The East Coast's response to Death Row's commercial monopoly on hip-hop following the rise of G-Funk, this album is a classic. Producer Easy Mo Bee attempted to inject elements of G-Funk into the album, yet the album retains a unique East Coast flavor. Biggie's flow is remarkable. His oft-lauded storytelling capabilities are clearly apparrent in this disc, especially in such tracks as "Gimme the Loot" and "Warning." One particular single, "Juicy," stands out to me: the rapper telling his story over a catchy set of loops, it's sure to paint a picture in the mind of any listener. It's elegaic feel is contrasted on the next track, "Everyday Struggle," a song with darker overtones, Biggie stating that "I don't wanna live no more." Again, pictures appear in the mind's eye, painted by Big's full voice. The value of this disc comes not just from catchy beats or skillfully strung together rhymes, but the feelings one experiences in listening to it. Biggie makes a listener experience the feelings he feels by skillfully telling his story and speaking his mind. One experiences the mind of the late rapper through listening to this disc.Read full review
