This is another one my favorites during Hip Hop's golden era. Biggie came out very strong with his two singles Juicy and Unbelieveable. He also proved to be a damn good story teller with Warning and Me and My Bitch. The production was spot on and he was indeed very ill on the mic. Full review coming soon.

This is my favorite Biggie disc, hands down. A CLOSE second is Life After Death because he had some sick collabos on there but this one...how can you beat Juicy, Unbelievable, One More Chance, Who Shot Ya?, Big Poppa, and Me and My Bitch? I'm looking forward to the full review!

I enjoy most of the least popular cuts on this like Things Done Changed and Respect. I really feel like throwing on this album right now. That review might come sooner than you realize.

Woohoo! Yeah I listen to this one at least once a month, I find. It's my hubby's favorite Biggie album as well, so he'll throw it on in his car's rotation for a while. Put it on, you won't be sorry! Biggie Smalls is the illest...

A crying shame that Biggie got shot.

I think Chris Rock said it best in his special "Never Scared" when he mentioned that all the good rappers get killed while Vanilla Ice is still alive.

I wouldn't be honest if I said that I already knew the young man Christoper Wallace aka Biggie Smalls, aka the Notorious B.I.G. would be the rap phenomenon we all knew him as. I heard a couple of his cuts; most notably his track Party and Bullshit off the Who's the Man? soundtrack, and his featured cut on the late Heavy D's posse track A Bunch of Niggas off the Blue Funk album. Including myself, several folks I knew saw he had talent and some even had a feeling that … more

I missed the Biggie/2pac era in which people looked left and right to each coast of America to produce its next biggest track. (Instead, I grew with Badboy's later artists like Mase, 112, and Danity Kane.) But with the hugely anticipated Notorious movie coming up which portrays the life and death of the the famous rapper, I decided to take a more honest listen to the entire album that started Biggie's career and took the label to high places even after his death.
