Product Description
Notorious B.I.G (a.k.a Biggie Smalls, Chris Wallace) is back with a new album that will bridge the gap between hip hop and the world. His last album Ready to Die sold over 2,000,000 copies and this new release promises to be bigger, with special appearances by R. Kelly, Jay Z, the Lox, Too Short, Kay Gee and others. Highlights include "Hypnotize," "Lovin' You Tonight" (featuring R. Kelly), "I Love the Dough" (featuring Jay Z) and "The World Is Filled..." (featuring Too Short). Amazon.com The King of Brooklyn, Biggie Smalls, busted through with an instant hip-hop classic on his first album, Ready to Die, but he outdid even his standard on Life After Death, an audible, posthumous autobiography about the life of the former dope dealer. The 2 CD set revels in death, especially on "Niggaz Bleed," "Somebody's Gotta Die," and "You're Nobody ('Til Somebody Kills You)," but it's painfully clear that this chestnut-cheeked, fun-loving father of two wanted to see his kids grow up on "Sky Is the Limit" and "Miss U," both of which point to the future. The album also serves as a testament to Biggie's flexibility: he adopts Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's rapid rhyme flow and Midwestern beats when they guest on "Notorious Thugs," he positively bounces on both "Mo Money Mo Problems" and "Going Back to Cali" (guesting Eazy Mo Bee), and even kicks it Wu-Tang style when RZA shows up for "Long Kiss Goodnight." --Asondra R.
