"LIFE AFTER DEATH ISN'T CLASSIC" = SOHH FULL OF 90's BABIES

[HIPHOPmastermind]

:thumbsdow:smh: If I read one of you lames write this again, you card is going to be pulled. Stop with the revisionist history. If you weren't atleast 13 when this album dropped then you have no idea of it's impact or influence on hip hop. And don't give me no "Well I went back and listened to it", in 1997 you had to be into hip hop to get what this album did to the game. How does an album that has these tracks on it, isn't a CLASSIC:


SOMEBODY'S GOT TO DIE
HYPNOTIZE
KICK IN THE DOOR
I LOVE THE DOUGH
LAST DAYZ
MO MONEY MO PROBLEMS
*****S BLEED
WHAT'S BEEF
I GOT A STORY TO TELL
NOTORIOUS THUGS
10 CRACK COMMANDMENTS
MISS U
GOING BACK TO CALI
SKY'S THE LIMIT
MY DOWNFALL
LONG KISS GOODNIGHT
YOUR NOBODY TILL SOMEBODY KILLS YOU


:smh: Fu*k a Classic, "Life After Death" is a Masterpiece and there hasn't been many albums that you can put above it in the 11 years since it dropped. I mean seriously I've read "It has to many fillers". Even if you don't like the commerical tracks like "The World Is Filled" and "F*ckin U Tonite" they were still tight. The only true weak cuts and skip tracks are "Another" and "Nasty Boy". "Playa Hata" wasn't that serious and was pretty funny. The bottom line this is Hip Hop at it's best and there hasn't been a single emcee since Big that has been able to flawlessly mix Commerical and Street to the satisfaction of a complete album like this. Even Nas and Jay Z wish they made a double on the level of this:

"Life After Death" > "Blueprint 2"
"Life After Death" > "Street's Disciple"


That's All :king:

[AnwarSadatX]

i agree, classic

i agree, classic


Thank You, somebody up here has some sense.

[Sunzoo aka LC]

no, i'm nowhere near a 90's baby, i bought both of bigs albums and the JM joint, LAD is NOT a classic IMO

4 mics, RTD is a top 10 album of all time though, but LAD was a step down

if you went back and listened, you lost.

You missed a milestone in histry.

"Ready To Die" is a Top 5 Rap album ever so I agree that was Big's most shinning moment, but let's not act like "Life After Death" was so much a step down. Lyrically and Flowwise Big was better on his sophomore. Both albums had it's share of epic tracks. LOL @ 4 Mics?. Sunzoo if you don't mind can you name me 10 albums better than "Life After Death" since 1997. Because by saying it's 4 mics you are putting a lot of other albums above it when they can't compete. Look at those tracks I put up, how can an album with those tracks not be a Classic?.

[skip]

i was exactly 13 when the album came out and I don't think it was a classic. RTD is a top 10 of all time though.

[Da Sick One]

Yo...Cut that sh*t out. Threadstarter is a fugazee ass old timer.
Talkin bout "Well back in MY Day..."
STFU.

All my young *****s...Lets get this money.

[Bondz]

I don't know about you guys but everyone I know was already calling "Life After Death" a classic prior to it being released. I remember they mentioning it on T.V. even by the people getting ready to bootleg the album. Now that's power in my book.

[Havoc00]

3.5/5 at best

But please proceed to not have ANY kids whatsoever so that your bytchassness won't spread. :yes:

[The Real]

I really don't see how somebody's opinion isn't valid if they went back and listened to an album, because they were too young to hear it or understand it when it first dropped. If an album is truly great it should be able to stand the test of time and be classic regardless of when you hear it.

[shaolinshadowboxing]

The anticipation of LAD and the fact that it came out a couple weeks after Biggie's death inflated most people's opinions of the album, and its place in hip hop history (MTV had it in their top 5 if I remember right). I agree with Sunzoo, it's a great album but it's probably a 4 micer, 4.5 at best. Not a classic if your judging by quality.

I really don't see how somebody's opinion isn't valid if they went back and listened to an album, because they were too young to hear it or understand it when it first dropped. If an album is truly great it should be able to stand the test of time and be classic regardless of when you hear it.

that's y I fukked yo ***** >>>>LAD

[Bondz]

I disagree with the people that say it's not a classic. they just frontin'. Trust me, this album is on of the greatest double LP's ever recorder..EVER. That album was a major success and the quality still stand the test of time. It's still used as a blueprint for a lot artist who try to gain success on both the commercial and as well and keeping their street credibility as biggie perfectly did on both this album and his classic. Not other artist drop back to back classic like that.

[HIPHOPmastermind]

LOL, all you people saying it "isn't" classic, name 10 albums better since 97'?. Cards are about to get pulled. LOL @ "Life After Death" losing it's classic status because some people are mad. It has stood the test of time, I'm just sorry some people missed out. It would be like myslef saying "Follow the Leader" is only 4 Mics even though I was only 10 years old when it dropped and had to go back and listen to it. I wasn't into hip hop that strong at 10 years old. So that's my point to the 90's babies. It's hard to take a opinion seriously when you weren't there to experience what this album did to the game, the same way I wasn't really there to experience what "Follow the Leader" did. So it would lame of me to say "Follow the Leader" isn't a classic when the fans and the public crowned it that. The Fans and public already crown "Life After Death". Some of you guys are just trying to be different trying to go against this certified hip hop classic.

LOL @ anyone denying the Influence and Impact of this album. Thank you, you summed up my feelings exactly. Sometimes people just want to go against the grain. It's fine to have you own view but sometimes things achieve a level of success that they can't be denied. LOL @ anyone saying "Life After Death" didn't stand the test of time. Man rappers are still using Biggie's Blueprint (Including Jay and NaS) and can't make an album better.

Well if it ain't classic then you should easily be able to name 10 albums better than it. How many rap albums have been released since 97'?. That's my point, you can't name 10 albums better because it was that classic and there hasn't been that many solid classics like "Life After Death" since 97.

da fucck outta here man, for one, do you even need two hands, to even count how many double LPs have dropped hip hop wise? i mean damn

not everybody thinks that this album is a classic, and it has nothing to do with ignorance or being young in most cases, it has to do with the sh1t FOLLOWING one of the greatest albums ever made and not really measuring up due to TOO MUCH INFLUENCE FROM PUFFY

the sh1t was moving in a more commercial direction than the album before, it was double disc, so it was BOUND to be filler, and on top of it, to be so many actual different tracks, the subject matter didn't really extend beyond what makes up the bulk of biggies catalog, guns, coke and hoes

if you think it's the greatest sh1t ever then cool, but i'm telling you now, if you're looking for a consensus, or even a MAJORITY, you prolly wont find it, i'm not the only person who feels this way, and it's a lot of cats on here that would at least vouch for me being at least halfway informed on the subject at hand

i see what you're saying. follow the leader imo isnt more than 4 mics (the first 3 tracks are amazing but it gets boring after that, does not stand the test of time) but i guess it's a certified classic. maybe LAD fits that category, but like I said before I can't help but think that's because of the anticipation of it before it came out, and the fact that it was released a few weeks after Biggie's death. And there are way more than 10 better albums since 1997, there is some filler that really hurts LAD, like all double disc albums it should have been trimmed

Face it, the majority of the hip hop community already knows this album is a classic. Dropin' a "Hypnotize" and then gear up anthems for the street like "I Got A Story To Tell" and "Kick in The Door". Please, this was Biggie on a whole new plateau.

So Puffy didn't have an influence on "Ready To Die"?. "Life After Death" is the sequel to "Ready To Die" Biggie just used the same formula from this debut and expanded on his 2nd album. It was about 50/50 as far as Commercial and Street. On his debut it was like 60/40. You say "Life After Death" had too much Filler. Well name all the songs that are "filler" so everyone can get an idea of what songs you feel weren't up to par because again the song I named were far from filler but I will give you a chance to voice your view.

Quote me when I say this, "Lifee Afterr Death" is a classic album and majority of the hip hop community know this album is an opus release. This was one of the best album ever in Hip Hop and it changed the game, literally. This album was running the charts for years and the streets. It's documented so chill with the ignorance.

You telling me after all these years, "Life After Death" ain't no classic album after the worldwide influence it had when it came to this day when cat's are still jacking Biggie stelo and lyrics left and right for their own gain? You must be in denial.

This album was a major success for hip hop in general cause even with all the drama that the game was hit with, biggie focus on the bridging the gap between good and evil and making QUALITY music for the listeners. This album was and still is a major milestone for the hip hop genre and MUSIC in general. As an artist, Biggie proved he was and still is one of the greatest ever to bless us with his gift.

LOL @ listing classic songs as filler. Again if you weren't clubbing when "Hypnotize" or "Mo Money" came out, then you will never understand how Classic those songs are (And I know you weren't going to the club at 10 years old). LOL @ "I Love The Dough" and "What's Beef" being filler. Gotta love the 90's babies.

Only a few "Classic" joints?. Biggie dropped an entire disc worth of Classic songs on "Life After Death", LOL @ only a few Classics. And Big did drop songs as equally Epic as songs on "Ready To Die" These 13 songs can compete with "Ready To Die":

Somebody's Got To Die
Hypnotize
Kick in the Door
What's Beef
*****s Bleed
I Got A Story To Tell
10 Crack Commandments
Sky's the Limit
Mo Money, Mo Problems
You Nobody Till Somebody Kills You
Long Kiss Goodnight
My Downfall
Notorious Thugs

That's 13 Certified classics, I left off some other ones but those tracks can be knocked down to 4.5 or 4 mics as far as quailty. But these tracks are on par with everything he spit on "Ready To Die".

I was 13 when this album dropped and its up there with Reasonable Doubt but its not in the Ilmatic category.If LAD didnt have Nasty Boy,World is filled and Hyponotize album would be top 5 all time.I say album is top 10,its great but not a perfect album.

it was a cool album, but i wouldnt say its 5/5. Disc 2 wasnt really all that.

ETHER!, LOL @ anyone trying take away "Life After Death" classic status. This is worst than NaS fans saying "It Was Written" is better than "Illmatic" but that's another post. I love all the revisionist history. 90's babies need to man up for real. "Life After Death" has been the Blueprint to so many emcees it's crazy but because of 3 filler tracks it's not a classic? I mean the album has 24 tracks and 1 of those songs was a intro that's a total of 23 tracks. I would say Big was 19/24 as far as solid tracks and Classics. The other 5 can be questioned but for a Double album Big was shooting 80 Percent as far as hot songs. LOL @ anyone trying to take away one of hip hop's most crowning achievements. Jay Z and Nas would smack anyone denying this album it's classic status:

Jay Z: "Life After Death Changed Hip Hop Forever"

Nas: "I'm trying to make my double like "Life After Death" which was a Classic"

Jadakiss: "Life After Death" is a Masterpiece, Biggie had the glow like "Last Dragon" on that album

90's Babies move on, you are just wrong.

[Bondz]

no...it was puffy tellin him what to do

I'm sorry but Biggie was writing the lyrics, not Puffy...well, from what Jay-Z and other that can vouch, Biggie didn't write his rhymes down, he was formulating lyrics and verse on site when he was recording this album. Biggie was on a whole new level when he was recording this classic.

I never said it was perfect, I understand an album with 24 songs is going to have it's share of average or weak cuts but look how solid Biggie was on 2 disc. Can anyone deny this? People don't call Biggie one of the G.O.A.T.'s because of "Ready To Die" alone, though that got the ball rolling. If "Life After Death" wasn't as epic as it was, people won't be putting up there with the greatest of all time. This album changed hip hop forever, for better or worse Biggie had the right beats, rhymes and formula to take rap to a different level. In my view "Life After Death" will forever keep Biggie in G.O.A.T. discussions for all time. He's the only rapper in the Top 10 with limited material and this album is that reason.

:smh:, u cant even deny what puffy does, i never said biggie never made the lyrics up

...but you were basically flippin' what I said and stating that Biggie was not the one that was on the whole new plateau, but it was Puff. I'm not denying Puff's influence, but cats where buying the album cause of who else? Biggie.
