I might have heard Juicy and Hypnotize, and probably Big Poppa. I don’t think I’d ever really heard any of Biggie’s music before. I guess I’ll try to remember back to my first listen… I think I was probably a freshman in high school. It’s hard for me to really come up with anything to say in this preamble without kinda spoiling my thoughts on the album already since I first heard it years ago. I might even take the first Outkast album over this one too, but this is obviously still a must-listen project. I think Nas‘ Illmatic, UGK‘s Super Tight…, and Redman’s Dare Iz a Darkside are all better personally. It would be either number 4 or number 5 though. For me personally, I’d maybe have it in my top 5 albums of ’94. Hip Hop purists and normies tend to put this project in the list of their top 5 Hip Hop albums ever. This album was released on September 13th in the year of our lord 1994. Anyway, now that I’ve gotten that info out the way, let’s finally talk about Ready to Die… The KRS-One Marathon will include all of the BDP albums, so stay tuned for that next Monday.

There are some tracks here and there from the posthumous records that I do enjoy to some extent, but as full length projects RTD & LAD are the only ones I’m interested in covering here. Do people even consider that part of his discography? I don’t know… Anyway, since this isn’t really much of a marathon, I decided it’d only be fair to do a KRS-One Marathon after I cover Ready to Die & Life After Death. I flew past that milestone a couple weeks ago, but here’s the thing: I’m not planning on covering any of the posthumous projects, nor am I interested in doing that first Junior M.A.F.I.A. I waited until I reached 500 followers on Twitter to do my 2Pac Marathon, so I figured it’d make sense to do this after reaching 1000 followers. People have been requesting a Biggie Marathon pretty much ever since I first started doing them in 2015.
