“**💭 Thoughts:** Some of the best flows that has come out of the genre of hip-hop and gangsta rap. Biggie really knew what he was doing and was taken from us too early. Easily one of the best hip-hop albums of all time. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Intro ⚪️ 2.) Things Done Changed 🔵🥉 3.) Gimme the Loot 🔵 4.) Machine Gun Funk 🔵 5.) Warning 🔵🥈 6.) Ready to Die 🔵 7.) One More Chance 🟢 8.) Fuck Me (Interlude) ⚪️ 9.) The What 🔵 10.) Juicy 🔵 11.) Everyday Struggle 🔵🥇 12.) Me and My Bitch 🔵 13.) Big Poppa 🔵 14.) Respect 🟢 15.) Friend of Mine 🟡 16.) Unbelievable 🟡 17.) Suicidal Thoughts 🔵 18.) Who Shot Ya? 🔵 19.) Just Playing (Dreams) 🟠 ──────────────────── **🤔 Track Rating Scale** 🔵 Loved — Thoroughly enjoyed it and will revisit often. 🟢 Liked — Enjoyed it, but it’s not one I’d revisit often. 🟡 Mixed — Enjoyed it somewhat, but some aspects held it back for me; most likely won’t revisit. 🟠 Disliked — Didn’t enjoy it very much; won’t be revisiting. 🔴 Hated — Didn’t enjoy any part of it; no desire to revisit ever again. ⚪️ Interlude, etc. — Not rated as an actual song. ──────────────────── **🏅 Ranking Scale** 10 — Perfect 9 — Exceptional 8 — Great 7 — Good 6 — Decent 5 — Average 4 — Below Average 3 — Poor 2 — Bad 1 — Awful 0 — Unlistenable”

“Incredible album. Nothing but pure old school rap, Biggie really is one of the best to ever do it and this album proves it. Top songs off the album for me are ‘Gimme The Loot’ ‘Ready To Die’ ‘Juicy’ ‘Big Poppa’ ‘Who Shot Ya?’ ‘Friend Of Mine’ ‘Just Playing (Dreams)’ ‘Everyday Struggle’”

“Hate one of the interludes did not need that in my ear while doing pull ups”
