By the way, why do they still scramble words on the explicit version?īrad: I noticed that too but I have no idea. But also it is so strange that his entire career seemed to be about death. He died so young and it is really sad that he died just a couple weeks before his 2nd album came out. Who killed him, by the way?īrad: I don’t think his murder has ever been solved.īrad: Don’t start those rumors. He only has two studio albums so that Greatest Hits would be short. I don’t feel like my life was improved by finally listening to a full album of his music. It’s not terrible and I “enjoyed” it the more I listened to it but I am not going to queue it up on a playlist anytime soon.īrad: Personally, all I want or need from Biggie would be a greatest hits EP. Jason: This is one of those rap albums that I would listen to an instrumental album of. It’s somehow both misogynistic and homophobic at the same time.īrad: Yeah, on one hand I was thinking “Good for RuPaul to be mentioned in a rap song in 1994 and still be around today” but also thinking “That was a horrible dis on RuPaul and X-scape”
Jason: That’s a backhanded compliment if I ever heard one. He raps “I’ll fuck RuPaul before I fuck them ugly ass X-scape bitches”
I don’t enjoy the sex skit either. My biggest revelation was that RuPaul gets mentioned in the lyrics of the misogynistic bonus track “Just Playing (Dreams)”. One thing I don’t need to hear is someone giving birth for 5 minutes.īrad: Yeah, I agree. Jason: I skipped it after the first time. I was tempted to skip it midway through the first time. Jason: This album is 72 minutes long and the intro “skit” feels about an hour of it.īrad: I listened to this 5 or 6 times but skipped that intro skit after the 3rd time. But what I realized is I don’t care about him I just really like his samples and the production on some of the songs.īrad: I appreciate that he is telling his story on this album but I’m not sure how I’m supposed to feel about that. I liked “Big Poppa” of course because it’s nostalgic but that’s about it. Jason: There are about 2 maybe 3 tolerable songs on this album.īrad: I always liked his big singles but listening to a full album is a bit much. Jason: People LOOOOOOOVE The Notorious B.I.G.īrad: They do and I’m slightly afraid to say…I think he’s just meh. This album is on almost every “Best of…” list you can think of. After his death the album charted again and eventually went 6x Platinum. His lyrics are critically praised for unique storytelling. Released on Septemand is a semi-autobiographical account of his crime days.
