Notorious 'Christopher George Letore Wallace' B.I.G. (Business Instead of Game) was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY on May 21, 1972. During his life he moved many crowds with his conversational style in Hip Hop. Before his death in 1997, he released two studio albums both garnering critical and public acclaim: 'Ready To Die' and 'Life After Death'. The Notorious B.I.G., made his recording debut on a 1993 remix of Mary J. Blige's single "Real Love." He soon guested on another Blige remix, "What's the 411?," and contributed his first solo cut, "Party and Bullshit," to the soundtrack of the film Who's the Man? Now with a considerable underground buzz behind him, The Notorious B.I.G. delivered his debut album, Ready to Die, in September 1994. Its lead single, "Juicy," went gold, and the follow-up smash, "Big Poppa," achieved platinum sales and went Top Ten on the pop and R&B charts. Biggie's third single, "One More Chance," tied Michael Jackson's "Scream" for the highest debut ever on the pop charts; it entered at number five en route to an eventual peak at number two, and went all the way to number one on the R&B side. By the time the dust settled, Ready to Die had sold over four million copies and turned the Notorious B.I.G. into a hip-hop sensation -- the first major star the East Coast had produced since the rise of Dr. Dre's West Coast G-funk.

A Poignant Reflection on Lifeβs Struggles and Triumphs
The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Ready to Die" album is a poignant journey through the trials and tribulations of inner-city life, offering an unfiltered look at the challenges faced by those living on the margins. From the harsh realities of local gang activity to the allure and dangers of drugs, Biggie's storytelling prowess brings these themes to life with vivid imagery and heartfelt lyricism. What sets this album apart is its raw honesty and vulnerability. Biggie doesn't sugarcoat the harsh realities of the streets but instead offers a window into his own experiences, flaws, and aspirations. Each track is a snapshot of life in the urban jungle, with Biggie's smooth delivery and clever wordplay captivating listeners from start to finish.Despite the heavy subject matter, "Ready to Die" is more than just a cautionary tale. It's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, as Biggie navigates the ups and downs of life with unwavering determination and a hint of humor. The beats are infectious, the production is top-notch, and the guest appearances only add to the album's depth and complexity. "Ready to Die" is more than just an album; it's a reflection of life itself, with all its struggles and triumphs laid bare for the world to see.

Came dirty and has skipping tracks
The media could not be loaded. After unwrapping it, I took out the vinyls and saw an unacceptable amount of dirt or whatever that dandruff looking stuff is on it, after cleaning and putting it on the player the first track went well, but the second track immediately had a bunch of skips in the beginning, I tried cleaning it again to no avail, so I just skipped that track and kept listening, but after flipping the record I heard that Ready to Die also had skips, I tried cleaning that side some more and it still was the same, moving onto the second record (side 3 and 4) it was also dirty upon pulling it out of the sleeve, after cleaning it twice just to be safe, I was happy to find out that none of them were skipping, overall the sound quality isn't too bad but it could definitely be better, it also might just be my player
