Definitely a classic, despite a few small album in which Biggie goes after everyone, again. That collab was so unexpected and Big held his own with the fast flow. Bone Thugs were my 2nd favorite group after Wu at the time, so "Notorious Thugs" was instantly my favorite song on the whole album. Other standout tracks for me were "Last Day", which was my introduction to The Lox and I instantly became a huge fan of them. Although I always wondered had Big not died, would we have ever heard those disses, due to Pac's recent passing. I was surprised by all the shots that were seemingly aimed at Pac too like on "Long Kiss Goodnight". "Kick In The Door" became even better to me years after finding out it was mainly about Nas, Rae and Ghost. I loved the vivid raps and storytelling on joints like "Somebody Gotta Die", "Niggas Bleed" and "You're Nobody (Til Somebody Kills You)". There were a few joints I didnt rock with like "I Love The Dough", "Another", and "Goin Back To Cali", but those didnt kill the album for me. It's like he reached that level and the next minute he was gone. For me, it made songs like "Sky's The Limit" hard to listen to. ![]() ![]() After Death dropped when Big's death was still fresh so listening to it had a certain eerie sentiment.
