Do Eminem relapse and recovery

[@mza3295]

Yo this album is actually insane, like you actually feel the gangsta presence of this album, it puts you in the hardcore streets of New York. Like the track Somebody Gotta Die, is one of the most gangsta, hardcore songs in the whole genre of gangsta rap

[@yfbnetwork]

Kick in the Door is for Nas “Your reign on the top was short like Leprechauns”

[@Paso2k1]

Legend is that "I Got A Story To Tell" is a true story and it is about the former Knicks player Anthony Mason.

Yep! 💯

DMX album next or Bone Thugs N Harmony would be dope to see yall react 2. Love yalls reactions! Keep up the good work & them classics coming.

[@Majkuu21]

Makaveli 7 days theory and J.Cole's 2014 forest hills drive gotta be next I love how you and your dad are listening to those albums. I started doing it with my father and he's loving albums I picked for him. Thanks for inspiration Rod

[@joeyscribbles6220]

You should let your dad listen to Me Against The World by 2Pac, the introspectiveand self reflecting on that album is 10/10 It would be something your Dad would love.

[@freddiebarry93]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@Cdubman007]

I Got a Story to Tell sums up Biggie’s greatness to me. When you hear the 2nd half of it (when he’s telling the story to the homies), you can imagine that exact conversation between you and the fellas at a barbershop or in the man cave, full of the same attitude and embellishments that we all do when describing our adventures. Then, listen to the first half and think how hard it would be to “sing” one of your own stories, with occasional rhymes, but always keeping your flow ‘in the pocket’. The man was simply one of the best ever at telling a story, while a movie of what he’s saying plays in the listener’s head.

[@Cdubman007]

I, like your dad, prefer LAD over RTD; much like I prefer Nas’ It Was Written over Illmatic. Wonder if he’ll be the same(?)

[@DarkSunRidah67]

If you think about it he told the story twice. Once in rap form, then the repeating of the tale to the homies & summing up the whole tale in less than 30seconds. GENIOUS !!!

[@nolimitbryan3263]

I’m not even from NY I’m from the south and I was at a park and somebody rolled by playing kick in the door 😂😂 biggie the goat

[@logicbk]

He didn’t like the first album because of the order in which you’re playing these albums. If he listens to “Good Kid Mad City” or “To Pimp a Butterfly” or The Marshall Mathers LP before Ready 2 Die, it will give the appearance of a step down in terms of overall production. It’s classic NY 90s loops and fire at that time. So its no surprise that he wasn’t impressed with the first. But this album, was his masterpiece. Let’s see how he feels about this one! Lol

[@dallasd214M]

I didn’t grow up in 90s but I still think the production on RTD. is great

[@MouseR985]

@@dallasd214M same, I think the reason why the dad didn't like rtd was because he thought Biggie was an average rapper before listening to much of his work and those thoughts blinded him

[@dallasd214M]

@@MouseR985 but even on RTD his rapping is legit flawless

[@MouseR985]

@@dallasd214M I agree, I think it was better than LAD because you could hear the hunger in his voice, but I imagine the dad didn't even pay attention too much to the lyrics because he thought there was no reason to do so. I mean, look at his reaction after listening to suicidal thoughts. It's pretty clear he didn't look too deep into the lyrics. It's great to see he started paying a lot more attention now with LAD. I think they should revisit RTD after this, I'm sure the dad will like it a lot more now that he got over this Biggie hate phase

[@dallasd214M]

@@MouseR985 Suicidal Thoughts is such an ICONIC SONG too, & I also take RTD> mainly cause LAD is so damn long of a album lol RTD is condensed with no fall off

Haven't watched it Yet Here jus to see pops changed his opinion after this...😆

[@IAintGonLieSoTellMeWhy]

The beef with biggie and wutang was the wu accusing biggie of biting the album cover with the baby on it

[@logicbk]

Btw. In Kick in the Door, in addition to the rappers you mentioned, like NAS, he was also talking about Jeru Da Damaja. When he says “son, I’m surprised you run with them” he was actually talking to DJ Premier. Preemo was Jeru’s producer and down with his crew The Gangstarr Foundation. Also, Preemo said he was ready to fight BIG and everybody in the studio when that song was recorded. Lol

[@branruss1942]

Damn, Pops!!! Did they use one sample for two different songs??? "That's right, we drop hits. Now tell me, how nasty can you get? All the way from the hood, to your neck of the woods....."

[@Milkers777]

This album showcased not only Biggie’s lyrical ability but also his storytelling,great musicality,introspective pov,intricate flows etc. to me this album made Biggie permanently in Top 3 ALL TIME FOREVER! He’s my Number 2 behind Eminem but anyones who in my Top 5 I always call them THE GOAT and Biggie’s THE GOAT🙇🏽‍♂️✍🏽🐐✨💯

[@joeyscribbles6220]

what is your top 5?

[@discografiadamusica]

[@AgentLemmon]

Personally, i think ready to die is better.

[@DonDadda45]

@@AgentLemmon Yeah Ready to Die is leeevels above LAD. Not even close imo. I mean don't get me wrong, his 2nd album still bangs and has some of the best tracks, but overall it doesn't come close to Ready to Die as an album.

[@Scratch2C]

Aint no way biggie is top 5. And that's not taking away from his contributions to the rap game. He's still an all time great.

[@dedricklane4899]

Pops reaction to Biggies line at 38:12 on what’s beef is what is priceless because that was probably all of our reaction during our first listen. Fing you tonight, Mo Money Mo Problems and I got a story to tell are three quintessential Big songs that clearly showcase Big’s myriad of MC skills

[@ReyHugoTelevision614]

Gotta remember by end of his career Biggie wasn't writing his verses down. A master lyricist

Good job on this one! BTW, The Biggie Interlude was from a hip hop classic by Spoony G called PSK (ParkSideKillers). He was known one of the first “gangsta” rappers, if not the first.

[@thereallyst]

Fun Fact: "I Got A Story To Tell" was about NY Knick Anthony Mason....

[@Bellamy_Koby]

Hm- Jay-Z was a big influence on Biggie too; he looked up to Jay business wise as Jay was his own boss/with an impressive mind and street wise as he had more bonafides and he started to not write his lyrics, because of Jay; even Little Cease say's that Biggie thought he was better than him and that checks out with a lot of other stories. I think one of the best way's to get a picture of Biggie's fondness for Jay is too look at his final rap city interview where at the end of it Jay-Z is the only person he shouts out by name besides his children at the very end. "Playboy Jay-Z, Jiggaaaa..." Also he calls him his "Ace Boon Coon" which pretty much means bestie on this album. Amongst many other evidence of their bond. But ye- Jay also did learn a lot from Biggie, but stylistically at least in their writing style/literary techniques and flow they're more different than people give credit to. They were gonna make the commission too.

[@travahnb.896]

The hook to Hypnotize comes from the Slick Rick track La Di Da Di. The fact that Big borrowed from early hip hop and now guys like Pusha T or Conway The Machine borrow from him, the original spirit of hip hop can still be felt today quite heavily if you know what to listen to.

[@XReactionsOG]

The Angela Winbush (Rene & Angela) musical sample for I Love The Dough was from 'I Love You More'..but A.W. actually sang the hook on that one.

I work from home, fortunate enough to listen to Jr and Sr Reaction Videos. 🙏🔥💯 One of the most copied Lines in Rap History: “Damn Right, If they head right, Biggie there Errr Night.”

[@ReyHugoTelevision614]

The beef with Raekwon and Ghostface came from Only Built From Cuban links album skit

[@zncuentertainment712]

The reason Angela Winbush is on "I Love The Dough" is because Easy Mo Bee sampled her Song "I Love You More" for the beat.

[@jarenbarbour3100]

Puffy was working with Ronald Isley and the Isley Brothers at that time who was married to Angela Winbush. That’s how he was able to have her record vocals plus I love the dough samples her song with Rene called “I love you more”. Angela’s Famous Songs are Smile, Angel, I’ll be good to you, You don’t have to cry, imaginary players etc.

I own this on vinyl and CD. Great album but not really a classic. After awhile the lyrics get redundant. If they would have put the best songs on one CD it would be a classic. They were copying All Eyes On Me by putting out a double CD
