway point of the album for me and is a great use of sampling and an amazing narrative. One of the truest songs on the album is Everyday Struggle, where he talks about sells crack but you sympathize with him and even ignore the gangster aspect of his life. Great song. Me and My Bitch is one of the saddest songs, where he raps about his bitch, who is in fact one of the closest people to him and how she get murdered, most likely because of him. Friend of Mine has the greatest line of the entire album "The blunts and brew thang, knockin some Wu-Tang, M.E.T.H. oh shit, look at them lips and them hips on that bitch. " Makes me laugh every time. Suicidal Thoughts is the last song and one of the most messed up of the entire album and closes out the album perfectly. This is a classic record!
