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. Review: A Poignant Reflection on Life’s 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.

The Real Version!!!!! (illegal)
In 1994 When "Ready To Die" First Came Out It Was Everywhere, If You Lived In New York(The Same Way That "Get Rich Or Die Tryin" Was In 2003). I Was A Kid Back But When I Got 17, I Decided That I Would Buy It But Unfortuately The CD Was Pulled From Stores Because Of The Ohio Players Sample On The Title Track. The Cd Was Remastered Afterward And The Sample From The Track Was Removed And Bad Boy Added "Who Shot Ya" And "Dreams" Plus A DVD With All The Videos From The Album....Not Bad But If You Dont Care About The DVD And You Already Own "Born Again" Which Has "Who Shot Ya" On It Already All Your Really Getting Extra Is A B-Side That You Can Cherry Pick From The Remastered Version (MP3's) And A Song Thats Missing A Sample.....I Wanted The Original So Thats What I Got, It Was Used But I Got It. The Album Is Great If You Dont Care About The Missing Sample Buy The Remastered Version. If Your Like Me The Extra Songs + The "One More Chance Remix" Will Run You A Grand Total Of A Extra 3 Dollars.

Press BUY NOW
The record was perfect and brand new. Sound is amazing! The music that comes off of the record is amazing. This record is second to none. It may be the greatest piece of art anyone has ever created. Not the Mona Lisa, not the David, not the Trevi fountain. This record is the best!

This album is one of the all time greats. The album is consistently excellent not containing any bad songs, whilst also containing songs like "juicy" (at this price it would be worth it for juicy alone, kinda). It is probably the best hip hop debut album of all time. It created an icon: Biggie Smalls. It is simply a must have!
