The Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die - The Remaster Album

Many rappers owe a debt to Notorious B.I.G. and his groundbreaking Ready to Die album released in 1994. A lot of these songs are about drugs, robbing, and the other things that go on in the streets which have become staples of hip hop. He was just rapping about them so he could eat. "Give Me The Loot" is one of those songs about his struggles. "Machine Gun Funk" is self –explanatory tune about an addiction to guns and "Warning" was a short song and video about people targeting Biggie for his money. Biggie’s rhymes influenced a laundry list of rappers today who don’t have half his style. This is a hip hop essential.
