#BIGGIE LIFE AFTER DEATH FULL ALBUM HOW TO#

On вЂњNiggas Bleed,вЂќ Big is a bagman sent to secure a large drug transaction, but his greed has him thinking about a double-cross: вЂњI kill them all, I'll be set for life,вЂќ he imagines. This feat of storytelling is repeated two more times on the first disc of this double album alone. Big's reaction is immediate: вЂњIs he in critical? Retaliation for this one won't be minimal вЂ™cause I'm a criminal way before the rap shit, bust the gat shit-Puff won't even know what happened.вЂќ WeвЂ™re settling into a bloody noir, complete with well-developed minor characters harboring demented pathos and subtle foreshadowing-all this before any hints of a radio single.

It begins sometime within the last recordвЂ™s timeline, with Big вЂњsittin' in the crib dreamin' about Learjets and coupes, the way Salt 'shoops', and how to sell records like Snoop,вЂќ when a fellow small-time drug dealer and jailmate informs him that a mutual friend has been shot for robbing a crack dealer in a most ruthless manner (вЂњpistol whipped his kids and taped up his wifeвЂќ). The proper arrival of this album comes on вЂњSomebody's Gotta Die,вЂќ a pure revenge tale. But where the first album started with a feeling of hope arising from the muck and mire of urban poverty, Life After Death announces itself in much starker fashion. Ready to Die, BiggieвЂ™s previous album, also began with heart-pulling cinematic flourishes, featuring a decade-spanning montage that played as a mini saga telling the tale of a small-time street thug who was raised in a dysfunctional home and turned into a formidably successful rapper.
