Ready to Die

Rolling Stone Rank: 133

Ok, well.  What do you want me to say?  It was enjoyable, yes.  Biggie does a great job of drawing you into the world lived, or at least the world he imagines himself in.   I really enjoyed the songs he sampled, or rather the songs his producers sampled for him.  Well, other than my usual objections, I liked the album.  The songs flowed together well, nice producing Mr. Combs, and for the rapping was better than some of the stuff higher on this list.  Of course, when I say better you have to take it with the grain of salt that I have absolutely no idea what "good" is.  Anyway, off to Meg's birthday, later ninjas.
