The double-CD LIFE AFTER DEATH arrives in stores, ironically and tragically, less than three weeks after the Notorious B.I.G. was killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles. Biggie Smalls, as he was known, quickly became one of rap's most respected MCs after the 1994 release of his debut album, READY TO DIE. His music sparked the comeback of East Coast hip-hop, while his very being added fire to rap's over-publicized East-West rivalry. For some (see "Playa Hater"), Biggie's success was too much to handle, and he became a primary target in hip-hop's continuing feud. Never feeding into that war on wax, B.I.G. chose to remain silent, until LIFE AFTER DEATH became a reality, and the situation spoke for itself. Although song titles like "You're Nobody (Til Somebody Kills You)" eerily mirror the real-life tragedy, the music on LIFE AFTER DEATH serves to bring the Notorious B.I.G. back to life. As anything that he appeared on, the production (by a superstar conglomerate including Sean "Puffy" Combs and the Wu-Tang Clan's RZA) is top-notch, and his lyrical skills are razor sharp. Biggie was loved for his versatility. On "Notorious Thugs," he switches up his style to rhyme like a member of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Tracks like "Hypnotize" showcase his ability to be hardcore and commercial at the same time. Another talented rapper lost to senseless violence; B.I.G.'s winning album streak will, sadly, have to end here.

起用なビギーを2枚組という壮大なボリュームで楽しめる傑作。HypnotizeやGoing Back to Caliといった現場ヒッツもいいですが、ナヨナヨなMASEのラップ!大ネタ使いの
Mo Money Mo Problemsは夏に絶対聴きまくる名曲!個人的にはR師匠との官能おシット
#! *@ You Tonightと哀愁メローSky's the Limitばかり気づいたら聴いてる。
大名盤と名高い1st「Ready To Die」の陰に隠れがちですが、個人的には断然こちら派。
ダイアナ・ロス使いのみんな大好き「Mo Money Mo Problems」、泣けるラストシングル「Sky's the Limit」、DJプレミアによる現場クラシックなど一時代の終わりと始まりを感じさせてくれる名盤。
「Hypnotize」「Mo Money Mo Problems」のようなヒット曲も最高ですが、Trap全盛の現代に聴くなら本作で最も重要なのは「Notorious Thugs」ではないでしょうか?元祖"歌ラップ"のボーン・サグズン・ハーモニーが参加しており、ビギーもそのマナーに則ってラップしています。まさにフロウの頂点が集結した本曲は正直、現代のそれをも凌駕しているなと感じてぶっ飛びました。
