Because Ready to Die feels like a Stooges album in all the right ways, throwing out the halting, lurching hard murk of The Weirdness in favor of successive blasts of sleaze, intermittently interrupted by the occasional moment of reflection. Ready to Die is the debut studio album by American rapper The Notorious B.I.G., released on September 13, 1994 by Bad Boy and Arista Records. The album features production by Bad Boy founder Sean 'Puffy' Combs, Easy Mo Bee, Chucky Thompson, DJ Premier, and Lord Finesse, among others.

From joannajewsom
Almost flawless. I'd scrap Friend of Mine. Me & My Bitch and Respect are somewhat enjoyable, but I could leave them too.
Although I like Jay-Z's Blueprint a little more, this album, with its mix of street tales and concept songs and radio hits, actually laid the blueprint for East Coast mainstream rap.

Was going through every rap classic and giving them a listen. Not impressed with this one with the exception of the closing track.

There was a time I HATED this album, boy was I wrong. This is a masterpiece possibly the greatest album in the history of rap music. No Body i mean NOBODY flows like Biggie.

Not much to say. An absolute hip hop classic. Not even going to bother listing my favorite tracks because there are so many.

After several listens, it's apparent how well integrated the songs are to form a cohesive narrative, and each song is touching in its own way.

From sethmadsen
I think the Intro gave me more understanding of hip-hop/rap than anything else I've ever experienced in just over 3 minutes.
Also, probably my favorite song was Respect (I only pay attention to lyrics like 20-50% of the time.. this one was musically raw and liked Diana King.

Ridiculously enjoyable, so so good, his flows are ridiculous, the Fuck Me interlude was kinda cringe as well as blowjob sounds but this album is unbelievably consistent and brilliant. His lyrics feel so natural and real. Instrumentals are catchy and immersive too. Beats are classic. A pioneer of modern hip-hip for sure. Died far too young.

Ready To Die Album

Yeah..
Yeah..
(you ready motherfucker?)
(we gon' kill your ass)

As I grab the glock, put it to your headpiece
One in the chamber, the safety is off release
Straight at your dome homes, I wanna see cabbage
Biggie smalls the savage, doin your brain cells much damage
Teflon is the material for the imperial
Mic ripper girl stripper the henny sipper
I drop lyrics off and on like a lightswitch
Quick to grab the right bitch and make her drive
The q-45, glocks and tecs are expected when I wreck shit
Respect is collected, so check it
I got techniques drippin out my buttcheeks
Sleep on my stomach so I don't fuck up my sheets, huh
My shit is deep, deeper than my grave g
I'm ready to die and nobody can save me
Fuck the world, fuck my moms and my girl
My life is played out like a jheri curl, I'm ready to die

As I sit back and look when I used to be a crook
Doin whatever it took from snatchin chains to pocketbooks
A big bad motherfucker on the wrong road
I got some drugs tried to get the avenue sold
I want it all from the rolexes
To the lexus gettin paid, is all I expected
My mother didn't give me what I want, what the fuck?
Now I got a glock, makin motherfuckers duck
Shit is real, and hungry's how I feel
I rob and steal because that money got that whip appeal
Kickin niggaz down the steps just for rep
Any repercussion lead to niggaz gettin wet
The infrared's at your head real steady
You better grab your guns cause I'm ready, ready

I'm ready to die!
(nah we ain't gon' kill your ass yet)
(we gonna make you suffer)

Photos

In a sec I throw the tec to your fuckin neck
Everybody hit the deck, biggie bout to get some wreck
Quick to leave you in a coffin, for slick talkin
You better act like cece, and keep on walkin
When I hit ya, I split ya to the white meat
You swung on like you slumber right you fell to the conrete
Your face, my feet, they meet, we're stompin
I'm rippin mc's from tallahassee, to compton
Biggie smalls on a higher plane
Niggaz say I'm strange deranged because I put the 12 gauge to your brain
Make your shit splatter
Mix the blood like batter then my pocket gets fatter
After the hit, leave you on the street with your neck split
Down your backbone to where your motherfuckin cheek drip
The shit I kick, rip it through the vest
Biggie smalls passin any test, I'm ready to die!

I'm ready
(time to go, we gonna put you out your misery motherfucker)
Niggaz definitely know what time it is
The notorious one in full effect
For ninety-three!
Suicidal, I'm ready!

(now I lay me down to sleep)
Yeah
(pray the lord my soul to keep)
(if I should die before I wake)
(I pray the lord my soul to take)
(cause I'm ready to die)

(all y'all motherfuckers come with me if you want to)

(biggie smalls the biggest man)
(rockin on and on in ninety-three, easy mo bee)
(third eye, and the rest of the bad boy fam)
(I don't wanna see no cryin at my funeral)
