Life After Death – The Notorious B.I.G.View More By The Notorious B.I.G. Our ReviewAfter the existential drama of Ready to Die not only made him a platinum seller but guaranteed his status among many hip-hoppers as the greatest MC ever, the Notorious B.I.G. followed with a star’s album. Life After Death focused as much on celebrating (“I Love the Dough”) and griping about his newfound status (“Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems”) as on recalling hard earlier days. The violent details of “Kick in the Door” and “Notorious Thugs” are seen from a cinematic remove, while “What’s Beef” is mostly a pro forma boast until Biggie drops the line about killing children. A tough good humor shines through on the shaggy-dog “I Got a Story to Tell” and the rapper’s new-school redefinition of Quiet Storm (“F***in’ You Tonight”). But even with the often lush production, myriad cameos (Jay-Z, Lil’ Kim) and general air of triumph, there’s no escaping the fact of young Christopher Wallace’s murder shortly before his sophomore album’s release. In the end, an unintended eeriness carried the day, as on “Miss U,” which borrows a Diana Ross ballad to toast a dead homie: Right-hand man Diddy would repeat the formula months later with “I’ll Be Missing You,” a tribute to B.I.G. himself.. Customer Reviews11 x Platinum is Not Hype! (5 stars)This album is amazing because rappers 1st albums are usauly amazing because they are hungry for money, and That was what Ready To Die was about, and usually the follow up is all comercial.(50 Cent; The Massacre).

Thats the only way to descibe Biggie and this album. Its hard to say that this is better than Ready to Die but its has to be said. With songs like "Whats Beef?" and "Kick in the Door" are instant classics and accomplice the bonofied Puffy-produced pop hits like "Hypnotize" and "Mo Money Mo Problems". This album truely shows how crazy B.I.G could get lyriclly with songs like "Sky's th BiographyBorn: May 21, 1972 in New York City, NYGenre: Hip Hop/Rap Years Active: '90s In just a few short years, the Notorious B.I.G. went from a Brooklyn street hustler to the savior of East Coast hip-hop to a tragic victim of the culture of violence he depicted so realistically on his records. His all-too-brief odyssey almost immediately took on mythic proportions, especially since his murder followed the shooting of rival Tupac Shakur by only six months. In death, the man also known as Biggie Smalls became a symbol of the senseless violence that plagued inner-city America in the...
