Biggie's Ready to Die Among TIME's ALL-Time 100 Albums
Time Magazine has selected Bad Boy Record's 1994 Biggie Smalls' 'Ready to Die' among the magazine's all-time 100 albums. Its among a very small selection of rap/hip hop albums making the list.. Labels: Biggie Smalls, Magazine, Notorious BIGFrom Time.com
A nice accomplishment to be named among so many greats.
Christopher Wallace was a Brooklyn drug dealer, and, if his early interviews are to be believed, not a very nice one. Luckily, this was not his signal accomplishment. On Ready to Die Wallace took his street corner experiences and filtered them through his considerable charm. The result was a record that mixed long stretches of menace ("Things Done Changed," "Everyday Struggle") with romance ("One More Chance") and lots of humor. No rapper ever made multi-syllabic rhymes ("Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis/ When I was dead broke man I couldn't picture this") sound as smooth.
